Please post strictly out-of-character items here. Mechanics can still go into the in-character posts, generally speaking.

I don't plan to focus on Eberron history, or anything, but it's a kitchen-sink setting that some people know about and it front loads some interestingness. If you don't know the setting, don't worry about it.

Please introduce yourself here, tell us about your D&D, 4th Edition and other RPG experience, and touch on what kind of character you'd like to make.

I don't require every role to be filled. Defender and Leader are good anchors for any group, but I firmly believe that any group other than All Defenders could do fine. So, play what you enjoy.

Hello,
I have enjoyed 4th Edition since 2006 or so, when I would run sessions for my students. I have a weekly D&D game night online for two hours that I DM. It’s been a while since I’ve been a player. I’m wanting to play a leader or controller, but I want to know what others are thinking. Just before 5th came out my local convention had a number of battle interactive events and games that would last the whole day. I miss those and the 5E events are just not the same.
Thanks,
Matthew

Hi,
I've been DMing 4ed for a couple of years - I've mainly GM'd Runequest and some other games in the past - for over 30 years, and this edition is my first experience of DM for this system

I have a group of 5 core players plus my 7 year old daughter who joins in occasionally - she'll reference gaming stuff in real life - telling my wife for example she needs to roll a 10 on a d20 to sneak out of the room, much to my wife's annoyance (in a jokey way).

Not much experience as a player in this edition - just a couple of one shots at 1st level

In this adventure I have generated a dragonborn fighter, just using phb1, so keeping it simple
