    Does this sound like a compelling/workable encounter?

    Starting a new face-to-face campaign (at level 1) and likely kicking it off with a goblin attack. Long story short, the campaign setting has primordial/elemental heavy themes. So I'm thinking about using "fire goblins" that attack some of the farmland at the outskirts of a town. The goblins...

    Help with some complex encounter design

    **Note: If you are in my game, Ascendancy of Darkness, please be a good sport and stay out. Don't spoil your fun ** In the campaign I'm running, the town in which the party is currently staying is about to get attacked on two fronts. One force will come from the docks, the other on the...

    And here's the pitch!

    Okay, so I'm about to toss my first submission over the wall to WotC and I'm putting together my email pitch (as per their guidelines). Which leads me to my newb question. In their guidelines they recommend a 500 word maximum on your pitch. 500 words seems like a heapton of words for a pitch...

    How will you incorporate Essentials?

    Title says it all, well almost all of it ;) Assuming you plan to use Essentials and the associated "errata" that comes along with it (new stat boost options for races, miss effects on wizard encounter powers, etc), how do you plan to incorporate them into your existing game? Will you let...

    Running, Writing, and Fishing

    Hey all, I'm starting up a new game. It's a 4e homebrew setting and it's the first time I've been in the GM chair since '03. I've run several games in the past, so I think I know a decent amount of the tricks of the trade, but (a) its been a while and (b) there's always room for improvement. So...

    Divine Challenge/Divine Sanction

    Apologies in advance for my laziness, since the answer to my question is likely out there somewhere in the vastness of internet space... Is there any clarification if feats that work with divine challenge also work with divine sanction? Literal interpretation suggests no, but it definitely...

    In-Game or Out-of-Game Setting Material

    So I've seen two distinct methods of approaching setting material. Out-of-Game - The setting material is presented in, let's say, "text book" format. There is no attempt to suggest the material in the book is in any way in-game. This seems to be the more common practice and there's two...

    Getting a book on release day

    This might prove to be a silly question, but I figured I'd throw it out there anyway. I'm looking to get my paws on PHB3 on the day it comes out and not later than that. My question is how to succeed at this, with the following caveats: - I don't want to support my LFGS because it is does...

    4E Alternity?

    Just curious if anyone out there is taking a stab at 4e-izing Alternity. For some reason I have this vague memory (hallucination?) that someone mentioned 4e versions of the races were out there...

    Earthdawn - 4e or original rules?

    So I’m contemplating running an Earthdawn game and I can’t help but look at 4e and see incredible amounts of similarities. This leads me, inevitably, into thinking about how much work it would take to make 4e-ize Earthdawn. Which leads me to a handful of questions… If you were running an...
