In our game last night an elite monster used an action point in one encounter and then ran away. We had a 5 minute rest before going after it. In the second encounter the DM wanted to spend its action point, some of the other players objected, saying it had already spent it and hadn't had a...

Wizards have updated their 2009 Product Release list with the August 09 releases: Adventurer's Vault 2 and Revenge of the Giants. I'm surprised DMG2 hasn't been listed yet.

Design and Development: The Evolution of Magic Items is up, and is the last article from Dragon 367. (They really seemed to rush at the end of the month here...) The 2005 rules certainly had a smaller "christmas tree" than we ended up with.

The Shadow Rift of Umbraforge. Reading this is much more interesting than working... Podcast 25, David Noonan and Chris Youngs talking about Dungeon and Dragon

Rob Heinsoo has this short post up on his staff blog:

The few articles for August Dungeon and Dragon mags are being posted, and with them is Characters of War, a selection of character backgrounds for the Scales of War series. I think these are similar to the regional backgrounds that Forgotten Realms has. I'm not so sure that they're as weak as...

New Adventures Vault previews. I like the Standards a lot, since they're not just powerful but the players will have to protect them once they're used. Solitaire seems pretty powerful. Very powerful when combined with expanded critical ranges or area powers. Pretty much a free action point...

I'm about to start DMing Rescue at Rivenroar this Saturday, the first time I've run anything in about 5 years. If anyone here has already run R@R, have you any wisdom to impart?

Excerpt from Adventurers Vault at WotC: a stat block for an Airship These are a common fantasy trope and I'm happy to see some mechanical support for them early in the new edition.

The Wizard's 2009 product page has updated with the June 09 releases: Eberron Campaign Guide, E2 Kingdom of the Ghouls and DU4 Arcane Towers Dungeon Tiles.

Is here. I think the new breath feats will be popular. Edit: I took a bit too long to post...

Greg Bilsland has posted a bit about Manual of The Planes on the Gleemax forums.

Orcus from Necromancer Games has some early copies of the three core rulebooks. He has posted a short spoiler-free review on the Necromancer Games boards. His summary: "The books are startling"

Scott Rouse has a post up on his blog showing some photos of the Cubicle of Elemental Evil. One of them shows this terrifying sight: "Treasure of Talon Pass" by David Noonan (I think) Has this been mentioned anywhere before? I can't see it on Wizard's 2008 product list.

There's a Spotlight Interview up for Keep on the Shadowfell. It's not that long:

Wizards has a new cartoon up, featuring the mindflayer. [Not as good as the first two IMO.]

A comment from Robin laws on his livejournal about a panel at the Portland Gamestorm convention: Was anybody here at the Gamestorm panel? If so, did anything new about 4e come out?

There's an article up on DDI all about the 4e Fomorian kingdoms. No crunch I can see, but lots of nice colour IMO.

Dave Noonan has posted on the fate of his 4e Eberron game: I think he underestimates what could happen in 3.5 if a party accidentally combines two encounters though.

Stephen Radley-Macfarland on keeping track of conditions in 4e :
