by Bob

Just because I’m off messing with a new blog and haven’t had much time for D&D this week doesn’t mean you can’t get your DDXP 4E info right from the source.  Get over to Critical Hits and check it out!

Primary Group Cohesion in Dungeons and Dragons

by Bob

Stupid Ranger has an insightful post today about the way that players should work together in a D&D game.  I won’t rehash her points, you can read them over there for yourself.  I will add something to the conversation, though.  When I was getting my Master’s degree in History, I had a professor who turned [...]

Minis Feature – Azhag the Slaughterer

by Bob

This one was cool. A few years ago, I bout a mini on eBay.  The ad said, simply, “Orc on Dragon, painted.” It was an orc on a wyvern, painted poorly.  Actually, it was the Warhammer character Azhag the Slaughterer, painted very poorly.  So, I fixed him:

by Bob

Just a quick entry this morning.  Get your asses over to critical hits NOW and tell the boys what you’d like to have them talk to the WotC designers about this weekend.  Bartoneous and The Game have scored press passes for the event, and have promised to be eyes and ears for those of us [...]

by Bob

photo credit: kirk lau (The above pic has NOTHING to do with Building a new campaign.  I just liked it, thought you might like it too.)  Up to this point, I (and hopefully you) have just a ton of materials, some of which are related to one another, and others that aren’t.  I decided this weekend [...]

Minis feature – Boskan

by Bob

This is Boskan.  You can read all about him here. For the Flowers and Unicorns campaign, I painted a mini for everyone’s character, and gave them out as Christmas gifts.  Unfortunately, I don’t have pics of all of them;  I’m hoping to get them all in the same room again one day.  At any rate, [...]

Dealing with Problem Players

by Bob

A while back, I wrote about how, as a DM, I tend to make one of the worst players.  I think this is pretty common among DMs.  It is a different feeling, being on the other side of the screen. So, let me tell you about my character.  If you’re not interested, skip to the [...]

Minis feature – Reaper.

by Bob

This is another Reaper Mini that I painted around five years ago.  Reaper makes the best minis on the market.  D&D Minis are fine, but you just don’t get the detail with plastic that you get with pewter.  Other brands have come close, but none have had the consistent quality, in terms of detailed molds, [...]
