I've taken over a local game and switched them to 4e. They've taken to it pretty well. Level 2, here we come! PS

Imx low magic settings with spell casting PCs gives the players enormous power.

I run a goblins game but I just let the players make any race they want and call them goblins (or hobgoblins or bugbears). I'm interested in the fiction of limited races, not the rules

Thaco had the extra problem that it removed the repeat 20s at the top of the chart. Using tables allowed finer control of the probabilities than a formula.

I'm with you on this. I'm running for my son and one of his friends. I'm kind of meh on 5e, because it seems to cover a lot of gaming style I'm no longer really interested in. But those are exactly the things the boys have latched on to. Gonna have to adapt. . . PS

People said the same about 4e, and I still racked up a pretty decent body count. Sure, the cleric can save people, but if there are 3 PCs making death saves when the last foe drops, he might not be able to save them all. PS

Someone here talked about the campaign where another group had a Horn of Valhalla and would use it to summon the players

The first adventure in the Savage Tides path has Sasserine, which is a great city setting. I wish they had done a whole AP there. PS

I thought Sasserine was pretty awesome, and they really should have included ties back to it in the later adventures. Hopefully 5e solves the horrific grapple problem, because were lots of monsters with +40 grapple checks and Improved Grab. I think every single melee character died, including...

I agree that's not what the setting is about, but you can easily make a cyborg/tech game out of Eberron. I've known folks to run a cyberpunk D&D game set in Eberron. There's a lot of different Eberron campaign options - probably more than any other published setting. PS

I grew up in the 1e days (have you looked at the glacial 1e release schedule?). I remember going to the mall and going in Waldenbooks to see the latest D&D books . . . and being disappointed that they were the same books as last time. :D PS

In our case the Disjunction went off at the top of the second round of combat, and ended the session. In addition to the hours of saves and recalculating sheets, my PC lost 1.8 million gp worth of items. Good times, man, good times! PS

. . . check . . . check . . . check . . . check . . . check . . . check . . . check . . . check . . . check Wow. You've perfectly nailed my game group! I run an Eberron game where all the PCs are from the same goblin tribe. Originally their goal was to keep their tribe from being...

If you use the default color scheme the background is black. :D There's a spoiler tag. PS

I've been running a Goblins of Eberron game for years. Every PC is some kind of goblinoid (or close ally). But I let the players pick any race. So one "goblin" is a deep gnome, a "hobgoblin" is a half orc, a "bugbear" is an earth genasi, etc. PS

I also stopped tracking XP. The characters level up when THEY want to. ;D PS

I'm going to do a terrible job of contributing to this thread . . . One of the things I love about 4e is the way it's enforced balance means I don't have to analyze the party's capability to make a fun encounter of whatever difficulty I like. If the party is 12th level, that's all I need to...

I got my set in the first run, and use them constantly. Last Friday was the most recent. :D Love 'em. The original run was solid and well made. By now they're a little scratched and they've taken some permanent marker stains I can't get off. I used to DM at another player's house, and they...

Truly impressive! I love your recaps. 1) This was some seriously epic conflict and 2) how the heck do you keep track of all the stuff that happens?! Whenever I try to tell a game session recap I keep forgetting various parts. PS

Mearls loves dwarves. Always has . . . PS
