Examples from recent high level dungeon I developed: First, your adventure setting is probably a supernatural and fantastic location. In my instance, it is a keep, housed some two miles below the surface of the earth, with no apparent means to reach it through passages, etc. Travelling not...

Best ending: the best campaign endings are great, because D&D never ends. Every great campaign ending I've run, always leaves the door open, and most times has resulted in an another adventure. Sometimes years later. Worst ending: this one is easy. One of the few campaigns I've ever been...

I had really excellent adventures crafted from the ideas and game material found in sourcebooks like the grey box, The Savage North, Old Empires, City System, and The Unapproachable East. I definitely recall taking some parts from curse of the Azure Bonds module. I also have fond memories of...

I was fortunate enough to attend the R&D seminar conducted by WoTC on Friday at GenCon. They reviewed all their remaining products coming out, but most of my focus was on 4e. I can't wait for 4e. When they got to the Rules Compendium, Bill S indicated that "this is our gift to all the fans of...

From a post on 7-10-2004, this weekend addressed many of these... Here's a quick recap of the pitfalls identified thus far in the thread... Pitfall: The number of attacks rolled at higher level becomes difficult to manage (with multiple heroes and villains). Pitfall: Instead of spending time...

This was a fun trip down memory lane... http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=93424&page=1&pp=40 It's still a little early to tell how much was seen, or if any of these ideas were used. Again, many thanks to those that contributed to this thread (one of my favorites) from 2004 and 2005...

Nice touch having Dan present. Very classy on all parties involved. Congrats to the winners!

/joins in applause /attends GenCon 2007 /rises to feet and applauds loudly

That IS an excellent summary.

Crap! That's a DC34 Will save!!!!!!!!! Failed, ok, I laugh. Then... I slice his head off!

I sat next to Chris T in the back, and he leaned over my shoulder and confirmed that the lead developers were Collins, Cordell and Heinsoo. I know where Michael was coming from with this line, because sitting in the audience, it certainly seemed like Mike M had a lot to say on most of the...

The design guys were adamant that between the initial release books and the D&D Insider, none of the "standards" would be missed. If you've played 3rd Edition xyz race + ABC character, you'll be able to do it in 4e quickly, just not necessarily in April/May.

From a development standpoint, they're indicating to us that they have "simplified" the monsters so that they all play certain "roles" in an encounter. Further, they will fully flesh out and detail everything you need to know to run the encounter in one place, using their new format, that will...

Michael, sorry I missed you. I wasn't kidding in my earlier post when I said I literally drove over from Columbus to find out about 4e. I left on Friday at 7am, arrived at 10am. Did the dealer room/lunch until 2pm. Did this seminar until 4pm. Dinner with friends, drove home. The baton is...

Both Dungeon Magazine and Dragon Magazine will be a direct part of the DI component of 4e. There will be new releases three times per week on the DI, every week.

This is almost a direct quote from Rich Baker. He referred to the 3rd Edition "conversion guide" as an unfufilled promise. They said that was a mistake they would not make again. They laughed about putting out "Exemplars of Evil" and "Ancient Ones" which is essentially a book of the biggest...

Done, done. They want to hit the "reset" button on all the "Living" campaigns. They are integrating all this stuff, MUCH MORE DIRECTLY into the play experience of 4e. I believe that Organized Play will be tied directly to characters that are built and updated online through the DI, and that...

I sat in on the first 30 minutes of the next seminar (which was based on Eberron), and Keith Baker was ADAMANT that there would be more Eberron support than EVER before during 4e because the "constraints" of a paper magazine were being lifted by moving to the D&D Insider format. He said you...

Eric, this is almost a direct quote from Andy Collins. You'll definitely want to at least give 4e a glance. It sounds like your thoughts and theirs are pretty close.
