Wizards of the Coast Orcus Miniature Images
I took some better pictures of the Orcus miniature after the Wizards of the Coast D&D/MTG seminar at GTS 2010. The images on the seminar liveblog came off my Iphone and are not as good as what my camera can produce. I should mention that the packaging was a mock-up for GTS only and the [...]
Review: The Adventures of Frank Frazetta’s Death Dealer: Shadows of Mirahan from Goodman Games (4E D&D)
The Adventures of Frank Frazetta’s Death Dealer: Shadows of Mirahan arrived today and I decided to give it a review. Whether they know it or not, almost every geek is familiar with the artistry of Frank Frazetta. In addition to his fantasy and science fiction paintings, his work has graced the covers of novels, comic [...]
Scott Rouse, Former Wizards of the Coast D&D Brand Manager has a New Blog
Scott Rouse, the one-time brand manager for Dungeons and Dragons at Wizards of the Coast has a new blog up at www.scottmrouse.com. Rumor has it that Scott was the force behind a push for more “open” content from WOTC and I wonder what Scott will get up to now that he is free of the [...]
Review: Azagar’s Book of Rituals from Goodman Games

The 4th Edition Dungeons and Dragons Dead Pool–Join Now!

Betting on death is in poor taste, but betting on when 4th Editions Dungeons and Dragons goes away is just good fun. I believe that Wizards of the Coast’s current business model is to flog the [...]
D&D Worldwide Game Day 2009 Preview – Dungeon Master’s Guide 2
I am once again stepping up to be a DM at my friendly local game shop (FLGS) for the D&D Worldwide Game Day: DMG2. As such, I received the materials for the game in order to prepare. As I have in the past, I would like to give some fact, some opinion, and most importantly, [...]
Open Letter to Wizards of the Coast
Dear Sirs, As a long-time gamer, I am deeply concerned with the direction your are taking with the “Dungeons and Dragons” franchise. “D&D” is the first role-playing game I played. As such, I feel somewhat invested in the franchise, both for emotional and practical reasons. Emotional reasons based in franchise-nostalgia and practical because “Wizards of [...]
A Nagging Feeling that 4th Edition Is Not Scaling Well At Higher Levels
I have been playing 4th edition for over a year and lately I have this nagging feeling that the power differential between NPC monsters and PCs is out of balance. Difficult, even lethal combat encounters are part of any role-playing game, but 4th edition Dungeons and Dragon’s NPCs seem to grow statistically more dangerous (that [...]
