Last August, when Wizards of the Coast unveiled the new 4E version of the Dark Sun Campaign Setting at GenCon 2010, it was also foretold that IDW would be producing a Limited Issue comic series, set in the infamous world of Athas. And for those gamers fortunate enough to attend GenCon, a first...

Adventure modules are a staple product of the D&D market, regardless of what version you play. And while some publishers are developing campaign arcs, and others are working on individual modules, Goodman Games has been brewing up a whole bunch of short adventures pack into a single anthology...

One of the most important facets of any role-playing game system, regardless of genre, is the measure of how well it supports the game master – or in the case of D&D – the dungeon master. Some role-playing game systems I have tried over the years have done an incredible job at tantalizing the...

They might be using the Protection build for Khal - paladins are kinda leader-ish in their defender-ness. Lay on Hands is fairly potent, and there is something dramatic about a character sacrificing his own "life force" (healing surges) to help a dying comrade. But I definitely would have...

Interesting. Was that information in the Issue 0 comic book? Just wondering, because I don't think I ever saw the words Fell's Five anywhere in Issue 1.

Good point, Gilvan - this book does use the more descriptive fluff text about the monsters that we saw in Monster Manual 3, which was a big improvement over the first two 4E Monster Manuals. In some respects, this book is what the first two 4E Monster Manuals should have been, and there is a...

This month, Wizards of the Coast released a boxed product called the Monster Vault as part of its D&D Essentials line. The Monster Vault seems perfectly designed with new Dungeon Masters in mind, providing Essentials players with a wide selection of "classic" D&D monsters to populate adventures...

Posted a couple reviews of Issue #1 of the Dungeons & Dragons Comic Book by IDW Publishing. Tizzbin, the creator of the Passive Perceptions webcomic, posted a more artistically-focused review of the new comic book, while my own review on the Passive PerceptionsEN World site was more...

Review of IDW’s Dungeons & Dragons Comic (Issue #1) “On the bright side, they’re orphan zombies… so nobody’s gonna miss ‘em.” It’s hard not to be a little exhilarated by a comic book which opens with such a grimly-humorous line on the first page, but that’s just a taste of Issue #1 of the...

Dungeon Masters have quite a few options these days for ways to entertain their gaming groups, from adventure modules to campaign arcs to adventure settings. Brother Ptolemy & the Hidden Kingdom by Nevermet Press falls into this latter category, by offering not merely a single module or a...

That's actually a good point, about the backs being the same. I didn't notice how annoying it was until my second session of GW, when I was forever picking up the decks and looking at the bottom card to see whether I was handing out Omega Tech or an Alpha Mutations. A simple color pallette...

I just completed a review of the new Kobold Quarterly #15 Holiday Special. Although my review was from a D&D 4E perspective, there is plenty of good stuff in this last issue of KQ for 2010. To read the complete review, please click below: Review of Kobold Quarterly #15 (Fall 2010)

Name any other game where you can have characters like a radioactive catman, a giant fur-covered yeti-hawk, or the genetically-enhanced human clone of John Stamos? Chances are that unless you are playing the new D&D Gamma World Game, you probably will never have to face such a bizarre gamut of...
