Thanks for the responses everyone. To be clear though, I just want to use the general frame work from PoR as inspiration, not a direct lifting of plot points or encounter areas. The thing I like most about PoR is the council and how it can be used as both a jumping off point for a sandbox or...

With all of the talk about sandboxes, I wanted to get some input about some work I am doing on a new campaign area. I am modeling it after SSI's Pool of Radiance in that the PCs will start in a town that has a number of leads to adventure sites--like PoR's: clearing the slums, investigating and...

After reading my previous post, it seems like that dungeon would work well in 4e with regards to pacing. One would have to add some baddites to 4 and 5 (maybe rats and skeletons respectively) of course, but the secret tunnel would be a natural rest point if the PCs fought both the krenshar and...

I started one back in 2007 for a friend of mine that I only see a couple of times a year. I figured it would be easier to run something as small as a 5-room dungeon; something that could be completed during one trip. Unfortunately what resulted after all my planning--I still haven't fleshing it...

Interesting, I'm playing that game now ;)

Absolutely right. I have noticed that threads seem to grow in related bunches like that. But to clarify why I started this thread--with the little I read in them, my issue was that some (not all) of the threads were dealing with the manner in which the 4e rules effect combat and discussing...

But I'm only here for the Warz :p

Sorry for being snippy. See previous post.

Is there any special reason why there are a large assortment of threads that are related to a 4e specific problem allowed in the General Forum?

I wonder what would happen if a forum for EWTs opened up over at CM?

In an nutshell, I don't think that the 3e design team approached the game believing that balance was the holy grail of fun game play, YMMV.

I never thought of it like that. I will have to remind the wife that I could have bought a bottle of McClellands Lowland instead for the same price. :)

I second this. I purchased my set several days ago and it seems to have the balance you seek. The two previews they have on their site are worthless for getting an idea on some of the game's fundamental premises so I would recommend looking for authoritative reviews. I am looking forward to...

What? In earlier editions, at 1st-level it only takes one or two hits to take down a level-equivalent opponent and maybe up to four to take down a fighter with maxed-out hit points. Bullgrit made a comment about how different his first 4e experience was from any other edition of D&D and your...

When I started playing D&D back in the mid-eighties, I paid something like twelve dollars for the Red Basic set and about a month later another fourteen dollars for the Blue Expert set, if I remember correctly. That covered about a year of gaming before we fully converted to AD&D. We were...

I find it interesting that T1-4 has a slightly different but more clear description for that room. 15. Domicile This place was the domicile of the major-domo of the castle but is now stripped of everything save broken and ruined furnishings. One wall cresset remains near the outer wall, and its...

Can someone list the location this silver torch can be found in please? I am still trying to find the text to read for myself. Thanks in advance. :)

Same here concerning Goodman, though not playing 3e or any derivatives of. That does mean it more likely for me to purchase something with totally generic stats. Game styles for mid to high level 3e or 4e seem too different to make a great adventure for either system IMHO :). EDIT: To make it...
