Maybe I am just old fashioned but I still don't believe such a creature exists. Unless the term has been expanded to mean 'person who does not love everything about 4e'. All the 'nards I have met would not touch 3e with a pole.

To paraphrase: I role play, you suck do not. Edit: a little harsh, I apologize. The module is a straightforward dungeon romp, intentionally, it si an introduction to a new combat system and an introduction for new DMs. There is, however, nothing I have seen in the rules that prevents you from...

I am going to draw big mustaches and mutton-chops on all the dragonborn. Viola, perfect. Now I just need some 'alone time' to appreciate these scaley macho men as jeebus intended: with big mustaches.

Wait, the same board full of 100 page posts bemoaning the lack of -1 level sheep molesters now also has complaints that x class/race/power is not powerful enough at level 1? It makes me want to puke in my hat, unfortunately it is already full.

edit: ah nm

This is a 'DM item' however, you might have several PHBs for a group but you only need 1 copy of this product to run a game for 4-7 peeps. Also this item is an entirely optional add on for early adopters and folks who don't wnat to write their own mod, the core stuff is low margin to get folks...

Yeah they should add some of the clunky garbage back in to make it feel more old school. For me dnd feels like sitting around with some guys dicking around and drinking beer. 4e feels just right so far on this point. RE: the OP: is it just me or does 3.5 seem a little recent for grognardism...

Edit: doh.

Thanks for the answer, I guessed wrong on this one. Good to see we are getting close to the point that questions can be resolved quickly with authority not over 30 pages of hypotheticalizing.

I was wondering about the 'level up' assumptions, it seems like your choice of adventure hook might reduce the number of encounters they players hit before reaching the harder encounters. But I suppose the difference between level 1 and 2 is a lot smaller than in previous editions so maybe it...

Because it is fun.

Don't worry, the world is full of uber-nerd RP cops who want things done THE ONE TRUE WAY. Thing is, the drama school at my university was full of gamers and every one of them was a crummy, crummy actor while simultaneously being the most deluded about their own skills. Myself excluded of...

I believe the :1: mechanic is designed to be easily scannable. As in you begin the round, throw a d6 or two and glance at the paper to see if anything matches your roll which is why :4: :5: :6: is displayed rather than :4:. I am sure a lot of folks would not find this necessary but it doesn't...

Because it clutters up the sheet with something you might not use much.

Raiders is a fine mod but it was made when we had a more limited idea of the rules and a smaller number of monsters. Also some of the monster stats have changed. kots is also a good deal longer. I would run raiders if you want a one off couple hour intro to 4e but even then I would pick up...

The more minions the closer fixed damage is to what you would have gotten rolling it, and the bigger advantage to not rolling. extrapolating what the die roll would be should not be a problem though if you want to roll.

It looks like from KotS the arcane skill can allow one to 'detect magic' witha skill check. I have not seen in the actual module where it said to have the PCs roll for it but the skill description infers that. Personally I would tailor it to the party, if they have a wizard anyway say it is a...

This is how I do it, less swingy if you assume that the reroll numbers are that die and above. Although that was for fights with 1 or 2 mobs with recharges, higher level I suppose everything will have em.

But.. all advancement in all RPGs is an illusion. Unless you count advancing waistlines from too much pizza and beer.

Yes but they are NPCs, PCs are not allowed to do anything interesting. That's why Big D only plays fighters with no feats in 3.5, right Derren?
