[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 5052665, member: 63"] Whenever playing a new edition for the first time, it's a good idea to do a test run of the rules so that you don't start off a campaign on a bad foot. When I started my first 4e campaign, I got all sorts of stuff wrong, combat took forever, and the players looked bored. Having a pre-made campaign should make things easier, since you don't have to worry about poorly designed encounters. However, if you're running for only one player, I'm not quite sure how to balance the campaign, since I believe it assumes a party of 4 or 5. Either way, make sure you grok 4e before you jump in. Some changes from 3e might stick in your craw for a bit, but I've found that most players really like 4e. It was just me, as a 3e DM who loves to tinker with rules, that disliked the PC options. The DM side of 4e is kind of glorious. So easy to run. [/QUOTE]
