    Bad experience with a 1st level 4e encounter

    Hi Cordo, I'm a player in the Scales of War campaign as well and that particular room is just poorly designed in my opinion. My GM lets me look at the adventures after we finish and your GM played it as written. There are a lot of things wrong with it but basically your thoughts sum it up...

    Scales of War Journal/Wiki

    The Nexus Sealed We completed Siege at Bordrin's Watch last night (Dec 18, 2008) and I posted the epic tale just now. See Session 16 - Nexus Sealed for details on how young Stultafor Milbegrew saved the entire Elsir Vale with his heroic deeds, learn suprising dwarf traits, more hints to...

    4e modules and lack of empty space

    Empty != Useless I think the issues here really are the style of game your players enjoy and the definition of empty. If your players are a Dice Rolling, Combat Intensive, Kill the Not Us type of group than rooms without combats are a drag. If it is more of a Role Playing, Figure Out the...

    Scales of War Journal/Wiki

    Session 15 Up I posted Session 15 this morning: Dec 13, 2008. http://scalesofwar.wikispaces.com/ We are in full Dungeon Crawl so Stully is struggling to make it interesting. Tom

    Scales of War Journal/Wiki

    Hello Caliber, As a player I can say that we are enjoying it. Our GM has been non-plussed by a number of inconsistencies from module to module. I know there has been a bit of an uproar on the official forum about this sort of thing so you might want to wait until the run is finished and...

    Scales of War Journal/Wiki

    I posted the link to the Journal/Wiki of our Scales of War campaign a while ago but I thought I'd give an update in case anyone wanted to follow along but lost the link. We just finished Session 14 last night and I posted the Journal/Wiki entry this morning. It was almost TPK with two down and...

    What size is your combat grid?

    Tactile We use Tactiles also. At first we laid out a 3x4 grid as suggested above but I've been trying a new technique that seems to work pretty well. I lay out a 3x3 (Combat) grid for individual combat and keep a single tactile (Overview) near me to draw out in very small scale the dungeon or...

    Experience Points and Leveling in an Adventure Path

    Thank You All Hey everyone, I appreciate the advice on this subject. It's a good idea to keep the encounter numbers about the same for an advancement and I do that as best I can. The players are aware of my system of not counting XP but leveling at the appropriate spot so that is not an...

    Experience Points and Leveling in an Adventure Path

    I'm currently a player in the Scales of War and Age of Worms Adventure Paths and running my own game which essentially is an adventure path as well. Both my GMs for the published APs are concerned about the characters being the right levels for the adventures as we get to them. I've also noted...

    Scales of War Chronicles

    I am a player taking part in the Scales of War 4th Edition Adventure Path from Wizards of the Coast and I've created a small Wiki for me, the other players, and the GM. scalesofwar » home We play once a week on Thursday for about 2 - 3 hours so it is a very slow moving campaign. I try to...

    References to Barbarian playtest vanished?

    There is absolute truth to this statement but removing a key article at the last moment is not common. Most magazines publish a preview of the next month's issue at the back of the current month so WotC is not unique to publishing issue information early. I've worked in newspaper publishing...

    Scales of War Outline Revealed

    I couldn't have put it better myself. The fact that they don't even know of the titles of the adventures past #4 is a clue to their haplessness as well. According to WotC, this was put together by Research & Development which is an interesting team to have done it. I would have thought the...

    Sept 2nd News - I wont be doing Scales of War

    Overview I was just directed to this topic although I've contributed to the discussion at WotC. It's nice to see some ideas on both sides of the issue although the rancor is off putting. I'm only a player in this campaign and not a GM so I have not read either of the first two adventures. Much...
