Late last July, just as the anticipation of the impending GenCon 2010 was reaching its peak, Wizards of the Coast released an adventure site called Vor Rukoth. But with the release of the Tomb of Horrors and the Dark Sun Campaign Setting grabbing all the excerpt archive headlines, Vor Rukoth...

Am doing some research about how the 4E Gaming community is responding to GSL products in the market, in preparation for an editorial and exposé. I am looking for opinions and comments from 4E gamers, so if you would like to cast your votes on the GSL polls, please head over to the link below...

I would agree that using only Level/Level+1 monsters can be a bit dull. I myself design encounters with up to Level +3 monsters in the mix. However, I tend to make the higher level monsters skirmishers and artillery types, which are roles with lower hit point values. When reviewing an...

I'm with Mengu, but for different reasons. I think the class has potential, and might even be fun to play, but it should not be called a Hexblade for A LOT of reasons. In fact, there was too much to sum up here, so I ended up blogging about it - The Hexblade Rebooted. I really would have...

I appreciate your clarification regarding the bar fight and skill challenge, however, it should be noted that there is no skill challenge that fails after a single bad skill check. All skill challenges are now designed upon 3 failures, and there is no skill challenge complexity calling for 3...

In an apparent homage to the famed AD&D adventure, U1 The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh, Blackbyrne Publishing’s second adventure in The Dark Veil Campaign Arc is set in a sea coast town with a dark secret. While the adventure features many similar elements of the original U1 module, such as a...

Here's something new for Halloween D&D Adventures. Check out this new monster theme, usable with undead creatures to give them a little Steampunk-esque influence. Night of the "Tocking" Dead

Posted a review of the recent Dungeon Magazine feature, a Dark Sun adventure called Revenge of the Marauders. As the purported sequel to the less-than-well received official Dark Sun module, Marauders of the Dune Sea, I thought it was crucial to see if WotC would commit resources to provide...

The first of the D&D Essentials products for Players, the Heroes of the Fallen Lands, has made its debut not only on gaming store shelves, but this season’s D&D Encounters is already using characters designed from its pages. Following the release of the “Red Box”, the Heroes of Fallen Lands is...

The month of October and the anticipation of Halloween seems to make everyone start thinking about zombies, ghouls, ghosts, and all manner of things going bump in the night. Certainly, the same is true of D&D campaigns, and players often find their DMs turning to creepier themes during...

Well I don't think we can cast too many stones at a GSL product writer for being overly name creative, when WotC does plenty of odd names in their products: Driz'zt Do'Urden Graz'z't Fraz-Urb'luu Kostchtchie As a DM, I think the rule of thumb is this: pronounce them however it please you -...

Check out the newest issue of the D&D 4E-inspired webcomic, Passive Perceptions, hosted over at the Neuroglyph Games website! Passive Perceptions #2: "Eyepatch of Hasty Resolutions”

I have always been a fan of “dungeon” tile sets long before 4E made them a nearly indispensable part of the game. Having a ready-made full-color map to use during an encounter is a whole lot more exciting than a line drawing in erasable marker on a vinyl battlemat any day of the week! Over...
