http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/4ll/20140707 Looks like I'm the night owl this week. Mike's article on encounter design

I think it is definitely a typo. My FLGS where I have it pre-ordered shows the July 15 date....though as a premier store they get it on the 3rd.

Mostly a recap of recent news, but here as a handy link http://www.wizards.com/DnD/Article.aspx?x=dnd/4ll/20140602

a new one up to discuss http://www.wizards.com/DnD/Article.aspx?x=dnd/4ll/20140512

After a couple of missing weeks the column returns http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/4ll/20140421

;) I wish I could be as confident as you that it is "won't ", but recent comments have the game sounding unfinished. I agree that an announcement date of now or a month from now won't have any big impact on most (I've done all the open play testing, like what I've seen, and will be...

You're more confident than me....though I hope you're right....it is the 40th anniversary of D&D, they've been working on this for three years yet still aren't at a point where they can announce the PHB will be out by Gencon ( where they'll miss out on building excitement with 40,000 plus...

My feelings too

Fighter/Mage in my campaign really likes it. As DM I think it is a fine option.

I'm wondering??? I recall hearing there are to be five Sundering adventures. Two are already out and their recent statement names two more D&D Next adventures. Possibility that the fifth adventure will be out when the 5e rules are available...at least a basic set of the rules. Does this give a...

Yes it's here. Downloading now!

I strongly agree too. If there is need to make them scarier have them hit better and/or harder, but no need for all the attacks from a Ghoul.

Agreed 2x damage would suck on many rolls. I'm all on favor of max plus a die. Crit needs to be a bit special ...thus max plus a kicker. Please WotC don't even think of play testing the 3e/pathfinder roll to confirm a crit...the most fun sucking moment in gaming!

My worry is how this is going to impact the Encounters program. I note that while for the first time stores will be able to sell the Encounters adventure....also for the first time the stores are going to have to buy extra adventures, so there are copies to run in store. I've been an Encounters...

Merric, I too agree with all your criticisms. I've DM'd every season of encounters and this is my least favorite. Along with your point about the villain in session 5 falling flat; I was disappointed that we had a bar fight in sessions 1 and 3....wow skipped that idea for a whole week.

Thanks Claudio I did miss that, and thanks Iosue for the heads up on the two dungeon adventures....a bit more of that is the kind of incentive WotC needs to be using to retain customers like myself that are moving on to the next edition.
