Yesterday on Twitter I suggested that with the goal (as stated by Monte Cook) of being “a set of rules that unites all the previous editions“, that perhaps the new version of D&D could be called “D&D Generations”. I had been thinking about names that day… words came to mind like “Era”, “Epoch” or “Age”.… Continue reading D&D Generations

Occupy Waterdeep!
Well, another challenge was issued today. One I immediately had an idea for, so I decided to jump in and give it a whirl during lunch. It helps that I have not done one of these in a long time and have been missing it. Anyway, it started with a tweet from Monte Cook today…… Continue reading Occupy Waterdeep!
The Temple of Air (Zeb Cook)
Back in 2001, I ran a Q&A with Zeb Cook [read it here], much like I did with Gary Gygax around the same time (found here Part 1 and Part 2). These interviews were lost to me for many years, until I ran into them last year (2010) and posted them. The Temple of Air… Continue reading The Temple of Air (Zeb Cook)
Monster Vault: Threats to the Nentire Vale (Unreview)
Choose Your Own Adventure… You find yourself sitting at your computer, staring at the screen before you. It seems a mysterious figure known as “Weem” has written an article on his website. At a glance, the work appears to be about a Dungeons and Dragons product he recently received. He goes on at length about… Continue reading Monster Vault: Threats to the Nentire Vale (Unreview)
Is Pathfinder D&D to you?
I was considering this question myself recently as I have been telling people, “I’ve stopped playing D&D for now and am playing Pathfinder”. The thing is, I feel like I am still playing D&D, or at least the previous version, which makes sense. My official (short) answer to this question is that yes, I am… Continue reading Is Pathfinder D&D to you?
Not Starting at the Tavern: Idea 2
In every campaign I run, I look for new/unique (to my players) ways to bring my players together at the start. I love reading about these from other players as well, so I thought I would share a few of mine. This second idea (see the first) is one I used for my very first… Continue reading Not Starting at the Tavern: Idea 2
Not Starting at the Tavern: Idea 1
In every campaign I run, I look for new/unique ways to bring my players together at the start. Now, when I say new and unique, I don’t mean to imply that the means by which I bring them together have never been used before – rather that I have not used them with these players… Continue reading Not Starting at the Tavern: Idea 1
Piratecat VS Gygax
There is an effort over on EN World to move Gary Gygax’s forum account to the top of the XP list (I happen to be in the #1 spot at the moment). Right now, his account (Col Pladoh) is pretty much tied with Piratecat (aka PC, aka @KevinKulp) and people were talking about them battling… Continue reading Piratecat VS Gygax
Cleric changes? Don’t tell Neo
I’ve been quiet here as I have not been doing a lot of D&D things lately, but with the Cleric changes today (and the reaction to them) I thought I would throw this together – enjoy! Personally, I’m so far removed from gaming at this point that I have no grasp of how this effects… Continue reading Cleric changes? Don’t tell Neo
Give Indy the (EN World) XP
I was goofing around (graphically) at EN World earlier today with a crate of EN World XP and had this wacky idea to take it a little father…
