This is probably the biggest alteration I make as well. My group never seems to be just the right level for the adventure either, so I am constantly doing level adjustments to monsters to keep the party challenged or alive. Lastly, and yes this is a 4E snipe, I always place my monsters in...

I had a 15 year old girl who was the sister of a 20 something player join our group. I also had the 13 year old brother of a 19 year old player join the group. The girl did fine but did not last for long, the boy played for 4 years until the group broke up. NOTE: I already knew the parents...

Wow, I may have to resign my grognard status, never played or ran any of these and also never even heard of many of them! I am so ashamed, I will be in the corner pouting.

Well since I already got credit / blame for an additional month of delay, let me say directly to Michael "take as long as you need." Seriously Michael, the screen shots ROCK! The work you have put in looks VERY impressive and I think most of us are eagerly awaiting the new site in ANY color...

I played in a rather restricted setting once that at first glance appeared rather dull, but it actually created a very different flavor that we liked once we got used to it. All Elves, all related (brothers, sisters, cousins, etc.), and limited to the good or chaotic alignments and true...

Anpther vote for the light text / dark background. I am also of the old school, old guard, or just old that started with white on black displays, and remembers front panel switches (can you say IMSAI 8080?).

I have used a few different hooks to get things started. I polled one group of all new players and just asked how they wanted to play, they were mostly hack and slash and wanted to be powerful and rich, so I just made them a group of mercenaries for hire. They answered an open call for...

Never played in any, DMed X1,2,3.

Chris Perkins of WotC Of specific note from the post: I firmly believe that there is a strategic plan somewhere by someone to do another online version, whether admitted or announced. The WoW ca$h cow is just too tempting a target to be ignored.

In the online game Asheron's Call there was a "White Bunny" monster that was obviously Monty Python inspired. It was something like 300 levels higher than any player could get and took a group to kill. It was fun though. I would love to see a D&D variation of that. It would never meet any...

Not trying to start a big argument here, but for me it is a totally new game irregardless of the name on the cover, so whether I buy into it or not will depend on all my usual parameters for buying any new game.

I played both B1 and B2 and then later ran both and B3. I know I had purchased B4 back in the day, but I don't remember ever playing or running it and then all my AD&D stuff went bye-bye thanks to an ex-girlfriend. :( She went soon after. :)

I went through most of those listed as a player and then went back and DMed most of them later on.

The demand for Complete Nonsense was such that it was rushed into production to arrive with the new year and to prepare for 4E. Exactly, I mean doesn't everybody already have a few of these? I know I do, they could at least add the half dragon and half celestial variants, geez! :p

Directly on point to the OP, I see nothing "right" about this scenario. IMHO, the DM screwed up letting this get started in the first place; your desire to play this scenario was if not wrong, then at least questionable; and the other player over reacting to the situation and killing you was...

Personally, I don't like it at all. Granted it is tagged as an "alpha", and if they follow the precedent for using that tag it will undergo massive changed before it goes "live", but I doubt they are seriously considering it an alpha, or even a beta. I also don't think I am the target audience...

I think you just went into much greater detail than I did. As I tell all potential new players, "I am a storytelling DM, not a hack and slash, kill the monsters take their stuff DM, if that is your style of play then my games will be boring to you and you should look elsewhere." I usually have...

Hags Gone Wild! :)

I think it is a great idea. Glad to see it wasn't just me. :)

Maybe he too has a secret motive that you do not know about and he was just fulfilling that part of his character. Maybe he too is working for the church, but as a "cleaner" and did not want you to explain why you did what you did. Better a dead mystery than a live informant. THIS is an...
