Looks like the current residents are unaware of the secret area behind the tapestry…
I wonder if your PCs will find it.
If you watched the Superbowl this year, and saw the “So God Made A Farmer” ad, you’ll want to watch this:
At the Pelgrane Press blog, Robin D Laws went on a mini rant about modules and adventures that say “should” when they really mean “can.” He takes on the passive agressive nature of this wording head on.
The Howling Tower took on a difficult topic – Class balance – in a thoughtful and thorough article. Is class balance achievable? If it is, should it be sought after?
Win a really cool castle (no, seriously, this castle is awesome) at the Terrainscapes Youtube channel! Check the video description for the entry form link.
Someone on Twitter linked this page this week; if you’ve got some time on your hands, and are a history buff, check out these texts that inspired JRR Tolkien to write Lord of the Rings.
Froths of 4e cleared up some 4e myths. Agree or disagree?
The Angry DM is at it again, this time ranting about PC backstories. It always seems there’s either none or waaaay too much. How do you find balance?
Dungeon’s Master encourages us to add more flavor and attitude to towns in our campaign.
Finally, on the non-RPG front, Boardgamequest posted a great list of games under $20. We own at least a few of them, and agree with all the recommendations. Pick up one or two of them yourself, and save a little cash!
With the new Dungeon Command set coming out this week, I thought I’d write a short article on how I fit three Dungeon Command sets into one Dungeon Command box. Fair warning, however: some of my suggestions will have the purists among you gnashing your teeth and setting your computers on fire, but for the pragmatists, these techniques will work quite well.

I like this map because you can use the staircase at the bottom of the map either way. It could be used as an exit from the cave into a dungeon or another level, but it also could be the way the PCs get into the cave. And then, imagine their surprise, when they exit the cave, and blinking in the sunlight, they find themselves….
Just this week, Steve Winter posted a picture on Twitter of something he found in a WotC warehouse. It’s the original painting from the cover of the 1977 Basic Set. Pretty cool find! And if you visit WotC HQ someday, it seems as though you could view it yourself, if you happened by the R&D area….
Growing Up Gamers posted a good article for parents this week. It discusses tips on gaming (with other adults) when you have kids around.
Sly Flourish gave us some good ideas for your party’s home base. Our favorite bit of advice? “Let the players decide upon and build out their home base. Give them options but don’t force a solution.” Some players LIVE for this kind of stuff.
Gnome Stew mulled over the idea of PCs who are children. (Not to be confused with children gamers)
Thoughtcrime Games began exploring Africa as a setting for fantasy games. They started with a discussion of Ethiopian history.
Finally, Semper Initiativus Unum put forth the controversial idea that maybe a man named David Wesely is actually the father (grandfather?) of D&D. Go learn some history. (And if you want some more, check this out)
A few months ago, Michael Robles, the WotC Magic: The Gathering Community Brand Manager, posted a project on his blog. This project had nothing to do with M:tG however. No, it was a Gamma World Deck of Many Things. I was quite excited to see this, and even more excited to see that friend of the blog Wes Hall had done the awesome artwork for them. I wanted me a deck of that goodness.
But I didn’t want the “print and cut out yourself” version of these cards that was being offered in Microsoft Word format. No, I wanted cards - professionally printed, glossy, poker sized cards. So I contacted Wes to see if this was a possibility. He put some files together for me, and I sent them off to Superior POD to be printed.
Here’s where the story gets interesting. Continue reading
