@buddhafrog My plan is to have 2 sessions with pregens. Partly yes, to catch any people who didn't make the first game, but mostly I want to separate the "interested" from the "Merely curious" or "not serious" crowds. Once I've established who had enough fun to keep going, then I help them...

I just stumbled across this; someone wrote a fourthcore style adventure, designed for 2-4 players. Note to @Tequila Sunrise (since I might wind up in his game) that I haven't read it or any of the fourthcore adventures.

I'll start the players at the level that doesn't have the PCs fighting rats & skeletons, the level where they're not fragile enough to die if something looks at them crossly, the level where they are capable of actually doing things. In 3e that's around level 3, in 4e that's level 1. So it...

Honestly I think these answers are what the players should be coming up with. But if not: Arcana: ways to maximize the flow of power through the place while minimizing the corruptive energy (think: feng shui). Related to skill challenges, I like this house rule on how to run skill challenges...

Dear Wizards, I'm tired of all the dwarven wenches being shaved. Where are my fine bearded ladies? Bring back the proud femustache. Gilgen the Beard-Lover

Before even starting, you do understand that your players might not follow your script, right? That they may zig where you anticipate them to zag, or completely go off road - instead of going to the city of the friend, they could hide out in a cave, etc. First, you have to make the players...

Anyways I'm wondering how many things I should put in. So far: Two combat encounters, a little bit of exploration and fiddling with. I'd like a puzzle, too, and something to talk to, but I'm not sure what/where to put it/etc. Ideally I want this to be able to fill 4 hours, and be Interesting...

I'm sorry, Kamikaze Midget, I misread. But I have a serious problem believing that they disregarded all feedback. I mean if that's so, then how is Keterys' experience possible? If Mearls actually said this, then he should have quoted him.

What, is this the 'they get a saving throw'?

A lot like PF's playtest. If you had a problem with an area that Paizo did not feel was problematic, then it wasn't going to get changed, regardless of your feedback. It was intended to be 3.75 - ironing out a few fixes for people who liked 3.5, as opposed to addressing grievances.

Making it even harder to kill PCs in 4e will remove this minor complaint, and increase another.

Let's set aside the issue of "It'll offend adults who might play the game" for a second. We want to market D&D to kids. And if you put nudity in the books, it will freak parents out. Video games that are rated M (and thus not legally allowed to be sold to minors!) get huge PR stinks because...

There's all this talk of unity, but in many of the threads on this forum, many posters are pretty keen on throwing out anything related to 4e. That's ignoring an important point: 5e needs to be able to convince 4e players to play too. The designers alienated a lot of 3e players with their...

If presenting a single statblock defines a race, then we can't have any statblocks of any humnaoid monsters because that would define what they are. Open your 1e MM. You get a single statblock, no mention of advancement. Or take a look at the 2e MM entry on orcs.

What? 4e doesn't define an entire race with a role. Opening my 4e MM1, the Orc entry has: Minion, Skirmisher, Brute, Controller (Leader), and two Elite Brutes. Monster roles are the monster equivalent of PC classes. Because they simply represent "How man hit points does this monster have...

I can't give you more xp. Alas.

Guys guys we're getting off track. The cow-drop thing was off-screen, just a young dragon making a mistake and alerting a village that 'whoa flying monster danger danger'.

It's been four days since the announcement, and there are four pages in this forum already. There's no way WotC can read the threads coming at them from across the internets. Where do we go to give direct feedback/suggestions? And are they even going to take random suggestions? Or are they...

We already have two threads (one on the first page, jeez) on this topic: http://www.enworld.org/forum/new-horizons-upcoming-edition-d-d/316378-what-can-d-d-next-learn-other-games.html http://www.enworld.org/forum/new-horizons-upcoming-edition-d-d/316165-game-elements-other-systems.html
