Speaking as a 4e player, I doubt this. Depending on how good 5e is, I could see a true statement being, "For every 4e player that makes the leap to 5e, there will be one who stays with 4e." If I were a 4e player who preferred Pathfinder, I'd already be playing Pathfinder. I have nothing against...

If you want a second defender without worrying about overriding one another's marks, make one of the defenders a character with a defender's aura instead of a mark. This is how the defenders from Heroes of the Fallen Lands onward work (Knight, Cavalier, Berserker).

Yeah, I'm still a little confused myself. So far my players and I have all forgotten about the one card they found, but that will change soon. If the players only have one card and there's no card present in the encounter (everything other than encounters 6, 13 and 21), then the card they're...

I could definitely see running a one-off game when I get my books. I'm a 4e player who never had the chance to play 1e. I'd love to give it a swing, just for variety's sake!

The PDF seems to be a solicitation that WotC is sending to retailers, asking them to carry these items for sale. It seems to be for the general retail audience. And I expect it to be HUGE! I'm a player who really hasn't played anything other than 4e, and I am totally pre-ordering these as soon...

Well, I run the game online using MapTool, so I did plop the map images of Winterhaven and Gardmore Abbey right onto the game table, numbers and all. I hid some of the Abbey grounds until they explored those areas, but it didn't take long for them to at least see all of the interesting...

I like Legacies. While straight-up D&D would be lovely, it will need a qualifier in conversation about different editions. If none is provided, it will end up as Fifth Edition. I'd like to see something other than 5e for a name, and Legacies appeals to me the most among these options.

I'm running this adventure and blogging as I go: - Session one - Session two - Session three In my game, I had the party be called to Winterhaven by Lord Padraig because he wanted to hire some adventurers to take care of the orc raids coming from Gardmore Abbey. They ended up running into...

I'm not able to join, but have you tried asking around at Enchanted Grounds in Highlands Ranch? There's an active 4e community there, and you might find folks who would like to join a home game. There's Living Forgotten Realms all day this Saturday; you might come by to recruit!

It sounds like you've written a cool story, but not a roleplaying campaign. I'd suggest trying to think of presenting the players with situations and then reacting to what they do. I agree with Rechan's advice; saying, "Okay, you all love this little prince and have to protect him as you've...

Maybe they said this at some point, but I don't believe it was the 2011 GenCon New Products Seminar. I was there, and I took copious notes, and I don't recall any mention of a DMG3 for epic tier. GenCon 2011 Day 3: D&D New Products Seminar Online Dungeon Master

I'm another person who has long since ditched tracking XP, instead leveling characters when appropriate (usually every 2-3 sessions in my games). However, if WotC wants to appeal to players of all editions with the new iteration, I'd be surprised if they ditched XP or radically re-worked it. Pity.

I've been pretty happy with standard / move / minor, and I agree that interrupts get tiresome. I think I'm mostly okay with immediate reactions, actually; it's the interrupts (and free actions that function as interrupts) that slow things down and get people to want to back up a turn and so on.

I'd like epic to be left out of the PHB1. That seems like an excellent area for modularity.

I could probably be fine with that, sure. I'm flexible. But I'd like this to be a game where disarming is very, very rare if it happens at all, so it will in effect be the case that the wizard always has at-will magic.

I like 4e and generally have not liked Vancian magic. That said, when I really think about that dislike, my only real complaint is the Wizard being reduced to throwing darts ineffectually when it's not time for a blow-the-doors-off spell. Vancian magic + Magic Missile at-will would be fine by...

I'm also going to vote for MapTool as a write-in candidate.

I wish the XP function were working, as I'd give you some. This matches my view of what should be "core" exactly.
