Run the game last weekend and it went great. Couple of things I want to share: * I ended up giving them 5 classic lvl 1 chars, and they worked great. Even I was impressed at all the party could do, even without any utility or magic items. And the players were really impressed as well, some old...

Thanks a lot! I will check it out this weekend.

Sure? I thought the "5 minute" duration was meant so you cannot use encounter powers on more than one encounter unless your DM wants you to by putting an encounter before 5 minutes go by.

I found in other presentation games that having lots of pregen characters enhance the experience a lot. One of the fun parts about RPG is character creation. That is impossible in a presentation game, but having options let the players feel the character more of their own. I have found specially...

The 5-room-dungeon approach is excellent! Thanks a lot! As I said in the OP, I will use the Frostsilver map from GameDay 2007: So, the basic layout could go like this: The Heroes are sent by the king to rescue an important noble (just to not turn it into another princess in distress...)...

I´m afraid I dont know what a Kobayashi Maru is, ad kobolds are fine, but I want more diverse foes. Edit: found it in Wikipedia. No thanks. I don´t see how a no-win scenario, even if simulated, can be good fun for a presentation game. Just my opinion here.

About pregen characters for this one shot presentation adventure: In all the showcase games I run for any RPG, I always create several different characters, fully fledged, for the players to choose at the beggnining. For this game, guessing I will have six players, I was going let them choose...

Remember you are suppose to have an encounter mix of 1 Encounter at Party Level -1 (at first subtract 100 from the XP budget) 3 Encounters + Major Quest at Party Level +0 3 Encounters at Party Level +1 1 Boss Encounter at Party Level +3 Is this a basic layout for an adventure? Is it presented...

Is it possible to edit these mats? Or can someone upload an editable file with them? I would love to translate them to Spanish for my group. EDIT: no idea why this ended like a double post...

Lvl 3 was my second option, yes. I would probably go for that. One thing I forgot to point out is that I don´t have many minis, but I do have a young White and Green Dragon, and I think it will get the players quite excited when I place one on the table after some goblins and skeletons (the...

There is an upcoming games convention in my hometown and I want to run a good sample on what´s new and shiny about D&D 4e. I have some questions to share with you, as this would be my first 4e adventure either as player o DM. (This thread might belong to the fan creation forum, not sure. Feel...

I just barely read over the excerpt: is it possible to fight with a one handed weapon and wield a magical standard with the other?

For a solo game, I would advise on making him a Fighter mc into Wizard, or Paladin mc Warlock, or something like that, and design encounters accordingly. The warrior-mage concept is pretty neat and should let him deal with lots of situation. Make sure he is a defender and add some magic on it...

Thanks for the quick answers! I havenpt realised there is a sample encounter in the GMG (im still going through the PHB). I´ll check it out. ebertran, soy de Nacional. Sos uruguayo? As for char level, 1 seems a bit low because not having utility powers, but lvl 5 seems a bit too much for a...
