How much XP did you get?

I participated in the Dark Sun Encounters event Wednesday evening. I was disappointed with the multiple errors on the pre-generated characters. I suppose someone new would not notice, but I kept hearing this from multiple people throughout the night. Our DM really didn't do the best job of...

I played with a guy for awhile that would say, "Was this your card?" after each psionic power he used for like three whole sessions.

1d10, 1d12 if you spend a feat.

Maybe Steve Jobs and his +5 black turtleneck can intimidate them into releasing the books in PDF format to increase Ipad sales. ;)

I like the idea of it in a couple of circumstances. Said preparation allows you to scale the difficulty up a little. or Time spent on undergoing additional training uses up valuable time as a resource; when the clock is ticking or there is an event that the PC's know about this kind of thing...

There are probably better game systems out there for this kind of thing.

You can negate the movement penalty by casting the ritual Tenser's Floating Jazzy.

Per RAW no problem at all. If it is insisted that the magical fire would melt the magical ice, you could just say it is one large area of steam, and those starting in/adjacent to the steam take damage from both the Wall of Ice and Wall of Fire effect. The downside is that the Wall of Ice is no...

New Setting I am pretty confident that they will come up with a new setting. Ravenloft is too convenient for online articles with its "one domain per article" construction process, and it's been mentioned in the Manual of the Planes.

Yeah, my 4E DMing experience is limited to RPGA, where I need to go by the book, so to speak. I hope to do a campaign later this year, and I think the approach I'll be taking is describing the traits of the creatures in general, but not going into specifics. i.e. You know the medusa has a gaze...

Creatures This is basically the only thing I really dislike a great deal about 4th Edition. I don't like it when play grinds to a halt as the DM reads off a laundry list of powers that only some people are even paying attention to.

Kalak Dead and Tyr Freed It is really important to beginner campaigns IMO that Tyr is free, it will provide a solid starting location. I played Dark Sun Online years and years ago on TEN and the setting of that game was Tyr following its liberation. Tons of opportunity for adventure.

Also, in my experience, players lie more than numbers do.

The saving throw of 4E serves a different mechanic than in 3E. The 4E saving throw is used to determine the length of time that an effect lasts. It is also used to keep a player engaged each turn by having something to roll. Should you make power durations longer for monsters or PC's? No...
