I really think 4e is a lot better than 3.5 for the simple reason that it's just that: simple. I mean, I wanted to play DnD before 4e, saw 3.5 and cried at how complicated it was. So then I eventually came back and saw 4e, which looked pretty sweet so here I am.
If you want to play, please post your Character name, race, and class. I'd be happy if you did :D
I'll look into MapTool, but I've already made all the pogs and two maps for the adventure, so keep trying to get it to work (clean out your java cache, reinstall java, check
GT troubleshooting, blow up your computer) :v
edit: On the upside, I found some guy who's got the maps for this adventure already created, I'm going to hopefully see within the next day if he'll shoot them my way. Hopefully before Thursday, when I have to give this computer back to my school D:
