I'm really sorry that it played out that way! As the author, I'm responsible for anything I didn't write that still ends up in the adventure. Just about everything that happens before you enter the air node is something that was added in development. I have to own that, because I clearly didn't...

There have been an incredible number of interactive events over the past 16+ years of organized play, with many takes on how to provide rewards. I haven't really seen one that makes everyone happy. I can go into some examples if it is helpful, but I think campaigns have to just vary what they...

Usually when a table does that, it is enjoying doing so. There are some abilities (and especially spells) that absolutely neuter an encounter. If your encounter routine is: 1) Roll initiative 2) Banish the biggest monster or cast Hypnotic Pattern Then, yeah, sure, every encounter is easy. There...

The "AL experience" isn't a single thing. Organized play changes constantly, because when it doesn't (even within a single program) it becomes boring. Change is always a stress point, but the lack of change is far worse. No one program can be exactly what all people desire. We all have too many...

There was a long-running joke during LFR where we would continually post requesting warforged to become a legal race (even though it was). The joke started because of the multiple posts where people would ask for this (and other things) that were already legal to become legal. Pauper clearly...

That's a great story. I know the player in question (she's awesome) and when she told me the story I was super-happy to hear that these kinds of great moments are still being facilitated by the design. I had a great time at our T3 table. I was asked to leave my group to join another table so it...

Hats off to the admins, Baldman, DMs, and players - this was a really great year at Winter Fantasy! I had a blast! (It was strange to not have it be a frozen deathscape!)

Has this post really gone this far with no one asking for warforged to become legal in 4E play?

I had a fantastic Winter Fantasy. The two things I heard as I played at a variety of tables were 1) Big conventions should provide magic item certificates for all adventures and not just premieres, and 2) DM Rewards should be greater. I would say those topics came up at more than 1/3rd of my...

The same is true of making a deal with Greg. ;-)

Dave is probably pretty busy right now (setting up, etc.), but usually they have a great team and a few extra judges who can help with tickets and finding a table. I myself didn't land a ticket I wanted for slot 1, so I'll also be going to the ticket area and swapping a ticket or waiting to see...

I added an update to the first page, but forgot to add a note here that I had done so. Check out the first post for all of the recent Adventurers League changes!

I look forward to seeing everyone there! (And do please introduce yourself by name, I'm horrible with names and I had to miss last year's con)

Speaking of good stuff, huge news today as Wizards of the Coast has launched the Dungeon Masters Guild, an extension of the DnDClassics site, which now offers anyone the ability to create content! And, all of the Adventurers League Expedition adventures are there, including Howling Void, an...

I'm always glad to tell people about good stuff! :-) Keep up the good work! More, more! ;-)

The D&D Adventurers League keeps knocking it out of the park with their articles for players and DMs. They just now posted a comprehensive guide to maintaining the log sheet. Most people will know these aspects, but there are a few tricky corner cases (like rebuilding your character and choosing...

I have no idea what is in this issue other than a Flumph short story. That's pretty much the most awesome thing ever and I can't even see the other pages in the issue.

Are trade posts allowed? I have an extra rare Nalfeshnee and Spectator. I am looking for Bugbear Hunter, Mind Flayer Lich, Xorn, Grell, Red Dracolich, and the ultra-rares Invis Blink Dog and Invis Mind Flayer. I also have many non-rares from this set and a ton of older sets and DDMs I could...

There was a great article yesterday on playing Adventurers League online. It does a great job of reviewing the rules for such play!

Darn. I'm really sorry to hear that. I do tend to be an overly complex writer, though I tried to split hairs here and make it both engrossing and communicate enough that it would run well for most DMs. One interesting thing is that my original draft had an introduction prior to getting to the...
