[h=3]Warner Bros. to Make a New D&D Movie[/h]
Warner Bros has acquired rights to make a Dungeons & Dragons movie. The script, initially called Chainmail (the tabletop wargame upon which D&D was based in the 1970s) was written by David Leslie Johnson (Wrath of the Titans, Red Riding Hood) and is now being rejiggered to take advantage of the newly acquired license. The production team includes Courtney Solomon - who directed the unpopular 2000 D&D movie starring Jeremy Irons.

  • Imagining the World by Jon Schindehette -- Let’s take a step back from the details of D&D races and monsters (and more) in favor of seeing the larger picture: the scenic and awe-inspiring elements of the world of Faerûn. Jon starts us on our exploration of the world with a few images and several words.

  • Player responsibilities - What do you expect from your group? What responsibilities do you expect, or at least feel, players should take on? That's the question Gnome Stew is asking today.
  • Kobold Press presents the Tribal Chieftain template for Pathfinder.
  • Sarah Darkmagic takes a look at middle-ages life expectancy.
  • Four Things You've Never Heard of That Make Encounters Not Suck is the lengthy title of an article by The Angry DM.
  • The Journeyman GM tells us why every campaign should plan for an end. "In my opinion, no campaign should begin without an end in mind. This may sound somewhat strange to gamers who are accustomed to playing games that continue on and on. But I think that without a planned ending, the campaign itself becomes weaker."

Community News predates the show Community by nearly a decade! So you should be thinking that the show Community is about EN World's Community News! :D
 

That art is wondrous. I want more pieces like that in gaming books, and fewer "Here's a character/monster leaping through the air about to attack something."

The article by The Angry DM, found under Community News, is a really great read. He shares a number of important insights into encounter design and running, all while using a great deal of humor.

I'll also mention that yesterday was the last day for stores to order the June 15 gameday Vault of the Dracolich (information and links here). If your local store has not ordered it, they should contact their WPN rep as soon as possible to see if any copies remain.
