    Mummy:the Curse

    Just so that folks here are aware - this kickstarter is wrapping up, with less than a day to go. Since its initial goal, there have been a great selection of stretch goals added on (and more to come, theoretically, if things keep going), including a bunch of upgrades to the physical book (silk...

    Do you make YouTube videos? Share them here!

    Yeah, sorry, I totally misread that. Syndication strikes me as somewhat more complicated to manage through the channel itself, unless you're just looking to maintain a playlist or something, but that could be cool too. As a side note, here are some other UK YouTubers with some good content, in...

    Do you make YouTube videos? Share them here!

    Oh, I wasn't meaning on your YouTube channel. When I mentioned the EN World TV tab, I was referring to the page that used to be present on enworld.org that collected the content you had posted to RussellMorrissey1974. If you were to revive that and embed content from other YouTube creators along...

    Do you make YouTube videos? Share them here!

    I'm on YouTube now. I'm pretty new to it, so I'm still getting the hang of things, but I've had surprising and encouraging responses to my fledgeling efforts. (I'll be putting up a channel introduction video in the next few days, with more content to follow.) In any case, my channel is here...

    d20 all sides are 20s

    If you're unable to find a pre-made all-20s d20, there are companies that sell blank (unnumbered) ones. Chessex would probably be a safe bet. You could then hand number it with an ultra-fine tipped permanent marker.

    Cover Art for D&D v3.5 Reprint

    According to the descriptive text on Amazon, yes. "This reprint of the v.3.5 core rulebooks keeps this popular version of the D&D game in print and available to 3rd Edition players seeking to replace their old books as well as new players seeking a 3rd Edition game experience. This book...

    Cover Art for D&D v3.5 Reprint

    I agree. As it stands these are just sitting in a really awkward middle-ground between the original look and something completely different. Ideally, I'd wish the center circles to be physically recaptured/recreated entirely rather than digitally cloned on to the new leather texture. That would...

    Cover Art for D&D v3.5 Reprint

    As much as I like 3.5 and have plenty of supplements for it, these would have to contain some strikingly significant errata between their covers for me to want to pay for any of them. The cover art is not, in my opinion, an improvement. As busy as the Higgenbotham covers were originally, at...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Edition Reprints

    The one book I would absolutely clamour for a reworked reprint of would be Tome of Magic. That was a beautiful, beautiful book, but the Truenamer was mechanically flawed to the point of unusability, and the Shadowcaster (though exceedingly flavourful) is commonly viewed as somewhat underpowered...

    Dragon's Hoard (Indiegogo)

    A fellow by the name of Sean Connors (Also a staple of the YouTube RPG community) has just kicked off a pretty ambitious looking IndieGoGo campaign. He's looking to create a community hub of sorts called Dragon's Hoard. The goal, from what I understand, involves creating not only a...

    DMs: How Do You Clue Players In That...

    My players are getting remarkably good at knowing when to turn tail, shake mail, and flee. I don't think they would have become as sharp about it if they hadn't encountered a situation in which half the party charged ahead while being shredded by brass angels with lightning-spewing gear-shaped...

    latest gaming purchase ?

    I found a copy of 1987's Dungeonquest at a garage sale this morning. It turned out that it also had the Catacombs expansion in the box. Could make for some high-lethality fun.

    Vancian Casting and Rituals - A Solution

    Well they weren't necessary all on one big list, as there were varying key skills, as well as categories (exploration, deception, etc.). The skills just happened to be an almost negligible barrier to entry, and the differing categories weren't used for much at all. What might be better is if...

    Uniting All Players: Dragon and Dungeon magazines online viewing?

    If I can't at least own a digital copy of something, I'm not going to pay for it. This is why I stopped subscribing when the Character Builder and Monster Builder went online only. (The fact that they no longer compile issues is also gross.) I have a hard enough time wanting to purchase...

    Ability Scores - Should they increase?

    The game I've been designing doesn't have ability score increases per-say, but then, the game I'm brewing also isn't D&D. I think I want something different out of D&D. The power climb seems like a strong component of its personality at this point. (Being level-based to begin with sets that...
