Dungeons and Dragons Sunday Link Smashup for May 17, 2008

by Bob

Hi, everyone!
I’ve had a heck of a busy week, but I’ve still managed to find you all a few useful links.  No commentary on them other than to say that there are a wide variety of 4E opinions in these links – on purpose.
Next Sunday’s Smashup should be good, as we’ll start to see more [...]

by Bob

Hi everyone!
Just a couple quick unrelated notes today.
First:  you want to make sure you check out this week’s writing contests at Helium.  There is a contest specifically on Role-Playing Games.  I wrote most of the topics and can’t enter, so I’d love to see one of my readers get 75 big ones this week.  There are other cash [...]

How To Kill Your D&D Game Without Really Trying

by Bob

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how I’ve ended some campaigns in the past.  My good friend Greg reminded me, right here in the blog, about the now-infamous Winter Court fiasco, for example.  It occurred to me that maybe there is a lesson or two I could share with you all.  Maybe if you [...]

While we’re on the subject of magic, I thought it’d be worth it to revisit a topic I covered on the articles side of the blog a while back, but haven’t done here:

Game Masters Day – Better Late Than Never!

by Bob

I had intended to observe GMs day in much grander fashion than last year, but with Gary leaving us it didn’t seem right.
In retrospect, maybe he’d have wanted it that way.  At any rate, my loving wife made a cake on GMs day.  Here it is:

Minis feature – Reaper.

by Bob

This is another Reaper Mini that I painted around five years ago.  Reaper makes the best minis on the market.  D&D Minis are fine, but you just don’t get the detail with plastic that you get with pewter.  Other brands have come close, but none have had the consistent quality, in terms of detailed molds, [...]

Friday Fantasy Fun – D&D Links to Finish the Work Week: February 22, 2008

by Bob

First, a video, discovered first by Kimmie:

I know I’ve featured it here before, but I have to read Dark Dungeons at least once a year.  Yes, I know, linking just encourages them.  I can’t help it.
Yax linked this one on Monday, but I’ll echo his sentiment here.  Critical Hits has an excellent discussion of the [...]

Of Markets, RPGs, and Third Parties

by Bob

The Chatty DM has a guest column this morning over at dungeonmastering.com on the concept of the OGL and its effect on Dungeons and Dragons, both in terms of the effect it had on 3E as well as the possible effect on 4E.
