Talking 2e D&D with Mark from Dice Monkey
My friend mark Meredith from the Dice Monkey blog invited me unto a Google hangout to talk about 2e D&D. I have fond memories of that edition, so I jumped at the chance. Here’s our chat.

Playing Marvel via Google Hangouts
I was invited to play Marvel Heroic Roleplaying by my friend Mark, from the Dice Monkey blog and the Marvel-centric Plot Points blog. The game was run on Google+ hangouts, and since I had never played Marvel before I jumped at the chance. I have a lot of friends who have been a part of the […]

WEGs “The Pirates of Prexiar” converted to FFG SW
Here’s my attempt at a quick and dirty conversion of the introductory adventure for the 2nd Edition Revised and Expanded version of West End Games SW RPG, The Pirates of Prexiar, into the new FFG SW system… I am not going to reproduce the whole adventure, just the relevant bits. This isn’t just a blog […]
Unpacking the new Star Wars Beginner’s Role Playing Game box
I received the new Star Wars Edge of the Empire Beginner’s game in the mail yesterday, and thought I’d share with you the contents of the box. I can’t speak yet to the actual playing experience, that won’t happen for another week or so, but I can comment on the contents of the game. It’s worth noting that I […]

Has The First DnD Next Product Been Spoiled By Amazon?
Found this on Amazon: “Storm Over Baldur’s Gate: Sundering Adventure 1” Are we looking at the first dndnext adventure?

Releases in 2013, but dndnext is more than likely arriving in 2014……
Playing Dungeon! With My Kid

2nd Edition D&D Coming Back, Old Modules Coming Back… What’s Next?
It seems that Wizards of the Coast is on a reprint kick. Of course, it’s easy to figure out why. 4th Ed. is on its way out, and at this point that’s more reality than speculation. Books haven’t been announced, and yeah, Dungeon/Dragon content is still being released, but…. obviously 5th Ed. is king right […]
Star Wars RPG finally announced (and the name bums me out…)
So news out of Gencon today for fans of the SW franchise. Fantasy Flight Games has finally released information about their game, and is even selling a beta version of the rules (for a hefty $30 price). The first in what will be a series of three games set to be released in 2013, 2014, […]

I called it
So at the Gencon keynote WOTC announced today that the DnD playtest process will take two years, and that they are going to open their back catalog in electronic format next year. So that means a 2014 release of the game, just in time for the 40th anniversary of DnD. I called it all, including […]

I haven’t really written much yet about D&D Next, but I will, but right now’s not the time. I’ve given my opinion here or there, but I haven’t really reviewed the game or anything like that. WOTC published an interview today with me for their playtester profile series… If you’d like my general opinion about […]
