TTopRPG Sample Play, 4e 1/12

I purchased a $2 4e PDF (Mists of Madness) and set it up in TTop so we could try out the ruleset. This is the start of a 2 hour battle that ended in the death of the party.

I made a few mistakes. Concealment rolls are -2 or -5 to hit, not a % roll after the attack. The ogre was supposed to be Large with reach, and I allowed 1 minion to charge through Jolt without an OA.

These videos are a good demo of online DnD, TTopRPG or the 4e ruleset. Enjoy! (The action isn't exactly fierce, but it has its moments)

I'm willing to give 4e a fair shake. I'm still a little dubious, but for a single session at a time thing it isn't bad. I'll be testing level 30 stuff soon. Thanks for your interest!

4esucks, but if I can make it work for 3.5 or other games, I'm loving it.
