This morning I had the pleasure to get an email from a reader asking me a few questions to help him out in his D&D 4e DMing. As usual, I love doing that and it creates instant fresh content of interest for other readers in a similar situation. Win/win says I. Let’s dive into it […]

PHB2 Roundtable: Classes
When the 4e PHB launched, we held a roundtable discussion of the different classes in the book. Well, now that PHB2 is about to be released tomorrow, we wanted to take a look at those races in a similar format. To accomplish this, I contacted several of my fellow bloggers who had received early preview copies (and have had plenty of chance to pour over it) in order to see how they felt about the classes.
Inq. of the Week: Power Sources?
Hopefully Dave’s curiosity was answered when he wanted to know how many of you went to see Watchmen. 65% of you went to see it opening weekend, while 23% didn’t see it that weekend but plan on seeing it, leaving only 13% who don’t plan on seeing it at all. I saw the movie at […]
Chatty’s Megadungeon: The Primal Dungeon and The City Within
Following a surge of interest about classic fantasy Megadungeon campaigns on the blogsphere, I’ve mused about re-visiting the concept in D&D 4e. Then, a few days later, I laid the foundations of how I would go at making a 4e Megadungeon campaign. Today I thought I’d share with you some of the work that my […]
Adventure Prep: Hacking the Written Word
Some time ago, I used to blog about how I prepared my bi-monthly games and posted them before my actual game sessions. It was a writing challenge because I was trying to write something significant for my readers while limiting spoilers for my players (most of whom are readers of this here blog). I stopped […]

Avengers: Batman is a Divine Striker
The Player’s Handbook 2 has a number of old friends. Barbarians, Bards, Druids… we knew (at least roughly) what these guys would do. But Avengers? They were something of a mystery. Did they refer to the old D&D class that was similar to the Anti-Paladin? Do they wield +5 Protection from Evil swords? Do they ASSEMBLE?
Players Handbook 2 Preview: The Warden
Earlier in the month, I and a few other bloggers and podcasters were given copies of the upcoming Players Handbook 2 for the 4th Edition of Dungeons and Dragons. In exchange, we agreed to write about it and share with our readers. The Players Handbook 2 features 5 new races: Deva, Gnome, Goliath, Half-Orc and […]
Offline for some time
My son Nico will be undergoing ear surgery tomorrow. As things stand, I’ll likely be at the hospital for most, if not all of tomorrow (and the following night). I have a Players Handbook 2 preview planned for tomorrow but there’s good chances I won’t be there to respond to comments until late Friday night […]
Interview: Monte Cook about Dungeonaday.com
Monte Cook just announced his ambitious new project: Dungeonaday.com. Of course, as primarily a 4e DM and player, my first question was “would I be able to use it in my campaign?” So I went to the source, and asked Mr. Cook himself that very question, along with a few others.
