Cage Match–2012!
Novelist Thomas Wolfe famously wrote that “you can’t go home again.” With apologies to Mr. Wolfe, you can indeed go home…to a dungeon. Or rather, dungeons. Wizards of the Coast recently saw the sense in making available all or most of the editions of the Dungeons & Dragons game, from the earliest “zero” edition in [...]

As much as I enjoy introducing people to books I’ve enjoyed (and yes, I’m the friend who always has a stack of books to push on you every time you see me), it can be annoying sometimes to not have a friend around who hasn’t already read the same book. Without that pal, you can’t [...]

For those of you attending Immortal ConFusion in Dearborn next month, check out the auction hosted by Worldbuilder’s for the final seat at this year’s author D&D game. The auction ends on December 22nd, so hurry!
The board game Dungeon! has a long history, having been first introduced in 1975 – the year following the publication of Dungeons & Dragons, the role-playing game from which it draws its creative DNA. This simple but fun game of heroes, monsters and treasure went through several editions, the last of which hit shelves in 1992. Now, with a new edition of D&D expected on shelves within the next two or three years, Wizards of the Coast has reintroduced the game for a new generation.
Our friends at Wizards of the Coast were kind enough to supply me with two faction packs from their upcoming Dungeon Command miniatures skirmish game, and since I love unboxing new things, I thought I’d share this moment with you. I received both Sting of Lolth and Heart of Corymyr, but since I have a weak spot for spiders, drow elves and other creepy crawlies I jumped on the Lolth pack first. Maybe I’ll upload an unboxing video for the Cormyr faction next.
Even while Dungeons & Dragons Next passes through the crucible of its public playtest, the fine folks at Wizards of the Coast continue to release some great products for the game’s current edition. Into the Unknown: The Dungeon Survival Handbook is a fine addition to this line.
Our friends at Wizards of the Coast just dropped the news that they’re launching a boatload of product in support of the classic Underdark setting for Dungeons & Dragons. Included are novels, supplements, expansions for the D&D Online video game and perhaps most intriguing of all, a new skirmish game called Dungeon Command: Sting of [...]

I wrote the following during an early morning correspondence with a fellow gamer. I was attempting to encapsulate the relationship I tried to foster between my players and myself as their Dungeon Master Admittedly, it sounds cruel, but I’m a gamer from an earlier era. A better era? I’m not saying that. Just different. Hope you enjoy.
