Well, it had to happen. The Main Event has begun to plan his first 4E game (and speak in third person!) So now, with a campaign fresh on the brain, I’ll continue my last villains article and talk about how to make your villain(s), regardless of type, formidable, awesome and dastardly. They Have a Plan: […]
Sneaky update to Stealth skill?
To my knowledge, the highly debated Stealth skill in 4e has not received official errata just yet. Thanks to the DnD Insider Compendium, however, we may have a sneak peek at WoTC’s attempt to “clarify” the use of the Stealth skill in 4e campaigns. You can read the changes for yourself by loading up the […]
Get Your Dice Off My Lawn!
Another Guest Blog Post by Berin Kinsman of UncleBear. You kids today think you have it so rough. The D&D Online Tools aren’t ready yet! I can’t play a Bard or a Druid in 4e! I don’t have a flying car to take me to my game session! Spoiled, whining brats, I tell ya! When […]
WotC finally convinces me to buy Forgotten Realms
I’ve never been much of a Realms fan. Well, I take it back, I’ve never really been a fan of PLAYING in the Forgotten Realms. When I was younger, I read every FR book that my two local libraries had, and still own quite a few paperbacks of Realms stories. I especially enjoyed the Avatar […]
So You Wanna Write a RPG Blog? What NOT To Do
Hi folks! My name is Berin Kinsman, and I’ll be guest blogging here while our beloved Chatty DM is off vacationing in the wilderness. I’ve been a roleplayer since 1978, which officially makes me an old grognard. I’ve been writing about gaming on my own site, UncleBear, since 1996, long before the word “blog” was […]
D&DI Updates: Charging Before Ready
WotC has posted some updates to how D&D Insider is developing. Some of it is encouraging, some of it… not so much. There’s a rundown of the different services that are included, which also drops this in there (that I hadn’t heard about before): A suite of small “bonus tools” that live on the web […]
RPGBloggers.com: Moving Forward
Day 3 of the RPGbloggers network and already things have been, shall we say, dynamic. Since I self-appointed myself the community voice of this little project, I thought I’d give you an update. This nerd project, an initial idea by the Critical-Hits guys and backed by a handful of eager bloggers, was met with such […]
Critical Hits Prepares for GenCon
Expect posting to be light for the next week or so as Bartoneus and myself prepare for the oncoming train game con that is GenCon. We’ve purposely left a lot of our schedule open so that we can cover the con and get into pick-up games that look interesting. We have scheduled just a few […]
YouTube of the Week: Get Your Higgs Boson Edition
By popular demand (from joshx0rfz), it’s the Large Hadron Collider Rap. You can sing this as it consumes the universe (or not.)
RPG Bloggers Down (And Back Up)
Just a quick note… we’re not sure if it’s due to the incredible response yesterday, a rogue post, or something else, but RPG Bloggers Network is currently down. We are doing our best to restore it ASAP. Well, not sure how or why, but it’s back up. Go forth and enjoy, and here’s hoping that […]
