Dragon's Maw - D&D 4th Edition

Amanda Lange's 4th Edition D&D Home Campaign

Every 300 years, the Starfall crosses through the sky, bringing with it the portents of the apocalypse. Earthquakes, underground fires, and the awakening of the Dark Gods herald a rebirth of the world. The last such event occurred 330 years ago, and this time… it’s late. The heroes of the world are all dressed up, with no gods to slay… But where will fortune take you, inexperienced travelers in a world expecting the worst?

General Notes

This is a D&D fourth edition campaign starting with level one characters.

We will use the most recent revision of the core books, errata dated 8/11/08, for the use of Skill Challenges and other erratum.

I tend to tweak rules from time to time, though there are no specific home rules being added as of now other than changes for the setting. Any home rule proposed will be run by the current players openly before it’s added. From my review, the most likely tweaks to rules will surround Skill Challenges (most analysis state that these don’t work very well as written, so they will take some practice as they are in very few published adventures). The campaign is likely to run once monthly during Home Campaign Sunday, or Saturdays depending on my work schedule and other possible conflicts.
