Hey team, It's been awhile, but I'm starting to sell off my excess collection. For those that know me, this could end up being an epic dragon's trove. It's going to take a long time to get most of my excess stuff up, but it should be a doozy. I'll kick things off nice and easy, but will try to...

A heartfelt thank you to all ENWorld members that are serving, or have served.

A millennia-spanning, strategic tabletop roleplaying game from industry award-winning designers Brian R. James and Matt James. Join us in designing a tabletop roleplaying experience that you've never seen before! RED AEGIS is an alternative take on the traditional roleplaying game. This is...

My buddy came up with this bolt-on cap system that would work in any edition. It is surprisingly fun and an interesting thing you can add to your game. Adjust as necessary and have fun. http://www.loremaster.org/content.php?287-Rotting-Toes-An-Orcish-Dice-Game

We'll be filming at Winter Fantasy next week. Two things: (1) Other than some form of news coverage, we'll be focusing on the convention, staff, and events. If you're going to be in attendance and would like to help out in some fashion, we can always use some extra hands--or use you for...

I just got back from Gen Con and wanted to give a huge thanks to EN World and fans for generously awarding the Monster Vault: Threats to the Nentir Vale with a Silver ENnie. This community has been a very crucial part of my development as a game designer, and I have always cherished the honest...

My attorney, and fellow super-geek, has put up a new article as it pertains to the D&D Next Online Playtest agreement. It's a very good read and probably one of his best articles. As he specializes in intellectual property, copyrights, patents, trademarks, and the like, it is pretty well...

I just wrote this piece up for my site, but I think it bears sharing. I think there is a really golden opportunity that WotC could seize on, and that is opening up DDI content to all editions. You'll also note that I am upfront and honest in that I am not qualified to even evaluate the validity...

The Lair Assault I designed is out and I wanted to see who has played it. Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Event (D&D Lair Assault)

You have until 11:59 EST to post a picture of you in the ugliest Christmas sweater you can get ahold of. Make sure to add something like "EN World Ugly Christmas Sweater" in the photo so we know you didn't grab it from the interwebs. We'll vote on the ugliest and I will send the winner a copy...

I put up a post on D&D's official blog and I wanted to share it. It is applicable to more than just D&D 4e and I hope it helps DMs in developing their next campaign or adventure. Whoops! Browser Settings Incompatible I wanted to extrapolate more on the process in the blog, but I didn't want to...

Does anyone have a link (or otherwise) to a 2e quick reference sheet? I'm looking for a bare-bones breakdown that I can use for some future projects.

How do I turn off the ads if I am a community supporter?

My attorney, Rob Bodine, is a big nerd like myself. He helps to run big conventions and even host the synDCon convention here in DC. He also just happens to be an IP attorney by trade (which is great for my line of work as a game designer!). This is his latest article. If you're interested in...

What other sourcebooks that support PFRPG should I look into picking up? I have some PDFs here and there but is there anything that people picked up and now say "damn, that is a must-have!"?

I'm curious and wanted to start a discussion about rewarding roleplaying. I wanted to do a bit of an unscientific examination. Whether a DM or a player, do you manage/appreciate non-combat based rewards? All things being equal, do you reward players at your table for roleplaying? If so, how? Do...

Yikes! Loremaster - Bill Slavicsek leaves WotC

I just drafted an article on game design in relation to character themes. In it, I explain my reasoning on how the game could have corrected any math issues, maintained support for legacy 4e classes, and introduce new ones (i.e. Essentials) instead. Loremaster - Game Design: Foundational Layers...

I prodded Weem to make a cool icon to help and poke fun at the 'edition wars'. It's also a half-throwback to Firefly and the battle of Serenity Valley. As a consumer of each product and company, I thought it was funny. And yes, this post is just so I can check it out myself----live. :cool:

Can someone help me with this, and include a citation from the rules? I thought that you could stack untyped ongoing damage. Page 224 of the Rules Compendium seems to contradict itself. Read the Different Types of Ongoing Damage section, then the Same Type of Ongoing Damage. I'm reiterating...
