Critical Bits for the week ending 2009-08-08

August 8, 2009 by Gato the News Robot

  • Excellent post by SlyFlourish on Battle Maps
  • Top 10 Comic Book Cities from Architects Journal
  • Chris Youngs, EIC of Dragon, addresses edition war topics (including roleplaying in 4e)
  • DDI (sub required): Ampersand says it’s not going to use the Psion article format anymore for releases
  • August and Beyond article, including more illustrations by Head Injury Theater!
  • RPG Consulting Services (via @unclebear)
  • Samus Aran Speaks Out About Gay Marriage
  • I totally still own this Game Boy comic series
  • A lesson that Bartoneus has learned is learned by Gabe: 3D D&D terrain is awesome but players expect more often
  • DDI: Githerzerai article posted.  No Githyankai in PHB3 (they’re villains) and Seeker Class?
  • Poll: what JoCo songs would you buy and play if they were in Rock Band? (via @jonathancoulton)
  • Rock Band compatibility chart
  • Winners announced for D&D shoe contest, 2nd place is Head Injury Theater’s Goblin Stompers
  • WotC Fan site Toolkit includes various images for use on D&D fan sites (such as this one)
  • Some of the earliest D&D Internet Edition Wars
  • Post on Ogrecave about Elfball, a possible successor to Blood Bowl (but no relation to Battleball)
  • #GenCon iPhone app is out (app store link). Just from a cursory glance, I am blown away by the GenCon app. Complete listing, social features, maps, news. Just needs a “I’m lost” button.
