Weekend

Snagged 4th Ed on Friday - I’ve spent a fair number of hours since then poking and prodding at it for good or ill. It’s perfectly clear to me that the game is now designed specifically for the dungeon crawl, and that it’ll work nicely so long as you let the PCs enjoy their combat powers, since they cover 90% of the character sheet.

I have a few of the Expedition campaign guides - 3.5 conversions of 2nd ed campaigns. I started converting Expedition to Undermountain in order to get a good grip on the critters. It’s interesting, certainly. Designing good encounters is half the challenge - the other half is converting all the custom 3.5 critters to 4th, given a bit of numberhackery’s required.

Anycase, it looks like they’ve made an interesting tabletop successor to WoW, and something that I can enjoy tinkering with for a while. We’ll see how things go.
