Chris Thomasson on his Playtest

Scholar & Brutalman · Oct 25, 2007

Chris Thomasson has a post up on Gleemax talking about his 4e playtest. I think the most interesting comment is:

Character creation is more complex in some ways, but much simpler in others. All in all, I think it takes about the same amount of time to make a 4th Edition character as a 3E character, faster if you have someone to help walk you through.

It also sounds like this playtest is just running the pregen characters through a series of standard fights more than a module. I don't know if these are the same playtest characters sent to the external playtesters though.

But I saw some art for an upcoming adventure en***led "The Last Breaths of Ashenport," by Ari Marmell, yesterday...

En***led?!

That sounds like the word filters at Gleemax needs some more work.

No

allowed at Gleemax?

That's a deal-breaker.

I read the column and he was able to use "hardass" and "crap." Weird. At least its the alpha test.

This is some of the coolest art I've seen in any product produced for D&D.

Oooo so close. A WotC staffer managed to go seven paragraphs telling us about 4e without describing something as "cool" in a slack-jawed stoner-like fashion, then fumbled in the end zone, a mere couple of sentences from touchdown.

Seriously. Cool is so anime.

(However, in fairness, this is for a 3.5 adventure.
