Designing a wow campaign

[Pwn3r3r]

I'm new to this site, and after reading some of the posts in this particular forum I think this is likely the best place for me to look for a bit of help/advice/direction.

I have been playing DnD for a few years now and had the idea to start a WoW campaign using the 4e rules. 4e is new to me and my fellow players, and I think a WoW campaign would be a great way to start us out. My only issue is the lack of 4e content that relates to the game.

I have purchased both 3e d&d WoW books, and have gotten a ton of info from them. I'm just trying find a bit more.

So basically what I guess I'm asking is if anyone knows of any WoW 4e D&D content that I could sink my teeth into and use for this campaign.

And I apologize if this is the wrong forum for me to be posting this in.

Welcome!

Only one recent thread comes to mind, though I've no doubt there's more out there:

Thanks! Yea, I've looked that one over, and it seems to be some very interesting ideas. I didn't want to have specific types of quests, but treat it more like a traditional campaign where the group is brought together by a high powered individual and asked to perform certain tasks. I guess in a way it is similar to accepting a quest in game.

The crafting section did give me some ideas for ways to incorporate that into the game. But that'll be a later project.

I appreciate you taking the time to find that page and post it for me tho!!

Since recently there seems to be an increased amount of people interested in a WoW variant of 4e, it might be nice to either create a thread to give ideas about the subject or some sort of wiki page.

Thanks Xphile! The direction your going with the races is a good one, just need to fill in the powers.

Oh, as a side note. Maybe add a racial power to humans called "Improved perception" or something along those lines. Daily power, +5 to perception rolls against sneaking opponents?
