[QUOTE="Xorn, post: 4121641, member: 61231"] I appreciated splicing in the DDM rules to fill the gaps, kind of like Jurassic Park, but I really wasn't happy with the concealment (and by inclusion of the mechanic, blindness/invisibility). I scowered for an official "I was at DDXP and concealment was +2 to all defenses" post, and I finally found them, two of them--here on EnWorld.Org. Good enough for my playtests, anyway. It just "feels" right, and if I can say anything about playing 4E, it just [i]feels[/i] right to me. As far as defenses, the first handout mentions there are four defenses now: AC, Fort, Ref, and Will. So I take all defenses to mean all 4. [url=http://forums.eugee.net/viewtopic.php?t=92]Xorne's Revised 4E Fan Rules Summary[/url] This is just a collection of all the info I've seen posted on a little forum I keep for my friends, the only thing I've changed myself is the Concealment/Blindness/Invisibility, and the note on Blast (x). I didn't mind this at all, I actually kind of liked it. :) It led to some hilarity when I let them read only 2 or 3 words of the graffiti. Granted I totally changed Meepo from a coward into an opportunistic bastard. At least till he gets bloodied! I just wanted the secret door to be a reward, instead of setting them up to face Nightscale and Meepo together. [b][i]Reloaded[/i] update: I've started on the new maps for [i]Raiders of Oakhurst Reloaded[/i]. Expect it to take some time, as I'm trying to expand not only the current portion of the adventure, but also add other adventuring areas, flesh out the thorp, and provide some background for some interesting roleplay opportunities. (The maps will suck, like the original -- I'm no artist -- but perhaps when I get them complete some kind soul *cough*Xorn*cough* will volunteer to make then nice.). My process is: conceive concepts, draw maps, flesh out areas, stat monsters, revise, revise, revise post to EN World. If there are any special requests for [i]Reloaded[/i], please post them![/QUOTE] As long as you scan in your maps dark enough for me to see the GRID this time. :) You have no idea how long I kept laying down and cropping a grid over that to figure out the dimensions. :) Better yet, where it says "5ft = 1 square", DRAW the square next to it. :) Anyway, I'm just giving you a hard time, I'd be completely honored to make maps for the revised Raiders of Oakhurst.
