Let's get small: Adventure Design Part 1
Posted by Atlan on Saturday, February 11, 2006 (22:26:30) (2216 reads) 5 comments |
WotC's Jesse Decker and David Noonan have published an interesting article about designing adventures, especially for the less experienced DMs this is going to be interesting, but also the long-time DMs may find it helpful.
As a little bonus there is a rant from David Noonan about drow in there... In a future part of this article series he will explain why he loves gnolls as a counterpoint to his rant in this article.
You can find the article in question here:

Web-Enhancement: "Races of the Dragon" - Traps and Perfection
Posted by Atlan on Friday, January 27, 2006 (14:18:17) (1857 reads) 1 comment |
A new source book, a new web-enhancement. Sometimes you can debate the uses of the enhacements, though they are always interesting.
This time we get an enhancement that is undoubtably very useful (especially if you love traps). We get 10 Traps (with CRs from 1-10) that are good to use, not only with the Kobolds who designed them. As a final bonus we get the "Kobold Paragon" 3-level class.
So if you like Kobolds or traps you have to get that enhancement.
Where? Well here:
