D&D 4E New 4e Info! GAMA Tradeshow Scoop

[Kordeth]

What he said.


Personally, I'm hoping we'll be able to find out for sure now whether or not there are any metallic dragons in the first MM. There's a bit of confusion there, if you ask me, because on the one hand, we have Massawyrm's review, which says they're not in it, but on the other hand, we have WotC saying every Desert of Desolation mini will be in the MM ... and that set includes a copper dragon. So which is it? Are there or aren't there any metallic dragons in the MM?

I thought they said every DoD mini except one would be in the 4E MM.

One other key bit of info -- all but one of the monsters in Desert of Desolation will appear in the 4th Edition Monster Manual. We'll also provide updated skirmish stat cards (available for download) for all the minis in Desert of Desolation, letting you use these minis with those in the upcoming D&D Minis Game arriving next April. More details on this are coming soon.

Copper Dragon, I'm looking at you....

EDIT: The only other one they might be talking about is Bruenor Battlehammer--pretty sure named FR NPC good guys won't be showing up in the 4E MM. But then, I wouldn't consider him a "monster," so my money's still on the copper dragon being the one that's not in the MM.

Gleemax poster "Tanus" requested 4e information requests for when he attended the GAMA Tradeshow. He returned sucessfuly. Emphasis mine.

See link for more details.

Thanks for that I love this...

Ok, multiclassing is done entirely through feats. You take one feat to multiclass and gain a power from that class, and then take additional feats to take more powers from the class.

But I simply can't get Gleemax to work. Could you post the entire thing?

<I effing hate Gleemax, it never works.>

That's what they said at first, but lately they've been saying that they're all going to be in the first MM ... As evidenced here:

And remember, all Desert of Desolation creatures will appear in the 4th edition D&D Monster Manual, and you'll be able to download their updated stats for the new D&D Miniatures rules in January 2008!

I seem to recall reading it in a few other places as well. Unless they've just made a mistake and forgot about the "all but one" bit, then according to WotC the copper dragon is supposed to be in the first MM ...

I posted most to all of it. If it makes any difference, it is in the WotC Forums, not the actual Gleemax blog things. I was trying to use the "politically correct" name for the forums.

Wow. I'm surprised no one's cottoned on to this thread yet. That's some excellent information!

Might need to change the thread name, didn't make a lot of sense to me but I had a peak 'GAMA Attendee's info gained from actual 3 core rulebooks' or something...

Cool info though, thanks for the linky

Good call. I changed it.

sweet!

sweet!

Don't you mean "sweet as"?

 

[small pumpkin man]

It means "to take a liking to."

I've always understood that to "cotton on" means to notice or understand, while to "cotten to" means take a liking to.

Nah, that is just excessive!
