I few months ago I blogged about having a one stop place where 4e DM’s could go to download adventures for a night of gaming. Many people chimed in, and the idea seemed to be a hit, after all, a place to find 4e adventures would be very handy to have.
Well, there’s a great D&D blog out there called Sarah Darkmagic, and in that blog, Sarah was already indexing D&D adventures. It’s a wonderful little resource, and I figured that instead of splitting things up all over the place, why not give Sarah the chance to host the delves on her index.
Well, I’m glad to say that she jumped at the chance, and as of today, the 4e Downloadable Delves idea I came up with back in February lives on her site. Together we came up with the rules for submission, and I urge you to get to work and crank out great content, which I know it’s easy for the online D&D community. The site is live and hungry for adventures. 🙂
Here is her post with the official announcement. Drop on by Sarah’s site, introduce yourselves and be nice. I told her newbiedm.com readers were kick ass. Don’t make me look bad. 😉

Do you guys have a site built for these yet? If not are you guys working on one?

Yes, Sarahdarkmagic.com will be the site where the delves are hosted.

I’m a little confused. Her index covers a lot of paid stuff. Will the free delves have their own section? Is it already up and I’m missing it?

I’m working on a way to filter out just the Downloadable Delves as well as any other downloadable encounters that are available for free. To do this, I added a new field called availability and added it to the database search page. It will take me a little while to update each entry in the current database. I don’t have any downloadable delves yet, but as soon as I get some, I will have an availability option with that tag. Does that help?

This idea appears to have been 4E delves from the beginning, yet the sample format on Sara’s site includes “System: (Pathfinder, 4E, etc.)” has this idea now expanded to include delves for other editions and systems, or is the system stat a mistake?

Yeah, the original idea was for 4e adventures. My adventure database allows for other systems and I wasn’t sure I wanted to keep it solely to 4e. However, my focus is really on 4e adventures and I try to spend most of my time in order of: 4e, D&D, D&D-based (not sure what the correct terminology is), and other RPGs. My main reason for including non-4e stuff is that I often steal maps and fluff from older modules and I thought some DMs might want to do the same.

I think d20 is the term you’re looking for.
Yeah, that helps. I don’t know how hard this would be to do, but it might be worth adding a separate interface for just the Downloadable Delves, since it’s a catchy tagline that seems to have attracted a fair amount of interest. You could have submission links and guidelines on that same page to encourage people to submit adventures.

I will work on a separate interface with the submission links and guidelines. For now, I have this page. http://www.sarahdarkmagic.com/rpg/availability/downloadable-delve I hope that will help for now. I also added a link to it in the main menu.

Awesome. I’m kicking around some ideas for a submission, but I have about five other projects currently ongoing, so I make no promises.
