Preview: Dungeons & Dragons Virtual Table
What they’ve come up with is a pretty solid product with some extra specific to D&D touches that I haven’t seen so smoothly integrated elsewhere, which gives me hope for this product. There’s still a few key features I would love to see (which I’ll get into) but it’s a great start, and totally useable right out of the gate.

Introducing: Roll, the Critical Hits Tumblog
Sometimes we want to toss out a quick idea. Sometimes we want to post pictures from our home games. Sometimes, we don’t have enough to say about a product to warrant a full, multi-paragraph review. Sometimes, we have something to say that’s more than 140 charactersbut fewer than 3 paragraphs. Sometimes, we want to write lazy posts. That’s where the Roll! blog comes in. And it’s also where YOU come in.

Support the Bagram Air Force Base Gaming Community
Jason over at The Action Point blog has been deployed over in Afghanistan at the Bagram Air Force Base. He’s setting up gaming for the troops, but he’s run into a problem: they don’t have enough stuff. While they’re getting official support in the form of Encounters, they can still use the essentials: dice, books, minis, maps, etc.
Character Builder: The Next Generation
Wizards of the Coast announced today that the new version of Character Builder will be released on 11/16. As has been previously rumored, the new version is web-based, and will support Essentials and Dark Sun characters, which the previous version was not updated to do. The old, downloadable version will still work, but will not receive any further updates. Monster Builder (and other web-based tools) are to follow later. The FAQ on the character builder goes over some of the issues as well, and below is some of my take on the whole thing.
