[QUOTE="Shiv, post: 5738133, member: 5526"] Hello all, As we move toward the end of November, I'm giving this thread a little bump. I've been told that my "Baba Yaga's Dancing Hut" adventure will go live on Wednesday, November 30th. It'll go up alongside a "Court of Stars" article detailing Baba Yaga herself (penned by Alana Abbott) as well as a Design & Development article I wrote which provides some insight into the process I went through while designing this very large adventure project. In an effort to provide some build-up to Wednesday and the Baba Yaga goodness that will finally come to bear at Wizards' site, I'm gonna provide a few tidbits here and now. This said, I'm basing this on the final draft I submitted to WotC and the follow-up work I did during the editing process a month or so ago. It's possible that some parts of what I'm revealing now changed a bit as the adventure went through development and editing. So, to answer a few questions you might have... 1. How, exactly, does a hut dance? It dances ALL OVER your characters! Expect the dancing hut to "bring it." The dancing hut is NOT to be trifled with. Plus, you see those skulls with the glowing eye sockets on the table of contents page for November's Dungeon? Those eye sockets are glowing for a reason. 2. What is the basis of this adventure? It's based on the adventure penned by Roger E. Moore in Dragon Magazine #83 (with the black and white chessboard cover). It holds true to Roger's vision of the dancing hut in many ways. That is, it's built around a tesseract and is MUCH larger on the inside than the hut's outer appearance would suggest. It contains MANY rooms, filled with all sorts of monsters and treasures. Players who enjoy mapping dungeons will have a hard time mapping the hut. 3. Does the adventure contain an enormous "mortar and pestle?" Yep. Baba Yaga's iconic mode of transportation is in there...somewhere. 4. What kinds of monsters might be encountered in the 4E version of the dancing hut? There are hags aplenty, including one variant that hasn't previously been translated into D&D 4E. Also, there's something that "lurks." And there's something that "traps." And there's a whole bunch of chickens. As it turns out, chickens are fun. 5. That's fine. But, what about Elena the Fair and Natasha the Dark? Both of Baba Yaga's adopted daughters are incorporated into the 4E-updated hut. However, much time has passed since the original version of the hut was published. Elena and Natasha have been up to things in the interim, and this new dancing hut adventure addresses these happenings in (I hope) interesting and surprising ways. So, there you go. Get your players ready to dive into Baba Yaga's Dancing Hut. It should be tons of fun. Feel free to post questions. I'll answer what I can, but don't be surprised if my answers are a little cryptic. I don't want to give too much away just now. Craig Campbell Author of "Baba Yaga's Dancing Hut" [/QUOTE]
