Agreed with Alkiera. I think this close to the game I'd much prefer another MM sample or some more bits of info from Fallcrest or some power examples. Maybe a few previews with play examples or example plot lines that could give some unique fluff + crunch clues. Oh well... we're so close as it...

Would be nice to print out a copy for each player in my group. I think we'll prolly have 2 PHB for the whole group and the quick rules would be easier to manage as the first few sessions figure it out all out. Unlikely to happen, though.

I wonder if they'll be in the DMG... much like the NPC tables were that gave you the expected stuff for a random class NPC. I referenced that section frequently and would love to see a good 10 pages of back to back fluffless versions of each of the core races. Wouldn't necessarily be PC classes...

Johan Fieldson is spending all his time over in Greenplains blessing crops that are converted into residuum thus raising food prices for everyone else! Go find Johan and convince him this hurts the poor people of Fallcrest with the higher prices and also harms the environment more than crafting...

It is my understanding that Push/Pull/Slide are NOT moves, do not trigger opportunity attacks, and would not trigger dragonshield tactics. See page 5 of the quick-start included.

If you're concerned it is slowing down the game too much you could always house rule that it's a single attack & damage roll. The downside is the variance is greater for good or bad - but if you're consistent throughout the campaign it'll hurt with bad rolls as much as it'll help with a 20 and...

Will you tear them all open and skim each one for the outstanding questions and relevant rules to your campaign, moving from book to book and repeating? Will you begin with the PHB cover to cover, then move onto the DMG and MM? Will you jump around in the PHB trying to create a class you had...

QFT. I've canceled my preorders of H2 and H3 if they are of similar quality. I can't imagine this will last through more than a single run through intact for the price. If I had paid the full $30, I'd've been pretty upset rather than disappointed.

Yeah, Cleave+Minions makes me think of a character shouting "I am Cleave McCleaverson, Minion Killer Extraordinaire!" before rushing into a crowd and laying some serious waste. Also, we shouldn't be asking whether the player knows if that goblin is a minion or not. The goblin should be asking...

I've never been more excited for a DMG, that's for sure.

I guess right now I'm leaning against multiple characters. Maybe I could get some non-committing friends to control a friendly NPC character for big important boss battles but it does seem like it will scale easier than 3.5 the more I think about it. Probably would be useful to pick some classes...

I've been playing my recent game with two players. They also have a magical hound that is pretty good at tripping (to provide some crowd control when needed) and I've learned how to scale baddies a bit to try and keep things a bit balanced. While I plan on trying to expand the party (regain some...

Wow, I think Gnomes just got an early presence in my campaign as enemies! That "Fade Away" power is really neat.

That might work pretty well... ignore the initial multiclass feat but allow you to spend a feat to swap a power with the proper keyword associated with your diety from another class. Give you a little domain power so to speak .

Evil clerics? I wonder if there'll be anything in the book about that... The whole thing is easily house ruled, but I'm just curious how they're going to take that.

I'm starting the players in an unaligned sorta PoL region of the world. Each little town or village has a Tiefling benefactor that protects the town from the hordes of evil around and keeps things in check whenever any higher level or strange travelers come in. The Tieflings can be benevolent or...

Ooooh, lots of tid bits to get my mind working. I love the trap format, I can't wait to use some of these lovely things on my players. Can they just go ahead and make all the previews available now? Better yet... get me a copy of the books? Even just the PHB would be good enough for now, thanks...

So my questions: 1) When it says "Level" and the answer is "of the entire party" what does that mean? It implies sometimes levels will be specific? How do these encounters scale with level or is this just an XP thing. 2) Complexity 3 - any idea what this means? 3) Moderate DCs ... is this a...

That looks more like a dinosaur.

The more I read about how 4E is going to work the more useful I think the DMG will be...and that's a good thing.
