Hey all! I'm trying to re-connect with Jason Hawkins who participated in the development of Gamemaster Law as well as participating with the development (cartography primarily) of MERP games. He ran an amazing game known as The Dwarven Company at Gen Con and Origins in the 90's. He also ran...

So, let's pretend for a second that the Facebook game is a preview of 5e. If you'd like to criticize the theory, please go hit the "New Thread" button. I'd like to see what we could learn about D&D and gaming if HoN was a preview of 5e. I've played a character to 10th, so I've seen more than...

Pow! What puts some spice in your characters? I APPLAUD what the designers did in 4e to make the players playable from 1 -30. Amazing! Groundbreaking. An unintended side-effect/consequence. Too vanilla. Largely the same character through the levels, just a few new bells and whistles and...

Greetings! At GenCon this year, I ran a reprisal of the ORIGINAL Tomb of Horrors (Module S1) for my friends. I built it for 17th level, and it ran very, very well using skill challenges and combats. Still very deadly, (six character deaths in two sessions). Most players were not experienced...

Anyone interested in having a business discussion related to Wizards? I would welcome speculation towards the end, but ask that we'd try to keep the opinion to a minimum. It is certainly an interesting time, and there's some real meaty stuff to discuss. From a business perspective, I'd be...

So, I'm wondering if I'm the only one with that itch? 1e, 2e, 3e, 4e...been there, done that. Loved it, by the way. I've had a great time in every edition. I've also got some mad love for Hero Games (particularly Champs), Rolemaster, and my new love: Hackmaster. So, we started up a...

Does anyone know who is hosting this year? Who is coordinating the event? Podcast would like to set up some interviews for this year. Thanks!

When telling the story, using the 4E game rules, how is the game's voice informed by the meta-game considerations? For example, in 1st edition, fighters obtained followers when building a keep at 9th level. In 3rd edition, players were able to consistently and reliably be transported through...

Hey all! First time posting in meta...ooooooo :blush: So, I've got a blog. My third post has like 100 views. (Woot!), and I created a fourth and fifth post (draft) trying to work ahead a little. I can't figure out how to post them. They may even already be posted, with just no views. And...

Maybe someone's covered this some where but I've missed it, and I'm confused. I thought the gist of the GSL was: 1) If you go, your product line can't play in both games (3.5 and 4e) 2) You can't go until October 2008 So, how is Kenzer doing this with Kingdoms of Kalamar? It seems like...

Just got back from Origins 2008. Working with Amorphous Blob Games, we ran over 100 game events, including over 50 RPG events. Our premiere event (The Dance of Halus) was a blast! I got to attend seminars by both D&D luminaries and Guests of Honor: Mike Mearls and Ed Greenwood. It was...

So, the OGL is open, right? Why not take all the best of 4e and convert it for use with the OGL for people who want the best of both 3e and 4e? There's even a template to work from with the Bo9S. Thoughts?

Evil Minions! Everybody needs them, but how do you make them? I'm seeing rules in the DMG for everything but minions. Specifically, I'm trying to have an encounter with Human Bandits Skirmishers (p162) and Human Bandit Minions. Thoughts? Recommendations?

I'll be running a few games at Gen Con, but I've got them registered "the old fashioned way". Here they are: Ultimate XMen vs. Avengers - Fri, 8/15/08, 6pm - RPG00767 (Champions 4th Edition, 400pts) Imprisoned - Sat, 8/16/08, 9am - RPG00768 (D&D 3.5, 17th Level) Nextwave Agents of Hate - Sat...

Amazon Kindle http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000FI73MA/ref=pd_sl_aw_manual-1_kindle1_40650458_3 Very interesting article in this week's Newsweek about the Amazon Kindle, and I couldn't help but picture myself getting one of these ASAP if I found out that Dragon and Dungeon could be...

So, I've got the wizards D&D homepage saved as a favorite, now that with 4E news, and Dungeon, Dragon magazine coming I find myself trolling for info. Today I noticed that WoTC indicated they posted three new modules under the RPGA banner. I went, and saw that I could download dozens of...

This was a fun trip down memory lane... http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=93424&page=1&pp=40 It's still a little early to tell how much was seen, or if any of these ideas were used. Again, many thanks to those that contributed to this thread (one of my favorites) from 2004 and 2005...

I'm at the seminar now, and I'll post my notes in a minute. Live report! Any questions you want me to ask?

Do damage reduction effects stack? For example, Hammer of Moradin has 6/- DR and Armor Specialization from PH2 provides 2/- DR with one type of armor. Does this character have 8/- with their favored armor or would they only get the benefit of the greater of the two? Any rulings would be...

Are there any dragons with earthglide out there? WotC source preferable...
