Re starting 4e & Fantasy Grounds

Hi everyone. Just wanted to share my recent return to 4e. 3 years ago my Nentir Vale campaign (keep on the shadowfell) ended and we moved onto other games, but recently the gang wanted me to continue the 4e game.

So i went to Fantasy Grounds as we have used it for 5th Ed a lot, its a great system, very easy to use and highly automated. Because WOTC have now dropped all support for 4e I initially thought that that was it, no game. But The Trove has all the files PLUS Thunderspire Labyrinth all set to go (i just needed to find some good maps, thank you google and Pyromancer).

I have also been able to get the Character Creator and Adventure Tools, fantastic tools.

In my web searches I also discovered a campaign setting I did not know about. The Chaos Scar. A brilliant collection of stand alone adventures in a land just West of the Nentir Vale. I used an adventure from this setting to kick start the new game and its going great.

4e gets a lot of hate, but we have found 5th to be very limiting when levelling, in 4e you get a lot of choices and FG handles the combat superbly.

Long live 4e
