[...] Goodman on D&D 4e Posted on September 3, 2008 by David The first 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons products from Goodman Games, a prolific and well-regarded publisher of 3.5 adventures, should reach retailers this week. Included in the trio are two adventures and the Character Codex, a 16 page book of forms for recording every detail about a player’s character. The adventures are both designed for level one characters. Sellswords of Punjar, number 53 in the Dungeon Crawl Classics series, pits the players against the Beggar-King and a horde of shadow-horrors. Master Dungeons M1: Dragora’s Dungeon is the first in a new series specifically designed to provide greater challenge, and greater reward. For a preview of Dragora’s Dungeon, check out the Chatty DM’s campaign log. [...]

@Greywulf: Saw your post, thanks for the link. It truly was the best story building session we ever had.

@Artiz: I’m sorry man, I blame the Nicotine plugin I installed last month. As Tommi told me over chat, closed background is what creates the bunch of incompatible misfits that his the typical D&D party.

Having players contribute to creating this out of Game quest where they all met helped define the group and to partly address the ‘so why are we together again?’ syndrome.

Patriarch: Dude, I’ll get to that bridge when I cross it. One thing is for sure, I won’t go out of my way to kill fallen PCs. The adventure is geared with several possibilities to deal with failed combats… but my players are readers so I’ll stay discrete about that. You’ll know if and when a PC dies.

Reverend: Yeah, Eric (Cruger in the comments) has this knack of making WTF! characters from both the In-game and Out of game perspective. He’s our own private psychodrama instigator.

*sigh*…I remember a character named Fizban…the bugger lasted 2 sessions before we offed him…bastard tried to fly away with a few hitpoints left, but he didn’t count on Corn’s fishbow…that was one mighty scary fishbow…

*shudders*…

Fiendishly hard, huh? Let me know if you actually kill a character, and how you handle it. I've yet to have any PCs die in any of my 4e adventures (had plenty fall down, but they always got stood up before they struck out). Will you pre-load them with a some resurrection scrolls, make them roll new characters, or just hand-wave it and let them recover or never die in the first place?

You’re making me a Chatty’s addict!

I’m starting to use a similar character creation method, but since our most-frequent campaign started 3 years ago, it’s proven really difficult to interlace all backgrounds. Biggest problem, though, it’s the closed-background-symptom… We’ll be improving that too

Nice Nico’s story, again, yesterday; and waiting for the next Kobold Love issue!
