I've taken a look at the Chaos Scar stuff and I do like it - so that will probably be where we start. Thanks

I'm going to be starting a new 4E campaign for 4 - 6 youngsters (ages 8 - 12). I'll also have the father of two of the children playing to help guide things along. He and his son have played 4E before, and I have played D&D with him for 20 years. Does anyone have a recommendation of one or two...

I'm not the DM in the game where the changes will have the most impact. As soon as the online tools get updated with the changes its going to be hard to reconfigure things back the way they were. Plus anything after MM3 is going to be using the updates.

They are already exciting enough - boredom was not a problem. I am more concerned that these changes will turn our game into one encounter - extended rest, one encounter - extended rest, one encounter - extended rest... For my group, reducing the number of rounds a combat takes (because lower...

Well, the people in the game I play in are casual gamers - Level+0 challenges already were challenging - now they are going to be murderous. The rules updates weren't made to account for those type of gamers. They were made for the gamers I have in the game I run. I expect the number of dead PCs...

I know what it will mean for the group I play with - one encounter and then extended rest, rinse and repeat. Most of the people I play the game with are casual gamers, the group is not optimized, and we seem to get hit on a roll of 3 or 4 regularly.

Hmm - not happy with the change to free actions. While not terribly common, the free attack had its uses for my Rogue with the Two-Weapon Opening feat plus powers that let him get in more than one attack in a round. A lot of the updates make my group feel like collateral damage, they are made...

I suggest that if a post appears too long, you either ignore it or, if the topic really does interest you, ask the OP to give you the condensed version My own forum viewing habit is to ignore any post that includes elements that I find make it hard to read. If it is something a particular...

How well do these things hold up to repainting?

Got mine tuesday + 1 for our DM for his birthday. Then we had to scheme with the store owner to explain why they hadn't "come in yet". Just gave it to him tonight. I also found out that one other in our group got one - so, of the 4 available at our 2 FLGSs my group owns 3. We're gonna hafta...

As DM I handwave it all - anything about the PCs that is not supposed to be secret I assume is known by the other PCs. As a player, having my imaginary character talk about an imaginary background to the other player's imaginary characters just isn't my kind of gaming. Being in character and...

Only 1 dead PC since we started playing 4E (we started the week it was released) - and we just hit level 20. The character died when he betrayed the party and the other PCs took him down.

Yes then and yes now.:lol:

The new campaign won't be Savage Tide - that's what I'm running now. It is also what got me thinking about pacing. Previously. I had run the Age of Worms, and while difficult to do, it was nowhere as difficult as the Savage Tide AP to increase the time that it played out over. The problem I am...

Thanks for the posts so far - I've been away and haven't been able to respond till today - more later. A published AP may not be the way to go. Which isn't so bad, I wanted to use a converted Gates of Firestorm Peak anyways, I can build a campaign around that. Thinking about this does make me...

While this may be true, I guess I'm looking for something that mirrors fictional characters - swordsman that study for decades and are still tough as nails in their 40s and still out fight the youngsters. Pacing the game to make this happen is where I'm having difficulty.

In a few months I will begin DMing a new campaign. Currently, I've been DMing the Savage Tide adventure path. The problem I have been having is one of pacing. The PCs are leveling too fast in game time. I don't mind the characters leveling every 2-3 sessions - but I want those sessions to cover...

All with the exception of the following five: Insight, Perception (for the majority of the group), Stealth (for my rogue), Knowledge Religion, Knowledge Arcana.

Greyhawk: Love It - First setting I played in/ran - Love it, mostly for nostalgic reasons. Forgotten Realms: Don't Care - Longest running campaigns I played in were in FR - but I never really cared enough to learn more about the setting than I needed to play. It also had to many characters that...

My FLGS is getting 4 of them - and one is mine :)
