A few weeks back, I posted a miniature rant. In essence, something is wrong with the current Eberron organized play campaign. Seriously wrong. In the intervening weeks, the Heists of the Last War adventure series has gotten worse. Not a week goes by with a heist adventure, most of which have never seen the inside of an …

When I started writing blog entries again on this site, my goal was to have something insightful written every week. It is not for the lack of subject matter that my last post was over a month ago, but a series of unfortunately life circumstances and heavy burnout. Writing is both a creative endeavour and …
(There are several arguments about this, feel free to browse this, this, and this before continuing.) Someone brought up the issue of the quantum ogre on the Eberron Discord server recently. I had a fascinating time looking up the terminology and a few different arguments. Simply put, the quantum ogre is when a Game Master removes …
For the past few months, I have scoured the DMs Guild and other resources for images I can use for commercial projects. All the portraits from Pregenerated Characters for Eberron Campaigns came from the Guild, for example, but it is difficult to find certain races represented. Landscapes and scenes are the most difficult. One of the BEST …
(Get Pregenerated Characters for Eberron Campaigns on DMs Guild!) The Eberron Campaign Player's Guide and Eberron Campaign Dungeon Master's Guide were released onto the Wizards of the Coast site and available on DMs Guild. September 21, 2018 officially kicks off the campaign, if the documents are any indication. That is only a week away at the …
There was not much to report regarding Trust No One this week. We are about 50% through the process and a couple groups will receive a playtest version for feedback in the next few days. I started thinking about the next chapter in the Fear Reveals Truth series, but it is too early in the stage for …
A lot has happened since last week when I last updated regarding the Fear Reveals Truth adventure path. The next adventure is still coming along--outline and scenes are pretty solid, and writing is progressing--but with conventions and personal matters creeping into the mix, my fear is that the tentative release date we are planning on might …
I do not generally spend much time on Twitter--I find it a bit difficult to navigate and track back topics--but I opened the social media platform last week and saw this: https://twitter.com/mikemearls/status/1029375580213399552 The original article by DM David talks about the changes coming for Season 8 of D&D Adventurers League and the "play to win" attitude …
Late in the process of writing Curtain Call: A Sharn Adventure, we realized there were too many ideas and stories we wanted to bring to the players, but there was not enough time or space to complete any of them in one adventure. Many people have asked whether Curtain Call is the beginning of an "adventure path". …

(Get Curtain Call: A Sharn Adventure on DMs Guild!) It is with great pleasure I share a bit of the story behind this brand new adventure written by Keith Baker, Robert Adducci, and myself for the Eberron campaign setting, now available in thanks to the Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron by the same Keith Baker! Back in …
