First let me give you a backstory. The first time I was ever introduced to D&D, it was 4th edition, in fact my firs role playing board game ever, and really I don't consider it a board game, but well you know, in a way it is. It was scales of war, but the DM got tired and we never finished the AP and we moved onto 3.5 as the DM's new girlfriend took over and is making an awesome homebrew. I came in late and I was level 7 when I joined and it was a blast.
I'm not interested in Dming, but I am interested to see who in interested in playing or DMing a 4th edition AP or Module with 4th edition rules, as I miss those days.
I don't own many books from 4e, but I found this and still remember most of the rules
Bump, going to do this once per day and if no posts within 4 days, I'm going to call it a failure. I could go to another play by post site, but most other sites are harder to navigate and not well organized.
I'd give this a go, why not? Dungeon Magazine had a couple of 4th edition adventure paths. I actually had considered trying to run the one called Scales of War locally but I doubt I'd have the time.
Not to be rude or anything, but it's not that this interest check is a failure, but more that you're attempting an interest check among a huge populous that has a huge distaste for 4e. To be honest, I'm pretty sure that's why Pathfinder became so big because for a whole lot of us, 4e comes off as way too much of a table top MMO that just killed the spirit of the game for us. Not saying that it's a horrible game at all, it just didn't find a home for a large majority of d20 players. If I had time to do so, I'd run you a PbP Scales of War, but the interest check of those on this site isn't going to be what you're looking for.
Do you know of any site where 4e would be popular? As far as versions, I liked 4E, because it was very videogamish. This doesn't mean I dislike Roleplay, because I enjoy good roleplay, but when it comes to D&D, having that video game feel, without being a video game is what is important to me. The limits of what you can do is your imagination and the game mechanics, while a video game, it is only the game mechanics is the limit.
Well there you go! You obviously enjoy it for the reasons why most of us don't like it lol. As for where to look, I honestly have no idea to be perfectly honest. I'd imagine that anywhere you looked, you're still going to have the same thing that you have here.
Doesn't have Wizatds any pbp enhanced forums? If not, they must, for its 4th and its D&D next when it comes.

D&D Next I don't enjoy, of course I only own the playtest version. Reason is that you can in a way break all the rules of classes, multi class druids can wear heavy metal, Druid 19/Fighter 1, multi class mages can wear heavy armor without arcane spell failure chance mage 19/fighter 1, Paladins can be CE. And some people are already playing the Delta Version.
As far as which 4E AP I'm looking for, it doesn't have to be Scales of War, I just want to finish a 4E campaign, but I'll check out the other sites.
Also Wizards Website is hard to navigate.
I would be game. I have been looking for something that will be long lasting, always wanted to get into more of a home game instead of just the scenarios that are really short.
Well seeing as the interest for players is actually there, and looking at my schedule, I would be able to run you guys a 4e campaign. However, these would be the way that I'd run it: Not in the MMO style that you enjoy it for. It wouldn't be a roll and avoid doing anything for story, it wouldn't be an all out free for all who can kill the most type of game, and because this would kill pretty much the rest of my free time, I'd be running you guys through the default campaign that WotC created since I don't have the time to plot out hooks all the way to 30 just because you guys felt like you just had to tell the town leadership to go screw themselves like every single other 4e game I've ever attempted to run. If you want a MMO style game, go and actually play a MMO game, there's plenty of free to play out there, I'm actually pretty fond of Neverwinter myself. But I won't be running a tabletop MMO.
Which campaign is that? I know of the APs like Scales of War but I'm not aware of anything else. I'd roll a rogue of some sort, what type of creation rules do you want to abide by? There are so many options on the PC generator on the website that it gives me a headache to find stuff.
I prefer playing games with some roleplaying where I can really get into my character. I would probably play a cleric, but am flexible depending on what we need.
It'd be the one that starts off with Keep On The Shadowfell.
Ah, so you are just going to string modules together. Sounds fine by me!
It's actually not a string of random modules. It's like the AP's that Paizo creates. Each book can be a stand alone, but put together, there's an actual story and plot line put together.
If this is still happening, I would love to play a Dwarven Fighter, working on all the details, but just putting that out there. And that sounds great KyleS.
Alright. Give me a few minutes, and I'll put up a recruitment thread for you guys.
Sounds like a blasty blast, I've never been able to play a 4th ed game that lasted more than a single session.
That is the thread, yes. This is just the alias I use for when I run games.
