It’s been quite a while (read: months) since I’ve been updating my D&D Miniatures News Site, but it’s time to make official what you’ve all known for some time: I’m no longer in the DDM news game. Indeed, I haven’t bought any new D&D Miniatures for over a year. No longer having a FLGS does that, along with having enough minis for most of my … Continue reading Farewell
The big news from Wizards today is exceptional: All D&D Miniatures will have new stats in the new version of the game. It may take some time (so don’t expect to all DDM figures to be converted from Day 1 of the new game), but Wizards have now committed to providing updated stats to all old miniatures. You can find out more in this announcement. Continue reading DDM 2.0: All minis to be upgraded

The second Desert of Desolation preview looks at the new Mount rules. Well, more that we have mounts rather than the actual rules… although the rules should be up shortly. Continue reading Desolation preview 2
This has turned up in a few Wizards’ blogs recently, such as Stephen Schubert’s: We’ve started searching for another Associate Designer to add to the RPG/Minis design team. We’re looking for an applicant with some amount of understanding and excitement for the D&D miniatures game, so that some of this person’s time can be spent working on that game, as well as mechanics design for … Continue reading Blogging a job
From Logan Bonner’s blog: I like the new rules for the minis game. The previous version had a lot of things that were unlike the RPG in an annoying way (morale, always attacking the nearest) and a faction system that left us with too many minis of creatures PCs wouldn’t fight (which is a problem for people who buy minis for RPG play, but also … Continue reading More blog info
This is a really big and great article from Mat Smith. Have a look and enjoy! Continue reading September D&D Previews
Skirmishes in the Shadowlands – alternative terrain rules for DDM Desert of Desolation – Preview 1 – Reliving the Long Drought The two images are the Capricious Copper Dragon (CG/CE) and the Fire Archon (CE) Continue reading Wizards site updates
A couple of new points from the Wizards blogs: Logan Bonner: I’m slotted for D&D Minis work for the next several weeks. This will be interesting. I wasn’t all that familiar with the old game, so working on the new one will probably be easier than trying to learn the old one. I think the list for set 17 looks pretty cool. I worked on … Continue reading Blogging
From Logan Bonner’s blog: We got our copies of the Legend of Drizzt Scenario Pack. Wulfgar’s a repaint of the Night Below mini. Drizzt is a new sculpt that was really obviously based on a Steve Prescott illustration. I like the sculpt pretty well, but the paint’s meh. Of course, the box also has Icingdeath, the diabetic’s nightmare—I mean Gargantuan white dragon. This is a … Continue reading Legend of Drizzt pack
