While everyone is busy with DnDNext, I've been working on a Star Wars hack of Green Ronin's Dragon Age. I think it's coming out pretty cool, I'm going back a little old school, hoping to capture some of the West End Games D6 flavor. I released a playtest document, hoping to get a little...

I'm trying to increase my limited photoshop skills a bit and was messing around the other day trying to create some lava textures. I decided to go ahead and attempt to make some volcanic dungeon tiles for my game, since I have none. I'm not a great designer, artist, or anything of the sort...

My daughter has developed a very strong interest in D&D, she sees my players come over the house, the minis, the maps, and she's really drawn to it. I started playing a basic minis and maps game with her, without dice, but she knew I was holding back. She likes rolling dice. So, without her...
