I am looking to make my 4e races seem less magical. I want to change the dragonborn, the tiefling, and the eladrin to make them as mundane as the rest of the races. That means no fey step, no dragon breath, and no resistances for tieflings. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I would...

So I am planing a D&D 4e PbP campaign. I have a few ideas, but I am drawing a blank on the details of a major element. Here are the sketchiest of details so far. The game will be based on the idea that magic sealed away of a group of necromancers three milenia before when they almost took over...

Play-by-post is a very fun format for role playing. It opens up the possibilities for groups that you can play with, it creates a very interesting narrative, and it allows you to role play in small increments of time. Unfortunately, it takes forever to get anywhere. I have run into this problem...

I have seen a lot of homebrew classes, feats, powers, etc.... Much of it is good, much of it is not. I think something that would be helpful to many homebrewers is to have the math all laid out for them. There are a ton of people who know the math. Many of the optimizers can site all the numbers...

I have been frustrated with a lack of crunch to support many fantasy archetypes. Granted, I am really good at reskinning things, but I also like to find elegant house rules for things that are simple, achieve the results you are after, and don't break the game. This is something that requires...

Intro Image The sound of the water rippling along the raft is soothing. The early morning sunlight is spectacular as the Blackwater Cat glides along the river. The mist has mostly dissipated as the rising sun burns the last tendrils from the surface of the water. The call of the ringed...

Post your finished characters here. Please post a character sheet as well as the public information that party members know. Keep the other stuff private so that it comes out in play.

I am planning to run the Return to Northmoor AP. I am looking for players that would be willing to commit to a post a day, not counting weekends. I am not looking for amature novelists. I would like people with a good command of the English language, but there is no need to feel you have to be...

I miss my swordsage from the Book of Nine Swords! It had much of what makes 4e great, and it had all of the flavor that should have been in the original 3.x monk. I wanted to create a class that could be used to create swordsage characters, monks, and even psychic warriors. Here is what I am...

So we all know that there are some areas of the 4e Core that could have used some better editing. We also know that, while WotC may be faster at getting out errata for 4e than previous books, the pace of new questions is much greater than the pace of errata being put out. This creates a...

I intend to play 4e without minis or a battle grid over the interwebs. Sounds heretical, but stay tuned, and you too may be able to accomplish this seemingly impossible task. To start, I am Old Skool. Not even the type of old school that is cool anymore. I started playing D&D at the age of ten...

Thinking about the various problems that players are having with the possibility of converting their favorite character to 4e rules, I have come to a few conclusions. From what has been shown in the limited data set we have been given about the rules, I have concluded that converting virtually...

So I have looked into and tried several of the open source tabletops. The thing that I don't like about them is that the map and graphics can be a little distracting for gaming the way I like, and I think that it will only get worse if I go for a commercial product with fancier graphics...

So with all this talk about simulation and whether 4E gets it right accordng to traditional D&D tropes, I was wondering if 4E can do any other fantasy styles better now. I always had a hard time eleminating all the D&Disms out of my games when I was trying to emulate (not quite simulate) other...
