    Crayola Dry Erase Crayons

    I spotted these at the drug store a few weeks back and picked them up mainly for my kids, who always seem to leave the caps off the markers, so that when I go to use them they are dried out and useless. I decided to give them a try on my gaming surfaces (Flip Mats) to see how they worked out...

    Our meetup transformation

    I just wanted to pop in and talk for a moment about transformations. Twelve months ago, our meetup was a very different animal, while still wildly popular in our area, it was almost entirely driven by Living Forgotten Realms, almost to the exclusion of other games. After some complaints came...

    Did Wrath of Ashardalon get pulled?

    It's gone from Amazon.com's site now. I have it on preorder, but I don't see it listed any longer. Did I miss some news or is it just Amazon seeing that they might lose a ton of money selling it at $40 a copy?

    Tacos

    I wanted to comment in the now closed thread when the topic of Tacos came up, so I decided to start a new one (only this one really is about Tacos) I think they might actually be THE perfect gaming food, and here are my reasons why: 1. They aren't greasy like potato chips or pizza slices 2...

    Black Diamond Games Blog - An Experiment

    I hesitated to post this (for fear of edition warring) but I thought it rather interesting. This popped up on Facebook for me a little while ago and I thought I would share it. If they had this deal at my FLGS and I didn't own Pathfinder I would take the deal in light of the Rules Compendium...

    My 4 year old son's first adventure

    Yep, you read that right, my 4 year old boy. He's been pestering me for about a year to play Dungeons & Dragons with me, so with the Red Box, I saw an opportunity to teach him a little about the game. So we started through the solo adventure, I would convert some of the larger words into...

    Red Box Tokens - Better than I expected

    I was pretty skeptical of the tokens that came in the red box. They looked flimsy from the pictures, and heck even picking up the full sheet and feeling it flop in my hand a bit didn't comfort me. -BUT- I popped the pogs out so that I could show my son how to play tonight, and noticed that...

    D&D Encounters Season 3 - Keep on the Borderlands

    I picked up my D&D Encounters Season 3 kit last night (and a copy of the Heroes of the Fallen Lands book). After some skimming through here are my initial thoughts: 1. This adventure gives you some NPCs with motivations to inject into the adventure. 2. This adventure is broken into 5...

    Red Box Gameday adventure Sept 11

    I am reading the adventure, and coupled with the pregens it has a very classic feel to it. The poster map is black and white and looks like it's almost hand drawn. The pregens are printed on orange half sheets. Mechanically, this is looking way easier to teach than classic 4e. Adventure plot...

    DM Rewards

    I got a mailing this weekend of DM Rewards. It's a "rare, custom-made extra monster card for the new Castle Ravenloft game, the Grey Hag". So, um, I don't have the game yet (might get it but on the fence), but this seems an odd DM Reward. Also, they announce the following: To me, it looks...

    Do you ever cut and run?

    I was reading the excellent running commentary on PCats 4E game and spotted something he said about "I know we will win in 40 minutes". It got me thinking, how often does the party flee a battle that is obviously unwinnable? Have you ever "cut and run" from a battle in D&D, or do you...

    Winning Races: Gnomes

    First, there is NO way a Gnome can be a winner, period. Second, I thought they were "monsters", yet the description before you read the article makes one stop to think that perhaps there are just a few bad apples out there: What happened to "I'm a monster, RAWR!"? All kidding aside, I would...

    Gamers Seeking Gamers - Can't set location

    No map appears (tried with 3 different browsers on two different networks) and I can't just type in an address and click go... nothing happens when I try to set an event location.

    D&D Encounters Season 3 - Keep on the Borderlands

    Sigh, I was going to take a break from DMing encounters next season when they drop this on me: Can not resist... must DM this!

    Pregens for many levels?

    Has anyone sat down to do some decent pregens for every level? Just to save me some time I was hoping to find some in CB format. The "quick build" are often unsatisfying in terms of performance, so it would be good to see some optimized solutions pre-done.

    No GenCon Austrailia 2010

    I don't know if this is the right section, or if it's been reported. GenCon Oz - Brisbane not going to happen :( I wonder if they will reconsider coming back to Los Angeles... I really miss GenCon being out here. Gen Con™ Australia - Homepage
