Thank god. No one cares about your warlord people. Stop filling my feed with countless threads that all say the same thing!
Can we do this with 'teh railroadz!! No! Teh sandboxx!! ' threads?
Can't have full stat blocks in the adventure. Even minimal ones would eat up pretty serious chunks of page count.
I knock out my own abbreviated versions and keep them handy.
Map and tactical grid is optional, but feasible. We use one for the more dynamic fights but not for all battles.
The rules aren't confusing in the slightest. Particularly for anyone who played an edition other than 4e.
