Anyone at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad up for a run through the play test material?

I'm looking for an RPG group at the U.S. Embassy compound in Baghdad. I prefer 4E, but am open to other options.

This sums up my feelings perfectly.

My biggest dissapointment from the article is the confirmation that it is an action RPG. I know it was a forlorn hope, but I really thought that the 4e ruleset would work best with a turn-based RPG. Oh well.

So, to get full us out of this, I would need to purchase a DDI subscription as well. Makes sense. I've thusfar avioded DDI simply because the character builder doesn't work on Mac OSX. This software could induce me to take that plunge though. Yeah, if it were released for a Mac I'd...

Is the content acquired at the time you purchase a license static, or does it update with future releases? For instance, if I were to purchase this software with a 4E license today, would I have access to PHB3 content when it comes out? If so, then this would be a phenomenal alternative to...

I'm sure that the idea of a computer game based on the 4E rule set has been bandied about quite a bit. I'm also sure that the recent legal issues vis-a-vis Hasbro and Atari will significantly delay development of any 4E game. I'm under no illusions that my ideal game would be developed, let...

While its prime was a few hundred years before the Byzantine period, Palmyra (Tadmoor) is a pretty cool place. Located in the Syrian desert between the Roman and Sassanid Empires, it had been a center of trade. However, by the Byzantine era it had already declined in importance. If you...

I've recently moved here and was wondering if there are any other gamers in East Java. If so, shoot me an email at danchops at gmail dot com.

Ah man, talk about bad timing. I was living in Muscat until recently - I would've loved to drive up for some D&D monthly or so. I know there used to be a Warhammer store in the Mall of the Emirates; that might be a place to find gamers. Good luck finding people!

I just found out that I'll be moving to Surabaya for work later this year and was wondering if any of you out there play D&D in Surabaya or there-abouts. Anyone?

Sorry to be such a quibbler, but the USA fiscal year ended last month, on September 30th. Fiscal year 2009 began on October 1st. Just in time for the election a month later.

I think the focus on classes rather misses the point in this instance. For me, a mini's usefulnes isn't determined by the class it's intended to represent, but rather by the equipment it's carrying. For instance, a human fighter with heavy-ish armor, a weapon, and a shield could as easily...

I hadn't heard about this. Do you have any more information?

Silly time-out induced double post...

Yup, just got home and checked the PHB and confirmed that my memory does indeed suck. That'll teach me to jump into discussions without having the books on hand. :-S

I can't check at the moment (at work and the Compendium seems to be down) but doesn't the Demigod ability specify "Attack Encounter Powers"? And isn't the Dragonborn breath weapon a "Dragonborn Feature" power (as opposed to, say, a "Fighter Attack 1" power.) If that's the case, then it seems...

It sounds like you're looking for the equivalent of Cantrips for all the classes. Interesting idea, although I'm afraid I don't have anything to add at the moment.

The situation: Suppose a character takes the Pact initiate feat and a subsequent power swap feat. Now let's suppose that the character chooses to take a warlock power that has additional affects for a warlocks of the pact the character chose when taking the Pact Initiate feat. (For example, say...

That's how I was reading it as well. Glad to have confirmation. The only circumstance I can think of is if a character made intelligence his dump stat, and doesn't want to add a negative modifier to the effect. From a RAW perspective (which this board deals with), you're absolutely correct...
