TheSheDM’s Tutorial on Building an Aerial Grid

February 22, 2011 by TheSheDM

If you read Penny Arcade, you might remember Gabe’s post regarding his infamous free-fall encounter and you might have been impressed with his multi-tiered set up. I was, and a while back I decided to create my own version. An upcoming game for my players involved their first combat with a real flying opponent. How […]

February 18, 2011 by newbiedm

“We haven’t seen a Dungeon yet, all we’re doing is talking to people, bringing down corrupt political figures, and killing monsters out in the wilderness. This is really different.” My 4e campaign consisted of my homebrew storyline, which was the backdrop for the published adventures I hacked a bit to fit my storyline. By the […]

Transitioning from 4e to Dragon Age

February 12, 2011 by newbiedm

My experience as a DM has been a unique one compared to a lot of other DM’s out there. I suspect many people DM’ing D&D started out early on, with the boxed sets, then AD&D, and followed the logical footsteps of the game up until the point where we are today with D&D 4e. My […]

4e: Easy to run, but is it as easy for players?

January 5, 2011 by newbiedm

My 4e game is dead. It has been for a while now. Yep. Elvis dead. JFK dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. There are a few reasons for this, some personal on my end, but mostly logistical and scheduling. Then there’s burnout, but not the ever popular “DM burnout”. Not that, as I’m willing to run a […]

The Smallest of Gaming Groups: DM+1

November 29, 2010 by newbiedm

Recently, after a 3 years hiatus due to my son being born, I’ve gotten back into Warcraft. I played Warcraft before 4e came out in order to satisfy a gaming itch I had, and now the recent Cataclysm event in the game piqued my curiosity. But this isn’t an article about Warcraft, but rather what […]
