Good points, but I am still bummed out on the 2 levels only.. :(

I am wondering about this nostalgia factor. How is this boxset any different from the previous starter set apart from the red cover?

Well, if they expect newbies to switch to the Core books after the Essentials, it does seem expensive isn't it?

Yeah, and I think that for those who don't like 4e, won't like 5e either or any future editions unless D&D is made by another company. The design philosophy of WOTC's D&D is here to stay and will never look back.

How about a Pathfinder boxset with levels 1-10 wrapped up in full glorious WAR art?

Hey if the minotaur in the front cover is a runepriest (judging from the mace he is wielding), and the minotaur is a melee based race, can we imply the runepriest is a melee based class? Or at least having a melee based build.

Yeah, I think so too. Bust its mainly for the new mechanics rather than archetypes. I only need the 4 main (fighter, rogue, cleric, wizard) and the rest are just variations of the archetypes with own mechanics. Sure I can reflavour all my cleric or paladin powers to be rune-based, but the...

Great! Looking forward to it. How do you convert the room sizes to 4e?

Same here. I feel PHB1/2 already covered most of the traditional archetype and PHB3 mostly caters to Psionics/Hybrid rules for people who want it. It's all about knowing/selective of what you want and getting the right books. Wonder what DMG3 will offer? I guess an epic city, but since I DM...

Yeah, I just got it. So far I am using PHB1/DMG1/MM1/MM2.. I think it's enough and maybe get PHB2 just to treat my players. How necessary is AV? Besides giving them magic items?

Hey guys, do you think MM2 is useful? Especially not having a DDI subscription?

I think most players would use it this way. Only once a while do you get things like throwing away their weapons.

I agree that DMs shouldn't "get back" at the players simply because he creatively used dominate. How about when monsters are disarmed, they now attack unarmed using the damage by level table, either lowering it down a level or simply -2 attacks, as a reward to the player who manages to disarm...

My next 4e game will use Companion rules for PCs. The encounters have to be cut down by half I think. Two companion PCs are equal to one standard monster. Am I right?

Wow, thanks for making this. I was going to make a simplified character sheet as well. Is it possible to fit one character sheet into 1 page instead of having two? That will lead to big fonts and easy on the eyes. Gives the impression that 4e is rules light. But anyway great job.

Best post I ever read.

Nice thread. I too am thinking of running something similar and want to tone down the magical aspects of the game. Can you elaborate more or point me to the page?

Totally forgot about the adventureing period of 4e vs AD&D parties... I guess I have to tweak any time sensitive events to cater to the long duration of dungeoncrawl for AD&D PCs.

The adventured layout for 4e is nice to my eyes and eventhough 4e isn't my game system of choice, I am attracted to run the adventures such as Scales of War. Anyone here has experience using the adventures for older D&D systems such as 2nd ed or BD&D? I dont really want to convert all the...

I admit I love playing it as a player with all the tactics and teamwork, but when its comes to DMing I feel bored and have not much fun as compared to my players. Is the fun in combat really the defining point of 4e's draw? As I type this, I am itching to DM 4e again for a group of tactically...
