Dum­ping coins and awar­ding chests for trea­sure from Geek Ken

I always stood by han­ding out coin as trea­sure. Be it gems, pie­ces of art, or some other type of pre­cious item, I've always been a fan of awar­ding mone­tary trea­sure to groups.

D&D Encoun­ters (Week 9) from Dungeon's Master

Before star­ting D&D Encoun­ter week 9, I had a tough deci­sion to make. Last week we had a total party kill (TPK). I had to decide if I wan­ted to resu­rrect my Gith Monk and keep pla­ying him for the remai­ning four weeks or if I should play a tota­lly dif­fe­rent character?

The Value of a One-Shot from DM Samuel's RPG Musings

Okay, I’ll admit it… I don’t like run­ning one-shot adven­tu­res. I usua­lly find it cum­ber­some, slow, and gene­ra­lly boring. One of the reasons I love DMing so much is that my pla­yers and I get to weave a story that inclu­des ele­ments in which ever­yone is inves­ted. A one-shot pretty…

Why I Hate Magic Items from Con­ti­nuing Clockwise

I don’t really hate magic items. Indi­vi­dua­lly, they are a lot of fun. As a Dun­geons and Dra­gons 4^th edi­tion pla­yer, I really enjo­yed my paladin’s +2 fla­ming long sword, and I love his +3 imposter’s plate mail

Gears of Ruin: Sabo­tage! Part 2 from Cri­ti­cal Hits » RPG

Ama­zin­gly, the Gnome Airs­hip was still intact when the PCs own ship set in for­ma­tion near it (along the Melorian's living airs­hip, and the War­for­ged chaos-propelled aero­lith). Vis­count Daven Sakran was joyously awai­ting for them, all smi­les and vir­gi­nal inno­cence under the mal­vo­lent look of our…

Picked Pockets – Spi­rits of Eden from Thie­ves' Cant

Picked Pockets – Spi­rits of Eden from Thie­ves' Cant

Ayer se cono­ció la noti­cia del falle­ci­miento el 20 de marzo de John Eric Hol­mes a la edad de 80 años.
Hol­mes fue pro­fe­sor de neu­ro­lo­gía y, en sus últi­mos años pro­fe­sio­na­les, tam­bién de bio­lo­gía, en la Uni­ver­sity of Sout­hern Cali­for­nia.

A pesar de no ser una de las "gran­des figu­ras" del mun­di­llo, era muy apre­ciado por­que fue uno de los dise­ña­do­res ori­gi­na­les de mayor edad, y, sobre todo, por­que a dife­ren­cia del resto, él no pro­ce­día del mun­di­llo de los war­ga­mes. Pero por encima de todo, él fue el autor de la "caja azul" de Dun­geons & Dra­gons, publi­cada en 1977 y cuya segunda impre­sión tuvo lugar al año siguiente (revi­sada por él mismo).
Escri­bió varias nove­las de fic­ción y otras tan­tas de no fic­ción, así como rela­tos cor­tos publi­ca­dos en la revista Dra­gon entre 1979 y 1982.
