Das wird ein schöner Sommer

[Berandor]

Das Gift Set ist 10 cent teurer als die einzelnen Bücher...

Unter den Umständen muss man sich das gut überlegen. Aber zum Glück kommen gleichzeitig auch die "D&D Premium Dice" raus. Stell dir vor du kaufst dir die vierte D&D Edition aber hast dann keine kompatiblen Würfel. Horror, vor allem ohne verfügbare Konvertierungshilfe.

[Silas]

Das Gift Set ist 10 cent teurer als die einzelnen Bücher...

Die Frage ist nur, wie dieses "handsome slipcase" ausschaut. Vielleicht ist es ja was edleres und nicht einfach ein Fetzen Karton.   :roll:

Für 10 cent, kann man tolle Kartons kaufen (auch wenn die Cartoons dadurch nicht besser werden...)

[Zanan]

H1 ... Orcus - Kleriker ... na toll. Chris Perkins und all die Goathead-Liebhaber werden sicher im Kreis hüpfen. Wie man immer wieder denselben Mist verzapfen kann ... bei 600+/- Abyssal Lords.

Ein DM Schirm als Verpackung oder so...

[Thalas]

Das sie jetzt Posterkarten den Abenteuern beilegen, erhöht für mich die Chance, dass sie auch wieder Posterkarten den Quellenbänden der Kampagnen-Sets beifügen *hoff*

Dem 4E-Kampagnenset "FR" soll angeblich eine Posterkarte beiliegen.

tschau
hewi

[Hedian]

Das ist ja wohl auch das Mindeste, was man von einem Kampagnen-Set erwarten darf.

[Archoangel]

...offensichtlich legen sie auch wieder größeren Wert auf Abenteuer. Das ist ja eigentlich nicht schlecht , aber irgendwie befürchte ich da doch eher Plot-Low Hack`n`Slash High Module.

[Scurlock]

Die Abenteuer klingen nach Hack&Slash, ohne großen Sinn und Verstand. Insbesondere gilt das für H2,  und bei dem Stichwort "Living Dungeon" verspüre ich ein leichtes Unwohlsein.
Interessant finde ich auch, dass schon vier Monate nach dem Basisregelwerk die erste Regelerweiterung für den Kampf veröffentlicht wird.

[Thalas]

Ich denke, dass das Martial Power wohl das Pendant zum Alles über den Kämpfer bzw. Handbuch des Krieges sein wird. Das wäre dann nichts ungewöhnliches.
