Whether running/playing a 2-hour, pick-up D&D game is "worthwhile" is a completely subjective thing that depends on the sensibilities of the individual. I can say this: I have been contracted by Wizards of the Coast in the past to create 2-hour events to run as pick-up games at conventions like...

Neither adventure is available anywhere for purchase or download. Both were only distributed to DMs who were running them at those conventions. The "Hill Giant" adventure that ran at Winter Fantasy wasn't even a full adventure. It was just notes for how to convert the original AD&D "Hill Giant"...

Only if the definition of a "cert" carries over from what it was in previous campaigns. We have not yet heard what "cert" means in the context of this new system.

Important to remember, even for us old people: back in the day, there was no "download the adventure." The adventures had to be printed by TSR, put into an envelope, and mailed to the person who requested it. Charging a couple of bucks for the RPGA adventure probably did not even cover the cost...

GenCon Call for DMs To follow up on Teos' point, the call for GenCon DMs and volunteers has gone live on the Baldman Games website. It gives a little bit of information on what Wizards of the Coast is offering at GenCon--presumably coinciding with the release of the new D&D game and the launch...

Something is going to happen. Look for a call for Organized Play DMs for GenCon in a couple weeks. Not sure when more details will be released about future OP and Living campaign plans by Wizards, but it is a matter of when and not if.

Thanks for the kind words. I have not created a strict conversion to the current set of D&D Next playtest rules for Hall of Undermountain. I have, on the other hand, run parts of the adventure at conventions using whatever rules the current playtest packet included, and it has worked very well...

I'm following this topic with great interest. I've been an active DM since the game started, and I've been a big fan of published adventures the whole time--and since the beginning of 3rd edition I have had the good fortune to write adventures for public consumption. I've learned a bit about...

It should have D&D Next, 4e, and 3.5 stats as well.

Thanks, Merric, for the excellent summary. Your points are spot-on!

Yes, I believe so. The All-Access event will feature content from the book. The Candlekeep Delve event is completely different.

Dave Christ of Baldman Games is answering questions about this event on the GenCon forums here: http://community.gencon.com/forums/p/30844/346092.aspx Essentially, your ticket reserves you a dedicated DM for seven 4-hour slots over the course of the convention. That DM will run your table...

Robot DMs!

In 2006, White Silver Publishing released "Into the Reach," the first novel of the Redemption Trilogy. In 2007, "Departure" followed. Soon after, White Silver folded, and the third book, "Regaining Home," was never published, although a draft of the manuscript was completed. In 2010, White...

Hi Merric, You're welcome. ;-)

Sorry about the double post.

I ran the D&D Next playtests at DDXP, Origins, and GenCon--as well as in a couple of different home campaigns. It is a little dangerous to compare these different experiences, since there were so many differences between the circumstances. DDXP and Origins was a 4 hour experience with totally...

If you have any specific questions about it, please feel free to ask. What the product is meant to do is give an overview of Undermountain itself, talk about its relationship to Waterdeep above, give some history, and talk about how Undermountain can be used in a campaign. Then there are three...

Goodness knows we freelancing types need all the protection we can get. From ourselves.
