Dungeons & Dragons 4E. That makes it D&D to me. I only started playing D&D because it was easier to find players. Growing up I played other games and lots of home made games (those were always the best). In the Army, I started playing RPGs with strangers and picked up AD&D. Not a bad game...

Are u Kidding? Name any successful retail store that has video games set up for employees who are on shift? Everyone on this board has retail experience. We shop all of the time, and each one of those experiences help decide where we do our shopping next? Is the store clean? Do I feel...

Lost 3/4 of the party anyway. making new characters and moving on. I figure I will let the players change characters often thru the first 2-3 mods. After that, i will start a campaign and encourage them to start a new character designed for the long hall.

How about a small mirror under the door? I would vote just because you can see something, you do not have line of sight, so I would not allow this to work, but I know some PCs will work very hard to use it. Casting invisibility on a door seems like an interesting idea and a good solution when...

Ouch! That works

I voted Dwarf. Human would be the most effective, but dull. I just like dwarves and because of that I can create many different motivations for such a party. I hate halflings and would just work on killing them all quickly :)

I am glad I read this thread. I too thought CLW was a bit weak, but now I realize, I was short sighted. I know those defenders go through HPs fast and often.

Yup, never used it used it for PCs except for magic where it was build into the rules. Now it is not in the rules. It seems it is just a tool to help players remember to stay focused/consistent- on character behavior

My order is still scheduled for the 10th, but I bought the PHB from my FLGS at list. I figure, it will take me some time to read and make sample characters before I really need the other two. It also gives me some intimate time with the PHB that I probably would not have taken. If I had all...

Yeah, I have not thought about keeping them imprisoned, but then I want them to escape. It is amazing, how much thought has to go into things you took for granted before. Darn rules changes :)

I am glad my wife is a non gamer (but supportive of my gaming), it helps keep me grounded and my nerdom in check. I do admit, sometimes I am jealous, but for me it works. A big benefit with couples that game is you have a good chunk of the group all tied up in one package. It is like a two...

I missed the having to see the destination. Capturing PC's is easy, you might kill one but... Since you don't die unless you go under 0 by your bloodied number, it will be easy to overpower PCs. Just hope that they do not roll 3 bad saves. In KotS, I have 2 captured, one dead and one PC...

I assume PC's with Feystep ability can teleport past all locked doors, walls, vaults etc. This seems to eliminate door traps, locks and other lower level challenges for groups as they can just teleport past them. I guess I just need to re-think security and have more area attacks, and larger...

For each of the classes the rules state two builds the players can follow. Does anyone understand why they are there? I don't see any rules restricting or even setting up character progression through levels, the concepts of the builds are very basic and only take up space in the Players Hand...

I am so glad I do not game with anyone who thinks like this. Lets be serious for a moment shall we. These arguments sound like something a 7th grader wold come up with. A single minion is not a threat to any party so you could not use it. A prisoner is not a threat. A monster beat down to...

They are throw away characters and it allows them to advance faster and expose the players to the new powers faster. In the dragon bones pit, I could have TPK'd my 4 player party and I had only one character survive the Kobold lair and that was after adjusting the kobold lair for the lack of a...

Everyone needs to get away from the boards and play. Running KotS has been a joy. The combats are diverse, the rogue is running all over the place to get the best position, the marking ability, which I first thought was dumb and a pain, has significantly changed momentum of battle and in the...

Not like in 3E. The fighter says, I attack and that was the breadth of his ability. The cleric, was I buff, I buff I buff, I heal, heal, heal.... Every RPG & War game run on a treadmill. How many times do people play the same video game? Run the same course? Run the treadmill? It may be...

This is huge. It allows more casual gamers to play roles other than barbarian and fighter.

If my running of KotS is any example, I will be on more. I had several rules questions and received lots of feedback and came out with a better understanding of the game. As I am introducing 5 (3 of them I just met) players to a new system, i want to represent the best I can.
