April 15, 2009 by newbiedm

I’m rolling out an interview section to the website titled “1d12 questions with…” where I’ll roll a d12 and ask that number of questions to the subject of the interview, who today happens to be the very gracious & approachable Mike Mearls, lead designer at Wizards of the Coast.

I recently came across a nice piece of software for DM’s of 4th Ed. who need a little bit of help organizing and keeping their campaign stuff in order.

Today is make yourself a monster day around the RPG Blogs, and while the NewbieDM is monstrous enough with this crazy beard I’ve grown (for no apparent reason), I’m instead guest blogging a self-made monster for another member of the RPG community. Jeff Greiner, which many of you undoubtedly know as the host of the […]

March 21, 2009 by newbiedm

In the interest of full disclosure, I ask this without actually participating in D&D Gameday, as it was my kid’s birthday today… But based on reports I’ve read around the blogosphere, the module “One Dark Night in Weeping Briar” ran waaaaay long.

A quick note, because I’ve been seeing this more and more in web searches leading to newbiedm.com, regarding the new stealth rules in the PHB2.
