[QUOTE="Gothmog, post: 4504814, member: 317"] Hi Ari, So far, 4e has been a blast to run, with few, if any difficulties. I'm running two campaigns, one is at 6th level, the other at 4th. A few things I do to help me and speed up play: * I got some poker chips and painted them different colors (one for ongoing damage, one for dazed, one for stunned, one for dying, etc). Then, when a character is suffering from a condition during a combat, I put the chip under the base corresponding to its condition. Makes it easy to keep track of. (I stole this from Savage Worlds). * I have a small whiteboard to track initiative on, and put it on the table in front of the players once a combat starts. It helps us to keep track of who goes when. * This one speeds things up for players: USE POWER CARDS with all relevant info on them for that PC's power. This greatly reduces book-flipping, and once an encounter or daily power is used, you just put it in a discard pile. Those are the three major things that helped to really streamline play. If I think of more later, I'll let you know. [/QUOTE]
