Looks great! Very good back story. Don't forget magic items. You get one 4th level, one 3rd level, one 2nd level and 520 gp to spend on magic items, potions or other equipment.

No sir. It is outside the auspices of the RPGA. It does not require RPGA legal characters. Look forward to talking with you Sunday Thalmin!

Nope. Even feel free to use the playtest classes from DDI. The adventure is a dungeon crawl through the ruins of castle near a coastal city. The setting is my own (very slightly) tweaked version of the default POL setting from the DMG.

Feel free to bring your own 3rd-level character or just use one of the pregens I will be bringing. I will try and post the pregens on my blog by Friday sometime...

I am going to be running a one-shot 4th Edition D&D game at 2:00 PM this Sunday (February 22nd) at Games Plus in Mount Prospect, IL. The format is a 'delve style' adventure for a party of 3rd-level characters. I can run multiple sessions if I get a big group. I will have six pregens available...

I came by the last Chicago Gameday but did not play. This will be my first one to actually run a game in. I am a DM with lots of experience (25+ years) though and I'm having lots of fun with 4E. I just want to run a light-hearted event and I didn't know if I could do so under the auspices of...

Chicago Games Day Slot: Morning System: D&D 4E Title: The Ruins of Castle Grayrock Summary: This is a delve-style adventure for up to 6 9th-level PCs. Kick in the door and bash your way through the ruins of Castle Grayrock. The goal is to have fun, kill monsters and take their stuff... DM...

Has anyone else been prompted to complete a survey when visiting the Wizards website? I completed one yesterday. I wish I had copied off the quesstions. I was particularly amused by the one about whether or not I 'trusted Wizards to deliver digital content in a timely manner' or something...

Did anyone else read the transcript of the Hasbro Q4 report? I was trying to gleen any info about WotC, but I couldn't find much. That was some mention of DDI and something about constraining 'incremental spending' but that was about it. If you did read it or even listen to the conference...

Thanks for the kind words. I will try and check some of these books out! I hope you will continue to follow my lblog. The next post in the series should go up tomorrow and I will continue to post AT LEAST twice a week (and hopefully more).

Good points here! I have just started a news series on my blog where I am designing a campaign setting from scratch. I will definitely take these points into account.

Consider this post permalinked and this idea permastolen! :)

Thanks! TM13...now I know!

I just downloaded the Gazetteer of the Known Realms and I am trying to locate the map for the Kingdom of Morrain. Does anyone know which map it is on? I hate to click through 25 maps - urggh.

BINGO. That's a perfect way to put it. In the olden days, you ever prepped and ignored or suffered the consequences. It's almost a version of a save-or-die mechanic. I don't think that a system that depends heavily on the ability of players to memorize the rules for prepping and dealing with...

I can certainly sympathize with that view and many of the older guys that I play with would certainly agree. Their idea of 'mastering' the game involves knowing that they should pack their Helm of Kick-Ass Intellect or whatever when they go Astral so they can move at lightspeed... However, as...

If you are looking for a pretty generic set, make sure to check out DT6: Dire Tombs. Other than the tiles having a yellow/brownish cast that most other sets don't, the tiles are pretty useful and I like the angled corridors.

I guess I was speaking more about 4E vs. 1E rather than 4E vs. 3E in terms of complexity...

I am going to post the following on my blog as well, but since it is not exactly widely read (yet) I decided to post it here as well so a few more eyes would see it... I often hear the cry from D&D grognards that the new versions of the game are 'too complex' or have 'too many rules'. The game...

Cool. That's what I thought but I wanted to be sure. The authors could have worded the class feature a little more clearly though...:-S
