Why do they need that? Is there some battle that has to be won? Why are people so eager to see something fail?

LFR is the encounter-grind mentality. It's less about the story and more about completing the adventure for the treasure parcels at the end. That was my point.

If you're letting your players take extended rests at any point they choose in 4e--You're doing it wrong. Though, in 3e (and even 2e) I always remember getting pissy when my players wanted to quickly set up prior to going into combat. Their sole objective was to take the time to buff up...

I'm curious to see what the future brings. With more and more technology making tradition print products available on ipads, phones, and other devices, some new digital format is likely to spawn (advanced PDF type document). WotC has definitely been testing the waters in this regard. It will be...

Can't give XP. Great tips.

You're confusing the two. Organized Play represents several different types of events that people can participate in at their FLGS. Lair Assault is one designed for exactly the reasons you gave. The goal is to win. I never expected it to be all things to all people, but some will love it where...

I had all of the NPCs stay back and use similar tactics to the PCs. It forced the PCs in and I was able to slaughter them. KarinsDad, I hope the PCs had fun. It took a bit of adjusting for me to realize it was me vs. them, and not me presenting a world and story. Lair Assault should be...

This entire thread got derailed to game stores and the census bureau? :?

The VTT is from another company. They're not developing it in house. So.... >_>

I'll buy your book back Retreater. Just forward me the receipt. You seem hell-bent on arguing against anything anyone presents anyways. By the amount of time you've spent on this thread, I can estimate this has been a traumatic life experience for you. Edit: Just PM me the details.

People have been skipping content straight from the books anyways and have been waiting for it to appear in the online updates to the CB. It makes sense that the books support the story, flavor, and fluff while DDI provides the brunt of the crunch.

I, too, love reading about how others are running through adventures. Keep it up!

wow, you read it and honestly think it is just a book of plot hooks??

I'm glad you guys had fun running Calastryx!

I use extended rests sparingly. As an analog, I sometimes get slammed with projects. Once one is finished, another has already overlapped or is just beginning. I usually don't have time to sit back and kick my feet up. This happens over the course of months. I would say that I have not...

lol -- I thought the same thing :) "No, we'll not deal with your kind around here!" WHAP! "Okay, on second thought--what you're saying does make sense. Let's chat."

Chad and James both have extensive experience as designers. I'm not sure your inference is valid to improving the playtest. I highly encourage you to participate in the dialog of improving what was presented. Logical and quality suggestions are sure to help improve the final document, yes?

A reminder that this is a playest document. No need to make personal attacks.

It's an open playtest document. It's probably best to treat it as such. This is remarkable for WotC to do. Please don't kill it for everyone.

The companion rules in the DM2 might be worth looking at.
