Re: DQ Adventures

["rthorm" <dqn@earthlink.net>]

As these things tend to do, it took me longer than I had hoped to get
the outline of my Medford adventure pulled together and in presentable
form, but it's done.

I'd like to direct everyone who is interested in sharing adventure
ideas over to the DQN-list for that, however.  The DQ-rules group
should concentrate on the game mechanics (and especially new rules or
revised and improved versions of existing rules).  The DQN-list group
already has a file of Adventures, and further contributions are always
welcome.

The Medford adventure can be found at:
