We played KotSF last night, we had 4 players. The Warlord, Rogue, Fighter, and the Paladin. We didn't finish the adventure however we had a lot of fun. My wife who occasionally plays tried out the fighter and caught on to the rules in no time, and she isn't a rules person when it comes to D&D by far.
Here are some of my opinion about the adventure and 4e so far.
#1. Yeah it feels like D&D.
#2. 4e is so WoW? Not even remotely close. My group is full of WoW players, none of them felt that way.
#3. 4e is like a CCG. This has got to be the stupidest complaint of all of this process
#4. It takes a few a while to get out of 3e mode, having kobolds that had a lot of hit points was odd to say the least.
#5. Marking wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be.
#6. 1 hit point minions are going to take some time to get used to. The players would get pissed to blow an encounter power (one guy blew a daily) to find out that the kobold was a minion.
#7. Overall 4e played smoothly, without much looking up, there were a few things the quick start rules didn’t cover, but a lot smoother than I anticipated for our first time.
#8. The idea that 4e characters don’t run the risk of death is garbage, no one died, however there were some beat up characters. Dead would be easy
