Taking your childhood ideas and D&Dizing them is a great way to start out world/game building *virtually high-fives DM Chris*. Good, solid episode. Although it made me want to finish off the Arithmetician Player Class I built and posted on these forums (after evening it out a bit). It also made me want to jump onto roll20 again... if only I could find the time. Thanks for the episode guys! |

  Here are the images of the Spell AOEs I was talking about in the Lightbulb. |

Nice. I've seen people take wire and bend it into the different hex shapes to place it over the mini's, but I think that's much simpler and a lot easier.

Good to see the lightbulb back, I only thought a couple of days ago that I hadn't heard it on the podcast for a while.
did you make AOE's for cone and the other strange AOE shapes?

Nice. I've seen people take wire and bend it into the different hex shapes to place it over the mini's, but I think that's much simpler and a lot easier. I have seen this type for sale, and they seemed nice, but we're pretty expensive. The advantage I can see from the wire ones would be the exact effected squares covered and no half squares. The other would be to potentially slip the wire frame version over the top of the minis. However, these look way cooler, and are way cheaper/easier to make. I'm really excited to see if more material comes out for Roll20 in the near future in terms of modules built, and the SRD integrated. |

I used to make maps in autocad and run it on a tv like a battle map. I could turn off layers to hide things, drop in monsters, move players, and overlay area of effect blocks. It was cool, but it took away the level of involvement with the players of using miniatures and movie themselves around on the board.
As far as creation goes, I have worried in the past about balancing. Personally, I like to build a strong character with only what's published, almost like a challenge or puzzle, so I've never played anything homebrew. But as a dm, I've often combined several concepts into a class or made something unique for my players. Using existing classes as a base or the "build your own class" systems in the unearthed arcana was always a good starting point.

Why was Roll20 made? So they could play 4E together.
Score another for 4E. Hehehe
