Number of Views :565So, for the first time in many years, snow has fallen on the Tidewater area of Virginia. Normally too warm to even consider falling, it’s dumped this morning. Being raised in Washington state, I’m used to buckets of snow (the winter of 2008, we got 12 feet up there, and they shut [...]
Number of Views :1012A little while back, I reviewed the book Martial Flavor by Chaotic Shiny Productions. I noted that Chaotic Shiny would be coming out with a book on each individual culture eventually. I wasn’t let down. Hannah Lipsky has already released two of the culture books, Arytis and Sijara, with the rest on [...]
Number of Views :1003Yesterday afternoon, my Amazon.com order came in. I’m a few books behind in the WotC release of books, so I ordered the Player’s Handbook Races: Dragonborn supplement, as well as Underdark.

Number of Views :3631Every few months or so, I go onto DwarvenForge.com, look over all the terrain, and cry a little bit inside. Gabe from Penny Arcade sometimes shows photos of his games where he employs the Dwarven Forge stuff. It’s all so beautiful. And so, so expensive. For those of you who have no [...]
Number of Views :669Visiting the Grand Caverns in Virginia last week, as previously mentioned by Bridget, led to some pretty great ideas for gaming. One of them was when the tour guide turned off the lights in the cave to show us what true darkness was like. It was fascinating. You literally could not see anything. You [...]

Number of Views :950In a recent post on dungeonmastering.com, Yax talks about the idea of using aliens in your campaign. Instead of using aliens from outer space, however, you can use an altogether different, though still familiar form of alien: planar creatures. I absolutely love this idea. He mentions Githyanki arriving in airships, wholly alien [...]
Number of Views :957 This past weekend I spent locked away at the top of a mountain overlooking the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. Being isolated is something that doesn’t happen very often in our day and age. We have technologies that allow us to communicate almost wherever we are. We take it for granted. We [...]
