Final Post
I believe this to be my final post for this site. Thanks to everyone who sent in the kind words and posted the kind messages over on EN World. I wrote up a preview article of 4th edition that I plan to send Morrus’s way once I’ve had someone edit it. I’ll likely post it here as well. In summary, I had a great time and I can’t wait to play 4e. The Wizards folks were great...
dnd.meetup.com
Stephen Wendell sent me an email with some solutions to the problem I brought up earlier. He mentioned that as an English speaker in France, he was in one of the more difficult situations for finding a good gaming group in the nearby area. His solution was to form a group using Meetup.com called “English-speaking Roleplaying Gamefreaks, Paris”. Meetup apparently has two different...
Home again
Ddxp is over! Time for ice cream.
Crits
Critting on dailies is the new 4e definition of awesome.
Geletenous cube defeated!
We killed Andy’s geletenous cube - an elite mob. He mentioned that the delve monster sheets may be online! I also talked to Rob Heinsoo and the fellow who wrote City of the Spiderqueen about NPC and monster advancement. Npcs advance as monsters not pcs and monsters advance by shifting into elite versions of the normal mob. Building npcs in the fly can be as fast as a couple of minutes. Same...
Woot
A delve run by Andy Collins!
Late Start
We’re planning on doing a little gaming this Sunday morning but we’re going to get a late start so it may be just one or two delves. My hope is to meet more gamers overall - folks I will see at Gencon or perhaps around the Northern Virginia area. Yesterday I did an gamer interview with Gamer Zero and Blue. When they asked me what I fear most with 4e I mentioned my greatest fear and the...
Heading home
Three delves and a run through Sembia. Not a bad day. As hard as the creatures have been, I worry that level one guys will be too easy. Of course, the power curve may be a lot more shallow.
Rogue shadar-kai
This rogue fades in and out. When he comes back, his sword is on fire and hits with a 10 point fire hit ongoing.
Skill encounter details
Someone on enworld wanted more details on the skill encounter. Our first encounter was a traditional battle against city guards and a rogue who bribed them. When we had dispatched them a whole pile of new guards rushed our way. We were given the chance to roll skill checks against a variety of DCs of varying levels including easy(10) medium 15 and hard 20 different skills did different things. The...
We defeated "escape to cormyr"!
Sixth level chainfighter be damned! I hit him with a crit “cascade of light” for 38 damage. Instant kill!
Skill-based encounters
In our sembia adventure we just had a whole series of skill checks that followed our whole party as we were chased by the town guards. Barrels overturned. Walls climbed. People bullshitted with streetwise. Our victories and defeats all led to a final conclusion. It was awesome.
Yay! I got interviewed by Blue and Gamer Zero
Dungeon delve day three
In line with friends for our third day of dungeon delves.
