Find the template for adding your own D&D characters
to the game at: www.wizards.com/Inn-Fighting
The page loads the default D&D page.
No link.

What's the deal?
I just purchased Inn-Fighting.

i was thinking exactly the saem thing
Good I am not the only one... seems that someone in the web-development/maintenance team dropped the ball or didn't get the memo about the product release date... I am sure it will be remedied soon.
yeah but until then......i mean its a good game and evrthing i just played it with some friends in my campus caf but i wish we could be using characters from our eberron game....
And I agree! Where's ma dang Inn Fighting conversion template! At least they now redirect you to something other than the main page, but what gives?
Lady Jorasco, it seems I'm destined to find you whenever I look for things I'm interested in. I search for "Inn Fighting Template" on the boards and BAM, there you are.

hahaha i think youre a pretty cool dude yourself!! :D
Brilliant work, Wizards.
Might as well link to the Paizo.com site.
That's where I'll be spending my money.
Gotta be a Game Mastery product with real support.
Wizards of the Coast couldn't cast cantrips correctly.
I am leaving the radius of effect before daze sets in.
Why do I always walk away from this site bitter ...
Must ... throw ... chair ...
well, y dont u recreate the template, and post it here? :D
Hopefully we won't need to resort to that, though if we do I'm sure we can come up with something reasonable.
sooo......its november now....wheres our OCTOBER products support?!
No kidding.
My second reaction: Has anyone contacted Customer Service about this issue? Complaining about it on the boards won't get anything accomplished since the WotC employees who could do something about this issue rarely check the boards. Contacting customer service will get a much more expedient response.
My third reaction: If customer service was contacted about this issue: see my first response.
Has anyone contacted Customer Service about this issue?
Did it last Saturday, still no response.
The Design Your Own Adventurer Option
If you’ve picked up the game, you’ve probably noticed the card that promises you can come to our website and find out how to add your D&D PC to the game as an Adventurer. That feature isn’t up and running yet, and it’s my fault. My original idea of how to handle the conversion was stupid and wasn’t going to work. Luckily, Logan Bonner had a better idea a week ago and is putting together the basics of his approach, so we’ll have something tinkered together for you soon!

I appreciate the humilty the designer showed by admitting his mistake on the template. It just goes to show that Wizards is not a group of evil money hungry people, but are normal people who have normal problems.
I was about to type, "Don't be silly, no one thinks that." and then I remembered I'm on the internet and got a little depressed about the human race.

Who's to say we have it all right, the line from HHttG- "thanks for all the fish" pops to my mind with that comment... :D
I hope that when the template page does come up and running we can print out the homemade cards. Sure it might take some cutting gluing or maybe laminating but it would be good.
I love this game - IMO it's far more enjoyable and easy to pick up than Three Dragon Ante. However, it sure would be nice to have an update as to when WotC might be delivering template addition support to this game.
"Soon." is the official word.
I bought the game without the knowledge that there was some template or other. I am fine without one. By looking at the stats, I can see that all of the characters are 1st level at best, who would want to go into a fight with their 18th level wizard? Why bother?
The female Elf wizard has Fireball so I'd say more around 7th.
Odds are it has been directed to the Baaaaaaaack burners of development with the rest of the crew still hammering out 4E stuff. :raincloud
Honestly, I wouldn't expect it until 4e is almost upon us.
grrr......even after 2 months gone from the internet its not here?!
Where's the pdf for 3 dragon ante?
Right here.

Ok, so it's been four months since this product launched and about three since the developer posted that support was on its way "soon". What gives?
If the idea was half-baked in the first place and there's no moving forward, why not just say so? Saying there's an acceptable alternative support solution that will be ready soon and then having silence for 90 days isn't a great way to win customers. If at this point it's been held up indefinitely I think many customers would understand, but customers aren't going to assume this without hearing or reading about it. How long does it take a designer to post a 20 - 50 word communication with general (no promises) content? This is basic stuff, guys.
Get some QC on board this tiny ship, Hasbro.
I went to the site it just showed me the product I had already purchased. Then to my amazement after I googled Inn-Fighting template i found this thread... I looked at the R&D article and I can't believe that this is still happening when that article was created in November... 3 months is not soon at all. I wanted this game to add a new element to the dnd games I DM. My players like bar fights and we created some rules for them. I thought this would be a good edition. But, since the developers have neglected to even finish it and just leave the customers waiting for something that they were told they would get in a product they spent hard earned money on. why should I have faith that the company will finish future products?
As a side note can someone else aid me with special case rules clarification?
Say that all players just need to gain one attacks worth of VP and Player A attacks the adventurer of Player B. Player C attempts to thwart this by playing the action card 'Stumblebum' and redirecting the attack towards Player A. One: is this even a possible use for Stumblebum? Two: Who would get the VP if anyone? Three: If said attack hits and attacking player gets the VP... do they win?
I can't promise anything right now as we have a lot going on but I have raised the question with the web team.
I'll let you know the outcome.
thanks
One of the Wizos just brought this to my attention.

Thanks Scott!
Rob Heinsoo knows we owe it but 4e has been taking a lot of his time.
I'll bug them about it again soon.
Im hoping to be able to get it in a month or so, was waiting to see if the template would EVER come inorder to see a preview.
If i do manage to get it, is it allowed for us to make templates by ourselves?
Any hope for this feature being added?
My husband and I have some ideas on this. We are going to work on our own personal system for converting characters, play-test it, and will post our formula here as soon as we have it sorted out. If Wizards wants to remove the post for some kind of copyright infringement then so be it (I have no idea if that would even constitute a violation).
However, if the ability to use your current DnD character is listed on the outside of the box, or in a company made avertisement, then yes, WOTC owes you a refund, and then some.
If a third party (gamestore owner, web store advertisement, etc) pointed out to you that there would be a card inside with a web address for converting your character, then that is the person you should see about your refund
almost a year since it came out, 4th ed has been released, soooo where's our template?
No ****ing kidding.

I have followed up on this again with the web team this morning.
Thanks to WizO_Paradox for reminding me about this
as there is still no template available. I'd like to put some content into this thread so that Wiz knows that the "IF"Player haven't died out.
Several times I have thought of putting that game into my RPG campaign, like I did with 3DA.
However it was not so easy to adapt the rules to my requirements.
One thing is that I'd like the party to join a tavern fight in order to get a fugitive to hand him over to the watch.
But how can I acomplish that 6 party member don't hit each other instead of the other participants of the fight?
So I thought of something like "put an NPC in between two players"
(i.e. this order: P1, NPC, P2, NPC, P3, NPC, P1, ...).
That would mean that anytime one will do an attack to the left or to the right he will hit an NPC. If it comes to the rule "hit the leader" I'd like to give them a 50% chance to hit the fugitive or the leader, regardless if the leader is a player or an NPC. If one of the Players has been knocked out, another can join the fight
(as I have 5 Players in my party)
If one of the NPC has been knocked out another NPC will join (so I will allow only two spare NPC).
I hope you get my ideas.
Do you have maybe similiar ideas on how to put Inn-Fighting into your RPG campaign??
Sorry if my english is not good enough to give you a better understanding.
Regards
I figure I'm just going to take some characters I like and convert them to "Inn-fighting", using the official characters as reference to keep everything balanced. Just an idea.
If wizards tech teams can't make this, what can I expect from DDI?
Really, a year?
Dare I say the "V" word?
Yes! Vaporwear!
But wait... huh? ::Searches internet::: A year late? Seriously? I've got 4 people wanting to buy it and mod it... and this?
Im sure Wizards hears complaints like this every day but... im dissapointed. I love, love this game. Having 5 pirates, gamers all, who work at a friggin pirate bar, playing a game about a bar brawl on the Captain's table? Best thing ever.
But when Wizards, premiere gaming company goes a year without promised support? Thats... well horrible. I guess its not as important as there are far less player of IF than others of there lines... but still. A year?
I mean, wizards has already gotten a rep for poor online handling through MTGO. And thats a flagship product. What hope is there for an online suppliment to a year old standalone(not collectible for more cash!) card game? Even one as fun as this one, which still seems to have interesteed fans over a year later?
Just adding my voice I guess.
I really liked it!! My first comment about it was "hey, we could convert our characters into this game, and do a 'real brawl' in the D&D sessions we play using our characters! (D&D3.5)
So a goggle search brought me here... No templates yet?
Well, it would always be possible to 'design' the templates ourselves - Has anyone tried?
If there were community-designed rules about this, I could 'merge' those rules inside my D&D3.5/PFinder product and automatically Generate the inn-Fighting characters!

It really isn't that hard to do or make. Paint works the best and make sure it is on "Draw Opaque" for putting in text.
They are just SO disorganized and so incredibly incapable of doing anything right, it just makes me squirm. These guys could screw up a cup of coffee.
I mean, we're gamers! Put something crappy out there and let us forget about it, rather than tempt us with the promise of future non-existent support. We'll improve your crappy idea! Get the ball rolling on it. Can't hurt.

Hopefully this will tide us over until the official one makes its appearance. ;)

I'm so sick if this kind of BS. If they're such screw-ups, then you should be smart enough to not buy their products. It's like you people are actively *searching* for things to ***** about.

Quoted for truth. It is horrendous to complain about a company when more than likely your entire closet (or gameroom) is stock full of their products, and then some.
They mess up sometimes, that's simply Chaos Theory in a complex system. If Wizards wasn't here, guys, there would be no DnD. No other company would be able to lend the support for this brand as Wizards has done. It's fine to get mad at a company for not fulfilling a promise, but to lash out at the company as a whole for a little mistake instead of just complaining about the mistake is EXTREME over-reacting.
If my nerd rage ever gets that bad, I would rather just quit gaming instead of constantly *****ing on the forums.

It's just depressing to me to always come on these forums and see people jumping up and down in rage over small things. Yes, a company is definitely supposed to be held accountable for it's mistakes, but when your transfer your rage to the company as a whole, and transform it in your mind to this faceless monster, rather than focusing on criticizing what needs to be criticized, you aren't only turning yourself into a monster, but you are certainly not helping the company that we all depend on for quality Dungeons and Dragons products.
I think a big problem is this strange sense of entitlement people have. That's why I find this 'pdf' scandal so ridiculous. Sure, they need to rectify people who need rectified, and they certainly need to work on getting their PDFs back up in some manner, but to think that you are entitled or have a right to any sort of product simply shows the strange mindset of our consumer based economy. (I'll end my rant there. I'd rather not start spieling about needing a production based economy.)

the unofficial template looks pretty easy and ok to use...
on the subject of the lack of official one, deal with it... these peoples arent your mommies with nothing to do but please you; they have plenty of other - more important - things to do, like keeping dungeons and dragons *available* for us...plus the 3.5 dungeon masters guide (1 or 2, i cant remember) says that anything is at the DMs discretion... make it up if you have to, its just homebrew!

I think customers are allowed to complain about a promised feature that has never been delivered. Nerd rage is uncalled for here.
Why make a game with a 2007 copyright and provide a website that doesn't exist?
TGIF, thank god for inn-fighting
and thank you to the other player who built a website for Wizards.com
D&D Inn-Fighting Un-official Template
Stuart Helm
OK, I just bought this and brought home anxious to link up my Inn-Fighter character conversion template and to no avail. Then came to this forum and found out I was not the only person who had suffered. Perhaps we can see Wiz do something for GenCon when D&D Next will be released... I will have to try the unofficial template and see if it surfice.
I see alot of complaints on this subject but I believe I have a simple solution. Is it cost effective for Wizards of the Coast to just add the coding into the character builder online? This would take the character information on the character sheet and just add another template along with the encounters, at-wills, dailys, and magic items. This would also create exposure to existing D&D players who may want to add this option into their gaming.
I got a chance to paly Inn-Fighter and would love to add this feature to my gaming group who are in the Legacy of the Crystal Shard. I can see this working well with Murder at Balder's Gate module which was released a couple of months ago.
