Funnily enough, for me, when I started playing in 2nd edition, we used to play that every damage was a physical injury, but that’s what brought a logical gap to fill, forcing me to make some mental gymnastic to justify it. For me, making every damage a physical injury didn’t make a lot of sense...

Maybe that’s because in my group we always favored low level adventure, but leveling up, while fun, is pretty much at the bottom of the reasons why we play. So even I were playing in a game where I would need to get to a particular moment in the story to gain a level, it would never stop me to...

Not from my experience. You can still give a level as a reward even if the quest was not part of the main one, I know I did. In my current campaign, the players decided to stop to help a village and ended up exploring a dungeon, something I did not prepared at all. I still gave them a level at...

To expand on the monster design. Since monster levels were tied the XP value they gave, it was easily possible to take a high level monster and recreate it at a lower level as an Elite or Solo monster. So if we take the giants for exemple, a Standard Stone Giant was level 14, or worth 1000xp...

Monster design in 4e was for me a revelation. Not only were they easy to build an encounter with thanks to monsters having level for balance (with the ability to easily change their level if you need to) and roles and types to ensure diversity in the encounters, but more importantly, they were...

Of all the criticism of 4e, the one saying that there is no roleplay or that you can’t roleplay is the one that I’ll never get… You can roleplay just as much as you can in any other editions! All the rules you need are there, it’s not because 4e has more extensive rules about combat that...

Pretty much this. The possibility has been here for a long time, just like many other monster race. Wanna play a giant? Here’s the Goliath! Wanna play a dragon? Here’s the Dragonborn! A demon you say? Well, look no further, here’s the Tiefling! An orc? How about we meet in the middle with a...

I suspect that since Keep on the Shadowfell was the first module release, even before the PHB if I recall, it’s one pf the reason why a part of the community thought that 4e was just about combat… if it would have been my introduction to the edition, I could have felt this way too… luckily, we...

To be honest, I didn’t knew it existed since I’m not really interested in 5e (as a DM) but now wished they made one for 4e! 😅 I might end up buying it and see what I can take from it!

You were replying to my message about it, so now I’m really confuse about what was your point…

Well, you seems to assume that nobody wanted a book about giants so yeah, I can only assume that you are basing this assumption based on your own personal preference and anecdotal evidence (you never seen someone specifically said that they want a book about giants hence nobody wants it). The...

Did it sold or not? Were you forced to buy it in any way? There is a demand for books about dragon, why not about giants? If you are not interested in giants, do you feel like you’re missing out on anything?

How dare a company try to sell me a product I might be interested in... Shame on them. If a company stop selling products then they don't make money, and if they don't make money then they can't pay their employee, which means they can't produce new product anymore which means the game stop...

I'll start a new campaign at the end of january (just need to wrap up my current one first) and was thinking about running Keep on the Shadowfell at first. I never ran pregen module and wanted a more dungeoncrawling feel at first, try it with 4e. I gave up the idea and will run a sandbox...

If I remember correctly, the DC was for attribute test. When it was a skill test, you were suppose to add 5 to the difficulty level to compensate for the possible training, which is why the DC from the first DMG were considered too difficult. The math for 4e pretty much always considered a...

The Psionic classes... I have such a love hate relation with them... Back in 2nd edition when I started playing DnD, me and my group were not fans of psionics... we felt they didn't quite fit in our vision of medieval fantasy and they looked pretty strong, so we felt they were more for the...

Maybe you missed the first post where I talk about it. The problem is not that he hate 4e or that he thinks it doesn’t feel like DnD, this I don’t care. It’s that it was unrelated to the question of the OP. The OP said that he was looking for video to learn about 4e, not what people thought...

A little update about the facebook thread I talked about earlier, a new message pop up! « Forget about 4e, play 3.5 or 5e instead. thumbs up emoji I’ve played 4e and it doesn’t feel like DnD compared to 2nd, 3rd or 5e. It’s like the Windows 8 of WotC. » So constructive…

Yep, it's been 15 years and yet... just from a post someone made a week ago in a DnD group on Facebook. The guy said that he wanted to learn about 4e and was looking for recommendation about good french video to watch because he can't find some. Here's some of the answers he got (translated from...

Sadly, in these days and age, for some, it is too much to ask…
