Using Dungeon Tiles with Dungeon Delve

March 10, 2009 by newbiedm

If you are planning on picking up Dungeon Delve, and using Dungeon Tiles with it, be warned, the book uses the “Halls of the Giant Kings” set in 7 of the 30 delves. That set is currently out of print, and based on the prices it is fetching on Ebay it looks like it is […]

More 4th Ed. Errata at Wizard’s?!?

March 7, 2009 by newbiedm

We had some in January, but it seems, (unless I’m confused) that Wizard’s rolled their stealth and quietly updated some things on Wednesday. Updated on 3/4/09 were: Draconomicon, The Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide, Martial Powers, and the Adventurer’s Vault. Find it here

EN Publishing has announced that their 12 part 3.5 campaign, “War of the Burning Sky” is coming to 4th ed. They are releasing a hardback of the campaign for 3.5, and with the release of the new GSL they are updating it for 4th ed. I am excited about this, I’ve read a few of […]

The PHB2 Table of Contents is up… and the newbiedm.com domain name is as well…

March 3, 2009 by newbiedm

The PHB2 table of contents was released by WOTC yesterday. I haven’t read much about it, so I figured I’d post it here just in case. Regardless, you can find it here. Chapter 1. Character Races (Deva, Gnome, Goliath, Half-Orc, Shifter) Chapter 2. Classes (Avenger, Barbarian, Bard, Druid, Invoker, Shaman, Sorcerer, Warden) Chapter 3. Character […]

The Dungeon Master’s Guide 2 Cover

January 20, 2009 by newbiedm

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.

Colored condition tokens

December 8, 2008 by newbiedm

Reader “Nariah” was kind enough to take my rather bland condition tokens and create colored versions of them, to really make them stand out at the table. Nice work! If you aren’t sure how to use these, they are meant to be placed under your miniature or token when a condition affects them. Very simple […]

So we ran our first skill challenge…

December 2, 2008 by newbiedm

First off, I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving on Thursday, and a great long weekend. I was able to gather the group on Sunday for our game, and almost everyone managed to make it… if everyone who plays were to show up for a session, I would be running 9 guys at the table!!! (YIKES!)… We had […]

Minions… Broken?

November 25, 2008 by newbiedm

I recently wrote about a lack of minion creation rules in 4th Edition, and now, in the latest official D&D podcast, minions are brought up. One of the hosts answers a question about feedback received from players, and what he feels isn’t working in 4th Ed. He goes on to say he’s “dubious” about minions, and he talks about […]

Newbie Dm’s Bestiarum Vocabulum – The Airship Pirate Captain

November 21, 2008 by newbiedm

I am bored in a hotel room, reading a copy of Adventurer’s Vault, so bear with me. I read the entry on airships and thought of pirates. It’s late, so he may not be all that well designed, but a bad pirate trumps a non-existing pirate in my book… 🙂 He’d rather fight only if […]
