We’re finally back on a regular schedule, and temperatures are beginning to drop into that lovely cool – comfortable range (for about a week, that’s how long fall lasts in Maryland), it’s becoming clear that summer is drawing to a close. Last week Dave asked how many of you partake in the monk-like practice of […]
4th Edition: Paragon Multi-Classing
Last Wednesday I took a more detailed look at heroic tier multi-classing in 4th Edition D&D, which included a fully multi-classed character at 10th level becoming roughly 2/3 primary class and 1/3 secondary class. Quite a lot of discussion surfaced after last week’s post, but one interesting point was made that the power-swap feats feel […]
4th Edition: Playtest a Barbarian
Second Edit: See here for the Barbarian release, no fooling! Edit: It appears Wizards has removed this snippet from the Table of Contents, sorry everyone! The table of contents for Dragon #367 is up, and it looks like we’ll be getting an early look at the Barbarian class from the PHB 2 that won’t be […]
A Closer Look at 4th Edition Multi-Classing
I’ve heard over and over again, from various people, that they feel multi-classing in 4th Edition just isn’t worth it. I even got to the point of asking several of the Wizards staffers if their current games (each staffer seems to be playing in several games of 4e) had any higher level multi-classed characters that […]
Preview: D&D Insider
This afternoon Dave and I had the chance to talk to Randy Buehler and Didier Monin while they showed us some of the D&D Insider features. Dave will be posting an interview that we conducted with Mike Mearls, Scott Rouse, and Randy Buehler which will discuss some of overall aspects of D&D Insider such as […]
Inq. of the Week: Dungeon Crawls?
I’d begun to notice a distinct lack of D&D posts here lately, which was partially orchestrated and partially just because a lot of other news and thoughts came up here, so last week I ventured to ask who would win in a super big monster brawl. It looks like we have a tie!!! The one […]
Inq. of the Week: Monster Brawl
The Dark Knight dominated its second weekend, but who is surprised by that with competition like the way late X-Files movie sequel and Will Ferrell’s latest movie Step Brothers? It raked in $75 million on its second weekend, which is very impressive and left the second place movie way behind at $30 million. Last week […]
D&D 4E: First Major Round of Errata
Wizards has posted errata and updates to the 4th Edition D&D core rulebooks, and there are quite a bit of changes / fixes. Head over to the Wizard’s site and check out the text pdf’s, I’ve printed them out and am wondering how exactly I am going to efficiently going to use them. Some highlights […]
Let’s Talk About Fluff
I was reading through a discussion on Paizo’s message boards that grew out of a post linking to our coverage of the panel with Mike Mearls at Origins, and one discussion in particular caught my eye. Several people began to discuss the amount of content provided in the 4E core books vs. the amount provided […]
4th Edition: Class Acts
In the convoluted web of intrigue that blogs create, Phil (the Chatty DM) led me to a link via a guest post at Geek’s Dream Girl, to a very cool fan-created Bard class for 4th Edition. Unlike some other fan-created classes for the new edition, this one actually boasts a complete list of powers/’sploits from […]
