I just un-boxed mine yesterday! I'd report that there isn't anything "new" in reference to art or pieces. Seems as if they just recycled some of the more "popular" tiles for redistribution. There are 8 sheets of dungeon tiles and 8 sheets of cavern-like tiles. The one bright spot was the...

I believe the issue is more on the DM-side for the rests. IMO in an hour long rest a lot can happen, but with a few minutes passing it's more "realistic" to think that monsters won't emerge to challenge them all the time. I think a few minutes also doesn't seem to disrupt the flow of the...

I have been playing a "playtest" of the 4.5 Rules shared on this thread. Here are my observations: 1. My players love 4e. 5e is too meh, too simple. 2. The 4.5 conversion has allowed for on average about 20 minutes long combats where the players are all engaged, having fun, and no one seems to...

Just FYI: I followed the link provided, entered my old username and password. I was able to re-establish my DnD Insider account with full access to all components. Thank you!

My group and I have read over your conversion and are very much impressed with what you've done. You have a lot of data and good thoughts. I like that you've opened your ideas up for critical analysis as well. Something I was wondering is that you have these PDFs of 4.5 books. Do you/can you...

You and Tony both said things that resonate with me. I don't really want another 4E clone. What I want is a game that has class balance, cool monsters that are vivid and interesting, and high-level gameplay that is not a headache. I love the idea of level cap at 10. I am concerned that 13A...

My group has been playing 5th since release. We played 4th before that. Loved it, but time is a precious commodity and combat time, higher level option bloat, and Dull magic items made us want something else. Now, 5th, being IMO quick but flat combat-wise has us all looking for options. Is 13th...

I have the pdf with the book coming. Has anyone played with the new classes, backgrounds, virtues, and such? I hoping to get an idea of how combat is effected with no spells, no magic healing, etc. Is there a monster manual? Site says a loremaster book is coming, but not sure when. I assume...

Thanks lowkey! Good ideas. Especially #6.

Help with monsters! My group and I have been playing 5E since its release. The biggest problem I am encountering as the DM is that monsters can't keep pace with PC progress. Example: +4 to hit, 1d6+2 damage versus a 18 AC. That's about a 35% chance to hit, and about 5 points of damage on...

Anyone who still plays 4E converting any of the new 5E adventures to 4E? If so, care to share thoughts and ideas?

So. After a lot of rooting around and some play testing, my group and I have adopted the following house rules: Advantage/disadvantage as in 5e in place of attack modifiers (like marking penalty). All attack encounter powers are reliable unless they have a miss effect. All ongoing is "rider"...

Anyone see or working on a Princes of Apocalypse 4e conversion?

Thanks Obryn! Where did you get your 4e copy?

Would you mind sharing any homebrew rule changes? Also, if you know, where might someone find the offline character builder? Thank you for your response.
