This one is mainly for pemerton, but others may find value in it as well. He (I think?) asked for details on a game I mentioned running that had apocalyptic themes and dealt with fate, and I'm happy to share, but this game has a lot of background, and I didn't want to clutter the initial thread...

I've gotten quite used to using the wonderful resource, known as power2ool, to run and play in 4e games. Unfortunately, the web-based application at www.power2ool.com has gone dark. I keep getting a "connection refused" error, as does everyone in my local group. The guy responsible has not...

Well, here we are. The last one. This was pretty much the only thing besides Dragon and Dungeon that I even go to the D&D website for these days. I'm going to miss this column. On a positive note, this new campaign sounds like a lot of fun (and certainly makes me more keen on trying Next than...

At the request of @Storminator , I am starting this thread to post about the houserules I am experimenting with in my current games of 4th edition. Comments, constructive criticisms, and suggestions are welcome :) This is something that arose out of the excellent thread on Pemertonian Scene...

Is it wrong that I thought the ToC for these looked better on April 1st? Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Table of Contents (Dragon #410 Table of Contents) vs Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Table of Contents (Dragon #410 Table of Contents) and...

I was prepping for my next session today, and when I loaded up power2ool, I noticed that one of my monsters' stat blocks was not loading. I checked it against my notes, and sure enough, it was the cave troll. I checked the compendium. No dice. So, anyone know what happened to it? Did they just...

This is driving me crazy - does anyone know where all the maps from Dungeon 198 are from? I recognize the Suzail one and the Cormyrean court ones, and the ones from Warrens of the Stone Giant Thane, but what is the Little Silver Keep map from? And those random caves? I've looked and looked, and...

Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (December Rules Updates) Ruels updates are out for November & December. Highlights include finally bringing Versatile Expertise, and the vanilla Weapon and Implement Expertises into line with the others (+1 at 11 and 21 instead...

Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (Paragons of Fey Valor) Nice work, Mr. Pozas! Both the art and the PPs. Always a pleasure to read one of your articles. :) The first would be great for a Valorous Bard, Paladin/Cavalier, or even a Fey Hexblade. I mean, it could...

I realize that things have been moved around and that this is the place for houserules these days, that's fine. But are the old threads from the other subforum still available or archived somewhere? I can't search, and manually looking isn't getting me anywhere (since I can't remember exactly...

I'm Running Reavers (sort of) I'll preface this by saying that this is a looooooong post. You've been warned. :) After receiving the DM's kit, I began a new campaign with the intent of running the included adventure, Reavers of Harkenwold. I have a homebrew setting, and rather than write a...

Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (The Witch) Check it out.

Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (Fringes of Kara-Tur) The latest themes article is up, and I have a few thoughts on it. First, I notice that the skill bonuses are typed now, which is a step in the right direction to getting the ridiculous power creep under...

Like the title says; Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (October: In the Works) Big news (for me) is previews of the Pixie race (squee!) and Witch (*sigh* Yet Another Arcane Controller). The Witch appears to be Wizard-based, which is good, since this reduces option...

Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (Very Perceptive) Monte Cook takes over from Mike Mearls in this column. He basically introduces himself, then talks again about the skill resolution system he came up with and gave to Mearls to share, this time focusing on...

...or is Mordenkainen's Magnificent Emporium the best thing to happen to 4e since, well, pretty much since 4e? I just had a chance to flip through it today, and wow, I'm impressed. Items with flavour and crunch. Flails finally get support. Henchmen get made into actual rules. Quick rules for...

Well, the article has been posted, but the link to the PDF appears to be broken. :/ Nice to see more support for an overlooked class though.

The TOC for both Dragon 403 and Dungeon 194 are up. Dragon highlights include rules for 0-level characters, Artificers in the FR, and support for Starlocks. Dungeon has, besides the usual setting fluff, an adventure for 0-level characters to accompany the rules in Dragon, another heroic...

Here it is: Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (Tools of Two Trades) Some are decent. Most are ranging from 'meh' to 'terrible' mechanically, or are overly narrow in appeal. We have until September 19 to make them understand that.

In this week's Legends and Lore column, @mearls says something about there being an announcement of a D&D branded skirmish game next year. Did I miss something or was this possibly the "cancelled announcement" that I've seen posted about on here? EDIT: 1,000th post ;)
