While doing some research today and poking around my other websites, I ran into some scans of maps I had hand drawn (as I do all of my encounter maps) for my very first 4e encounters. Anyway, as I recently did the revamped Caves of Chaos map, I currently have maps on the mind and… Continue reading My First 4e Encounter Maps
Typing Out Loud: Vancian 2.0
There has been a LOT of discussion today regarding Vancian magic vs “Non”. It makes sense of course seeing as how the L&L poll put up today was about this subject. As such, my head was spinning with ideas today. Some were terrible, and others I just wasn’t sure of. As such, I’m going to… Continue reading Typing Out Loud: Vancian 2.0
I Want to Move Mountains
I have not said much about what I want to see from the next iteration of D&D. I’m pretty content to wait and see a little more info for the most part (my opinion most of the time seems to match the masses anyway it seems), but I was struck with an idea tonight and… Continue reading I Want to Move Mountains
Gary Gygax Photomosaic
I was playing with some photomosaic software tonight (Andrea Mosaic in this case) and needed to experiment first. As such, I figured I would quickly grab D&D book covers and use a photo of Gary Gygax! I thought there might be some people interested in seeing the outcome, so here it is (scroll down to… Continue reading Gary Gygax Photomosaic
Caves of Chaos Reimagined by Weem
So, this was another project spurred by something said on Twitter. Two nights ago Jerry LeNeave (@DreadGazeebo) asked the following via Twitter… Anyone know where I can find a nice high-res copy / fan-recreated map of the Caves of Chaos (aka B2 KotB). The 20+ year old scan is meh #dnd Well, I had been… Continue reading Caves of Chaos Reimagined by Weem
What Is This D&D Thing?
Prior to mid-2011, when it came to my online activities, they were primarily Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) related. A majority of those who are watching me (I hate saying “following”) on Twitter came from this period of time before Epic Inventor (a video game I designed and do art for) existed. With that said, many… Continue reading What Is This D&D Thing?
Kingdoms of Amalur – Intro and Character Creation
I recorded this video tonight showcasing the beginning of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. It includes a preview of the intro story video and character creation.
D&D Generations
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
Monopoly Guy Driving Amy Okuda
So, another challenge was issued today, this one from Wil Wheaton… Dear Internet: we need a photoshop of the Monopoly Guy driving @amyokuda around in this car: pic.twitter.com/d8Xo5N51 So, here it is (click it for the full-sized version)… I had just arrived home from visiting family and had a text from @SmittyHalibut about the challenge.… Continue reading Monopoly Guy Driving Amy Okuda
Some of my books
I recently cleaned up the man-cave I call an office, and thought I would post a picture of some (yes, I have more) of my books. Click the image for the extreme close-up view!
