[QUOTE="Grimstaff, post: 4558461, member: 34880"] Hey, Colonel! We were just talking about you over on the Necro boards... If you're doing a short session, I would recommend breaking out the DMG and whipping up your own scenario - one of the percs of 4E is that its so easy to put together fun, challenging encounters. You'll be surprised how fast and easy it is. I put together my first game of 4E for three players with an old hand-drawn map and a .pdf printout of preview monsters from the DDX - that great first session has become the basis for an entire megadungeon campaign! If you havn't gotten it yet, pick up the D&D introductory set - its only 15 bucks or so and collates all the monsters you need for groups level 1 through 5, along with a big sheet of counters and some dungeon tiles. Its a worthy set. Since you have KotS already, you could take the kobold caves portion and make that the goal of the session - seek out and destroy the kobold lair. Since you only have three players I would [I]strongly[/I] recommend halving monster hps. [/QUOTE]
