That actually looked a lot better than I was expecting. Sorry for lack of faith and all, but I do remember that CD in the back of the 3.0 books. =) The Rouse looked so unhappy though...

First session, I found it difficult to remember to mark monsters when they became Bloodied. It was a little easier the second time around, but I still caught myself forgetting.

Good thing there will be live crews around. At first I was imagining the beholder left there to attract attention as random art, much like this (in Toronto): Then I read that the first location for the Beholder is a bus stop. "Oh yeah, that's getting stolen by some frat boys."

No, but I'm sure once I start in on a campaign, my wife will want her own copy in hand.

Hello Harbinger. Welcome to the area. I can't help with a game, but I did want to recommend this if you haven't seen it: NC Game Day There will be a lot of locals there and you may have luck networking with people. Also, there's a meetup group. Raleigh-Durham D&D meetup Good luck!

Oops, you got me. I'm so used to thinking of Heroic as something more than 1st level characters. =)

I believe they said that Tactical Assault is a Heroic Tier feat (although at first glance, doesn't seem ultra-powerful), so that would probably need to be replaced. EDIT: My mistake, got my level names mixed up.

I think it's looking pretty good. Inspiring Words does less healing than a Cleric's Healing Word, but it heals all allies. Fairly powerful, but it is an encounter power, and you can only do it once whereas clerics can use their twice. If it needed to be limited, I'm guessing you could reduce...

Hrm. I've run two playtests with different groups, about eleven players in total. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, and many are looking forward to trying out the full-blown system. One big difference is when I was setting this up, I stressed that open minds were a requirement. I don't mind...

I've been wanting to go the bin route, but for now I use one of these, snagged from Sears: Craftsman Pro Tool Box The two top trays are great, and I keep a lot organized in the removable shelf, but the bottom area is wide open and needs a way to be organized.

Thanks!

Ran my second playtest tonight, much fun was had. This group had six players instead of five from the other night (I'm very, very fortunate in my locale). So I threw in a Kobold Dragon Shield to spice the fights up. Their base attack is listed as: Short Sword (standard; at-will) • Weapon +7...

Hope no one was planning on using Skybus to get here for game. My plans for early May just got cancelled b/c they went under, cancelling all flights.

So Warrior's get stances? Defensive Training - Level 6 Utility Exploit - As long as you remain in this stance, all your save rolls are enhanced by a +2 bonus. Now we just need to look for Battle and Beserker varieties... (I enjoy WoW and I'm pro-4e, but this looks like a blatant grab...

Thanks for the detailed input everyone. To be clear, this isn't the exact model I would use in a normal campaign. It's a bit too much of a railroad for what I usually run. Then again, I also don't run skirmish combat games. This is just a session for us to give the rules a try, both combat and...

The goal as I see it would be to get the initial item (macguffin!) that they've been sent to retrieve. The council doesn't want to honor their deal, due to the plague situation in town, so the PCs should try to sway them (or the small town as a whole). It doesn't affect whether they go to...

Hello people. I'm prepping my 4e playtest game and wanted to show my non-combat skill challenge model. First off, many thanks to those of you who've cobbled together the information we have so far. Your enthusiasm makes this possible. So, I've pulled in some thematic elements from Burning...

Hangman's Noose is my favorite out of the solo adventures. Logue did a really good job with it. And of course, the Runelords adventure path is well-worth it, but I imagine you're not looking at those.

Good to see the cast all together (including Lucy Lawless?), but yeah, mostly lame. Think I'll go watch What the Frak? again for some quick laughs. (it's a huge spoiler for the first 3 seasons, if you haven't watched it).

I've been convinced. It's about time I made it out to a gameday again. Thanks for putting this together, people. Now let's see if I can find my login for the registration site. =P
