Last night’s live stream was amazing. I had a blast and I hope everyone else did too.

As you can see, the encounter was pretty intense and had a lot of ups and downs. To be able to have encounters like this at first level is one of the great things about 4e.

Thank you to everyone that participated. I hope to have the recap up in the next few days.
