Daily Encounter started as a useful site, presenting easy to incorporate encounters, often complete with maps and stat blocks. It has blossomed into and incredible resource over the last few months as John Pope has added a number of new designers to his list of authors (a few of which have also been highlighted by KoboldQuarterly.com). Each week they present new and flavorful elements to add to your game, including new themes, feats and terrain elements. Its a must-read for any 4e player or DM.Here’s a summary from the site founder, John Pope:
Daily Encounter is a site that offers a group of 4E DnD enthusiasts an opportunity to share their ideas for the game. Paul (@paulbaalham), Adam (@blindgeekuk), Micheal (@digitaldraco) and myself (@obsidiancrane) all contribute to the site; from DM advice and campaign craft articles to home brew rules (including themes) and Adam’s Kickstarter roundups.
Right now the site offers a repository of over 40 encounters (mostly heroic tier), over a dozen homebrew rules elements for DMs (and players) to consider along with numerous editorial articles and even a selection of monsters both new and old. Our one hope is that you enjoy our offerings and have fun playing your game.

I love the site of the month. I can go and look over a new site’s archives and find all sorts of great goodies in there. This one looks good just on their design articles. I haven’t even started in on their encounters, yet.
I agree, Quirky. I just wish I’d heard of them sooner!
That’s one of the joys the site of the month, you get to share your favorites so they can become other people’s favorites!
Glad you guys are enjoying the site. We have all been a little busy over the last couple of weeks so content has slowed. However I hope to resume adding stuff over the next couple of weeks. We do read feedback and would love to hear from folks.
Thanks to Brian for getting us time as a “site of the month”.
