There is a lot of playtesting going on these days. Not only is there a lot of playtesting, across multiple games, doing similar things in different ways, but a lot of this design has my head spinning and wanting to do a deeper dive into why some of this design is trending.

Yes, I’m lagging behind with this First Impression of the most recent Unearthed Arcana in the One D&D Playtest.

This can be a little confusing, because this isn’t the Siege of Kalaman as described in the Dragonlance Chronicles, but an earlier point in the War of the Lance. “A” Siege.

Shadow of the Dragon Queen Chapter 6: City of Lost Names The opening section of this chapter, leading to the location that the PCs have been trying to find, is another of those callbacks that reminds me a bit of the original adventure and the Sla-Mori, the hidden path into Pax Tharkas.
