Having looked at it, I can't see anywhere where this type of game, or more specificly that very adventure couldn't be run in 4e. The combats are tactical. All the RP are RP. Nothing in that well written 3.5e adventure that seems at odds with what we have seen in 4e. All the cool mystery solving and surprises in a 4e version of that module would be exactly in the same place they were in the 3.5e version, namely in the RP portion of the game. My point of this ramble is, that if a very nice 3.5e module, one that I considered amazingly fun to play in, could at a glance be still viable in 4e, I can't see how this game has changed much from the RPG we love. Only the mechanics have changed, not the ability to weave story around those tactical events.</blockquote>
