So you were able to run a few games with just these? This is good! I'm interested in hearing of your play experiences with no DMG or MM. Like your encounters, and how your players enjoyed them. I presume one of your main reasons for buying the PHB was so the other players could make characters...

Both of these are most excellent finds! My hat is off to you! What do you think about these '4E lite' rules? Do you think they'd be a good match for a 4E board game? My 12 second scan through them seem to indicate that they simply reduce some rolls and random numbers here and there; overall...

I should have rephrased that: And i'm okay with unpainted minis. That does sound pretty cool, but I personally would prefer an unpainted mini [if I really wanted to, I could always paint it]. I'm very fond of 3d elements, but different strokes for different folks. Some aspects of this are being...

Sounds kinda neat; so heavy gear blitz is a streamlined version of heavy gear that's designed to use more physical elements, not really a 'board game', but a slimmed or light rpg? Do you have to rescue aleena the female cleric? If so, then yeah, that was the one I had. I definitely remember...

I think it's because i'm a relatively new member, and it's been six months since 4E's release, so everybody's 'well, different strokes and all'; no need to poop on what others think is fun, right? Maybe I rolled a natural 20 for diplomacy when I made the thread???:D I'm not sure why they didn't...

Is there anything specific about descent that you didn't like? Is there anything that you DID like? Did you play any of the games listed under 'inspiration' in my OP? Did any aspects or components of them appeal to you? If so, what specifically? Can you explain 'the D&D brand becoming less...

The three core books retail for $105.00 and contain a total of 800 plus pages. This hypothetical 4E board game does not simply 'dress it in different clothes', but rather puts out a 'barely clothed' version with regards to rules, as well as a reduced price point. Quite a few people I know who...

Speaking as someone who never got to play this, how was the game played [like, what were the rules and stuff]? What were the things you enjoyed about dungeon? What 'fiddly bits' were included? What could have been improved in your opinion? Were there any other games that had similar elements...

Aye; Modern20, True20, or Star Wars Saga are all good bases for designing 'modern2.0'.

Waaay back in the day when my friends and I played heroquest, the problem was 'same board, same monsters, same play', so yeah, a 4E board game would need more than 'just the dungeon'. I think skill challenges and themed expansion packs, as well as some very diverse 'quests' could accomplish this...

Nothing wrong with that. A question, though; what do you think of the new 4E starter set and keep on the shadowfell? Do you think the starter set is 'good at' introducing new people to 4E D&D? Same question concerning keep on the shadowfell. What products do you think wotc should make to get new...

Fair enough. Alright. When you play D&D, do you use any physical accessories such as dungeon tiles, minis, or anything to keep track of pc's abilities such as cards? If you do, would you like an option to buy a whole bunch of said accessories in one package? It would be the same quick start...

I strongly prefer standup paper minis to counters for pretty much the same reason. What I ended up doing was buying PIG's 'disposable heroes' [not the 'statix' ones], and just as soon as I get access to a color laser printer, i'll make a paper army! The price was nice too. Wish they had more...

Would I be correct in understanding this as "I would NOT buy it to use as a board game? What would it take for something like this to appeal to you, buy, and play as a board game? Do you feel that it would NOT add to the D&D pnp tabletop game, nor would it aid in bringing in new D&D players...

Forked from: Why the D&D Miniature Line Failed... So, we were discussing why and whether or not the miniature line failed, and eyebeams and I seem to agree that wotc may benefit from expanding the brand of D&D into something with board and/or wargame elements. My take is, i'd love it if...

I've heard of dragonstrike, and it's kinda sorta similar in a lot of ways to what i'm talking about, but I think dungeon tiles would be better than an actual board [more customization, plus opportunity for expansion packs], and it needs more minis and furniture. Are you saying 'hey, here's a...

An 'official' dungeons and dragons descent-style-and scale board game with tiles, little treasure chests, barrels, crates, LOTS of minis, trap cards, equipment cards, power cards, monster cards, etc... would be nice! I was kinda thinking the same thing on the first page, but I called them...

You know, I pretty much agree. The only minis I have are from some of the 'black dragon' 3.x basic sets that I picked up cheap at hastings, and like three or four boosters. I like the minis in the basic sets that I bought because they were 'common' bad guys, there were quite a few [when you buy...

Forked from: [4E] power card displays vs. single decks Sonyuu's comment in another thread regarding the 'official' power cards got me wondering about various accessories and supplements that are bought. Me personally, for 4E, I currently have [my main reason for buying/using is listed in...

Ah! Okay, I think I understand you now. What you're saying is "since there is only one product number for the display box, the display box includes one pack for each class; IF the display box had multiple product numbers, OR if there were multiple display boxes with different product numbers...
