What's the scoop on pregen characters for Worldwide Game Day 2008?

Thanks guys!

Is this info up online somewhere, or are you all posting from the actual kits?

All of the character figs are repaints.

Really? That sounds nice, IIRC the figs from last years game day were no repaints and just exactly the same as the standard DDM minis

How about the other three characters? What are they like?

Been reading thru the module for DnD Gameday. It's 4 encounters long.
But I like it. It's a good example of what a demo should look like.

I don't think I'm really happy with it. I'm going to add a few minions in the mix and I think I might just ambush the PCs after they are done with the adventure. Depends on the time it takes, though.

I'm running the damn thing twice, so I have to shake it up a bit. Maybe I'll change one of the fighters to a minotaur.

The actual kit. I'm a volunteer DM for D&D Game Day.

It's nice of you guys with the kits to post this info!

I'm curious about the rogue - are half-elves no longer filled with suck?

Adventure?

What's the adventure called for this gameday? Does anyone know? I've heard three different adventures - including Keep on the Shadowfell, which seems a bit long, and players have had a couple weeks to browse through it.

Happy gaming.

The adventure is "Into the Shadowhaunt" and it's got something I wish KotS had more of: Lots of Traps. I really like it.

So, no error. Anyone seen a real error?

I am not certain if this is actually an error, but on page 3 where it mentions if A Certain Creature in Encounter #2 is required to make an unexpected Insight Check, you'd use it's total Wisdom Check modifier (the second number in parenthesis after it's Wisdom score). But shouldn't you add half of it's level to that score for the total modifier?

Just checkin'!
