    'Community' to have a Dungeons & Dragons episode

    According to the NBC website, the episode is scheduled to air this coming Thursday. More importantly they broadcast a trailer this evening during SNL. The best part of the trailer? Chang dressed as a drow.

    D&D Minis... Who is bumbed about the end of production?

    I would describe myself as being bummed about the announcement. I've been a miniature collector since my youth, and a painter back when I didn't have kids. I wish I could be satisfied with the (rather large) collection that I currently have, but the fact is that I like variety and variations in...

    80% Rule: Are you a DM or player

    In the group I've been playing with for nearly 10 years, I've run two long running campaigns; a Midnight 3.5e campaign that ran for 2.5 years, a 4e campaign that we hope to wrap up in a few months that will have run for 3 years, and a very short lived campaign that only ran a little over a year...

    [4e] Combat Tracker Utility

    They certainly do; very nicely in fact. Although I found that if I straight up export a character I had prior to the update, it does not seem to load the powers into the saved file or into CM. If, however, I load the character, save it, and then export it, all of the powers come along with it...

    Game of Thrones 10-minute preview Dec 2010

    ...or will HBO catch up to GRRM before he finishes A Dance with Dragons? ;)

    Monster Builder (the non-online one) gets a patch!

    My experience as well, post-update.

    [4e] Combat Tracker Utility

    I love it so far! Very nice work, especially the embedded compendium viewer window on the bottom right. I still have to spend some more time with it, but it looks great.

    [4e] Combat Tracker Utility

    There's a little more on the way from me. I'm very grateful that someone has kept this program updated!

    DDI VT Beta thread

    As I've been evaluating a few VTT solutions lately (d20pro, Maptoools, FG2, etc.) it doesn't seem that any of them do this natively. I've found one suggestion of linking an mp3 or any sound file to a shared online site for everyone to play, but that seems a bit clunky. It would be nice if...

    New Character Builder from WotC!

    I already had one crash after finishing up building a thri-kreen monk and clicking on the update gold button. After closing out, and then restarting the app, it gave me the option to recover my character! Nice save.

    Open Letter To Local Game Stores

    Third Rail Game Stores Excellent thread. One other topic that I did not see mentioned (but could be certainly implied from some of the OP's advice) is the discussion of politics in your store. I've been to two stores where the employees and/or the manager was apt to regularly discuss politics...

    No Character Builder Update

    Don't kill the messenger, but I just received this email (don't recall receiving other WOTC notices, or "broadcasts" as they titled this one) about the DDI character builder: Wednesday, September 15, 2010 D&D Insider Subscriber, Unfortunately, we will not have a data update ready for the...

    [4e] Combat Tracker Utility

    I am getting the same type of error as vanexxo when loading some character files into the statblock library. I have not been able to find a common theme among the two out of the six .dnd4e files I have that are getting the following error when loading them into the statblock library: See the...

    Which D&D Campaign World did you enjoy most?

    Midnight by FFG. Hands down the best campaign setting I've ever played in or DM'd. Dark Sun would be the close second. Very excited to play in a Dark Sun campaign soon (4e)!

    Has one of the people in your campaign ever died in real life?

    One of my very best friends, who I had grown up with and had served in the Army together, started a 3rd edition D&D game in the summer of that edition's release. Sadly we only got to play for a year before he passed away. I was out of town that weekend, and was delivered the news the morning his...

    Dark Sun music?

    Prince of Persia I listened briefly (skipped through the tracks) to the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time soundtrack awhile back, and I remember thinking it would make a decent score for a Dark Sun game.

    Mini Lists for all D&D HPE Modules

    You could also check out abPrices. That site allows you to compare prices among some of the big DDM retailers (Auggies, Troll and Toad, eBay, etc.) It's a nice resource to find the cheapest price for a mini, but a little more work required (which is typical with saving money, no?).

    Yet another music thread, but this one's a little different...

    Radio Rivendell is a pretty good source.
