    War of the Burning Sky – Scouring of Gate Pass detailed impressions (spoilers)

    I initially felt the same way as the OP about WotBS 1. But as I've continued the campaign, I was really thankful for that first adventure. Even though my players were experienced, their characters weren't. A couple were new recruits to the Resistance, and the others were new to Gate Pass. They...

    When's "Tears of the Burning Sky" Coming?

    While I too would like something akin to release dates, even the above quote is somewhat of a relief. I got a little nervous as well when the forum posts about a new AP came up. I wondered if that was a death knell for WOtBS--given that this is a 4 to 5 person operation, I wondered if people...

    Modified Black Widow Encounter: 4e Adv 7

    Hehe. I was hunting all over to see where this adventure was, so I could buy it.

    WotBS 4E - Sessions Per Book of WotBS?

    Group of 4. 9 sessions played, and we are about 2/3 done with the second adventure. Took us 5 sessions to finish adventure one, and is looking like 5-6 for adventure 2. Berc

    A Question about Shelter from the Storm 4e (spoilers)

    Avoiding obtuseness.... /on In the General Encounter "Someone is Looking for You" starting on page 19, the PCs can infiltrate a White Wyrm hideout and capture Jess. They then get the chance to interrogate Jess (as listed on p. 20) and she tells them that "the strange equipment in the hideout is...

    A Question about Shelter from the Storm 4e (spoilers)

    So, this is a minor (I think) spoiler question. In the General Encounter called "Someone is Looking for You," in the mini skill challenge, the characters get to interrogate someone, and that person tells them something about the "strange equipment" at a location (p.20). However, there's nothing...

    WotBS WotBS play-through thread, with 4E newbie goodness

    I've recently changed how I keep track of treasure. I got tired of juggling wish lists (especially given that some players are always more up to date than others). So I pulled the Ace-10 out of a deck of playing cards, and told my players that they should keep a list of the magic items they...

    WotBS WOTBS#2 Planning the FINAL BATTLE

    d4 surges seems a bit harsh since spending 8 hours in the forest only causes 1 surge loss. (Although the rules on page 32 about the effects of the forest, and the ones on page 6 don't seem to exactly match up, so maybe d4 isn't too bad.) Seems like an Endurance check would be a good call. Maybe...

    Unmarked Battlemaps Please!?

    On the Shelter from the Storm FG maps, I get the password prompt, but the password that I think is right doesn't seem to work. -Berc

    WotBS Running Innenotdar WotBS #2 (spoilers)

    Well, my next game with that encounter starts in 15 minutes... I'm kidding. ;) Whenever you get to it would be cool. I just like the way you took the framework of skill challenges and turned it into a mini-game. --Berc

    Sfedi, I love what you did with that skill challenge. Any chance you could post the partsthat were "To be Completed"? -Berc

    Fire Forest Question

    Bah. That makes sense. The stat block said to "See Below" and I looked on every below in the book! I forgot to look below in another book. ;)

    Fire Forest Question

    I can't seem to find the stats for the fiery filthy fever listed in the monster stat block on p.63. Am I just missing it? Berc

    WotBS Torrent and other NPC's in WotBS

    I switched Torrent to a companion NPC using the stats posted on these forums by...somebody smart whose handle I don't remember right now. I gave control of her to one of the players for combat purposes, and explained that if she influenced the fight by changing hp values or providing bonuses...

    WotBS Torrent and other NPC's in WotBS

    I used Torrent as an active party member through the first module. I only have 4 players, so the extra NPC (especially a healing NPC) let me get away with not adjusting the Encounter Levels. However, having three NPCs in in the Forest is a bit more unwieldy. And, the players have now gotten used...

    Maps and Minis

    Howdy folks, My group is getting ready to head into the Fire Forest, and I was just curious how other DMs were handling maps and minis. In Adventure 1, I printed out the maps on Enworld using Excel (or as pdfs), meaning that I had a lot of cutting and taping to do. For Adventure 2, I've got a...

    Another Character Sheet Option

    I've always loved mad irishman's sheets. Have used a number for other games, and the 4e one will probably see some heavy use in my group as well. A couple of suggestions: 1) The attribute base for the Nature skill is WIS, not INT. 2) Someone else posted a character sheet here somewhere, and it...

    D&D 4E UPDATED 6/20/08! kiznit's 4e Fold-over Character Sheet w/ Cards

    Nice character sheet. I'm a big fan of paper dolls ever since playing the old Runequest game, and I like using it for equipment slots. One thing, I noticed though, is that the Shield part of the paper doll is gonna be tricky to implement. It does take up your off-hand (most likely), but it...
