Marvin the Mage

I've been reading Marvin the Mage (and you should be too!) and getting a huge kick out of it. It's hilarious and reminiscent of the best of the cartoons that used to run in the back of Dragon magazine in the golden pre-issue 100 years.

BlackBeltGaming has posted a series of videos as he walks through setting up Tomb of the Lich Lord and playing Roderick Talus the Paladin vs. Tannin Shadefoot the Rogue.

When The Concept Mattered More Then The Rendering

This isn't an exotically armored Dragonborn Controller Battlemind (???), nor is it some scantily chainmail bikini clad barbarian woman facing some bizarre unrecognizable made-up critter. Every blade of grass rendered in full detail. This is just a really good idea powerfully composed.

I miss the time when the idea mattered more than the rendering.

D&D Next

Kevin Ohannessian "By creating D&D Next (as it is currently codenamed) with a simple base, akin to the originalD&D from the '70s, and then designing optional rule modules to support more complicated systems akin to the additions that came with each new version over the years, the company is hoping to appeal to fans of each edition."

I like these words.

Game #2 – A Darklord Emerges!
World of Dungeoneer 3-5 Players
GM - Thomas Denmark
Mon Jan 30

The Darklord and his minions are marching across the freelands of Tarnyss. A ragged band of heroes is all that stands between enslavement and peace. You can defeat the Darklord by beating back his armies, by crushing his dungeon strongholds, or by destroying the artifact of evil that gives power to the Darklord. You will face impossible quests and overcome heroic challenges to win – or you will die trying…

World of Dungeoneer is an RPG-like boardgame set in a grim fantasy world. It is based on the popular card game series published by Atlas Games. At the start of each game, a “Darklord” card is chosen who is trying to conquer the world with his evil minions: Angrihm the Lich King and his Undead Hordes, Nakari the Queen of Darkness and her legion of Naga maidens, or Umbar the Golem Lord and his mechanized horde. Players work cooperatively against the game. The war rages on both a giant world map where armies battle, and small dungeon maps where special Quests are completed by the players’ characters. Run by the famed artist and creator of the Dungeoneer card game, this will be a great chance to try it out before it hits the shelves!
