Not sure if this blog is well known, but Talen over at PRESS.EXE has some great 4e content and still updates regularly. He wrote a pretty interesting article ideating on ways to improve upon the Vampire class that might be good inspiration!

I really enjoyed this one as well. I spent several hours porting everything over into Roll20 for a Nentir Vale campaign that fizzled out right before the party arrived in the area, which was frustrating, but it did force me to really dig into the book's content and get my money's worth out of...

Session 06 The party successfully navigated a swarm of paparazzi and adoring fans following their dramatic train defense. Kellen masked their faces and voices with magic, allowing them to engage without blowing their cover. Soon after, Thorgrim scared off an agitated cultist from the Circle of...

Session 05 The party fought through some last reinforcements at the Cinderfell Conglomerate Residuum Processing Plant, outmaneuvering them and rigging the place to blow. In cool Action Hero style, they emerged into the Southern Wastes just as the plant was utterly destroyed, sending scraps of...

Blows off dust It's been a while! I totally fell behind on updating this, and now the campaign is on Session 19, so plenty to catch up on. Hopefully some folks are still interested in reading. Session 04 Returning to Dahaska's commercial district, the party sought out Mhorvin Shelf-Stocker, a...

Glad you enjoyed! Super pumped to hear about your campaign as well. What PCs do you have? Any good stories you might want to share? As for the Tower of Waiting, I used a pretty generic "tower dungeon" map with some stunts & similar on it to promote PC interaction. The D&D Doodle blog has some...

Session 05: The Road to Winterhaven PC Retcon: The player for Lou, the dragonborn cleric, asked to retcon his character's deity to be Kord, given the way he's been playing the character. So now we have two devotees of Kord and one of Gruumsh in the party, so I expect most problems to be settled...

Thank you so much! This made my day. :) Session 04: Success at Last Continuing their victorious momentum, the party made quick work of the demons remaining in the Fallcrest Catacombs, sanctifying Elsinore's ritual circle to boot. Perhaps their earlier defeat was just a prelude to this greater...

Yes, I've been trying that! They seem to enjoy it, although it does require a fair amount of back-and-forth between sessions to make sure I know what to prep. It's a little difficult to create the sort of high-complexity setpiece combat encounters 4e is known for on the fly (at least for me, and...

Blows off dust. It's been a while! Like many gaming groups, we usually end up taking a bit of a hiatus around the holiday season, which was a little longer this year thanks to life events aplenty. However, we finally finished up session 3 last night and I'm here with another session report...

Session 03: Into the Catacombs After a brutally exhausting day, it was definitely time for well-deserved rest. The party, Juniper Swiftwater included, spent some time chatting over food and drinks at the Nentir Inn. After a night's sleep, they picked up a few potions of healing, alongside some...

We're using mundane D&D 4e! I've been getting a lot more out of the system recently after reading some of the excellent play-by-post games on this site, such as this one.

Session 02: Allies & Enemies Delving deeper into the Tower of Waiting, the heroes found themselves against stark opposition. What's more, the gods seemed to be set against them, with every blow of theirs falling short, and those of their enemies striking true. Could this be the end for them? As...

Given how much fun I've been having with my other (4e-adjacent) campaign, I started another campaign with a smaller subset of players, playing on alternating weeks to the first game. I've long been in love with the Points of Light/Nentir Vale setting, so I knew I wanted to keep the Vale as the...

Since the party will be leaving the Living Dungeon in tonight's session and heading into the wider setting in pursuit of their various Quests and plotlines, any advice on handling Story Now narrativist gameplay and staying creative on my toes? Feeling nervous but excited. :D

We just had our 2nd game session last night! :) First, we concluded the battle that capped off the previous session. The dwarven ghosts exploded into burst 1 damage when defeated, so they added some fun tactics to the fight. The kruthiks mostly targeted the other humanoid enemies, like Mr...
