I really enjoyed your preview to Gardmore and I look forward to contrasting your approach. <br /><br />I'm a big fan or organized play using innovative mechanics. In my mind, that's a perfect place to experiment with D&D. I really wish more WotC designers and freelancers would check out the innovations taking place in living campaigns. The Living Forgotten Realms battle interactive "ADCP" adventures at small and large cons are great. Winter Fantasy 2013 will also host the conclusion to the Ashes of Athas campaign, which will end with a battle using unique interactive elements. Freelancers and Wizards staff should check out the Encounters week you mentioned. Really, it is advantageous for those in the business to show up at a random store and play. It can provide a lot of insight into what works well for gamers and can also provide a creative boost when you see what others have dreamed up.Alphastreamhttp://community.wizards.com/alphastream1/blog/noreply@blogger.com
