A little over eight months ago, I wrote an article about Wizards upcoming releases and how they applied to the release of 4E D&D. Well, we’ve just had the releases for the first four months of 2006 revealed. How do they change things? Well, not much. As I mentioned in my last essay, most of these books are dependent on you having books other than … Continue reading 4E is still coming!
Last weekend was fun. I met with several friends and played a lot of games. Paradise! The weekend began on Friday afternoon withthe Living Greyhawk adventure War of the Dust. The adventure involved wilderness adventuring, dungeon-crawling, some role-playing, and a bunch of combat. My players love the combat part. What really distinguished this adventure from the others were the way that the terrain played a … Continue reading A weekend of gaming

(Sulaco’s … Continue reading What does “basing” mean?
Heh. Of course 4E is coming… and, I’m thankful for it. (How much worse would it be if D&D stopped being produced?) However, the recent “New Releases” list from Wizards has made it fairly clear to me that 4E is some way off. There are a great number of interesting products there – and the start of a few more series of products. What are … Continue reading D&D 4E is coming!
With the recent flood of new classes from Wizards, the problems with the 3e multi-classing system have become readily apparent. Of course, these may not be considered as problems by all. However, the problems that the Eldritch Knight and Mystic Theurge were designed to fix have become what might be a troubling part of the 3.5e system. What are these issues, and are they indeed … Continue reading The mechanical problems with Multiclassing in D&D 3E
