I'm actually at the start of this adventure myself, in my Dark Sun campaign. Right now the party is perched outside of town. I've set the adventure in the destroyed town of Yaramuke, to the east of Urik. The party consists of Templars, and some mercenaries. It is shortly after the fall of...

Here is an unboxing of the kit on youtube: YouTube - Quick and dirty D&D Essentials DM's Kit unboxing I'd say unless you were interested in the adventures and/or the tokens, you probably will be alright in skipping the DM book.

I'd still suggest The Slaying Stone, it's a great adventure. It's set up to be real sand-box style in how they choose to explore the city and where they decide to go, it's real easy to cut out a lot of the encounters. That is actually why I think it works nicely, especially if you are coming...

In your situation, he would not have to start making death saves again, stabilizing a character, does not heal them. Example: A character is at 5hps, and he takes a big hit for 15 points of damage, He is dropped and sitting at -10hp (ouch). On his turn, he rolls a death save and fails, strike...

This is where you can help out the most. Try and help steer the group to be more in line with the adventure and the system. Help the group adapt to the play style of the adventure and the new DM. Hell, you might find out that your group has a different play style and dynamic with a different DM...

If only there was an eight part video series of WotC talking about whats next... oh wait! YouTube - D&D Preview at Gencon 2010, Part 1

I would seriously hope that the answer to this question is "No bible. Handled much less formally". "Points of light" isn't a setting, it's a description of a type of setting. The idea is that "Points of light" describe small pockets of civilization in a dark and dangerous wilderness. You could...

When talking about the two dice sets in questions, there is one important thing to remember, WotC isn't a dice company. It's not a product that is really in their wheel house, they don't manufacture or sell a ton of these. Most likely they don't even want to sell you dice. They want to focus on...

You don't let players roll their own death saves?

Isn't that one of the reasons for doing these as "boxed sets", since that will fit into big box stores current game sections, rather than a set of hardcover books.

I answered yes. I play D&D Encounters at my local store (and I've been DMing the current season). So since I'm in there, playing every week, for free, I will go ahead and buy my books there. It's more expensive than amazon, but I like getting the books early, and I like supporting the store...

Maybe they can get the Old Spice guy?

So I picked the books over the weekend from my local store. I really love them. However, I was kinda let down by the sample adventure as well as the publish adventure. They didn't really seem all that Dark Sun-ish. The sample Eberron adventure, as well as the published Eberron adventure was...

Bioware stated that they'd rather spend the time and effort to work on their in house brands, than licensed material. Which is why they went from the Knights of the Old Republic to Mass Effect, and D&D to Dragon Age. Of course, then Lucas Film made them an offer they couldn't refuse and now they...

Exactly. Eberron had no cataclysm, and Dark Sun was "uncataclysmed" from the earlier edition. haters want to hate?

So, just like the Living Forgotten Realms games by the RPGA that you can download and play at a game store, convention, public area, or your home game? The RGPA has two D&D programs. One is the LFR games, which have a TON of adventures for you to download and run. You just need to take the...

Wasn't Kalak specifically trying to "skip" a bunch of levels and just jump right to dragon? Maybe I'm remembering it wrong. However, Dregoth was really high level, and he used illusions to maintain a few different forms. However, he flaunted his dragonness outward, which was one of the reasons...

Umm, no. Halflings in Dark Sun are crazy wild cannibals. Everyone is FINE with that and love it. Elves are shady desert runners. EVERY race in Dark Sun is turned on it's head and violates the regular notions of what defines the race. So Goliaths CAN'T be everything you labeled half-giants as in...
