Only a couple more hours for this round.

I hated it. Yes, I owned it. However, for the most part the monsters that weren't transferred from other TSR products were not very good. There were some gems, but not many (I didn't even care for the githyanki and githzerai, although I didn't hate them). The art was pretty bad. In...

Not bad, it's still a race.

Finally, a non-leader gets voted off (apparently only because no leaders are left) and we say goodbye to the warlock. Are we going to see the strikers voted off in turn now that the leaders are gone? Are the votes going to start striking a different type of theme now? We'll see what the next...

And we say goodbye to the warlock., the first non-leader to be voted off the list. Who will be next? Will the strikers be targetted? Will it be the war- classes? Perhaps those classes some consider to be oozing with flavor, but not optimized?

I agree. I find it much easier to get some campaign inspiration from the 4E campaign guide. Other than that, the "new" information mostly deals with integrating the new races. There are a few new bits of information there, but not too much.

What I would like to see in a published adventure (or rather, series of adventures).... Set up several series of adventures with some possible links. Design each series so there is "dead space" between the adventures. Maybe the first series have the first adventure run 1st-3rd level, the...

I noticed that much of the early 4E third party content was player oriented. Some of that may have been the OGL theory that if you give content to players you have more potential customers. I admit, I saw that content and gave it all a pass, regardless of the company. I didn't want the...

Or don't really care much about getting the PDFs or about their PDF policy. Even if WotC felt some compulsion to put their products up as PDFs, I doubt they would drop much from their "full cover price of print copy" anyway. Look at WotCs policies from the beginning, and their current policy...

The last of the leaders, the cleric, drops this round in a close battle. The message seems to be that WotC should have dropped all the classes that were leaders from 4E. Well, we don't have the leaders to pick on. Who will drop this time? Is another of the roles going to be targeted? Rules...

So far the leaders have been dropping like flies. We are down to just the cleric. Will he drop this round, or will the votes start making the rounds of the party roles? Rules 1) Vote for the class you want to "vote off the list." 2) Please don't look at the current tally or the...

And the Bard follows the carnage of the leaders. Does the cleric have what it takes to survive? Looking at the votes, it may not.

Also, most long term campaigns I have played in and run have developed based on what the PCs do. Even if there was one overarching storyline (and I have never played in that long term), the player character's actions in the first set of adventures determine what is going to happen in the middle...

Exactly. When I start looking for adventures, I am looking for something that fits into my current, preexisting campaign. Having one story told over several "products" means that is effectively one product for my purposes (and a pretty expensive one at that). I want a lot of choices. I will...

One "Adventure Path" does not make a "line of adventures." Rather, it is a "line of adventure." Get me some adventures outside of the adventure path, and I'll grab some.

I agree. Even with a Mac, you still have the compendium. That gives you all the monster statblocks (including those that appear only in RPGA adventures). Add to that all the character creation crunchy bits (feats, classes, races, powers) and magic items then you have cut down the amount you...

I can understand this for character oriented 3rd party products. The Character Builder is such a strong tool, it's hard to give it up or play around with the poor tools to include 3rd party races, classes, etc. Feats and magic items are even an issue, but easier to kludge into the builder...

The leaders continue to drop like flies as the Shaman is voted off the list. The Bard or Cleric must be quaking in their boots. Rules 1) Please don't read the thread or look at the results before you vote. 2) Vote for the class you want to remove from the list.

The leader carnage continues as the Shaman is voted off the list, will the bard, cleric be next to drop?

Which is well and good if you have access to the "network." Finding out details about RGPA scenarios in advance has typically been an exercise in frustration, I have found, unless you are plugged into the network. It also assumes everyone else is. As I stated above, the biggest challenges are...
