The latest issue of Dragon Magazine has an article titled “Art of the Kill”, with feats, items, paragon paths and other loads of crunch to carve out your own assassin into your game. But there is an interesting sidebar on there that opens up the possibility of an assassin core class in the next Player’s… [Read more…]
This weekend I was going to play somewhere other than my house, and I intended on using Dungeon Tiles. Now, these things are prone to sliding around a lot on table surfaces, so I came up with a little something I plan on using whenever I take my game to someone elses house. It’s a… [Read more…]
A lot of people have written about this, but I feel I should jump in as well. The Core Mechanic, an RPG Blog way better than this one could ever hope to be, has been hard at work self-publishing a book composed entirely of articles written by RPG bloggers. Putting this book together has been a… [Read more…]
If you are planning on picking up Dungeon Delve, and using Dungeon Tiles with it, be warned, the book uses the “Halls of the Giant Kings” set in 7 of the 30 delves. That set is currently out of print, and based on the prices it is fetching on Ebay it looks like it is… [Read more…]
Monte’s getting in the subscription based model, offering daily (!) updates, encounters, maps by Ed Bourelle (SkeletonKey Games), and other fun D&D goodies.

I stumbled accross this webpage and thought it was worth pointing it out. It’s called YeOldMapMaker.com and that’s just it. You’re given a blank grid to play with, and a small collection of symbols, including outdoor stuff as well as indoors. You can then place the symbols unto the grid and make a battlemap. I’m not… [Read more…]

Character Races (Deva, Gnome, Goliath, Half-Orc, Shifter) Chapter 2. Classes (Avenger, Barbarian, Bard, Druid, Invoker, Shaman, Sorcerer, Warden) Chapter 3. Character… [Read more…]
So after using my paper condition tokens, I switched over to Alea Tools because they are probably the best thing out there right now for the 4th ed. DM looking for a solution to the game’s bookkeeping. I also use them for Ranger’s Quarry’s, Paladin’s Divine Challenges, etc… But last session I did something different with… [Read more…]
