Last Saturday, I had the guys over for D&D. The session was mainly combat against a bunch of kobolds and a goblin. In 3rd Edition, that probably wouldn’t have been all that interesting; kobolds and goblins are, after all, basically cannon fodder under that system (unless you give them class levels). These fights, however, were a lot of fun to play out, and made for a very satisfying session. The second fight, against Irontooth and his minions, was particularly satisfying, and came dangerously close to a total party kill (it was a 6th level encounter for my 2nd level party). Through clever tactics and skillful use of their powers, however, the party managed to survive without any casualties, even if they did burn through all of their dailies and most of their healing capabilities (they had a potion left, but everyone had used their second wind, and all healing powers had been used). At any rate, it was great fun.
