i.e. the adventure from the Essentials DM's Kit. Has anyone run this or played it? I'm thinking of running it for my group, and wanted to know if anyone had any advice, reviews, good experiences, bad experiences, things you had to change, etc.

Nobody is less happy with the direction WotC is going than me, and unless things are fixed with the CB, Monster Builder, and online content, I certainly will be canceling my DDI subscription when it runs out. Looking at their print content, I only see two books that I have any interest in this...

Yes. If you scale a monster up a level, they're worth the XP of a monster that level. A first level monster (100 xp) scaled up to level 2 would now be worth 125 xp.

I need help! I'm running a mini-campaign using the Inherent Bonus rules, which frees me up from having to hand out too many magic items. In fact, I plan on handing out one magic item per player (the campaign is only going to cover a few levels). My problem is, I've never been particularly...

Here's a question: Are the tokens for creature's who've already appeared in the DM Boxed set identical? In other words, are the goblins, orcs, etc in the Monster Vault the same illustrations as the Goblins, Orcs, etc in the DM box? I would love if they were different, as having two groups of...

That is weird. I haven't seen many effect lines that fall between the attack and the hit lines. It's a pretty badly-written power. From the flavor text (which I realize doesn't have any actual bearing) you can tell the intent was to knock people down and then stab them (presumably with combat...

As was already said, it really only became broken with the release of the new MBA-based classes in Essentials. Using the Slayer as an example, for the price of one feat (melee training) you could make a Slayer with a 20 Dex. This gives you a melee basic attack that does [W] + 10 damage every...

So as of today, having seen the Slayer Fighter build, it's become apparent that one of the things that is now possible with the new policy towards class design is having different subclasses take different roles within the same class, the example so far being Fighters either taking Defender or...

We actually have enough players now. I'll repost and contact you if someone falls through. Thanks :)

Awesome! You can post character sheets up on the Google group in the discussion forum. Looking forward to seeing what you have. It is a city campaign (although there will probably be trips into the wilderness surrounding the city at a couple of points, the majority of the campaign will take...

I'm looking to run a D&D 4E mini-campaign using Maptools and Skype. It'll be one longish adventure that will take characters from 6th level through 8th (or maybe 9th) and last approximately 12-15 sessions. I'd like to play weekly, for 3-4 hours a session. I live in the Central U.S. time zone...
