These tips were pulled from a post I put together over on EN World called “RP Prompting and Immersion”. Here, I expand upon them further. Unique Character Aspects I want my players to be attached to their characters. I want them to care if they live or die. Whenever I can help create this connection,… Continue reading Weem’s DM Tip #2: Help Create Unique “Outside-the-Box” Character Aspects
Mike (“Gabe”) is a creative guy, but…
Last year, Mike Krahulik (“Gabe”) began posting his D&D creations – things such as the “Free Fall Combat” and the “Light and Mirror Puzzle“. These were(are) really awesome ideas – I even borrowed a few of them myself. I’ve linked to them and talked about them like everyone else. Recently, I even asked my boss… Continue reading Mike (“Gabe”) is a creative guy, but…
Free/Cheap “Dungeon Tile” Ideas
Who says you have to have Dungeon Tiles, or Dwarven Forge awesomeness to layout some cool environments? I mean, it would be cool of course, but sometimes those things can be a little out of reach when it comes to costs. I have decided recently that I am giving up on the Dwarven Forge dream.… Continue reading Free/Cheap “Dungeon Tile” Ideas
Weem’s DM Tip #1: Character Foregrounds
These tips were pulled from a post I put together over on EN World called “RP Prompting and Immersion”. Here, I expand upon them further.

These two pages, like a time traveling device, take me back to my first game. Rolling the dice, and exploring this whole new… Continue reading Nostalgia Invoking Pages

In case you missed this (thought it’s all over the place now), the D&D Monster Guy…
Headed to PolyCon
As you probably already knew… actually no, you probably didn’t… so, as you didn’t know, I live on California’s central coast in a little place called San Luis Obispo. Well, actually an even smaller town just South of there near Pismo Beach. Anyway, PolyCon is held here every year and after having lived on the… Continue reading Headed to PolyCon
D&D Skeleton Water Room Mashup
This is an image I edited based on 3 images from 3 different D&D editions. This was something I originally did over at EN World (see the thread here) after someone was looking for one of the specific images. I thought it would be fun to merge a few of them from multiple editions to… Continue reading D&D Skeleton Water Room Mashup
Real Life Meets D&D #3
It’s always something… Eddie in accounting with his long, boring stories – Laura with the filing of her nails – or a war outside his window. For John, it’s hard to get anything done in the office sometimes.
Exploding Undead Minions Falling From The Sky
I love reading about other DM’s dynamic/exciting/unique encounters, so I thought I would post one I ran for my players during my last game. I was talking about it on another forum, so I thought I would share it here as well. Essentially, the PC’s were winding up a steep cliff-side path to a tower… Continue reading Exploding Undead Minions Falling From The Sky
