Like many people my first real exposure to 4th Edition was via H1: Keep on the Shadowfell, which along with leaked pdf workproofs, was intended to showcase 4th Edition before it officially came out. On a purely technical level it succeeded in doing that: you get quick-start rules, some pre-fabbed PCs, and (ir)relevant(?) monster stats. To me, it […]
Raggamoffyn concept. This thing is too fucking stupid for words, but I figure I can use it for a joke monster despite April almost being over. Click for larger image!
I’ve never had the misfortune chance to use a deck of many things on either side of the screen, though I have to say that as a DM its something that falls into the category of, “Very likely to break your game: do NOT fucking use.” I’m a fan of a more or less balanced game […]

I’ve been extremely busy with moving, work, and school. Things should smooth out within the week, but until then I’m going to call out a few DDI articles that I actually give a fuck about (meaning almost anything but Forgotten Realms articles). First up is Underhanded and Overconfident, an article on playing scoundrel types. Its roughly […]
