    Fai Chen recon

    Trust me, we wanted to recruit more people to run this at Winter Fantasy - we were just out of available bodies. We did take a couple volunteers to step up and help run it.

    Holy adventures, Batman! (details inside)

    Including a suffix to an already long string (for some adventures) is unlikely to happen, but we're finalizing the full playable adventure checklist this week. I've got 99.5% of the data in it, and just need a few minor details about some lesser-known AL-legal options. A little formatting, a...

    Jasper's DMs Season 3

    I'm intrigued by what you're doing here. Plus, I'd love to see what you build for the item in 3-13 Writhing in the Dark. Related: check your PMs ;)

    Winter Fantasy Roll Call

    More tickets are hitting the WF site Tuesday night at 9pm EST. I will be running 1 table of my new AO "Those That Came Before" on Saturday morning at tier 3, and 1 table of that same adventure at tier 4 on Saturday night. More events are being added as well. Hope to see you all there!

    Question about Epics - planning on attending my first

    Hey folks - As stated by several people in this thread, I would like to confirm that you cannot use a pregen character above level 1. I would also like to confirm that, to date, all of our Epics have indeed offered a play experience at levels 1-4. If you need a quick character, speak with...

    woot, glad you enjoyed them! insta-kills are generally not fun, indeed.

    Holy adventures, Batman! (details inside)

    Comes down to the adventure code. This one (Window to the Past) is the first to be released like this, but it has the code 'DDAL' and a season of '00'. So, it's available for DM rewards and although it takes place after the events of season 2, is not required to run in any particular place or...

    Holy adventures, Batman! (details inside)

    So, December has been pretty crazy so far. The Adventurers League has pushed out some pretty awesome content in the last two weeks and as of today we should ready to keep you gaming all the way through the new year! We (and our CCC friends out there!) released: DDAL05-06 Beneath the Fetid...

    Retiring old AL adventures -- good idea or the best idea?

    Not to put too fine a point on it, but: We are NOT looking to retire adventures at this time.

    Ah, true! I didn't have my PHB handy - thanks, Pauper!

    Play Your Way to 20: More Changes Announced for AL

    Well.... there will be plenty of traps, don't worry about that. I also included some DM direction on: - how trap-heavy the adventure is, and how to adjust for the table's needs - how to swap traps as-needed, including rules, damage scales, and suggestions - how to handle "death traps" Really...

    New Faction Rank Document!

    I don't see why not, but that player is unlikely to ever again get permanent magic treasure from an adventure (remember, faction items raise your overall total). He might want to bear that in mind!

    Play Your Way to 20: More Changes Announced for AL

    The Durlag adventures are seasonal (5-08 and 5-09) at tier 3. I originally set out to link them MUCH more closely to the original video game setting, but ran into a few hurdles: the video game had HUGE numbers of dopplegangers dopplegangers are not always appropriate as 'standard' enemies...

    Play Your Way to 20: More Changes Announced for AL

    NeverLucky, I think you're going with a pretty broad generalization about those DMs being on a power-trip. It's great that characters gain access to awesome things at high levels, but at that point they're not going to be fighting basic goblins, kobolds, and cut-throats - instead, they're going...

    Play Your Way to 20: More Changes Announced for AL

    Characters being immune to fright is a pretty cool thing, but yeah - if a deity appears, there may sometimes be completely valid reasons for that immunity to slough off. After all, a very small handful of gods were sliced up into shards and locked away when the other deities realized that they...

    Play Your Way to 20: More Changes Announced for AL

    When an author deploys a new AO adventure, we have been directed to retire the previous one. We may, if the material is appropriate and we wish to do so, put the adventure up on dmsguild. DDAO-01 is hitting that shop next week, and I will not be running it anymore at local conventions. After 13...

    AL FAQ and Table-Generated Permanent Magic Items

    Substantial update of the FAQ is inbound. We hammered out the admin copy last night; letting it marinate for a bit and will be reviewing before passing to the proverbial office for approval.

    New Faction Rank Document!

    My post was already edited! ;) As for our findings about player desires -- several years of current edition playtesting and feedback, several years of playtesting adventures, physical availability at conventions and FLGS gamedays, Fai Chen operations, social media presence. The data's there...

    Local & Regional Coordinators are no more

    Yup! Standard order of escalation applies, that's correct. Robert and I are available if the DM and event organizer are unable to resolve for some reason. DM--> Event Organizer (moderator if on a forum)--> Community Managers (if needed, or customer service)

    New Faction Rank Document!

    Hey folks - We haven't put any considerable amount of time into discussing the retirement of older adventures. It's come up before but really: we're not keen on it. Not saying that it will NEVER happen, but I'm saying that it's not currently planned. The magic item rewards for factions were...
