I've waited all month for this (longer than that, as I was stoked when they first announced it).  Regardless, I am very impressed, and very happy.  This is great.

I'm both instinctive and emotional. I value my own instincts and desires, and either ignore or crush anything that stands in my way; planning and foresight are unnecessary. At best, I'm determined and fierce; at worst, I'm headstrong and infantile.

WOW This is a solid Super Dungeon Adventure ! 

The adventure is a cool wink to the past, while remaining true to 4E and its a beautiful re-imagined Hut. There is so many rooms detailed and so many Encounters and even Random Encounter Table ! I love the Astral Hall, the Armor Museum, the Garden Maze etc...

The artwork is remarkable and the maps are amazing too.

Huge Astral Diamong to Craig Campbell for this brilliant delivery 
And to Noah Bradley, Bernadette Carstensen and Mike Schley for the nice art and cartophaphy.

Awesome adventure, and paragon tier support!  Win win! This is exactly why I keep resubbing to DDI. This is a quality adventure that is a nod to the past while working well in the 4e system. I pity the adventurers who will get chewed up by this nasty mix of tricks, traps and beasts. Anyone notice the soviet WWII tank and the "dwarven steam tank from another world".  Hmmm... twin nods to 4e heritage of table top war gaming and a very famous MMO?

Great adventure, thank you very much. More like this please Mr. Editor.

The current edition is BECMI, the most popular form of Basic D&D and the adventure is the classic Red Box quest to kill Bargle the evil magic user. Check it out, learn about the games roots, and enjoy the story as it unfolds.

I'm glad people are enjoying the adventure. My thanks to Noah Bradley, Bernadette Carstensen, and Mike Schley for providing wonderful artwork to complement my words. And thanks to Ray Vallese and Chris Sims for their editing and development work. That's a big adventure to edit and run through development.

If any of you have questions or want to to discuss any part of the hut in more detail, feel free to post. I'll check back in every now and then.

Heck, both of those were in the original, way way back in Dragon #83, forever ago.  This adventure is FILLED with nods like that to the original, and really shows as an excellent adaptation of the 1E adventure to now, 27 years later.  Just enough thrills for us old-timers who remember it from way back, but still a solid, meaty game even if you have none of the nostalgia. 

A really enjoyable read, and I'd love to run this sometime for my table.

Now I have to figure out a reason for my PC's to want to go to this thing. This adventure looks really cool and different.

Hey all,

The Design & Development article I penned in conjunction with my Dancing Hut adventure has gone live on WotC's website.

Check it out.

Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (Designing the Dancing Hut)

This article describes a bit of the process I went through to translate the original Dragon adventure into 4E. I hope you enjoy it.

Is it possible to have the maps uploaded made larger?


I normally boost things up to 1inch squares but these are too small to preserve any details.
