Creating Worlds: My First Campaign
Yes, I know, I promised to talk about rules stuff next. Sue me. I'll get around to it, since I've noticed actions that change initiative, not to mention exactly how immediate actions work, tend to confuse even 4e veterans.
Well, to be fair, I've never seen a system where readied actions didn't confuse everyone! I'll expand on that more later. You may have noticed I haven't been as prolific in my writing of late, and the reason is- I didn't have much new to say!
I keep touching on the same points in my editorials, and often, I come off as way too critical- something else I've talked about before. It may seem paradoxical that someone who claims to enjoy gaming nitpicks about it so damn much!
D&D 4E: News from the Front! Part 2 – 4E Mechanics
Cover via Amazon
Now I'm known as a Mechanics guy. What makes a game tick has always fascinated me; I've studied game design and philosophy for some time now. In the beginning, I was a role play over rules guy; my first few games were more 'rule of cool' than anything else. And they quickly spiralled out of control.
I usually give R.J. credit for making me into the gamer I am today; like me, he loves insane, off-the-wall builds. Unlike me, he seems to really enjoy making a DM's head explode (ok, I do too, but I try to harness my darker nature for good!). This usually involves some crazy half-baked plan that has as much to do with rolling a 20 on your 'Fast Talk DM' check as anything else.
Don't get me wrong though, this is your go-to guy if you ever want to kill your party off; he makes the guys at Flying Buffalo (of Grimtooth's Traps infamy) look like choirboys! In his opinion, S1 and S2 are "tame", and he could dream up better death traps in his sleep. I believe it!
My favorite power – Teleportation
Teleportation has long been my favorite superpower and always my favorite thing to do in D&D. As a player, I loved my Assassin's at-will teleportation, stepping into one person's shadow only to appear within my enemies'. My teleporting Swordmage, instantly appearing to smite my marked foe, if he dares to ignore me. And as a DM, nothing messes with your player's well laid plans as a teleporting and phasing Gish Assassin.
Wizards of the Coast has started up a new article series talking about various rules of the game and their first discussion is about Teleportation. It discusses the original rules and the recent rules updates.
If you want to get up to date about the various rules and updates to the teleporting power in D&D check out their new article.
