More 4th edition Dungeons & Dragons combat! This is the “big” fight against the Kobolds and their Dragon Priest leader, and runs a bit longer than our last episode. As our group gets the hang of 4e, we have more discussion around what it all means in the fiction of the game world, where to get maps and minis, and what we like best.

Totally diggin your podcasts here. I think I commented on one of the early Moldvay sessions, but just another comment here that I’m enjoying these very much.

I preferred the Moldvay recordings over these, but not on any fault of yours or the other players/DM. It’s just more theatrical (as I think you put it) hearing old-school dungeon crawling over the strategic 4e battles, when it comes to podcasts.

Still these are great, and I appreciate your efforts in putting them together and offering them up for the public to check out. Cool!

Oh yeah one more thing (crank the nerd alert volume to high!): what dice tower/boot are you using? Is it a commercial one or a custom job? I just dig all of the details, especially when it comes to props and such, so I intrigued. I used to use a tower, and now sometimes bring my “lucky” dice cup to sessions. Some folks just look at it and wonder WTF….until they start rolling bad….ha!

Thanks!

I built a dice tower out of foamcore using this tutorial. Rob (our 4e DM) made a second one and brought it to our game last Saturday!

There’s definitely a difference in focus between the editions. The combat in Moldvay stays very radio-theatre style, while 4e really needs the visuals of the battlemat and miniatures. They’re both good games – it just depends on what your preferences are.
