It still is here, as well as Volo's Guide to the North. ;)

I never quite understood why people slam railroading as if it's some cardinal sin in gaming or a violation of the Fifth Amendment. ;) Personally, all the great CRPGs I played were the ones that were railroaded rather than the ones that gave you a sandbox and it is something I try to emulate in...

YouTube - The Gamers (Part 4 of 5) I understand where Chris seems to be coming from and I do agree about the 'swingyness' of the d20 (e.g, the iron bars scene in the video above) that sometimes just seems to award pure chance than proper character building. I think it's fair to use d20 for...

3-5 a session ;) I know it sounds arbitrary but it feels like a good number. *looks at poll choices and can't make up his mind* :eek:

If I ever used this idea, I would like to have one DM to run the roleplaying and the other running the combat. ;)

That's the way how I envision 4E combat, in fact I would say that 4E isn't more like MMORPGs than this genre of turn-based JRPGs.

Let's see, I've had players cut them up for trail rations, chopped heads, ears for war trophies, pissed on their corpses especially for foes they really hate and even setting up camp wherever they just slain a bunch of enemies. Never have I seen them honorably bury them. (So far they haven't...

I'm planning a sandbox set in pre-Spellplague Silver Marches and maybe someday I get to run a campaign in Golarion. ;)

Interesting thread. I am planning to create a sandbox campaign based on the same region (Silver Marches and by extension the rest of the North) with the same rules. ;) Just to make sure, are you running pre- or post- Spellplague? ;)

I got level drained down to 0 and even a true resurrection can't save me. :eek:

The time spent in those wars before realizing that it was all for nothing. ;)

Forgotten Realms, Eberron and still finding time to dig into Golarion. ;)

All of the above I say. ;)

Agreed but then again it gives me a reason not to be sad if I didn't join the competition anyway. ;)

I agree with sticking to 4E and buying the 3.x Player's Guide. Some other 3.x supplements that I would highly recommend for their fluff is Sharn and Five Nations. Forge of War if you are interested in running a campaign during the Last War. ;)

Yeah, I started this thread thinking that it might be a little difficult to convert the 4E mechanics to fit with pre-Spellplague realmslore. It seems that I was wrong and it is quite easy in fact. The reason why I'm more interested in pre-Spellplague FR is because I'm more invested in that era...

After flipping through the 4E FR Player's Guide, I feel that most of the mechanical work has already been done and are usable during the pre-Spellplague era. I also think that they are some core 4E mechanics has already emulated what can be done in 3.x FR but just requires a few renaming. So...

Nice to see that it has been done before and I'm believing that pre-Spellplague FR might be enhanced with the 4E mechanics. ;)

My players enjoy 4E very much and I prefer the setting during pre-Spellplague, so I wanted to try and get the best of both worlds. In terms of experience, my players aren't very well versed in the setting but I try to be as consistent as I can with realmslore of that era.

I think Eladrin fits the bill of being a Sun Elf so a simple rename could work for me. My initial plan was to only use the races available in the 4E core rulebooks and not introduce any 'sub-races' but I think they could be done with simple modifications to their racial ability bonus. A simple...
