    Making your own power cards

    Can we get a sticky for the power cards efforts of the various folks so people don't have to hunt a 80-page thread for them?

    Making your own power cards

    OK, you note that the text will be black on the right. That's good. My main fear with the cards is legibility (edit: especially at the gaming table where lighting conditions may not be ideal). Not sure if the font is big enough nor if the contrast is high enough (though black text against a...

    Making your own power cards

    Dunno if someone has made the comment... please leave the area where stuff will be written as a solid white background. If I print these on a color laser, then it is difficult to write over the glossy toner if the background is not white.

    Making your own power cards

    1) you are reading tone into "unlike ander" 2) the only claim that his will be different is that he intends to update (more?) often. The other numbers aren't claims that they will be different. Frankly, if ander and grandpa are burnt out, then I am glad that someone else has picked up the...

    Why do you keep playing 4e?

    Part of creating an adventure in 3.5 was adjusting the monsters to your groups difficulty rating. Adding/subtracting levels to monsters in 4e takes 30 seconds, in 4e you were lucky if you could do it in 10 minutes. Creating classed monsters in 4e is very fast as well. I am probably slow, I...

    Power cards downloads

    Maybe it is a different computer setup issue... I printed out grandpa's cards (after reading the readme) with no problems. I print them on normal paper and slip them into playing card sleeves. Do you not use them because they are not index card sized?

    Making your own power cards

    (new cards with blanks) Looks very nice! I would use them.

    Power cards downloads

    Hey DennisB, I finally found the cards I was looking for... I love these, maybe you can work with "Grandpa" or ask to edit these, or maybe you didn't like these for some reason (which is fine too) http://www.enworld.org/forum/4351249-post718.html

    What can Google Trends tell us about D&D?

    I would say be careful using that tool. I tried using it for video games and trying to determine which would be a commercial smash hit (and not just a success) and it seems to be a indicator of interest/hype but not necessarily of people making final purchases.

    Power cards downloads

    DennisB, I'm looking for a powercard set where it had blocks to write in the attack bonus, damage, and maybe an extra block for push squares... The cards had all the other information on them. Might be Ander00 cards? Do you know? I remember the orientation being in portrait format.

    How do you use D&D Insider?

    Oh yeah, printing up monster statblocks is great so I don't have to flip between Monster Manual pages during the actual game.

    How do you use D&D Insider?

    Today I'm finding D&DI very helpful for encounter building and I'm not even using their "encounter builder" tool...! So I'm trying to build some encounters or encounter groups around dragons and their elements, but I don't know what all resists various monsters have. So I search the Rules...

    Why the D&D Miniature Line Failed...

    One reason why the price went from $10 to $15 was that the price of oil went up at least 50% in that span. Plastic comes from oil, but now that oil is back down, I doubt they will cut prices.

    Player ineptness...

    different idea yeah, um, it sounds like you did not properly introduce the idea of 4th edition. If your group is used to playing 3rd edition, I would say that "4e plays like mid-level 3rd edition. Your characters are much more durable hence having 24 HP at 1st level instead of 4, your...

    New D&D Mini Fails and then...

    Let's define failure... Failure to me would be if there were 6 different boosters to buy and 3 of them became very popular with the community and the other 3 were ignored. This could "fail" because retailers stuck with the unpopular 3 would be pissed by this stock that does not (turn over)...

    Why the D&D Miniature Line Failed...

    Though there are some things to "not like" or are suboptimal about DDM, I'm not sure why it is being called a "FAILURE"...? Did WotC announce that they were ceasing to produce DDM? The quality of DDM has increased. The random issue can be avoided if you don't buy the mini packs, but instead...

    Do You Have 'Enough' Minis?

    Hey Joe, good to see you around the 'net! I am a sucker for cool looking minis, but have given up on painting them, and so now I just buy D&D minis (because they are pre-painted). Several years ago, I bought a couple of complete sets Harbinger & Dragoneye off of eBay. Just recently I went...

    Wrath of the River King - Wolfgang Baur's Open Design

    Rechan, there was a recent news item on EnWorld that said basically "sign up now, or else!" Sorry that you missed that.

    The Opposite of Rail-roading

    Responding to the OP, I understand that your PCs have "a reason to be together" but they don't have a "stated purpose". For example, I'm running a 4E game set in the Nentir Vale & Fallcrest (back of the 4e DMG), once the players finished Keep on the Shadowfell, I got them to agree to a group...

    DM's perspective: How to deal with the flaming sphere

    Interesting thread. I think the original premise is slightly flawed... Why try to neutralize one of the few things that a wizard is good at? Not sure what level your game is at, but I tend to have monsters ignore damage if they are stuck (fighter's challenge) or if they are attacking an enemy...
