Hating the sound of my voice…

Just a quick post to plug two things… I had the chance to join in on a discussion of the “Underdark” book over at “The Tome Show” podcast with the show’s host, Jeff Greiner and two additional guests, Mark from Dice Monkey and Chris from Icosahedrophilia. Go check it out if you want to hear […]

New DM’s: Have fun reskinning and playing with keywords

February 26, 2010

One aspect of D&D 4th Ed. that I like a lot is its simplicity in letting you make the game as customized as you want, both rules wise and story/role-playing wise.   The other day on twitter I went as far as calling it “possibly the most abstract D&D yet”, and some people didn’t really […]

I was alerted that the PRONE and DOMINATED conditions received a beating with the errata stick, so my original cards are wrong.  Here are the corrected cards.

Homemade condition cards

In my quest to speed up the table of players world wide (how presumptuous of me) I offer these homemade condition cards.  The text will seem a bit different to you than what you may be used to, and that’s only because I wanted to stay out of trouble, but the meaning didn’t change.  I […]

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.  […]

Best Piece of D&D Art, Ever!

I’ve been fighting the urge. I really have. I put this up on my twitter account the other day, and swore that I wouldn’t bring him over to the blog. I fought it so hard, but ultimately, the power of breakdance and boombox is too strong, too persuasive. I invite you now to name this […]

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 […]

My 200th post, on delves and a D&D love letter

February 15, 2010

So, I’ve decided what to do with the downloadable delves idea.  I think I’m going to host them right on my site, with the following restrictions: No WOTC art. No WOTC monster stat blocks from books. A created stat block from the Monster Builder is okay, unless I’m told otherwise. Thumbnail images of maps created […]

West End Games is dead, long live West End Games

I am a huge fan of the West End Games Star Wars d6 game.  In fact, if I got two calls on the same day, one with a D&D invite, and one with a d6 Star Wars invite, I’d most likely choose to play Star Wars.  That’s how much I like it, but unfortunately it’s […]

Warstories: The imploding campaign

February 8, 2010

I have run the same campaign since the release of 4e.  We’ve been able to last together as a unit for this amount of time for a number of reasons, primarily because we all love gaming and as adults nearing the age of 40, playing with kids at the FLGS is not an option.  Also, […]
