    D&D 4E Revisiting Reavers of Harkenwold

    I've always felt that there is no connection between Reavers and Madness. How did you handled that?

    There is also an update for the warlock, that wasn't published in the Dragon Magazines.

    D&D 4E D&D 4E fans: what do you like about 4E?

    I also forgot this, lol. Psionics in 4e are really integrated into the world lore. You know why they exist and their place in the world. They are their own stuff, well defined, not just "psychic magic".

    I guess that what they wanted to say with this was: "fiction (as I think it should be) doesn't matter"

    D&D 4E Nentir Vale lore pdfs for the uninitiated DM?

    Nope, sorry. That is the only version of the map I have. The original one disappeared years ago, when my old computer kicked the bucket.

    That's your fantasyland. And that's is ok. But my sources of inspiration for my fantasyland seem to be different from the ones people here draw inspiration from.

    D&D 4E D&D 4E fans: what do you like about 4E?

    Another thing to add to the Nentir Vale list of virtues, it's that it has lots of lore and information despite how small it is. While it was intended to be the starting point for a campaign, and there is advise for what to do once the characters grow powerful and want to go to explore the rest...

    D&D 4E Ben Riggs' "What the Heck Happened with 4th Edition?" seminar at Gen Con 2023

    And it's not keeping with the fiction that superhuman (or superelfy, or superdwarf, etc.) adventurer can lift extraordinary weights? Run faster than anyone? Crush rocks with their hands? Slice in half a single drop of water with their sword with a swift movement? I guess my expectations from...

    Nope. He just rewinds time by flying contrary to the Earth's rotation... Again, fantasyland.

    D&D 4E Ben Riggs' "What the Heck Happened with 4th Edition?" seminar at Gen Con 2023

    Bad example. D&D characters are considered to be strongest/more dexterous/etc. than the average commoner. An 18 in str basically means the fighter is almost superhuman, Comic book wise super human. And this is specially true in 4e, were it is stated in the flavor that adventurers are special...

    D&D 4E Nentir Vale lore pdfs for the uninitiated DM?

    Here is the map from my campaign, if you still need a map. The map 90% canon. I mean, all places are canonical, and the Nentir Vale and the Dragondown Coast's locations for these places are canon as well. However, since 4e adventures and sourcebooks never gave us exact locations for some...

    D&D 4E Ben Riggs' "What the Heck Happened with 4th Edition?" seminar at Gen Con 2023

    You never see Aragorn, Legolas or Gimli training. They are already these baddass motherf*** who can take an army of orcs singlehandedly. You can infer that they trained at some point of their lives, but they don't need to train now. This can be applied to almost all characters in Western...

    D&D 4E Ben Riggs' "What the Heck Happened with 4th Edition?" seminar at Gen Con 2023

    I guess this is another example of preconceptions about how stuff works. I grew watching anime, so one of my preconceptions is that combat type characters, such as the D&D characters, need time to train. From there, logic says that they need a time to rest, a time for sharing with loved ones, a...
