While it’s fairly common knowledge that Wizards is publishing the Eberron setting for 4th Edition in spring of 2009, I believe there have been no announcements as to which settings may follow. At GenCon Dave and I attended a panel with most of the D&D developers and almost every single one of them listed Dark Sun as the next setting they’d like to see.
D&D 4e: New Encounters
I began putting together some new Encounter group templates that can be used to expedite your game planning and hopefully present your players with some new experiences and challenges. I’ve also listed some suggestions and brainstorming for how these groups could be implemented, and I would love to hear any you’ve come up with as well!
4th Edition Encounter Planner
Earlier this week I was talking to Asmor and idly mentioned to him how I was trying to make an Encounter Planner for 4th Edition that used the DMG encounter templates. I was hoping to have something where I input a level, choose a difficulty, and it outputs a list of the monsters that will […]
Captain America gets a Director
The Hollywood Reporter is saying that the First Avenger: Captain America movie now has a director, Joe Johnston. Johnston was the director of Jumanji and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, but probably most importantly one of my favorite movies The Rocketeer! I say this is the most important because this Captain America movie is supposedly […]
Inq. of the Week: Games You Play 2008
Our rather appropriate presidential poll has now closed, and it looks like we’re all doomed! I myself was almost swayed by the logical tagline, “Why settle for the lesser of two evils?” I held out, but most of you just couldn’t resist the Elder Sign ticket coming in with the small win at 31%. Not […]
How a Wiki can Excite Players
You can find all kinds of advice on how to use a wiki to help out your roleplaying campaign, but there is one aspect I discovered during the last game I played in which I don’t think I’ve seen mentioned by anyone. Sure wiki can be great for keeping track of loot, NPC’s, and plot […]
Review: The Witcher – Enhanced Edition
I’d heard about The Witcher over the last couple of years, but never really paid much attention to it until I got my hands on a review copy of the Enhanced Edition. What happened is that the polish company game company CD Projekt spent a lot of money developing the game, and when it was […]
Inq. of the Week: New Games?
I was actually pleasantly suprised when I saw the question Dave asked last week, to find out what our favorite undead creature is, and some of the results are a bit surprising. The Lich came out in first with 25% of the total votes, followed in a very distant second by the blood-sucking Vampire with […]
Inq. of the Week: D&D Insider?
Rumors are going around that this week D&D Insider will be switching over to paid only accounts, which means that we will no longer be getting a decent amount of free content in the online Dragon and Dungeon magazines. What this does mean is that hopefully Wizards is getting a few steps closer to launching […]
Interview: Jami Noguchi
At some point earlier this year Dave and I were talking and he casually mentioned how he’d just spent most of his day going through every back issue of a webcomic, and he started to tell me how great it was. That comic was Erfworld, which I already knew about through some twisting internet / […]
