The Reavers of Harkenwold was such a wonderful module. I used it in my aforementioned Viking campaign and it was a great success both for me and my players; we all had a blast with it. If the initial batch of 4e modules was this good, the edition might have got off to a better start. I also...

I can't remember if I've posted in this thread before or not, and it's not old enough to be a necro, especially considering the lack of posts with this tag these days. So yeah, I'm still playing 4e. I just finished a 1-10 viking-themed game, have restarted another game that I'm co-dming with my...

I forgot that you're quite technically handy (moreso than I). ;) That's... a fair bit more 'hacking around' than I'm prepared to do, unless it's easier than it sounds, haha.

I started using a wordpress blog to keep track of that stuff in a reference-like format, but I don't get to updating it often enough, unfortunately. I originally wanted a wiki, but hadn't found a suitable one. I'd be interested in the details of your setup...

Thankfully, I kept detailed notes about what happened during games in a campaign calendar on google docs, so none of the results of gaming sessions were actually lost, only the DM prep side of things. Still a heavy blow, but not a fatal one. If google docs goes dark one day, I'll eat my hat.

I've gotten quite used to using the wonderful resource, known as power2ool, to run and play in 4e games. Unfortunately, the web-based application at www.power2ool.com has gone dark. I keep getting a "connection refused" error, as does everyone in my local group. The guy responsible has not...

I always read that power to mean that the power chosen for the Property was a one-time choice, while the other one was selectable when used. That said, based on your character's stats, there will only be a few powers that make sense to use. I have given this one out in a game I ran (but I made...

I get the feeling from the tone of the crowd, that even if you did mention it in character, any attempt to change their minds would fall on deaf ears. That said, Sabynha would try to correct them, but at the same time, loves and basks in the attention. Which power are you referring to?

Yeah, Sabynha definitely suggested that wish, but Rain was the one who made it. Sabynha wished for happiness, you are correct.

Same. I have it down as a loan, so I'll repay it as soon as we get some more cash :)

Sabynha welcomed Wat's company. Already she could sense that he had been wizened by their experience; he seemed a little more calm and collected, and yet she could see the intensity in his eyes. "I will have to see my people, and tell them what we've done. Nani will want to know that her favour...

Hey, that's great! Thank you. Maybe we can add that into the story; he can buy her a nice trinket ;)

I hate to be "that guy" but does anyone's character have 500 gold that they could spot Sabynha? XD

Well that's my bad, I guess. I thought I made it abundantly clear that it was past-tense, leading up to now, since this thread is about the historical context of 4e, I prefaced my long part by saying that I was speaking about my history with the game, and that it was largely written in...

If that is how you feel, fair enough. I disagree. There's nothing more I'm going to say on the matter.

That is what you are choosing to read into it. That was not specifically my intent.

Perhaps it does. I didn't indicate otherwise. My statement that you replied to was referencing my statement in my first post about "anti-4e vitriol" still being present, so that I what I referenced.

Yes, I did describe it that way. It was a historical monologue of how I felt at the time. I obviously don't feel that way now. I changed my mind after examining the evidence by playing the game. So there's no disconnect here. If that's legitimately the way the devs felt, fine, whatever, but the...

Yes, and I deliberately used loaded language, or rather, deliberately did not avoid it, because I was recounting my experiences, and how I felt at the time, in part to show that the bad feelings weren't entirely limited to one edition or another. The edition wars have been going on since basic...

Well, that's not the intent. I'm sorry if you took it that way. I fully accept that a "substantial number of people" 4e is not better than prior editions. That is not in question. I don't agree with them, but that's neither here nor there. The difference is that I don't care what other people...
