I know that I’m stron­ger in some areas of my Dun­geons and Dra­gons 4^th edi­tion pla­ying and dun­geon mas­te­ring than others. In the pur­suit of con­ti­nuous impro­ve­ment, I’d like to share some recent reflec­tions on my strengths and weak­nes­ses. I’m a good role-player. I really enjoy craf­ting characters..

D&D Encoun­ters Dark Sun (Week 2) from Dungeon's Master

This week I got a dou­ble dose of Dark Sun. I was on vaca­tion last week, but before I left I made arran­ge­ments with 6 pla­yers to skip the first week and run encoun­ters one and two back-to-back this week. After just two ses­sions of Fury of the Was­te­wal­ker I have to admit that I

Action: Fai­lure from Kobold Quar­terly Maga­zine: Mons­ters and Magic for D&D Gamers

When it comes to skill cha­llen­ges, fai­lure is not an option. “Of course,” you say. “No one wants to fail a skill cha­llenge.” But this means somet­hing else entirely.

D&D Encoun­ters Dark Sun (Week 1) from Dungeon's Master

The first ses­sion of D&D Encoun­ters: Dark Sun was a sink or swim les­son in desert sur­vi­val. This second sea­son of the pro­gram takes place on the world Athas, an end­less expanse of sand and sea­ring heat having been blas­ted life­less by the rava­ging effects of magic. On Athas the majo­rity of the..

Cha­rac­ter Roles: The Hea­ler from Life and Times of a Phi­lip­pine Gamer

There’s a com­mon impres­sion that there’s no job more than­kless than being a Hea­ler. Much like the Tank, they don’t really get a lot of the glory. Howe­ver, unlike the tank, the loss of a hea­ler is somet­hing that pla­yers try to avoid at all costs. Ever­yone knows that hea­lers are…

One of the sug­ges­tions in Chap­ter 1 of the Dun­geon Master’s Guide (DMG) is to inform your pla­yers of the style of game you will run before the game starts. This is sug­ges­ted so that the pla­yers can are pre­pa­red for the world in which their PCs will be living, and I think it is

Friday’s 4E Free­bie – Dusk by Mike “Gabe” Krahu­lik from NEUROGLYPH Games

“Please don’t take offense, but we’d appre­ciate it if you’d refrain from hun­ting in this imme­diate area. We have to stay incons­pi­cuous, you unders­tand.” ~ Car­lisle Cullen (Twi­light, 2005) Look, let me set the record straight right from the start – I am not a Twi­light fan.

A 4e D&D Rules Ques­tion: Tele­por­ting What You Can’t See from Dungeon's Master

DMs are encou­ra­ged to say yes whe­ne­ver pos­si­ble in 4e D&D. But in a recent game we expe­rien­ced a situa­tion that was very unu­sual and saying yes didn’t seem appro­priate. As the DM I said no at the time but agreed that we should do some inves­ti­ga­tion before the situa­tion hap­pens again.
