With Travelling Man opening for Christmas, we're going to be running a special delve night for totally new players. Using only the tiles and counters from the D&D Starter Set, this will be a single encounter game, with level 1 pre-gens, and a special theme "Saan'tas Claws"

This campaign will start with the continuation of the campaign night of the 30th Nov. Whats happening with the warforged champions of Bahamut? With Markus dominated, will Grution just embarrass Markus, or have him turn on his friends? Will Grution escape?

October was Wizards first month using their new split of content so all DM related material, including new organizations etc went to the Dungeon magazine, and all player material (Vistani, Wizard & Barbarian Essentials etc) went to the Dragon magazine.

The two adventures we ran on monday night were based on the theme of 'something stinks in the sewers of Fallcrest' and were very similar in design. They both consisted of an initial battle with bullywugs as the players entered the sewers, a short travel followed by an attack, a bit more travelling and then a boss battle in a bigger room.

This may or may not work...

I like barbarians... 4th edition is the first time I can say that... It's, to me, the first time they felt like something other than a fighter without armour and a bit of an attitude.

(Update 28th Oct 09: we're in the google search results! We're on the front page, and pretty much the top result for searches on 'leeds dnd', 'leeds dungeons and dragons' and 'leeds 4th ed')

Well, we've been crawled by the googlebot, twice...

Todays material for D&DI subscribers is Wizard Essentials - a document that basically goes through the different implements and races and advises you whats best.

The Black Paw still stands as the party heads back to Fallcrest. Sometime later a shadowy figure appears in the forest. He is cloaked from head to toe in black robes. He walks past two wolf carcasses and looks at the door of the Black Paw and he sees through the window a broken table and a smouldering table. His frame seems to slump, “Not again” he whispers as he begins the walk to the door.

The two new builds are nice...

Thunderborn - spirits of thunder gather around you, and your class feature is War Cry, an encounter close blast 3 which pushes targets 1 square when you kill an enemy

Whirling - an agile, two weapon build. the class feature has lots of benefits... Treat any one handed weapon as an off-hand weapon, shift 2 squares when you bloody an enemy and any adjacent enemies at the end of the shift grant you combat advantage, and whirling lunge... Encounter power when you kill an enemy, shift 2 qaures, and deal 1W from your off-hand weapon to any enemy you can see...
