[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 4023837, member: 467"] KINGSBARROW: A Point of Light 4E Setting Project Start Date: 01-30-08 INITIAL THOUGHTS I am very conflicted about Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition. While there are some ideas and mechanical aspects of the game I like, there are also many I don't. I had originally written the new edition off, but have come to the conclusion that the only way to know for sure whether 4E is for me is to run a game in it. As such, this project will ultimately be my “make it or break it” test for 4E. My intent is to create a mini-setting, a “point of light” and its surrounding darkness, that meets both the basic assumptions of 4E (as I know them, based on previews and leaked info) and my own preferences as a DM. My ultimate goal is to have a setting and adventures that are ready to go once launch day hits, or shortly thereafter, so that I may give 4E an honest try before I ultimately decide whether or not to embrace grognardism. Initially, I will be painting in broad strokes – a necessity due to the limited amount of specific information available. I will add finer detail as more information comes available. Where setting aspects of 4E are appropriate, I will use them. Where they are inappropriate, I will toss them and replace them with something of my own creation. I will invent and “borrow” as needed, or as it strikes my fancy as I have done with all my settings. Most of all, I will attempt to keep in mind that what I am creating is not a world for fiction, but one for gaming – nothing exists that doesn't serve as a springboard to adventure or at least make those adventures richer for the players. My progress is likely to intermittent and disorganized. This is just a function of my creative nature. I apologize in advance. [/QUOTE]
