I wish I could support my FLGS. But there isn't one. The only physical place I could get the D&D 4e core books from is 40+ miles away. And even if I did drive that far - it is't guaranteed they'd have them. For a guarantee I'm lookin' at 60 miles, maybe. Assuming I did do the insane drive...

Kobolds for the win!

*sigh* It was inevitable I guess. But I don't dig piracy. Bet WotC is well upset.

Looks like no bare-knuckle fighter path?

Thanks. I'm pleased to know the production is decent quality - it really makes a difference as to how I recieve the books. I'm shallow like that.

This is an odd question but: What's the quality of the book like? The paper, printing, cover & artwork?

Hmmmm...... no option for my situation. 1) Hated idea of 4e & DDi, thought it was money grab. 2) Started reading preview stuff - became interested 3) More I read more I wanted 4e 4) After some PHB Lite tests thought it was very good 5) Thought 4e was going to be great, preordered books 6)...

Is this a wind-up? If not, I'm really curious but...... but I'm not sure the poster should divulge anyting before the release date (ducks large numbers of oncoming mssiles).

Is there going to be a free adventure for game day?

It was good to read your review, thanks. I'm mostly pro-4e - very excited about a lot of stuff, but one of my big worries is marks. I haven't really liked the way they've worked out in my own little test games (just combat) - they're record intensive, slow play and can't be easily narrated all...

I'll generally have minions not explicitly labelled, but any astute player should be able to work it out based upon in-game descriptions. Sometimes I might make it very obvious, other times I might make it less so depending upon the monster, narrative effect and player in question.

Couple of ideas: Instead of having monsters divided by type (minion/brute etc.) divide them by squad. Put a marker on them (say a strip of blue post-it on a mini) and have balanced squads (2 minions, 1 brute, whatever) - roll initiative per squad, not creature type. Other idea, as others...

4e won't fail. But - should I be forced to think the unthinkable - then I'll just play all those other RPGs out there *looks* hmmmmm, Trail of Cthulhu looks interesting, as does Paranoia xp, and CoC, and nWoD, and V:tR, and Aces & Eights, and ... and ...etc.

That is a great idea. Consider it stolen. I think that when I DM my first 4ed game I might also have the dead remains of the 3.5e iconics sprinkled about. Sorta make a statment to the players, ya know?

Good for you Mike.....I'm really glad you decided to run with it rather than being put-off by those who said No.

Long-time lurker, first time poster. Just to say I love 4e swarms! Can't wait to combine them with minions.
