Another issue we are also dealing with is trying to have the community see that there is value to having an Admin/RC/LC come to their convention. We've tried giving them certs and promo items and Fai Chen's but those things don't always seem to be enough, so at the moment as we playtest DDAO...

No, WOTC pays cash money to have us get them written, so they have a lot of say over where they appear.

Death House is levels 1-3, so I don't think you could play more than adventure or two from seasons 1-3 before playing it. After that, you'd be locked of 4-1 due to level but could start at 4-2. As for mixing Death House and Season 4, That's fine, Death House is in Barovia.

1) Story Origin: Actually a bit of both. WOTC said "We say the rule should be this. Do you have any issue with that? No, its exactly what's needed we agree." So yes it was their mandate, but we so no reason to argue against it. 2) No, Wotc said that Epics can only be at the major cons (Winter...

I view it more like the car company saying we plan to eventually make an addon for completely silent cars and another for completely invisible cars. We know that could result in lots of accidents, but we don't intend for those addons to be used together but we'll sell both of them cause hey, a...

For everyone's info, not just ArlenFrostlockes, the future proofing idea was not the Admins, it was WOTC's. They said "We expect that each expansion is balanced only with the core rules, not other expansions because a DM can just say no if a combo is broken. Since AL might not have that option...

Just for clarity, the epic wont be on the store, but we plan on releasing it to MANY conventions around the world.

In addition to nonstandard xp (which is one reason you can't leave Barovia, play a S3, come back, play one or two, leave for an Epic, etc...), the season will introduce a quest mechanic that gives bonus xp for doing certain things. Of course, there is always catching and DM xp as well if should...

Again, as stated in the thread, not true. just because an NPC appears in a DDAO adventure doesn't mean that that adventure is the conclusion or the major deciding factor. You are listen to rumors that are untrue.

Again, as stated above in this thread, this is not true. You are assuming the worst and its simply not the case. The big reveal for Elisande is in an Expedition adventure (3-16), not the DDAO adventure. The DDAO adventure is not the end of her story either. It is a sidetrek that does not alter...

I encourage players to be happy for their fellow gamers that get the chance to play in something cool, rather than jealous/angry that they didn't get the chance. If your friend wins the lottery are you happy for him and enjoy the stories he now tells you or things he buys and shares with you, or...

You speak as if the Epic is the end of the storyline and there is no more to it. That's not true.

Nothing is ever better without Shawn Merwin!

There were no additional interactives after the campaign ended in 2014. Sean just cleaned up the files for the ones we released and posted them online. Also, Sean didn't "take over" the campaign after it ended. The campaign ended in 2014, at which point the admins where Myself, Sean Molley...

I never left LFR. I was part of that team until the end of the very campaign. I wrote or did Dev work on every LFR interactive. Unless these are unofficial interactives that were done by local people in which case, they're not really part of the campaign.

My response is based on the lack of response to my earlier comments about DDAO adventures. It appeared and perhaps you didn't read them, that you were ignoring my comments in favor of arguing against something that I already stated wasn't true. I think it might be helpful to point out (as...

I think for these we're going to have to disagree. We are specifically trying to write epics to be longer/more difficult now. If you don't have 10 tables, it becomes very difficult to run (though we have allowed it in several cases for out of country cons which tend to be smaller). Say you run...

Please note my early response your comments. They are not the only ones with Epics. Any convention that meets some very minimal requirements may host an Epic. This was changed back at the end of Season 2. I know of two local conventions in my area that are running an epic in the next few months.

That's actually built into the critical events. We ask you put unusual, heroic, funny things that happened at your table in response to one of the questions. That question is almost always left blank by those that answer, though some of the side references in adventures are referring to those...

I'm not going to address each of these, as I feel Pauper and others have done so, but a few deserve clearing up of misconceptions: That's sort of true, though not entirely. Expeditions are in the Moonseas. Hardcovers (previous Encounters) are in the Sword Coast. DDAO and Epics are anywhere...
