[QUOTE="tyrlaan, post: 5228850, member: 20998"] I find them interesting, but then I find this sort of information interesting if it comes from any GM out there that's blogging about their game. I'd say referring to it as blogging is quite an accurate assessment. To me there are certifiable nuggets of good advice and tips in the articles, but I do feel like I have to eat through a whole lot of breading to get to the meaty bits sometimes. I'll keep reading it, but I'd much prefer if it took a page from ruling skill challenges and talked about specific things like: [LIST] [*]The art of monster design (a series of articles - could focus on solos, minions, standards) [*]Adventure building (something like the Scenario Based design article [URL="http://www.thealexandrian.net/creations/misc/node-design/node-design.html"]here[/URL]) [*]Building and mapping out your own "nentir vale" starting zone [*]The art of trap design [/LIST] And other material in this vein. I'm pretty sure I've read all the Dungeoncraft articles since 4e launched and I don't think these topics have really been addressed. Sure it's interesting to see how someone takes the events of a session and weaves them into ongoing storyarcs and whatnot, but that can prove to be very situational advice. I don't want to necessarily [I]not [/I]read what he's been writing, but I'd also like to see some "universally" useful material as well. [/QUOTE]
