I've been using Masterplan as a monster builder for about two years now, in reaction to my expectation that the DDi tools would disappear rather quickly. Of course, the DDi tools are still there but I'm much happier having offline versions of everything so I'm not going back. But I digress...

If you have the password for the Adventurers League website you can download it now. It has some nice art and I rather like the map of the Northdark (aka Northern Underdark). It's 63 pages.

I've been thinking about running a Star Wars game set in the Dark Times between the third movie and A New Hope. This is prior to the formal creation of the Rebel Alliance and is also the time of The Force Unleashed multimedia product line. I have all the SAGA and d20 books but I'm not really...

There's no news of an official Forgotten Realms book for D&D (at least not yet), but Forgotten Realms creator Ed Greenwood is forging ahead with his own! Greenwood is writing Forgotten Realms: The Unofficial, Non-Canon, Unlicensed, Utterly Unapproved 50-Year History under the auspices of The Ed...

Some of you may recognise my user name from various links to my blog where I suggest ways of expanding Lost Mine of Phandelver into a larger sandbox. I actually began that series of posts (there are 16 or 17 now) because I wasn't a fan of 5E but I wanted to make a positive contribution rather...

This just popped up on my Facebook feed and is worth a look... including the adventure hook involving knocking down a wall and finding the entry to a megadungeon. (It's about an underground city in Turkey. I think this has come up before but it's the first time I can recall reading that the...

We've been straying off-topic in this thread so I thought I better fork it before the mods decide to do it anyway. A few comments have been made about marketing D&D to Asia and I thought I would throw out a few questions: 1. How would you do it? 2. Bearing in mind that Asia is not a...

A year ago, I essentially had no idea who Pelgrane Press was. And now it seems I am turning into a complete Pelgrane fanboy - even sitting through Morrus's interview with Simon Rogers which I would not do for any other publisher! (And there's no criticism of the interviews expressed or implied...

http://www.theguardian.com/culture/2013/nov/19/monty-python-stage-reunion-back-on-perch Just in case you need to refresh your cache of Python jokes before your next RPG session....

Has anyone else tried this? Because I have an aversion to preparing maps - I prepare encounters and sometimes have rough maps but otherwise ad lib my maps to suit the game - and an even greater aversion to preparing maps good enough for VTTs. My proposed solution is to actually have a webcam...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-22777029 I realise Little Wars is mentioned from time to time but the BBC did a fresh article on this yesterday.

I just saw this posted on Keith Baker's page: http://keith-baker.com/have-a-gloomy-holiday/ I'm a bit surprised. I thought it had its fans but evidently not enough.

(In the interest of full disclosure I am not - at this point in time - interested in 5E. However, I felt the same about 4E and now it's my favourite edition.) All the blogs by Mike Mearls et al have focussed on the mechanics of the game. Blah, blah, blah. However, we have not seen anything...
