There have been a lot of new and exciting things going on in the world of Dungeons & Dragons and we want to catch you up in case you missed any of this. This is the first in a weekly news update from EN World's new WotC Correspondent, Christopher Hackler. He'll be posting regular updates like this, along with interviews and articles regarding all things D&D, and will cover D&D Insider updates, new releases, product announcements, and more. If WotC is doing it, and it has the D&D logo on it, you should find it here. We intend for this to be the most comprehensive coverage of D&D anywhere!- The release of Mordenkainen’s Magnificent Emporium unleashes a hoard of new magic items that will have your PC’s aching to start slaying and gathering treasure. You can check out the artwork for this new book here.
- Check out the Rule of Three article by Rich Baker in Dungeon. Here you will find answers to questions you may have regarding new expertise feats, the new PC race the pixie, and more about the open style playtest.
- The new offering in The Dungeon Master Experience by Chris Perkins is C’est La Vie. It takes a look at what to do with that nasty on-going campaign question, “What to do with PC death?”
- Dragon Magazine has a tie in to Dungeon Magazine this month taking a spotlight on Gond and the artificer in the Forgotten Realms. Gond’s Way: Artificer of the Realms in Dragon and The Crafthouse of Inspirations in Dungeon, by Doug Hyatt, throw more options for the artificer in the way of powers and feats and a location that will bring the Wonderbringer to life in your Realms game.
- War College by Robert J. Schwalb is an excellent organization that is perfect for Nerath or any campaign. If you like colorful organizations and NPC’s, a terrific map, and a pile of hooks to get you started then this is the DDI Dungeon article for you.
- If you didn’t sign up for D&D Playtesting for the D&D Skirmish Board Game don’t miss out again. This is a fun and invaluable way to have your voice heard. Go over to the Wizards of the Coast Community pages and join the D&D Playtest Group.
- Remember if you have a question to something in your game and need a quick answer to go to the 4e General Discussion Forum and get an answer from some other gamers in the ongoing Ask a Quick Question, Get a Quick Answer thread. Perhaps help out another gamer by answering one of their questions while you are over there.
- If you still need more adventure then the Heroes of Neverwinter game coming to Facebook is for you. Go to the page and give it a like if you want to be caught up when it launches soon.
- If you haven’t tried Lair Assault from the Wizards Play Network then you had better get started. Since the encounters are designed to fully test characters and players add surviving one to your bucket list. It might take awhile to beat it.
- The release of Shadowbane next week by Erik Scott de Bie features the dark vigilante of the Downshadow novel. The extras include a new short story, “A New Purpose”, as well as links to an existing prequel and links to the background info on the Abyssal Plague series.
