As I keep digesting the news that Wizards of the Coast is already working on a follow up edition to 4e , my mind is wondering how and what they can do to accomplish the goal of bringing back fans of all previous editions under this one game. It’s a lofty goal, and I’m skeptical that it… [Read more…]
A rather clever guy on twitter named @newbiedm tweeted the following after 5e was announced: I wonder if Elminster will wake up next to Bob Newhart and realize it was all a dream. Funny, right? Yeah, he’s pretty clever. But while he was probably trying to be cute, the question about what the heck to do with… [Read more…]
So the cat is out of the bag… Not that I was hiding the cat in the bag, because I didn’t know anything, but the cat’s out of the bag. There’s a new D&D in the works, and an open playtest will help chart its course. So what do we know about this new D&D?… [Read more…]

I think that owning two sets of this would probably get you more use out of it though. The tiles… [Read more…]
One of the things I expected to see one day in the life of 4e was a pair of robust boxed sets for the Shadowfell and the Feywild. While it doesn’t look like we’re going to get that any time soon, we’ve gotten a couple of things that attempt to bring the two 4e additions… [Read more…]
I wanted to continue my series on classic boxed sets, but I had run out of sets. Luckily, readers chimed in and offered to contribute. So today we are going to look at Hollow World, kindly presented by reader (and now contributor!) Christopher. Remeber, if you have an old boxed set you’d like to snap pictures… [Read more…]
