Browsing Posts in D&D

I would love to see a decent action RPG based on the current D&D rules, released for the PS3, thus I have been waiting on info on Daggerdale. We wanted to make the game as accessible as possible, just let players play, harkening back to the ‘old school’ days of gaming. You should be able [...]

I have had the 4E Underdark source book on preorder for a while. I noticed this afternoon that the local B&N had one in stock, which I thought was strange since it does not officially release until Tuesday. I did not flip around through the book very much; was more or less pressed for time [...]

Enjoyable 4E DMG2 Review

No comments

I always enjoy a good review. In fact, regardless of my hobby du jour, when I am searching, research, and reading, I always appreciate a finely crafted review. Such is the case this Game Cryer’s review of the 4E Dungeon Master’s Guide 2: In many ways, this is a true sequel. For example, what seemed [...]

4E Players get a break

No comments

In what can only be described as a tremendous deal, Wizards of the Coast is offering up a special “holiday” bundle for 4E players. Featuring the Player’s Handbook (PHB) and the Player’s Handbook 2 (PHB2), 4th Edition Player’s Handbook Collection: 4th Edition D&D Core Rulebooks is a steal of a deal. Amazon has this set [...]

Monsters that suck.

No comments

Mmmmm. Gnome Stew. I stumbled across this site looking for some 4E materials. Now comes an article covering some of the all time worst, dare I say completely stupid monsters of all time! This has to be the funniest D&D type article I have read in a while. Then again, maybe it is the Jack [...]

This is not so much a review of the 4E Monster Manual 2 (MM2) as it is a few random comments about one of the newest books in my 4E library. I order this one earlier this week from Amazon, which means the MM2 only set me back $23.07 (no taxes; free second day shipping [...]

I ran across A Hamsterish Hoard of Dungeons and Dragons over the weekend, and thought it was worth a mention here. If you are still into “the box set” version of D&D or the later Rules Cyclopedia version, you will probably enjoy the various trinkets that this blog has to offer. I like how the [...]

I started perusing the Player’s Handbook (PHB) and had a couple of immediate comments. First, what happened to “roll 3d6 six times, in order, apply the scores?” Second, what the heck is going on with the lack of evilness and the pre allocated deities? Finally, Dragonborn? But I want to roll my stats! The 4E [...]

On a drunken tangent I decided to order the latest Dungeons and Dragons rules, along with a handful of supplements. I have to admit that at the time I ordered I was not as drunk as I may have wished, and it really was not much of a tangent. I am a lifelong RPG fan, [...]

I am really now sure how I came across The DM of the Rings comic strip, rather webcomic, earlier this week, but OMG, this thing had me LMAO. At times it was so bad that my wife would look at me in bewilderment, and finally pat me on the head and say something along the [...]

The last of the original Dungeon Masters, Dave Arneson, passed away today just thirteen months after Gary Gygax (March 2008). There are numerous guys my age that were very much influenced by the original box set of Dungeons & Dragons, the “red” and “blue” Basic and Expert sets, and of course Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.
