  • No. There is no place for this sort of thing in 4e. The GM should "wing it".

  • I can see a book like this being useful for others, but I will not buy such a book myself.

The reasons have all been hashed in the edition wars, I guess. To me, 4E really is a different beast. And this is NOT the part of 4E I have a problem with - I kind of like action-focused games.

I'm actually surprised at how many of you have said "no."

I said no because I don't buy things I don't need.

What surprised me was the resistance in the other thread to such a book existing for 4Ed at all.

What surprised me was the resistance in the other thread to take the good advice of other DMs on how to "wing it" instead of waiting for a book that will likely never see print.

Everybody buys things they don't need. If people stopped buying things they didn't need, entire industries would collapse, leading to worldwide economic turmoil, massive joblessness, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

Yeah, think of all the mules that have resorted to crime because they can't find job with adventurers!

I heard they find drug mules at the airport all the time.
 


It sounds like a bad idea to make this its own books. Far too limited in use.

Maybe in another Adventurer's Vault, or in PHB IV.

Once you expand the scope beyond donkeyhorses and iron spikes and go to stuff like stronghold construction and management and large-scale battle/war rules or ship combat, things might be interesting again. These might have a use, since they open up new avenues for play.
 


Man I'm disappointed. I thought this thread was going to be about all kinds of donkeyhorses all the way up to the Warbearing Braybeast, but everyone just wants to talk about books. :(

:D
