I’m the type of person who needs to understand a process before tackling it head on. That’s why this post is more about context and theory than actually writing Kobold Love’s first part. Bear with me, it will be worth it. First Impressions are capital When a DM opens up a D&D adventure booklet, the […]
Drunken D&D: Funny Quotes
I’m too exhausted to write a real post. But I have something funny to share it with you. At Gen Con, I played 2 sessions of Drunken D&D (designed by Dave the Game, DMed by yours truly) with my fellow bloggers friends. I wrote a 5 scene adventure for it and Graham created the PCs. […]
4th Edition: Playtest a Barbarian
Second Edit: See here for the Barbarian release, no fooling! Edit: It appears Wizards has removed this snippet from the Table of Contents, sorry everyone! The table of contents for Dragon #367 is up, and it looks like we’ll be getting an early look at the Barbarian class from the PHB 2 that won’t be […]
DM Chronicles: Session 1, That’s how you start a Campaign! Part 2
See part 1 here. The Banquet We started with all PCs participating in a seemingly endless Banquet hosted by the local Merchant Baron, Brandobaris the Fat. Late into the scene’s night, after some interesting Roleplaying, Brandobaris opened a casket of Drow Wine, reputed to turn into a deadly poison 5 minutes after being exposed to […]
Epic Laundry Basket: Arrogance vs Cockiness
One of the things that I associate with success is giving the appearance of fearlessness, of being Gung Ho about one’s abilities. It does not have to resonate true inside but it sure needs to be outside if you want to be taken seriously. When fame does arrive, people start having reasons to hate you. […]
A Closer Look at 4th Edition Multi-Classing
I’ve heard over and over again, from various people, that they feel multi-classing in 4th Edition just isn’t worth it. I even got to the point of asking several of the Wizards staffers if their current games (each staffer seems to be playing in several games of 4e) had any higher level multi-classed characters that […]

Kobold Love: Interlude 2, Reflections and the Half-Kobold Template revealed
The Cliff is higher than I thought. Over the weekend the immensity of what I have tackled with Kobold Love crashed on me. As comments, mostly positive, and some (well deserved) reservations started pouring in, what initially felt to me like a public adventure prep exercise took a new dimension. This is the real deal […]
Review: “Treasure of Talon Pass”
Synopsis: “Treasure of Talon Pass” is a an adventure for 4e D&D designed to take 2nd level characters to 3rd level. It is a fairly typical dungeon crawl that works well enough but also does not take advantage of environments and non-combat elements enough to make it more interesting than a string of combats. Production: […]
DM Chronicles: Session 1, That’s how you start a Campaign! Part 1
DM Chronicles, along my Adventure Prep posts are my longest running series on the Blog. The Chronicles are a DM’s report of my D&D game that I run twice a month from September to June every year. This year marks our 9th straight year playing with the same core group and my 1st D&D 4e […]
