I'm not a sandbox guy at all, but if I were in your position with those parameters, I'd focus a lot on the short-term on using random generators to fill things out a bit beyond what the PCs are likely to encounter in the next few sessions, then work with the players to decide what they want to...

Apparently we're all clamoring for it (5th item down): Exclusive Preview: Alliance 2011 Catalog : Critical Hits

I'll be there too! But not arriving until late Thursday. Hopefully can do some meetup stuff during the weekend. Also I'll be running at the DM Challenge, so you can definitely find me there.

I think after some more play you might change that opinion- it may have been abbreviated due to quick-start, but the Fighter's ability to stop monsters from moving (and hit them when they shift) is pretty awesome, and more defendery. That's why I love me some fighters. And glad to hear you had...

Email sent! And I think we're flexible on what game is run, in case there are more people floating around.

Can you move me from alt to the open spot please? Thanks.

They took it better than you might expect, actually- this partially has to do with the fact that we're light on Strikers, and many of the other players are pretty minmaxed in their other roles. And let me tell you, combats go much quicker when you have a PC that can regularly dish out over 100...

Some of the changes (orb especially) were a long time coming. However, Student of Caiphon was restricted to Warlock-only powers in this update, which completely changes the Avenger/Warlock/Student of Caiphon in my game. The build was crazy-strong and dealt more damage than the rest of the party...

+1 love for the Elan. I had tons of character concepts for them, though as was often the case with psionics, they were hard to integrate into the campaigns I was playing in. Kalashtar could be one replacement, but I liked the idea earlier of making them with Eladrin stats. Just add "doesn't...

It's cool, I'm not upset that it won't get to run here... I probably will get a chance at another con (considering how many I'm going to over the next few months) and I tend to shy away from D&D at cons too since I play it at home. Regardless, I blame madwabbit for everything.

Can you go ahead and mark my game canceled? Thanks.

With only one person signed up and less than 2 weeks to go, I'm going to say that this is CANCELED so I can try and find another game.

That would be awesome, and I don't mind at all being in a small game.

I almost always allow a short rest after a combat if the PCs ask for one, but will handwave the time requirement for what makes sense in the story. For example, when the villain ran and the PCs chased him, I allowed it to count as a short rest before they crashed into the next group of protectors.

Dang, I'm starting to think I'm never going to get to play Dread. And pickings for other games with openings (especially for 2) are slim...

This actually came up in our Eberron game last night- while a Rakshasa can disguise their hands, they might not be used to holding objects with their hands reversed, and so might look a bit clumsy while holding weapons.

Very cool idea, and I get what you're saying for wanting to do it. My campaign is in paragon and I'm looking forward to epic, but storywise, can't see myself running in the upper 20's, even if the sweet spot does work because I'm not sure I'm going to have every adventure be "kill another god."...

Having played it, I can tell you it works much, much better as cards than charts in a book.

I really liked that section on what martial characters do during a short rest- that seemed to seal the explanation to me.

It's true to an extent- there's a Wizard in my game specializing in ice and illusion magic that does a fair amount of this, but a "wall-based" wizard build appeals to me for some reason. Maybe because it reminds me of the game Centipede.
