Preview: “Draconomicon: Metallic Dragons”
In previous editions, metallic dragons were good aligned, meaning that a DM would have to either create reasons that that the dragons were violently opposed to the PCs, or just ignore the “Always Lawful Good” and similar alignments. This default assumption has changed a bit, tossing many of the metallic dragons squarely into the Unaligned category.

4th Power Project: Skills
I’ve got some core classes (which are pending some revisions), some at-will powers, and some other powers. Next step is relatively simple (but not without some thought): skills. While skills are not trivial in 4e, they play a much greater role in modern games, and have a greater variety. This is not just because of […]
Preview & Review: “Primal Power”
Late last week, with a copy of Primal Power in hand, I decided to give people a chance to preview the book by asking questions that I would answer on Twitter as well as at our page on Facebook. Below I’ll share most of the questions and answers from those, but first I’d like to offer a quick review of the book.
