Hello interested parties. @MoutonRustique @Scrivener of Doom @S'mon We commenced the campaign last week with what I call "Opening Credits", a couple hours long session intended to kick the campaign off and give me an idea of where they want to go. In general, I am using Neverdeath as the...

I really appreciate the feedback. We will probably get our first session going in a week or two, but it will mostly be scene setting and the initial few encounters. It will help me define where they want to go first, based on my framework above and the feedback of others - and what the...

We like 4e. We have virtually all the 4e material. We have limited time to invest in learning the new rules (allthough we did make a run at what I believe was the very first play test material) and determined we would keep status quo when the decision whether to move came up. So clearly...

Scrivener of Doom @S'mon Either of you run or use material from Lost Crown of Neverwinter in your campaigns? I do think it is possible an Arc that the group will explore is whether one of them is the true heir. I am thinking of biting the bullet on the paper adventure (maps!). Maybe I...

As stated earlier I will be creating an arc for Herioc tier (plus a level or two if needed). I have minimal time to prepare, let alone the time required to get the group together to play. First the caveat that I am still in the beginning stages of going through the source material. I have now...

So piecing together some wikia and candlekeeper stuff, it seems fair to say she was on the verge of returning circa 1479 but maybe hadn't gotten the job done until a few years later. It is unlikely to make any difference at all to my heroic campaign, but I did wan't to understand if the...

I had the same thought on Kelemvor upon further examination. Consider it done. Thanks and I suspect I will have more ideas/questions.

I am an FR noob. Help me understand the state of things as I begin a brand new Campaign in Neverwinter for my crew. I don't have an axe to grind, I just want to make sure I understand the setting as published because I want to avoid contradictions if I have to research or explain something or...

I will be putting together a short (heroic plus a few levels maybe) campaign that starts in Neverwinter. The Nw setting material is on the way to me. I have and have perused the original FR guides. Before I tackle NW, are there any contradictions I should look out for as I go through the...

Thanks for your feedback MR, but as I said in the OP, "There is, in a general sense, no dis-satisfaction with 4e. We tend to keep toward the heroic tier and enforce some simplification to combat". We are pretty well versed in streamlining 4e and use the well known tweaks to combat as...

Timely. I decided a few hours ago exactly that which you suggest above: Neverwinter as the base start point. I have another 'mega location' or two in mind. I plan to zip them together and remove much/some/TBD of the FR specific stuff. Neverwinter will be at my door in 48 hours. Impulse...

The feedback from all is appreciated. In the interest of limited time, the next campaign-let will be 4e. The group may pick up 5 on the next go 'round in 18 months or so.

Oh, I know. I won't go there so the thread hopefully won't either. ;) This is not one of those threads. You defined my 2 concerns (for my group/instance): So, it sounds to me like, 1) since there is no assumption of a map and 2) the rules are potentially "confusing" it may not be the...

I am fitting the topic here because I suppose it is general enough, but specifically the perspective I am looking for is from those "familiar with" & "with an affinity to" 4e anyway. Please and please, I don't want to start in on an argument about which is superior, "just some facts and...

Thumbs up.
