Sly Flourish on the Tome Show 124

January 23rd, 2010 by Mike Shea

I had the wonderful opportunity to join Jeff Greiner (aka, @Squach) on the Tome Show 124, released last night. Jeff and I talk in detail about the Foulspawn Seer / Foulspawn Mangler monster optimization I’ll post this Monday, building it into a full encounter that is sure to challenge a properly balanced party.

We also talk about cooperative storytelling, something I will likely write more about in the future.

As always, it was great to be on the show and I hope to be there again soon.

I love the foulspawn seer. One of my favorite monsters, so I can’t wait to see what you came up with…

#dnd tip: Making an enounter more WoW-like isn't always a bad thing. A lot of designers spent time on those battles.

Received the Death Dealer 4e adventure: http://bit.ly/cTyqKO The critical hit tables alone are pretty cool. Hope to run it soon. #dnd

Really enjoyed the @newbiedm's first Minicast on passive perception use: http://bit.ly/d5SwPm #dnd

@Trevor_WotC Thanks for the plug! Improved Mindflayers coming on Thursday! http://bit.ly/9I770e

#dnd tip: Powerful Solos should have some interesting effect when they become bloodied. Earthquakes, avalanches, or tidal waves of fire!

Bought two copies of the Harrowing Halls #dnd tiles: http://bit.ly/b7tybC - they look pretty cool in action: http://yfrog.com/jy67698331j

@wilw There are far worse ways to spend a weekend than building a #dnd game!

Wanted to repost the release of my most recent D&D DM Tip Video: Building A Portal Prop: http://goo.gl/fb/r60l

#dnd tip: Every magic weapon should have a cool name and at least a sentence or two of background. Where did it come from?

#dnd tip: You don't have to use D&D minis. Wacraft minis and McFarlane Toys can work just fine in many circumstances.

@gamefiend take some pics of the 3d terrain!

#dnd tip: Don't try to force your game to be a certain way. If you're group is out for a laughing good time, make it so.
