New 4th Edition Errata at the Wizard’s site
Up today at the official site, new errata for all the books, including the DM Screen, Martial Powers, Adventurer’s Vault, and the Forgotten Realms. Find it here
The Dungeon Master’s Guide 2 Cover
The book isn’t available until September 15th, but here is the cover. It’s the same leggy hot chick from the PHB. Hey, Mike Mearls… give her a comic book or something, where she comes out, I don’t know, in a medieval magical bikini or something, why not? She looks like a hot gypsie.
The new D&D Minis packaging
Here they are, for those of you interested. I don’t know if this is old or not, first time I’ve seen it, btw… The “Player Handbook Heroes” line. Chatter on some forums indicates these may be resculpts, I don’t know. These images come courtesy of Amazon… I’m no insider, just stumbled upon them…. BTW, the […]
Photoshop and Dungeon Tiles redux
So I’ve said before that I have every dungeon tile set that Wizard’s has put out. I think they are cool, and useful. I even have multiple sets of some of them, for the big 8×10 tiles. But I’ve also said that once I buy something, it’s mine to do with as I please, as […]

NewbieDM Tutorial – Printing Battle Maps to a 1″ Scale
So you’ve made yourself some kick ass tokens, but now you want to make yourself some kick ass maps to use them with. Well, you’ve come to the right place! Taking a map from the Wizard’s gallery, and converting it to a 1″ playable map isn’t very difficult, and it looks better than some Dry-Erase […]

When are there too many players in a group?
So when I bought the 4th Ed. books, I was itching to play D&D. I was out of it a while, and really wanted to find a group to play with. I thought I’d be out of luck, as most of the guys I used to play with had their own things going on, and […]
Up at 3am… here’s my Encounter and Level Advancement Sheet
I cooked up a quick sheet that I’m going to use to keep track of the party’s level progression based on the DMG’s 8-10 encounter rule. I’m finding it useful, I hope someone out there can use it. I left my stuff on there on purpose, so you get an idea of how it is […]

One day we’ll make our own D&D miniatures
The future of manufacturing is here. Sort of. This may be old news to some of you, but I saw this today and was blown away. Mark my words, within the next 15 years, protecting Autocad files from internet piracy will be all the buzz. Imagine torrents of CAD files for the D&D miniatures, then […]

Finally a new post… Ringing in the New Year with a skill challenge!
And I’m back. The holidays are always a busy time for me, with two little kids, family, friends, the house full of people, my anniversary and my wife’s birthday all bunched up at the same time. But I survived, so it’s time to start blogging again. This Saturday we are playing again, and I’m having […]

Isle of Dread now exists in the Feywild!
So I was skimming my copy of the Manual of the Planes, which WOTC released today, and was pleasantly surprised to discover a few old-school things in there… The Isle of Dread! It exists within the Feywild. Nice! Spelljammers… I was never a fan of these helm-driven ships, but can appreciate TSR-lovin’ when I see […]
