Any good D&D novels on audiobook for a twelve hour drive to Gen Con?

Looking for a player in the Bronx area to join our monthly tabletop game. Private house, residental area; plenty of parking. We get together about once a month and play different tabletop games. This month we're playing Sentinels of the Multiverse. If interested, email me at pjrake@gmail.com. -PJ

What good novels are out there to read for inspiration? Just started running some espionage adventures and feel a bit out of the loop after running a fantasy game for so long. PJ

I'm in Port Jefferson recording a new album and just finished tracking and want to visit a local game store. Does anyone know if there's one nearby? Thanks!

Sorry if it's posted in the wrong section; I couldn't find where the Classifieds sections is listed. Selling my whole collection. It's local pickup only in the New York City area (I know there are alot of D&D players here!). My link to the Craig's List post is here, includes TONS of pictures...

I ran an improv fantasy one-shot, and we all had a blast! It looks like the players actually want to continue and possibly turn it into a campaign. Are there any sites, articles, books, etc that focuses specifically on this style of running a game? Maybe you guys can add your experiences...

I'm looking to join a group in NYC. Have car and willing to travel (even to North Jersey or Long Island). If you're looking for a player that's not a rules lawyer (casual player) email me at pjrake@gmail.com or PM me. PJ

Okay, so this weekend my players are going to face a Beholder (the new 9th level one from the Monster Vault), and I wanted to create a scenario where his lair collapses and the players must escape before it completely falls apart. In other words, once he's bloodied, I want to create an "out."...

Looking for casual, mature players to run the new Essentials game, either as a one-shot, or hopefully a running campaign. If you're interested, you can shoot me an email at pjrake@gmail.com. -PJ

I got all the Essentials stuff, including the new DM Screen w/ the updated DC levels. However, I hate that it's so flimsy. And all my PCs are still 4e and not "essentials" so my question is: should I still use the old DM screen or are the updated info (errata, etc) too crucial for the game? -PJ

In the Experience Point Rewards table, it reads, "To calculate the target XP for an encounter of a given level or to calculate the appropriate major quest XP reward for a given level, multiply the XP value shown on the table by the number of player characters in the party." But in the RC under...

The other night in our game an NPC fell into a moat and was trying to swim away. One of the players tried to attack him (he was on land and adjacent to the NPC). He felt that he should have gotten a bonus to his attack since it was difficult to swim and actively defend an attack. I agreed and...

I'm planning on running a really cool encounter involving five 9th level characters facing the new Beholder from the Monster Vault (the 9th level one). Here is a picture of the Beholder's lair. The players will enter from the spiral stairs (on the right side of the image). Other than just...

In the new RC book, it mentions that to identify a rare item you need an Arcana (Hard) check. The DC level comes from the level of the character or the level of the magic item? -PJ

I'm more of an improvised DM, but lately I've been listening to podcasts and reading articles on how to improve as a DM, and many mention that as a DM, you should plan out your sessions well, even if you improvise. So here is a sample encounter regarding Skill Challenge. As I'm planning this...

What is the best way to mark miniatures of the same type? For example, I have five orcs on the field, and I want to know which ones have taken hit points. But with all the conditions, effects, etc I have to keep track off, it's difficult to know which one is which. I remember seeing a special...

How would you handle a player who wants to shoot an arrow and hide behind a tree. Can they move out of concealment, shoot an arrow, and move back into concealment?

A player controlling a Fighter attacked a creature and its effect was to shift the creature 1 square. Is the shift optional? The player was flanking and shifting would have taken the creature out of flank and did not want to do this. I ruled that the Fighter had the option. -PJ

Hi. I'm new to 4E and have a question regarding Encounter powers, and also where to ask my questions. But first, the Encounter power. I know you can only one it once per encounter until you rest, but what if you have more than one Encounter power: can you use both on the same encounter? Last...

Before I ask my question, a quick background... Got out of D&D 3.0 and switched to Savage Worlds. Looked into 4E but felt it was a bit complicated. Now Essentials came out and picked up the Rules Compendium and the Heroes book. I remember how DC table worked previously, but now they have it in...
