I have not read the adventure, just looked up the encounters... but: Frost Giants!!! (And many of them)... I like the "Dungeon" Part a lot and will use it in my campaign, though with a stronger Cold Fey theme...

Well, thanks for those insights! So, the 4e Version will get significant changes? I ask, because I would not like to invest into a campaign not making use of 4e's particular style of encounter building and skill challenges. My group loves those :) Thay sound great. I always wanted to run a...

hmm, so unless I go for Returned Abeir there is no true chance to use the realms. Thanks. Is the AP "sufficiently" epic? I did not read alot about dragons, giants etc. in the short summaries and fighting humanoids only at very high levels is not what my players are looking for.

I am seriously considering the 4e Update of WotBS as my next campaign. I usually run rather "old school inspired" games, but it is getting old. I even lost my excitement for Revenge of the Giants. So... have you used the Burning Sky Saga or parts of it? Is it worth it? Well, I guess 50$ is not...

I guess, time (and power books) will fix that.

Well, I had only a quick look, but I loved what I saw. So much in fact, that I am considering switching to SoW with my campaign. If I can figure out if that is even possible, since the characters just hit level 11 and I would have to start with "The Mottled Tower" ...

Well, I really think this should have been in the PHB2. Now I have to force my players to read it :) I think this is a great article, really useful for those players who do not want to spend to much time figuring out how the game works. I think the essentials are in there.

Being "DM only" as far as 4e goes, I feel more or less the same about the book... but, I loved reading the new races... can't recommend buying the book because of those, though. Just borrow it from one of your players.

I was just giving examples of balanced games... actually you could add a lot of board games as both good or bad examples of "good" game design. I did not say they should make D&D like those games, just that I think balance is very important and require a lot of skill.

Maybe because I am a physicist or maybe because I am a big fan of Blizzards way of designing games. (Love Starcraft and Diablo 2 for being balanced), but I firmly belive that game design is a complicated craft, requireing solid math skills. If anything, I think the designers should do better in...

We just finished our Heroic Tier Campaign, running from level 1 to 10. The game did not feel stagnant at all, I would compare it with going from level 3 to level 7 in 3e, but with the players getting 9 instead of 4 level ups. For me, as a DM, that was great because it removes that feeling of...

You know, they 'might' still fix the feat with eratta... maybe it is a missprint. It could, for example, only apply to daily powers... well... or maybe it will stay this way and make a lot of people really sad, as it breaks some of the best aspects of 4e... like the "no unoptimal characters"...

I'm using it for my campaign and it works very well. Within our gaming group are a couple of FR fans (me included) and still we like playing in the new setting, because it allows us way more freedom. I think of it as a very playable setting. And I like a couple of the new High Fantasy Stuff like...

My current Heroic Tier campaign is about to end. Only 2 of the 5 characters of will stay in the group, the other 3 players have decided to make new PCs. I plan to run Trollhaunt Warren, The Demon Queens Enclave and Revenge of the Giants plus extras (I plan to shorten the dungeons) We play in...

uhh... kinda forgot about the savage tide :) To me it was more about pirates than Demogorgon... never played it though.

hmm, as with Grazzt I just have a hard time grasping what he is about. Are there any iconic Demogorgon adventures, plots or places? (Orcus is easier to grasp for me, thanks to Necromancer Games Adventures)

I do not really know the H1-3 series, but while my group was resting during some overland traver, there was a stone pillar on a clearing, roghly in the shape of a troll sitting on a throne. You could try to have them encounter a couple of sites that give them a feeling there once was a big...

I do not understand why they changed FR Banes Symbol either and stayed with the clenched fist myself... but... I love this article. It is great and I will incorporate as much of it into my FR Bane as possible... which should be everything except for the (awesome) background...

Hmm, I intend to get all three Core II books, Revenge of the Giants, maybe one or two of the Epic Tier adventures and I will continue my DDI sub. (Being the DM, that removes the need to get any splat books) and most if not all DM focused products like Open Grave or Draconomicon. I guess...

Somehow you cured my upcomming DM burnout just by posting this, thanks for reminding me you do not have to go epic! :) I created a rather epic "Temple of Elemental Evil"-like heroic tier campaign which is about to end after 30 sessions. I allready figured out how to go from there to an epic...
