What were you having to keep track of when you say the 'appeal of keeping track of sometimes dozens of creatures in my head'? Swarms of rats are coming down the hallway. No need to keep track of where each individual rat is. If somebody lays down a burning hands, make a guess then how many...

My Basic Edition D&D, Orcs of Thar, Kobold laughs at you. Well, once he gets enough levels. Low hit die, ick!

The first two encounters were pretty easy for our party. We haven't gotten any further than that, but nobody has used more than two healing surges, no dailies have been used. the first encounter was almost a joke for them. The second one was more annoying, but still didn't hurt all that much...

How is it better to have a combat than an encounter? That's like complaining movies have scenes. pre-4th Ed: get description of room, ignore room for fight. kill monsters. search room for loot. check to next room. no interaction between montsers, rooms or other monsters, rooms. (any...
