Here is a device that I can see using at the table. The Archos 9 combines the functionality of a netbook with the ease-of-use of a tablet. No related posts. No related posts.

Speeding up combat in D&D 4e: Part 1

Milambus — Mon, 11 May 2009 13:00:42 +0000

One of the largest complaints that I hear about forth edition Dungeons & Dragons is that combat takes too long. I believe that there are several factors that lead to combat running slow. In this article I will discuss a few of these factors and ways that you can speed up your game. Related posts:

Black Rage, Solo Brute: Take 1

Milambus — Wed, 06 May 2009 22:06:32 +0000

The Black Rage is a giant that has been twisted by the necromatic powers within the Shadowfell. The Black Rage has learned to live off of its pain, turning it against those that dare attack it. In the middle of battle the Black Rage will go perfectly still, allowing its enemies to strike it, seeming to absorb the damage. Then suddenly dark energy will burst forth from the Dark Rage striking against those that had damaged it. Related posts:

Removing magic weapons from DnD 4e

Milambus — Wed, 06 May 2009 17:51:04 +0000

In an upcoming Dungeons & Dragons Forth Edition campaign, I have decided that I don’t want to be bothered with giving out standard magical items. Items like +1 longswords and +2 suits of platemail. I want the magic items that I award to be special, not just an expected result of the leveling up process. I want Excalibur, not +1 longsword. Related posts:

Making Rituals More Usable

Milambus — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 19:35:55 +0000

Earlier today Mike Mearls asked "Thursday's #dnd question - have rituals seen much use in your game?" Looking through several responses, it looks like many groups have not used rituals. Those groups that have used rituals, do not use rituals very often. The largest complaint about rituals were the casting costs associated with them. Related posts:

WotC announces changes to D&D event scheduling

Milambus — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 13:31:52 +0000

So when I recieved an email from WotC this morning, I figured it would have something to do with yesterday’s fiasco. But apparently I was being naive, and instead its an announcement for changes to how you register Living Forgotten Realm events. Dear WPN Organizer, This Wednesday, April 8, we’ll be implementing improvements to the D&D event [...] No related posts.

First Game, First Death

Milambus — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 13:00:35 +0000

It seems that I have always wanted to try Dungeons & Dragons (DnD), but never really had the chance to. The release of Dungeon & Dragon's Forth Edition finally spurred me to actually seek out a game. No related posts.
