Earlier today, I ran my final homebrew 3.5e D&D session. There are still a few Savage Tide sessions to go, but I don’t anticipate that I’ll be creating my own adventures for 3.*e any more. The players were stupendous – they defeated everything I threw at them, and managed to surprise me with things I really didn’t expect. This post is part one of a series … Continue reading A Farewell to 3rd Edition – Part I
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

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yB2HZcwqJR8 Go watch it. Argh… it’ll probably be a few months before we get the actual season here in Australia. The tv show that defines my life… Continue reading Doctor Who Season 4 trailer
What do I do on an Easter Weekend? I play games, of course! Strangely, there were no RPGs involved at all. Indeed, the next few weeks will be very light for RPGs altogether – Martin & Peggy are going to be away (in various places) for the next few Fridays, which knocks out Star Wars and D&D – Savage Tide. Meanwhile, come this Sunday, I’ll … Continue reading Easter Weekend
The original PCs posted by Wizards for the D&D XP delve had a few errors in them. I’ve just gone and made a comparison… here are the changes that were made: Riardon – Eladrin Ranger 1 His “Careful Attack” power is now +10 vs AC, 1d10 damage. It was +10 vs AC, 1d10+4 damage. Skamos – Tiefling Wizard 1 Change of text describing Implement use; … Continue reading D&D 4e characters from D&D XP – changes
So, Paizo Publishing have decided to go with D&D “3.75” after all… that’s interesting. Unfortunately, it also means that I’ll not be getting back aboard the Paizo bandwagon for a while (although the Paizo/Necromancer bandwagon may be an interesting place to be). For the most part… no, I absolutely have enough 3.5e adventures to last me until the decade after the next one. Savage Tide … Continue reading Paizo, 4e and me
This has been a sad fortnight. It began with the death of Gary Gygax, who, though I never met him, I’d spent enough time corresponding with over the internet (thanks, EN World!) to consider a friend… not to mention one of the most influential people in my life. Then, last weekend, I was informed that one of my good friends, Rob Reid, had collapsed and … Continue reading Memories and Musings
E. Gary Gygax – 27 July, 1938 – 4 March 2008. I’ve just learnt the news. I’m in somedegree of shock. I first became aware of Gary through his work, primarily the Dungeons & Dragons game. Later, much later, I got to know him through his e-mails and messageboard posts. We exchanged several posts on EN World over the past six or seven years. He … Continue reading In Memory of Gary Gygax
Ok, this is interesting… When you wear no or light armour, you gain the armour’s bonus to your Armour Class (AC), along with either your Dexterity or Intelligence modifier. So, a Wizard with no armour with a 20 Intelligence has a 15 AC to begin with. When you wear heavy armour, you gain the armour’s bonus to your Armour Class, but you get no ability … Continue reading AC in 4e
