This afternoon Dave and I got to play in the 4th Edition Dungeon Delve, which is a group of about 10 tables set up with various dungeons pre-set that the RPGA staff (and some occasional Wizards employees) were kind enough to run. It was meant to be just hack & slash, get through the monsters […]

D&D XP Seminar
This is just a dump of my notes from the Seminar, which I’ll be editing when I get a chance! 9:38- Laptop set up in the Potomac room. The room is maybe ¾ capacity, in a fairly inefficient banquet table format. 9:40- Danny returns with “What you need to know about D&D 4th edition […]
Mini-Fluff: More on-the-fly world building
Mini-posts are approx. 500 words posts on one of my pet subjects. I usually do them when I have a busy evening, like Adventure Preping or doing things like, you know, exercise! I’m deep in adventure prep, deeper than I have been for a long time. I don’t know if it’s the same for you […]
YouTube of the Week: Spokesmonster Edition
These cartoons put out by Wizards have been around for a few months now, but I only just found them on YouTube. They’re better than I would have thought, though not without some cheesiness.
Addendum to Adventure Prep and Open Captioned Bragging Contest
I can’t write an actual post tonight I have quite a large game to prep because my players decided they wanted to talk with a god and then have a stroll in Asgard/Ysgard… Were I playing 2e Planescape, I could just say “Tough luck, you don’t have the proper portal key”. However, since it’s one […]

Inq. of the Week: Ask the D&D Designers
86% of you are looking forward to seeing my man, The Batman, return to the big screen. 81% of you are looking forward to our favorite whip-wielding, snake-fearing Archaeologist returning for another adventure. Sorry Wachowski Brothers, only 14% of our readers are going to take a ride on the Mach 5, the lowest out of […]
Chatty’s Review: Silvervine, Detailed Mechanics
This post is part of a series that tackles the reading review of a yet unpublished RPG called Silvervine. Please note that this game is still in development, my review is part of the pre-playtest feedback. Last time I tackled Basic Mechanics, now it’s time for the 2nd (of 3) posts on the game’s Crunchy […]
Rogue’s Gallery
For those who missed it. Wizards if the Coast previewed the 4e Rogue’s abilities. Sticking to my low 4e hype mission, I invite you to drop by Dave and Bart’s Critical hits for the discussion. I’ll only add that what really sparks my interest is the Attacks vs Wis, Dex or Fort mechanics thatare a […]
