The PCs are hired by a mysterious man named Alexander Koch to coerce the inhabitants of a small village into leaving. Alexander doesn’t care how the PCs do it, just so long as they don’t bring too much attention down on the village. In particular, if they kill too many people the guard of the [...]
One of the great things about 4th edition is that creating a monster is a fairly simple process. You follow a few formulas, look up on some tables to figure out how much damage it should do, and then come up with abilities you like.
Unfortunately, those formulas and tables can be a bit tedious… but [...]

Offer some more bounties, too. For example, if the kobold shamans all wear necklaces of [...]
I’m pleased to announce the first version of my 4th Edition Random Encounter Generator.
Currently, it creates a level-appropriate encounter at random. Although the monsters are selected entirely at random (for example, it might team up a a Githyanki and a Githzerai if both are in the level range), it does try to choose an appropriate [...]
The PCs come a long a man laying in the road. An arrow is sticking out of his neck, and a thick, white goo covers the lower half of his head (including mouth and nose) as well as his shoulders. His hands are stuck to his face, as if he was trying to tear the [...]
