My other copy of Keep on the Shadowfell has been dispatched to me, according to MilSims, so I should get it either on Monday or Tuesday. My original copy will probably be sent to me (well, Randy) with the core rulebooks, unless they’ve sent it separately and Randy’s going to surprise me with it tomorrow. In any case, the copy I get second will go … Continue reading Games on their way…
Just read on Outpost Gallifrey that Doctor Who will return to our screens on Sunday 29th of June with Voyage of the Damned (the Kylie Christmas special). Yay! Continue reading Doctor Who season 4 in Australia
It may seem a little odd that I’m writing this now, but I’ve actually only just received the last issues of both Dragon magazine and Dungeon magazine. My subscription to the magazines ran out two issues before the end, and, although I was able to pick up the penultimate issues from my local newsagent, I couldn’t find the ultimate issues. However, I’ve just entered the late … Continue reading Farewell to Dragon magazine
I just received this from MilSims: D&D 4th Ed Has Arrived in Australia. Will release on schedule on 6th June. We are pleased to announce that today we received confirmation from Wizards of the Coast Australia, that H1 Keep on the the Shadowfell, and Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition Players Handbook, Dungeon Master’s Guide, Monster Manual, and Slipcase, are being delivered to their Sydney warehouse … Continue reading 4e arrives in Australia (according to MilSims)
Wizards of the Coast has had a chequered history when it comes to electronic products and support for its games. Some things have worked very well, such as the Magic: the Gathering site. Other things have been buggy and problematic throughout, but have generally been positively received, such as Magic Online. Then they have vapourware that turned out to not be exactly vapourware but the … Continue reading The failure of Gleemax
Newly posted by Wizards: the Tiefling Warlord! Brief rundown: Melee character (Str 16) with longsword “Face” of the party: (Cha 13) Diplomacy +6, Intimidate +6, Bluff +3 Abilities to aid other PCs – they get +2 to attack & +4 damage when they spend an action point; +2 initiative; and allows other PCs to shift around more easily. I suggest Josh remains playing the Dwarf … Continue reading Meet the 4e Tiefling Warlord
G’day, all! This Friday will see what will probably be the last session in our Savage Tide campaign. The following fortnight, if we’re very lucky, we’ll have the first session in a new campaign – for the first time, one of my homebrews instead of an Adventure Path. If we’re unlucky, the 4e books won’t be out just yet and we’ll gather again in 4 … Continue reading The new Friday campaign
At last we reach the final 4e pregenerated character from Keep on the Shadowfell. This is the character that, most likely, Adam will be playing. In some ways, I think the Wizard has had the most drastic makeover of all the characters in 4e. Fighters still swing swords, Cleric aid people and hit people with maces, and Rogues sneak attack. However, the new at-will powers … Continue reading Meet the 4e Human Wizard
I’ve just completed my semi-monthly trip to Melbourne. Actually, I think I’ve only been down there once this year. No sign of Keep on the Shadowfell, alas. I visited Minotaur Books first, and picked up five books: Beguilement by Lois McMaster Bujold, and Legacy by the same author – the first two books of her Sharing Knife series. LMB is one of the truly great … Continue reading Back from Melbourne
Well, the early orders for PCs are in… Adam wants to play the Wizard, Greg wants to play the Dragonborn Paladin, and Nate wants to play the Rogue. I’ve still got to preview the Wizard and the Cleric, so let’s start with the cleric. There is, in fact, errata to the cleric, which is included in this posting (thanks to ShinRyuRR of EN World for doing … Continue reading Meet the 4e Half-Elf Cleric
