I was dozing off, then reread this. What does your system do that D&D Encounters doesn't? Are you playing or running D&D Encounters during this current season? The only thing D&D Encounters doesn't account for right now is rotating DMs. Which can be resolved by a given night's DM checking out...

Oh god... I'll be taking a nap.

What we need to settle this for once and for all is some science. Some god-and-gary-gygax-forsaking science. Now, I'm just a guy with a math degree so I don't actually know from real science. But to lay out my rough sketch we would need: * A DM who has only ever run 3.5 games to run 4 players...

Uh, hate to break it to you, but "It's dead, Jim". I'll believe the BS from XP10 when I see it.

I appreciate your respectful tone. And I think you're right. It was probably either cynical or stupid, but not both. Either way I was and am insulted. (Though "never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity", right?) I call it cynical, because--IMHO--to sell...

I don't think "sets" should have been used the way they were at all. And having the only two dragonborn minis be rare and released two months (if I recall) after the game was released, six months after they were spoiled as PHB1 races, is very much not OK. Those little pieces of plastic still...

But I can't help wish, as I sit to plan out how I'm going to spend the next three months rewriting the E-series of WotC adventures before they are in a shape fit to run as an RPG rather than an extended Descent/Heroquest session with my group, Perkins would be writing adventures now that Cordell...

D&D finally aligns with the org chart that has made M:tG so successful for so long.

No. But it's because I think random distribution is an incredibly cynical way to sell a requirement for a game. 4E all but requires a 1" grid and something to represent every participant once combat ensues. The analogy is perhaps overused, but is apt. It's like having to pay for random packs...

I do really like the way WotC has presented these adventures. Book one has high level overviews for the major areas and plot points. It also has DMG/MM-type info like new monster stat blocks, adventure hooks, artifact and magic item statblocks, and area-maps. Book two has lower-level details...

This is exactly the advice I was hoping for when I started the thread. And this is why I'm taking three months to prep the adventure path for my group. I started reading E1 in depth last night. A major failure I noticed right away was the first section: The player's are advised to do some...

Admin note: Prefacing a rude statement with 'with all due respect' doesn't make it un-rude. Please don't do it. With all due respect, it sounds to me like you are getting old, the world is changing around you, and you aren't dealing with it very well. Get some help, play your system of choice...

Did I unwittingly imply that the adventures present nothing but combat encounters? To be clear: E1 puts the party in the court of the Raven Queen, E2 in Sigil, and E3 with a spell jammer in the Abyss. The adventures culminate with the players choosing to allow the Raven Queen to be usurped or...

In the past week I've started digging into the E-series of epic-level adventures WotC has published for 4E: E1 Death's Reach E2 Kingdom of the Ghouls E3 Prince of Undeath (^ Links to Amazon that will make me rich if you click them.) I'll be running a group through these starting this fall...

If mearls does anything, I hope he gets monster tokens published. I've been playing the new edition of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay the past three weeks and Fantasy Flight Games has made Wizards of the Coast look completely inept with regards to PC, NPC, and monster representation on the...

Coincidentally, in the past week I've started digging into the E-series of epic-level adventures: E1 Death's Reach, E2 Kingdom of the Ghouls, and E3 Prince of Undeath. I'll be running a group through these starting this fall, after another player has finished running a Warhammer Fantasy...

Is it set in the generic D&D setting or the Forgotten Realms or other?

Is there a similar list somewhere of all of the promo adventures WotC has published for 4E, like the game day ones or Halister's Lost Apprentice from the new D&D Encounters thing?

Anyone have the stat block for that beholder?

More important than the system would be the adventures, IMHO. As a gamer, I want to see the next generation have an awareness that a role-playing game is more than killing things and taking their treasure. As a parent I don't want my kids participating in an activity where the default approach...
