Couple of neat finds…
Here are a couple of neat things I found that you can use in your D&D game. Enjoy! First, here’s a thieves cant dictionary. Now your Guildmaster at the Thieve’s Guild doesn’t have to sound like he came out of 2010. Let’s Kimbaw the Cull. Second, here’s a bunch of art from old books. … [Read more…]
A brief video on 3d Dungeon Tiles
This is a brief example on 3d Dungeon Tiles. I’ve written about this before, but now you can see them on these fancy moving pictures on my youtube channel thingy on the intertubes. I apologize in advance for the muffled sound, I have to get a better mic if I plan to keep making these… [Read more…]
Improved Initiative: Running combats with the Combat Manager v1.6.0
This is the second part of the D&D 4e Combat Manager v1.6.0 overview.

NewbieDM Tutorial: The Battlemap, a guest post by Jonathan Roberts
With this website, I’ve tried to give new DM’s out there tools, resources, and tips to run a better D&D game with. One of the things that I’ve never been able to offer before today, simply because I have no skills at it, is a robust mapping tutorial or series. So I reached out to… [Read more…]
Warstories: The Game Recap
Here’s a quick thing I’m sure all DM’s do in one form or another, whether it’s via email, wiki, pen and paper, or some other form: the game recap. In my particular case, we don’t get to game as often as most of us would like, so as game recap is a great way to… [Read more…]
Pre-Campaign Player Questionnaire
Many times, we as DM’s do not have the luxury of playing with a group of people we’ve know for a long time and are comfortable with. I happen to have that luxury, playing with a group I’ve known and have been friends with for over 20 years in some cases, and haven’t had to… [Read more…]
NewbieDM Review: Kobold Quarterly 11
I had a chance to read Kobold Quarterly, a D&D magazine believed by many to be the spiritual successor to Dragon Magazine (in its print version pre-4th Ed.) and I can see why that is. It is a nicely put together mag with tons of D&D content, whether you’re playing 3.x, Pathfinder or my system… [Read more…]
