WotC_Shoe: He DM's, but his pc's don't fight!

Ding ding ding, the candidate has guessed right.

Well, that's better than just "Kill, Kill, Kill" which would be "KKK" in English... and that's just not good at all.

Death, Death, Death....

"Cake or death!"
"Cake please"
"Alright, here ya go"

*next person*
"Cake or death!"
"Cake"
"uhm, ok"

*next person*
"Cake or death"
"Cake please"
"Look we're all out of cake"
"Oh what, so I get to choose 'or death'?"

Something like that

4e?

in before "But you could do that in 3e!"

My first post on ENWorld I believe. This isn't meant to be sarcastic at all, and maybe someone else already pointed it out (didn't read every post), but how do we know this is a 4e session?? I went to the original link and don't see any indication of it being 4e. I've not tested 4e yet, but am very familiar with 3x, and I didn't see any references to this be 4e related. In fact, I've run similar encounters many times in 3e. Maybe it's 4e because of where he posted on gleemax - not that familiar with that site yet.

It is a legitimate question, however. What, if anything, is differentiating this situation from the same situation under 3e rules?

another legitimate question is does this sound like D&D to you?

It certainly sounds like D&D to me. I think this is a good step in showing that 4e is still D&D, not wow. I play a lot of wow, these options aren't there in that game. This wasn't an article about crunch and differences in 3e and 4e, it was a display of how D&D is D&D in 4e.

Sorry if someone else already said this, I ran out of time to read the entire thread.
