Okay.  When I want gaming news, I’ll turn to the RPG Bloggers Network, EN World, and the sort.  When I want real world news, I turn to other sites, with a wide variety of opinions and sources. I wasn’t expecting to find this  when I was looking up real-world news this morning. Happy early Halloween….

A lot of people on the Wizard’s boards have been asking for Dungeon Magazine to include high resolution maps suitable for printing at scale. I think the powers that be are listening, because Wizard’s has put out both marked and unmarked maps for the latest issue of Dungeon.  And better yet, they aren’t hidden behind […]

Gaming with Sound Effects

This is something I did the other day in a game I ran and found it pretty interesting.  I’m not sure if it’s something I’ll continue doing, mostly because it adds to the already short prep time I have available to my gaming, but I throw it out there as an idea for others to use […]

Goodbye DDM, I hardly knew ye

I’m not breaking any news here by saying this, but if you’re reading this I’m sure you know the DDM game has been cancelled.  I have recently gotten into the game a little bit, thanks to my brother (and gaming partner), and found I quite enjoy it.  It scratches, albeit briefly, my D&D itch in […]

Sharing a DDI subscription

I am contemplating asking my players to cough up and split the bill on a DDI subscription.  Between the 9 of us, it shouldn’t be too much.  I am concerened about the technical aspects of it though.  Can one account name log in twice?  What if they catch two of the same account names trying […]

Keep on the Shadowfell fun

I’ve been running the Keep on the Shadowfell for my group and we’ve all been having a blast.  4th Ed. makes it so easy to adjust encounters, that I’ve had no problem adapting the encounters for a 7-man party.  Also, using my custom made Dungeon Tiles on the table, has really helped the game move faster.  […]

Favorite characters you’ve played…

The only thing I don’t like about DMíng is the fact that I am not playing a character anymore.  I’ve always loved playing my Dwarf:  Barundar, Son of Dorn.  There’s been so many versions of him through the years that it’s been hard to not include him in the campaign I’m running.  I didn’t because […]
