Combining the D&Ds

Posted by Mark on Jul 21, 2011 in 1e D&D, 3e D&D, 4e D&D, Mechanics

Number of Views :554I’ve been thinking for a while on how it would look to combine the editions of D&D together into a single, streamlined game that could appeal to both the OSR and New School. I currently own AD&D1e, 3.5e and 4e, so I’ll be basing my thoughts on this. There are different elements [...]

Gnomish Failure

Posted by Mark on Oct 31, 2010 in 3e D&D, Blog

Number of Views :1003A while back I wrote a post on my worst game ever. After I described a situation, I ended up with a ton of comments, most coming down to “you’re an idiot.” Mind you, it was  written about nine months ago, and I’ve been getting comments on it as recently as a [...]

Posted by Mark on Aug 4, 2010 in 3e D&D, 4e D&D, Fluff/Inspiration

Number of Views :530Continuing on from yesterday’s post of campaign concepts, I present the idea of running a campaign in a war-devastated world: There Is Only War. One hundred years of warfare takes its toll. The once great cities of the Empire have fallen into ruin. Survivors hide in the rubble, facing the armies of Tieflings, Orcs [...]

Posted by Mark on Aug 2, 2010 in 3e D&D, 4e D&D, Fluff/Inspiration

Number of Views :675I’ve been thinking about new campaign concepts recently, how to break the mold from the traditional fantasy game, and have come up with a series of different concepts I think could make for some pretty great roleplaying in your next D&D campaign.

The Deck of Many Things

Posted by Mark on Jun 30, 2010 in 3e D&D, 4e D&D

Number of Views :2049One horrifying artifact from older editions of D&D was the Deck of Many Things, an object of supreme power that could either shape or destroy campaigns on a whim. For those of you who are new to D&D via 4e, here’s basically what it is: Basically, a deck of cards which grant [...]

Number of Views :590It’s been more than a year since I’ve done one of these, so I decided to do an Off the Shelf Review. For those who don’t know what that means, it means I grab a random game book off my shelf and talk about it for a bit. Today’s review is for [...]

D&D For Kids

Posted by Mark on Apr 29, 2010 in 3e D&D, 4e D&D, Reviews & Culture

Number of Views :1887Big applause for Wizards, who have released, for free, a version of D&D for kids entitled Monster Slayers: The Heroes of Hesiod. Apparently, it’s based on a new book D&D is coming out with. What I really like is both the simple art, as well as the simple rules. The game is [...]
