    D&D Open Championship : Old Encounters?

    We didn't publish past years' D&D Championships, but this year, we've taken the time to "pretty it up" nicely and it's something we're considering releasing sometime after the show.

    DDXP 2010 News and Updates

    We've just uploaded the podcasts from yesterday's seminars. They can be found here on the D&D Experience coverage page. Also, a few things to take away: The Essentials line will contain lots of new content for existing players, and is not a different 4E ruleset. We'll be doing a "deeper...

    Nope, I'm still here, and still working hard, trying to get things in place for 2010. :)

    WotC Layoffs - Rob Heinsoo, Logan Bonner, and Chris Sims

    I've had a lot of great times working with this recent crew of folks from R&D that got let go. Logan and I play in a weekly game together and he's one of the best friends I have here in Seattle; not to mention he's done some fantastic work on adventures for me in Organized Play (his Monster...

    DM Rewards: Hommlet and Ship Tiles (Soilers)

    When we concepted the tiles and we realized we wanted to maximize utility, we wanted to make sure to deliver 2 sets to each DM that got them, so they could do either ship-to-ship with the big ships or have an above/below deck setup without having to flip the tiles back and forth. It turned out...

    DM Rewards: Hommlet and Ship Tiles (Soilers)

    No, THANK YOU for running D&D games and reporting your play! Folks, if you haven't received your ship tiles or Village of Hommlet yet, just wait a few weeks before contacting customer service. They just started shipping right before Gen Con Indy, so they might take a little while to get to you...

    [RPGA] Organized Play Support for Dark Sun

    We are definitely planning on support in Organized Play for Dark Sun. What that support entails right now is currently in the planning stages. Nothing is off the table at the moment. Over the course of the next few months, we will be solidifying our support plans. Personally, I love the Dark...

    D&d xp

    Just a couple of comments before I head to bed, and off to the next show... We'll have all the PH2 characters available again this weekend at New York Comic Con in the Delve area, so if you're nearby, stop in to play. If you just want to game, we've worked with the show to offer a weekend-long...

    Swordmages and half-orcs hit the streets!

    I really don't want to go into calculations used for the final numbers at this point. Suffice to say, I know the AC and damage negation are correct from the copy that I possess.

    Swordmages and half-orcs hit the streets!

    Note that this is a stand-alone adventure, so if you have a group with RPGA numbers, you can order it and test it out. Mike also wrote it for us, and it's playing here at Origins right now. Tons 'o fun with a surprise ending.

    Swordmages and half-orcs hit the streets!

    I created the character. It was based on a miniature from the upcoming Against the Giants set (it's a cool-looking dwarf in light armor with a longsword; he's technically not a swordmage, but he certainly looks the part). I'm 99% certain that the swordmage's bonuses are all correct based on the...

    Help with KotS Wizard Pregen

    I think you'll be happy with rituals, then. I'm currently playing an 11th-level wizard in a home game and I love my rituals!

    Warlords at D&D XP?

    The rogue and warlord weren't included in the group of characters because there was only a need for 6 characters. We didn't want 2 leaders in the party at first so we just decided to go with cleric, since more players are familiar with general nature of the class. Warlock was chosen over rogue...

    D&DExp Character Sheets!

    Just so you know, while I did double-check some of these characters and others checked them too, there might be some slight math errors on a couple. I'd have to go back and check on these again. There's not many; I only spotted two, both in the PCs' favors. That's what I get for finishing them...
