Thanks mate... I am in game right now... just checking how it's evolved and what there is to do
My foundries don't seem to be on any of the lists anymore tho
I thought I'd have a lot of AD tips by now but not so much - only about 1.7M

Thought there would be more AD by now... but there are a ton of quests up high now

A lot of foundries were removed and never automatically reposted when Tyranny of Dragons was released. They've also "improved" the profanity filter to include words like 'pass'. (Thank god). So if your quest did not use the phrase 'traverse this juncture' instead, it might be in limbo waiting for you to fix it.

Oh, and true story, there's a Bill's Cafe here in town where I live...I see it and this foundry quest comes to mind :P

And I might even do Foundry stuff again, despite... aaaaabsolutely not much changing. sigh
Wicks and Things: NW-DI4FMZRR4 : The Fenwick merchant family has lost a caravan! Can you help?
Beggar's Hollow: NW-DR6YG4J2L : Someone, or something, has stolen away many of the Fenwicks' children! Can you find out what happened to them?
Into the Fen Wood: NW-DL89DRG7B : Enter the heart of the forest. Can you discover the secret of the Fen Wood?
They still have yet to implement the changes we've all been asking for since beta. While they've added a few things to keep some people happy, I only see a handful of authors publishing quests and very few people actually playing quests from what I've heard.

Is that even Possible? :O
You'll have to publish it and receive feedback. Remember, that not everyone will find your work as awesome as you may, be prepared for 1-star reviews, they happen. In terms of exposure, you'll be hampered by the current contest for the next few weeks and it will be found in the "For Review" tab. You can not actively play the quest with friends while you work on it. You can publish it, unpublish it to edit, then re-publish the newer version, or simply re-publish newer versions. The latter has a nasty habit of keeping the older version with none of the edits on the list. You can edit while people are playing the current published version, but you'll need to re-publish for your edits to take effect.

If you have a few friends in game whom you trust for feedback, you can publish a quest and have the Final Reward Chest out of reach, so it cannot be completed. (this only works if you end on a custom map; Cryptic map reward chests cannot be moved)
If you do this, you should note in the description that it cannot be completed.
Then your friends can go through and give you feedback, and you can incorporate that in your edits before moving the Chest to its intended place.
This prevents most of the issues where people (non-friends) accidentally stumble into your draft and think your work is finished and rate you lower than if you had been finished.
