You could get them before, but you had to get a password for a website from your FLGS that was running the Adventure league.. (and you had to be playing in it)

Ah! Thanks for the clarification!

Great issue

I really don't want another board game. I want more content for the Rpg. I'd even settle for a nice turned based video game.

They're free no matter how you get them, but they were previously only available to people who officially signed up to be dungeon masters for D&D Encounters.

That's the point I was making - it's not like there was some pay-gate preventing people from getting, nor some kind of test that you could fail and then be denied access, at least, no test besides "Go ask for them."

I really liked this issue of Dragon+. A lot of things that I didn't know, as I've been a bit busy at work of late.

Cheers!

That board game looks cool! Lords of Waterdeep is really fun, so I have faith in this.

Surprised they are still giving away Adventure League Modules.. don't get me wron,g it's very nice.. but just shocked.. figured it was a 1 or 2 time deal..

It makes sense - they have those adventures lying around not doing anything, the adventures aren't officially available to the majority of players, and they're looking for content for Dragon+ but don't want to pay much for it (since D+ is itself free). So everything feeds into everything else. It's a smart move.

That's the point I was making - it's not like there was some pay-gate preventing people from getting, nor some kind of test that you could fail and then be denied access, at least, no test besides "Go ask for them."

I for one appreciate them doing this. For various reasons I'm not in a position to engage with AL games, and while I could talk nicely to someone who runs an FLGS (or just Google the passwords) it would be fundamentally dishonest to do so. So having a sanctioned way to get at least some of the adventures is nice.

Occupation of Szith Morcane is also a really interesting adventure, IMO. Full of inventive detail.

Cheers!

Hay. This is a better thing than the previous thing! Before I had to run an android emulator to see something that was not very useful, and now I can go to one central website that has that same not terribly useful content... BUT also has all the feeds from their other media outlets.
Its not old school dragon or dungeon mags but maybe, just maybe, they are starting to move in a direction that wont be horrible.

They are finally making an effort with this.

Maybe they actually do try to take on feedback and improve. Maybe.
