D&D Day

Well, sorry for not writing yesterday, too much work.

I enjoyed D&D Day lots.

The demo campaing was nice and balanced, the DM was a nice person, the group played great, and even the snack was good.

4E rules seemed nice, although making characters is probably more complicated... haven't checked yet, because I won a free Player's Handbook, but I'll pick it up until tomorrow.

Middle of campaing:


Boss fight:


Mission complete:


Dragon food:


Dragon-looting time!


A great day indeed. Hopefully I'll join a 4E campaing soon.

Btw, I was playing the human fighter (officially Kelric, Male Human Fighter), and also won a miniature dwarf figure (haven't checked what he's supposed to be).

Freaked out

I don't know wheter to laugh or cry...



Just to get that off my system, here's something to prepare for tomorrow:

Rants

Not even 2 days after the Alara anouncement, and the official topic is getting more than 800 replies, boards everywhere are filled with topics discussing it, and even UG Madness has issued it:



Too late to go back, but we still have to see have to see how many players MtG has left.

Changes as of Shards of Alara

Regarding today's announcement:

1. Less cards per set: good, more manageable, and HOPEFULLY less craps.

As I side note, I also started directly within a set (Judgment mainly), and skipped core sets.

2. New rarity: I don't really care

I don't play other TCGs (in real life), so I don't even know what their rarity is.

3. Lands in boosters: I don't like this...

I see the tournament packs are not listed anywhere in the article... I'll have to wait for the fatpack details to see where I'll get my land collection.

4. Theme decks into Intro Packs: sounds like a nice change

Anyways, I'm not into Theme decks, unless the main mechanic is appealing. My first was Morph Mayhem, before that I played with other people's decks, and I liked the way it worked. My only other precon was Dimir Intrigues, because I really wanted to try out milling strategies.

5. Multicolored 'walker: about time they returned

As a fatpack buyer, I suppose the respective novel will be replaced with the correspoding new storyline product. But there are 4 storyline products, and 3 sets, so that means core sets will get the filler one?
