    Things that might be helpful to consider including in the CoS players guide

    If I was your DM, I would have no issues if you did that now, the new ALPG should be clear on it in a week or so. I see no difference really. DM call really.

    Things that might be helpful to consider including in the CoS players guide

    We didn't, yet. That comment is from our original intent at the beginning of S3 when we had planned to make wingwear and balloon packs count as permanent items (until you use them up; like the ointment cert) and then they go away. For reasons that are not really important, the change didn't go...

    Release Date for S4 Player's Guide?

    We've had some technically difficulties with the PG files that have slowed progress. We are still shooting for the Launch Event day of 3/4.

    [SPOILERS] Some thoughts on the Author Only mods from Winter Fantasy

    If i recall, one of the Canadian RCs is heading down under and bring Fai Chen with him. While DDAOs are in beta for this season, we will likely open it to RCs at some point. You'd have your RC plus one if this was happening next season!

    [SPOILERS] Some thoughts on the Author Only mods from Winter Fantasy

    At Conflagration (albeit I was going anyway), there is no extra cost for my DDAO. That said a few players suggested there should have been as it would have been a great charity event like the Charity mods of old LC days. I think at future cons that I run, we might do a slightly increased cost...

    Things to do with Downtime Days

    DM's are not suppose to add loot like that, and I believe you are under estimating the actual number of spellbooks we've given out. We do understand its an issue however and it is something the admins are looking at.

    Death House and Milestone Rules

    I'd milestones also work well if the adventure is quite linear. If its not, the hypothetical person in my example likely gets nothing from milestones. Oh you guys RPed about halfway to the first milestone, but then you sidetracked to the crawl and began it, but took a beating so you bailed on...

    [SPOILERS] Some thoughts on the Author Only mods from Winter Fantasy

    This is part of why they are not generally available. My adventure for example is a two page outline, about 10 pages of stat blocks, a prop, a handout, and two maps from an out of print product. If it does get released, I'd have to fully it write it, which means I need time to do that, and since...

    [SPOILERS] Some thoughts on the Author Only mods from Winter Fantasy

    Two quick notes: 1) There are some ladies that current qualify, but sadly they didn't have time to put something out just yet. It was a matter of who volunteered rather than any selection process. I suspect when some of the ladies have more free time, they will add DDAO stories to the ranks...

    What sort of character will you build for Curse of Strahd?

    Its not really intended, but I'm sure you could make it work with some RP. The first two adventures of the season (DDEP4 and DDAL4-1) take place primarily in FR, so if you play those you'll need to say why you are there, and how you know what's going on with FR and Phlan (and why you care). When...

    Death House and Milestone Rules

    Okay, so how do you deal with the guy who starts an adventure but has a family emergency and leaves part way through an 8 hour adventure. Does he get four milestones after the first fight? What if your table is RP heavy and you played for 10 hours already but only did the first fight and fully...

    Season 4 Curse of Strahd and Adventurers League

    I may note that having a plan does not mean having every detail confirmed/approved. So while we may have a plan, its never set in stone until the ALPG is approved by WOTC and released. We generally make announcements like this when we give all the specifics with the ALPG. I believe I and others...

    DM rewards for running Adventurer's League - what are your thoughts?

    You are correct. Currently there is not. We add or remove stuff from story origins, which means that we do it with no ALPGs, which means we're likely looking at S5 for any character content (if any). Its possible that an adventure could be added to S4 if there was a really good one we like and...

    Death House and Milestone Rules

    That document was not written by the AL admins or anyone at WOTC who directs the AL. We do not use the Milestone rules in AL. Since that document went out (catching us a bit by surprise), as quoted above, we've decided to allow milestones for Death House only.

    Season 4 Curse of Strahd and Adventurers League

    No one said they would be trivial, or that if you choose to leave early that you could ever go back.

    Season 4 Curse of Strahd and Adventurers League

    As announced previously, there will be more than one way out. I count three, possibly four. As previously announced, the admins did plan for this in advance. I get the assumption that they have no clue and all things will automatically fail. Its how the internet works. However, at this point...
