Listener Email: What is that 4E Framework You are Using?

From Listener Elliot:

Hey Chadarius,
 
First, love the podcast.  I've been listening since episode 1 and enjoy your tone and topics every time.  Now, in episode 37 you discuss an add-on or some kind of program where you take a 2 page pdf of your character sheet/monster stats and drag it directly into MapTools, creating macros for each PC/monster power.  We also use the MapTool and I would love to add this to our repetoire.  Can you send me the link where you found this great tool?
 
Anyway, I'm at work so I'll cut this short, but thank you in advance and I look forward to hearing from you.  I may pick your brain further for more MapTool info since you guys seem to have it pretty well nailed down and we are still learning of much of its functionality.
 
Elliot

My reply:

Elliot,

Some thoughts on D&D Essentials

Some thoughts on D&D Essentials -

Since the D&D Essentials line was announced, there has been a lot of speculation that it is meant as a ‘stealth’ edition.  In fact, Bill Slavicsek took the time in his most recent Ampersand column to debunk this concept.  He specifically notes that the Essentials products will be “fully compatible with the rest of the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game.”  and that “The rules of the game are the same as those featured in the Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master's Guide. The presentation is new, rewritten for clarity and friendliness.”

The Final Stage of a RPG Group: Dissolution

The Final Stage of a RPG Group: Dissolution -

I thought I was done with this series when I wrote the last part about RPG group Stagnation, but recent event in my  gaming group lead me to a painful decision and I thought that tackling it as an addendum to the series would be a good idea.

When I discussed a RPG group’s decline, I quoted from Kyle Aaron’s Cheetoism philosophy website where he tackled the decline of a gaming group.  His solution was to get the ball rolling again by sending the group back into the storming stage through one (or several) of the following solutions:
