Advice you’d give to someone wanting to write down and flesh out their campaign setting?
@ChrisPerkinsDnD What would be a piece of advice you'd give to someone wanting to write down and flesh out their campaign setting?
— Mistle-Rose (@RoseArtemis) November 27, 2016
Start with a small geographical area, such as a village and environs, or an island. Avoid defining the whole world up front. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/SP0GKnI5pM

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Sitting down to do some writing; Do you start with history, or plot structure, when building a new adventure?
— Exploding DM ☠ (@Askren) November 27, 2016
I write the adventure synopsis (summary) first and try to keep it brief. It helps me internalize the scope. Then I do maps. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/f9d4K3OiKC

Will all/any of Unearthed Arcana ideas become AL legal anytime soon?
@JeremyECrawford @mikemearls The Unearthed Arcana contains wonderful ideas; will all/any of it become AL legal anytime soon?
— A Veritable Quandary (@Rathen_Dera) January 5, 2017
@Rathen_Dera @JeremyECrawford once it's in a published book it will be legal #wotcstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 5, 2017
Unearthed Arcana is playtest content. It's unofficial. If the content makes it into a D&D product, it becomes official at that time. #DnD https://t.co/1MY5iKeZiQ

@DeanMSimmonsSome UA (e.g, Revised Ranger) seems more “mature”. Could WotC decree “This UA is now canon” in specific cases? We have no plans to do so.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) January 5, 2017
Both'll be legal for DDAL play & players of existing ranger PCs will have the option to swap to the revised. @DeanMSimmons @JeremyECrawford
— B Lynn (@DaddyDM) January 5, 2017
@DaddyDM @DeanMSimmonsThat’s a condensed version of the text in the article. To be clear, the revised ranger will be official only when it's finished, at which point it won't be Unearthed Arcana

I cracked downtime
So far in 2017, I cracked the core of the revised downtime system. So far, this year is pretty good. #wotcstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 1, 2017
@LonremAs in player downtime for spreading rumors, making items, etc.? yup
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 1, 2017
Sick, so working from home today. Did you know that in current draft of new downtime rules your character can end up in jail? #wotcstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 3, 2017
I love a session starting and the rogue player opening with, "Before we take on the dragon, can you break me out of jail?" #wotcstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 3, 2017
@mikemearls I approve! Can we also add "wakes up in the D&D version of Las Vegas hungover and married"?
— Shane Plays (@ShanePlays) January 3, 2017
That might also be in there…. #wotcstaff https://t.co/bfGpB1bO2O
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 3, 2017
The revised rules offer two things – stuff for PCs to spend gold on, opportunities for DM to add complications to the campaign. #wotcstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 3, 2017
@bhl777speaking of things for PCs to spend gold on, any plans for a more detailed price list/availability for buying magic gear? it'll be in there, but is a little more complex than just paying cash #wotcstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 3, 2017
@mikemearls would you say that the new downtime rules are designed for short expression at table, or as an off-table thing?
— Dave Clark (@bedirthan) January 3, 2017
Mix – off table management, spawns at table complications and events. #wotcstaff https://t.co/ookOg3Xnul

@tedthesummonerDoes the Underdark Scout mean creatures with Darkvision treat the character as an unseen target when the character in darkness? yes #wotcstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) October 16, 2016
@tedthesummoner @GregDickson90 my gut reaction is that the answer is no, unless there is actually magical darkness involved. But good question. it applies only to darkvision iirc correctly #wotcstaff

@goreckiydmitriy How many people already said that Trickery paladin is too overpowered to be a player class? seen a few people say that – kind of like it that way, though, given flavor #WOTCstaff

When you’re writing an adventure…
@ChrisPerkinsDnD When you're writing an adventure, how do you decide what to put down in writing and what to leave up to the DM?
— Gavin Hayes (@GavinTheGrey) November 27, 2016
Good question. Hard to answer in a tweet, tho'. I try to imagine things that reasonable players might ask or do, and cover those. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/yzPT4P6WFT

Do you use a computer program to draw your maps?
@ChrisPerkinsDnD Do you use a computer program to draw your maps or do you use pen and paper or both?

Some maps I draw by hand. Others I create with Photoshop. Depends on the map and my mood. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/wp83Fi1jhD
