I've posted a PDF over on my blog for those of you that will be running the next season of D&D Encounters next week. It's a game aid I like to use when DMing, providing an easy-to-use format for tracking hit points and recording whether limited-use powers have been used without requiring you to mark up your adventure book.

My love of the FASA Star Trek RPG gave me an idea on how to handle certain situations that I’ve seen before and believe to be handled less-than-ideally by DMs. I ran a quick Google check to see if anyone had already written about this topic, and apparently they haven’t.

The primary mechanical reason I believe D&D Next will not serve the 4e segment of the community is that the base system is essentially
For the past several years, many of us in the 4th edition camp have been complaining about the edition warriors that railed against the announcement of 4th edition. These people complained about 4th edition before they had even seen it, thus demonstrating that they'll always complain unless they get exactly what they want, and often what they want has nothing to do with game mechanics. Now, we find ourselves potentially in the same position, having many legitimate complaints against D&D Next.
