With Transformers already out and Voltron being fast-tracked, is that the end of movie remakes of 80’s tv shows about giant robots? No, of course not: not while Robotech lies untapped. In a few years, we’ll see a Hollywood version of the classic anime turned American tv show turned book series turned RPG (or whatever […]
Look out Drizzt…
I predict there being a new expensive rare hitting the Dungeons & Dragons miniatures market. In the latest “Previews” column on Wizard’s site, they showcase the number one most requested mini for D&D: a Gelatinous Cube. Further clarification by one of the D&D designers, Scott Rouse, says: “I don’t think the picture does it justice. […]
Why yes Dr, I do own a copy of the DMG!
While browsing through the DMing Blogosphere I came upon an older post by Dr.Rotwang that talked about the place that the 1st edition A D & D Dungeon Master Guide occupies in a DM’s library. Instead of posting a comment on an article dated November 2006 I decided to ponder about it here. A copy […]
The start of a new thing
Shamus of DM of the Ring fame has completed his first Opus. Before even letting the dust settle he presents us with his new comic over at the Fear the Boot site. Like a lot of his readers I stumbled upon DM of the Ring quite by accident somewhere around the story arc of the […]
Game Prep: The Mental State
Preparing an adventure represents about 80% of my game prep process. This includes stating the Bad Guys, setting the difficulty of the various Non-Combat challenges and creating loot that the players will appreciate. Aside: One of my last D&D 3.5 purchases was the Magic Item Compedium. This book is phenomenal and a preview of what […]
Adventure Prep, Session 2
I’m still shocked that people other than my close friends actually read this and even more shocked to have been mentioned by other DM bloggers. (I’m not going to Ego it up by linking to their post, but these guys have gotten added to my DM Blogroll). Oh and this is not a Meta-Blogging post […]
Touching is Good
Today Apple let loose a barrage of news, possibly most exciting of which for the masses is the new i-Pod Touchwhich is essentially an i-Phone – phone + more music. Not content to leave the day at that, the company also unveiled a new i-Pod Nano now as a squat device with a small screen […]
Two Great Tastes Together
Ogrecave points us to The Supercrew, a role-playing game about playing yourself but with superpowers. While there are many superhero RPGs, this is the first that we know of to be done entirely as a comic strip. The preview’s narrative style even has something of an Understanding Comics vibe to it, though the art is […]
I CAN HAZ CRIT?
It was bound to happen: a thread has started on ENWorld with D&D-style LOLcats. (And for those of you unfamiliar with LOLcats, you can go to the source. For those of you unfamiliar with D&D, I can help with that too.)
Exploring Evil in RPGs
As promised, Vanir over at StupidRanger posted is 1st part of a series on defining Evil in NPC. His definitions of evil and the motivations that may lead a non-evil being to cross the line are spot on. A lot can be said on Evil and we actually have quite a few gaming books written […]
