As an easy followup, and because I’ve been dealing with D&D races between my Book of Races review and Races feature, I’m asking: which of the PHB2 races are you most excited about?
D&D Character Builder is Live
You can now generate characters of all 30 levels using the newly updated Character Builder if you’re a D&DI subscriber. Otherwise, you can still download the level 1-3 trial version. I’m still figuring out the details of how many computers I can install it on from the announcement thread on the WotC forums. The interface […]
Mages Gone Wild
Let us take a short trip back in time, to an earlier era of D&D. It was the age of AD&D 2nd Edition, the edition that my group and I really cut our teeth on. The first character I brought to the table was an Elven Psionicist named Spock (The Complete Psionics Handbook being the […]
New Feature: Character Race Reference
Another week, another feature from us here at Critical Hits. This time, it’s a list of PC races and the attributes they are known for. This of course goes nicely with our feature on character classes when planning your next character. We only have one more idea for a feature for the time being… so […]
Review: “Book of Races”
Book of Races by Flex Dolphynn is the freshman outing by GameVein. It contains 14 races for 4e, licensed under the GSL, in a 70 page PDF available from DriveThruRPG.

Contest Results: “Roll into the New Year”
Here are the results of the Roll into the New Year contest, where we roll some dice to determine who wins the dice. Watch the video below to find out what we rolled, and who wins! (Also listen for joshx0rfz, who refused to appear on camera but tried to ruin the filming anyway).
Battlestar Galactica: The Beginning of the End Starts Tonight
Tonight at 10 EST, the last half of the last season of the remake of Battlestar Galactica premieres (or more simply, Season 4.5… since we all know that calling things “.5” is an awesome idea). For those of you not caught up, I recommend avoiding this post since it contains some SPOILERS, and will probably […]
New Feature: Character Class Reference
Just a quick announcement that I’ve put up another Feature: a reference guide for 4e classes. I didn’t have much luck finding fan-made classes, so do let me know if there are any I should add. Hopefully you find this useful when choosing your next character, or if you’re just curious about what all is out there.
YouTube Tuesday: Guinness Armor Edition
What happens when a beer-chugging rock band goes up against a group of LARPers? The results might surprise you. Warning: this video is metal. (via ENWorld)
Inq. of the Week: Oh Oh It’s Magic
While an interesting magic system is not enough to drive a fantasy setting, it does appear to be part of the main hook when getting readers. Likewise, in a fantasy RPG system, this provides an immediate appeal to playing the game if the magic is interesting enough.
