Well you can let them pick up their own small quests / motivations. And give the Party XP for fulfilling them. That is even in the DMG in 4E having small and big quests. And small quests are perfectly useable for something like this.

Actually no, at least not in WoW during its prime. This is not what the fun of (these kind of) MMOs is about. And thats also why I dont think MMOs and 4E are anywhere close. In MMOs it is about having a good strategy and executing it, while reacting to dangers (evade attacks). There is no...

I ignore (once again) the try of people completly sidetracking the discussion. So instead I want to answer the question about what I would do different in a 4E revised: 4E Revised part 1: Streamlining: I know some people will not like some of these things but they make the game easier to...

Well even if this was the case. If he would have had any knowledge in game design or done his research before he should have known and not said this. (Its not like he did create D&D related content before). Also as a journalist you never should go "everyone knows that X" since that is quite...

No its exactly the opposite of the point you are making. I also edited in a bit more context. 13th age has not 9 levelups it has more like 36 because people like level ups. Also having a less steap power progression in 4E is great, because you can, compared to PF2, use a wider range of...

13th age has MID LEVEL progression. splitting the 9 levels gained up into 4 sublevels. In one you gain a feat, in 1 you gain an ability in 1 you gain hp progression and in the last you gain everything else. The progression also is 2 times as steap as 4E and HP and damage gain per level is way...

I only ever saw this from him: D&D 4E - The D&D 4th edition Rennaissaince: A look into the history of the edition, its flaws and its merits But honestly that was enough to never take anything serious that guy will say or ever said. Not only was it extremly disrespectfull towards the people...

Wow so funny. Because it is so fun when people are just allowed to present facts which are knowlingly false. Well this "common house rule" was originally coming from an article "how to play 4E during lunch break". And the "half monster HPs" was mostly brought up by people who did not play 4E to...

Well several people came by and posted some old long disproven/straight out wrong things which felt pretty unneeded and did not add anything to the discussion at all. Tons of sidetrack on people just needing to say how much of a failure they think 4E was etc. This is on top of the article...

Well I may just not understand this "being a fan" thing in the first place. Or following a brand, especially when you can just still play the old thing. There are so many things I stopped playing eating etc. after it changed. But I also never considered me a "fan" of anything. Find the...

if it was branded D&D tactics it would never reached the same sales numbers. This is just not feasible to have more than 1 edition at the time and non main line products just never sell as much as mainline products. Even the final fantasy MMOs are numbered like main line final fantasy games for...

About Orcus: It is fully compatible with D&D 4E if you ignore character themes (or house rule them) Themes in orcus costs you feat (are not on top of power level), but as said this can be easily houseruled Orcus had to change some words, but has all the mechanics needed for 4e mechanics (at...

How does in other editions like 5E divine classes be different from arcane classes? For me wizard and cleric always felt not thaat different. Both are just casters, just with different spell lists. Often with overlapping spells When you compare pre essential (there class structures in general...

I think it is much easier than this. He looked mostly at PHB1 sales for the different edition. And he states that "Riggs noted that the 4E PHB sold far less than the 3E PHBs". What happened here is just that 3E PHB1 and 3.5 PHB1 are counted together. This is exactly the point I saw elsewhere...

Well 4E is still a lot more modern D&D than 5.24 5.24 was an improvement over 5 and used some more modern gamedesign, but it is still much closer to old gamedesign than 4E. Also at this point D&D will most likely again for 10 years do no changes ( just adding some subclasses). The changes...

There is no overlook. There is instead the choice as you already mention Each class has several class specific feats, which grant passive bonuses, which they can choose from which are unique to the class. Most classes even had race specific feats. And which were sometimes a reason you would...

Essential material is literally completly compatible. It did not replace anything. 3.5 did replace things. Essentials are just other books with different material. PHB 1 stuff can be combined with. Its not a new edition. It becomes pretty clear when you look at the later "heroes of X" books...

It was NOT inspired by WoW (or guildwars) that is the point. I made a post #58 where I linked to a video from last year where the 2 lead designers stating that this was not the case. I also linked to a reddit post where I explain in detail why the mechanics are nothing like a WoW if you look...

I am 100% sure I am not confusing. I mean Peterson. - Here is the "celebrating 50 years D&D: 4th edition" lifestream which happened at gencon: in which the Heinso and Collins say that WoW was not really an influence (and especially that the roles come from observing how people played D&D)...

Well the Peterson interview I saw also made me really aggressive. Imagine there was a 4E lifestream with the lead developers the day before. You know about it, even mention it. Then you state in the interview "So we all know 4E was inspired by World of Warcraft" when the 2 people who you are...
