I was there in May 2009 and it was still doing well-deserved business. :) Enjoy your trip, Erekose and be sure to check the neighbourhood; Parliament Hill is just a few blocks north of the store. They'll also have the Christmas lights up and all over Elgin Street; snow or no snow, it's a...

double post sorry

Azgulor, check Nifft's original post. He isn't arguing that it's railroading at all. EDIT: Sorry, LurkMonkey - I seem to have stepped on your tail...:P

I tend to think you're right about it being NWN-related too. PoLand is too 4e-related and the FR novels at least have a large following outside D&D; they'll want to attract those people to the game, is my guess.

Ravenloft is the 2011 campaign setting - YES!

You might consider Amethyst if you are interested in a mix of fantasy and technology; it's also D&D-based so it would save you and your players learning a new system. It's created by Dias Ex Machina and published by Goodman Games. If you want no fantasy elements at all, please disregard the...

Heaven help me, at 44 I still switch my die once I get two bad rolls in a row...:P

I'm another Gray Box player who enjoys the 4e FR; enough so that I've finally started another online PbP in it. I find this edition brings me back nostalgically to the first. I can appreciate that there are those who enjoy the FR solely for its lore and novels but I've never been one of them.

Psst, you've just been quoted in Dave Noonan's blog: http://forums.gleemax.com/showpost.php?p=13551610&postcount=8 I also agree with you. If a player's done an excellent job in role-playing right before your eyes, then reward him accordingly.

Sorry, I only saw this post after I did mine- very good description! And I agree with you that if it means less powerful spells at higher levels- or less frequent use of them, then so be it.

I prefer changes. Spellcasters are over-powered at higher levels and way too weak at the beginning. If you were trying to roleplay this, would you really take along the newbie wizard without having his more experienced mentor to fall back on? But then I prefer paladins. ;)

Right here, James Wyatt mentions two other classes: duskblade and swordsage. http://forums.gleemax.com/showpost.php?p=13445143&postcount=4 I'm guessing that these are prestige classes/kits/subsets of two other classes. So it's possible that warlord isn't a separate cleric class after all...

Based on James Wyatt's interview: He emphasised the importance of having four core: Fighter, Cleric, Wizard and Rogue. Beyond that, these classes were all mentioned: Fighter Paladin Cleric Warlord Wizard Rogue Ranger Now I've seen the screenshot of the laptop team, which included the...
