I have been a WotC contractor for a couple of years now, mostly administering campaigns for the RPGA. Recently, I have been doing design work for 4e products, as well as managing content for the RPGA's organized play campaign, Living Forgotten Realms. This blog will talk about my efforts in those areas and my experiences with 4e.
My first Dungeon adventure . . .
Posted 1st September 2008 at 03:11 PM by smerwin29
My adventure in Dungeon magazine, "Massacre at Fort Dolor," was published a couple days ago at the online home of Dungeon magazine: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/duad/20080828.
I am very happy with how it turned out, especially the art. I am completely hopeless when it comes to the visual arts, so any piece of quality artistic work leaves me awed. I wish I could have done a better job with the maps, but the cartographer did a fine job of creating the maps exactly as I envisioned them.
It is scary to think back when I was writing this, as I turned in the text of the adventure BEFORE DDXP 2008, which was in February--practically 4 months before the 4e rules were released and several weeks before I had a final draft of the rules. If I were to rewrite the adventure now, I can envision many changes I would make. But that is how just about any creative process is, I think.
Anyway, I hope people get a chance to play it, DM it, and make it part of their D&D games. Greg Marks, one of the other Factionmasters for the Xen'drik Expeditions campaign, also has an adventure in Dungeon this month, and I am looking forward to seeing that as well.
