I'm surprised this thread made it to page 5 since the main remaining participants repeated themselves for two additional pages after page 3. Good job guys!

OK, so the investment world is upside-down and I'm scouring various stocks for opportunities. So I wonder, what level is HASbro trading and what have they said publicly about the financial success/failure of 4th Edition D&D? I read the quarterly earnings transcript of 7/21/2008 for Hasbro...

cool stuff *bumpity*

LOVE THE CARDS! My suggestion would be to include page ranges for the classes, magic items, etc, so if folks need to print a select few extras, it is easy for them to do so. Could put in the notepad file (ie, "Cleric 20-50" or whatnot) Thank you very much!

some of the earlier posters to this thread pissed me off honestly. I'm over it now. You read WAY to much into Mearls post. You took it to imply some thing he never said, AND THEN you took it two steps further. Mearls is a good chunk of the reason why 4E is so enjoyable. He really...

The character stealthing behind an ally (by bending the rules) is trying to be the attacker. Cover for allies has to do with being the target or defender, not being the attacker.

Come on Kobu. The character trying to stealth is the attacker. Its very relevant.

Game designers design games for a living 24x7. Doctors give medical insights, lawyers give legal advice; it's the same for game designers. If they aren't an authority, then who is? Certainly not any grognard. If their game design works and is superior for many to 3.5, then why fight it...

Allies do not grant cover for any of YOUR attacks, ranged or otherwise! Allies grant cover if you are the TARGET not the ATTACKER. 4E are exceptions-based rules. They are plain-as-day. ALSO, I'm sure sure who all realizes this yet. Stealth, by default, does not allow characters to move...

Some of the encounters for the adventure are just way too hard, so I would edit them. the encounter was almost a TPK for 5 1st-level characters, so I wouldn't be ADDING monsters. The encounter was way too tough for a 1st level group. It was basically a double encounter! N+5 is stupid, unless...

That's quite an accomplishment to produce that! For a hybrid druid, this looks reasonable. Not sure about the level 1st-will that allows double damage against repeat targets... I guess it needs testing. Not sure where you saw that druid would be hybrid class since in the preview book (Races...

Wolfgang's Other Stuff He's written for Malhavoc Press, though not adventures. He also wrote Fortress of the Stone Giants (Pathfinder adventure #4) which is an excellent adventure. Though I haven't seen Empire of the Ghouls (which was an Open Design adventure), the description of the aspects...

1) 4E is more minis-centric, but it isn't necessarily a bad thing. combat has more positional and positioning powers, so you kinda have to represent battles on a grid. I think the adventure was written to be somewhat accomodative of newbie or newer DMs, so I think this is why things are...

I think you answered your own question... So rings were probably more powerful when the rumor (?) of ring level limit came out, and then they decided to strip off the level limit and also nerfed the rings before release of the books? Just guessing.

I have to agree with Blackbrrd, You either want Str + Wis or Cha + Wis. Having high str & high cha is a waste. Very seldomly does it look like you need both high str and high cha in terms of paladin powers. Wisdom does matter with powers that key off of Str or Cha, however single powers...

Monsters are allowed to be badass as well. 2 monsters have it... So are you one of those people who goes to a movie and don't like it because of who they cast as extras? Just seems very nitpicky... What's a big issue for you with 4E? Love it? Hate it? Not sure?

Interview is up on 4ereviews.com. Thanks folks.

4ereviews.com interviewed Wolfgang Baur about Open Design, 4th Edition D&D, Kobold Quarterly, GenCon 2008, and War of the Burning Sky. interview snippet: When asked If RPG publishers must choose between either 4E or d20, which way do you envision Open Design going? Wolfgang replied: "I'm...

FEAR: Combat does not actually run faster. REALITY: Sweet spot of 3.5 is mid-levels, all of 4E will now play like mid-level game. Epic will not be complicated, just similar yet more powerful. FEAR: Tracking all the different marks, Tracking all the delayed saving throws and delayed effects...

Hey Chris, I JUST ran 4E-ish Return of Burning Plague for my Tuesday group and they enjoyed it a lot. Thank you very much. I may do a write-up/review of the experience and if I do I will be sure to let you know. And thanks to Memnaelar as well! It's cool to experience ourselves as creative...
