Game Day: Halfway through the D&D 4E Playtest Campaign

We're about halfway through our Planetorn play-test campaign, with the fourth session happening today, and perhaps another three or four to go before it runs its course. This milestone has me reflecting on where the campaign's been, where it's going, and what I hope to accomplish before it's all over.

Today's adventure finds our heroes having returned from the alternative material plane of Fierth, a sand-blasted realm which is threatened with destruction by the machinations of the red dragon Sulara. Our heroes have determined that the dragon is attempting to break open an ancient sealed portal to the elemental plane of fire within Mount Infernus. The mountain is the focal point of Fierth's ley lines, and when the portal falls, it's feared that the entire plane will go up in flames.
