The floor pack should not be overlooked. Creating freestanding buildings and raised platforms by placing floor tiles on top of walls and corners allows more versatility and visual interest. If you only have the 2" x 2" floor tiles, you are very limited in how you can build vertically without...

Thank you, sir, for lowering the barrier to entry into your addictive and awesome product line. Please, consider adding a 2" x 2" x 2" set of stairs to the Kickstarter stretch goals or to the eventual Game Tiles system. The 3D possibilities for raised daises, multilevel dungeons (using some...

I have wanted Dwarven Forge for about a decade but could never come up with the cash for the 3-4 sets you would need to really build out a 3 encounter dungeon. My gaming group has pooled their cash to buy 5 sets! It will become the core of a great 3D terrain collection. We agonized a bit over...

Uh, did Dave Noonan just give me advice on my campaign? I loved a lot of the 3E and 4E products you worked on for WotC, but I understand that those works are often collaborative. More specifically, the advice you gave on the D&D podcast has become a central pillar of my DM'ing approach to 4E...

Good ideas for overall campaigning, but the real focus is to allow for 3 or 4 decisive battles to be fought out on the battlemat with the PC's and the armies interacting. I am aware that any one of these battles will be the lion's share of our 5-6 hour game sessions. I would include maybe a...

Just had another idea. Wizard, healer, and archer squads have to make a morale check on any melee damage. I am thinking that I can play a lot of the morale checks for melee troops by ear. Do a lot of damage. Check. Impose a powerful condition. Check. Flank a squad. Check. Routed...

I bought and read the Hardboiled Armies supplement that was recommended. There was some good stuff, but the thrust of their concept is to represent armies on a battlegrid as a single miniature. It does not address my need to have two armies and my PC's in the same encounter interacting with...

Can anyone recommend a massed combat system that will integrate into 4E combat? I would like rules for PC's spending actions and using skills to command platoon and company sized groups of soldiers. Ideally the rules will be free and relatively simple while providing enough detail to make...

I have fixed the problem. 4e uses the much simpler system of having a power's level be the level you need to be to use it. Amazing how 8 years of 3e can empty out of your head in 8 months of 4e.

How are we handling the details of combat vis a vis the play by post format? How will we handle battlemats and positions? What about initiative with 4 players posting their actions at different times? Break it down for me.

Will the horses count as allies for the purpose of Martial Spirit?

Yeah, I noticed that too. Uther is providing a bunch of in combat direct healing. I would be buying healing ranks cross class with a 10 wisdom to do anything out of combat. Honestly, it wouldn't fit with the personality of the heartless warband leader to do any more than the Devoted Spirit...

The heavy warhorse costs 400gp so you would be naked and unarmed on top of a cool horse with some shiny hubcaps. Your backstory could include a very recent mugging.

Uther Son-of-Uther Uther Son-of-Uther Appearance Uther is a solidly built, grim-faced man with olive skin, brown eyes, very short black hair, and an equally short beard. He wears a black tunic and cloak. He is never without the bright steel longsword with the star opal in the pommel or the...
