This sounds a lot like the one -versus-many board game Level 7: Omega Protocol, where the players spend adrenaline to take actions and then the Overseer player uses the amount of adrenaline the players have spent to take the enemy actions. I loved that game so will definitely check out...

I will be there. It should be fun. I am looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones.

As an avid board gamer and lapsed RPGer, I have been wondering recently where the RPGs are that use board game mechanisms like deck building, worker placement etc. So I am glad I saw your post. Out of all of the board game mechanisms, I think Deck Building would be the most suitable for RPGs...

13th age is my favourite RPG, but I agree with you about the icons. When I have run a campaign, I've got the players to roll at the end of a session so I can work out by the time of the next session what all the rolls means, but I would still be interested in alternatives to the Icon rolls and...

This was a delightful read. I am glad you were rewarded for your courage, I would never have the balls to make all the sacrifices you and your wife did to achieve my dreams. I can't wait to read more of your articles :)

I was going to pick this up at Dragonmeet, but I got sick so I couldn't go. This was by far the biggest reason for my disappointment at not being able to go :(

Thanks guys. I will check out everyone's recommendations.

Thanks. Looks like I should definitely check out Scales of War!

Thanks! I will look that up. I always liked some sort of hazardous terrain in 4E combat and it is certainly something I want to use in my board game.

Hi, What were your favourite combat encounters in 4E? Ideally from a published source so I can go and look them up, but your homebrew ones are welcome if you describe the set-up in enough detail. The reason I ask is that I am designing a board game and I am taking some inspiration from 4E D&D...

On Friday, I donated the money I had made so far from Perilous Places: The King's Mercy to the Alzheimer's Society. £23.44 has been raised so far. Thanks to anyone that bought it. Pictures for proof in the tweet below: https://twitter.com/paulbaalham/status/837575913109929984

Just to let you know that I have updated the file to replace the picture of the Mind Flayer with a better one. Also for anyone who is bored and wants something to read for 5 minutes, I wrote a G+ post about my experiences writing it: https://plus.google.com/112406305603089735392/posts/2CAt9PvQ5eD

I'm pleased to announce my first product on DM's Guild, Perilous Places: The King's Mercy. My half of the cover price is being donated to The Alzheimer's Society. Here is the link:: http://www.dmsguild.com/product/202439/Perilous-Places-The-Kings-Mercy Abandon hope all ye who enter! Can you...

5 out of 5 rating for Eyes of the Stone Thief First off, this book is expensive. But I think it is worth every penny. Reading throguh it I got the impression that the author 1) put a *lot* of effort into making a fun campaign, packed with interesting ideas and characters 2) put a lot of effort...

I've been pondering about doing a 4E hack when I've finished my curent project. My aim would be to rewrite player bits only so that I could still use all of my DM stuff. I haven't given it much thought though, apart from a thought about redoing Martial PCs. I was thinking of taking all of the...

5 out of 5 rating for 13th Age Bestiary There is not a word wasted in this book. The introduction tells you what the book is for and gives some advice on how to use the book and build interesting and thematic encounters. Then we get to the meat of the book, the beasts, monsters and villains. As...

How many sessions will you guys be playing for? I ran a one off session of 4E for about 4.5 hours using The Radiant Vessel of Thesk by Shawn Merwin, which can be found at the Living Forgotten Realms Archive. I used monster stats from Threats to the Nentir Vale as replacements for the monsters in...

Yeah, two in Nottingham in the past two weeks! We actually had a D&D tweetup at one of them (The Dice Cup) on the 12th March. I think gaming stores really need to monetize people coming in and playing, whether it be charging them for table space, or selling food and drinks to them. Obviously...

I'd love to see a video of a group playing through a "Skill Challenge done right". Does anybody know if such a video exists?

Hi, I was the author of the Legendary Locations blog posts. Thanks for the kind words, after the morning I had had, it was just the thing I needed to cheer me up. :) A word of warning though, the Midgard Campaign settting isn't for 4E and the articles I wrote referenced the page numbers in the...
