Interview With Peter Lee of Wizards of the Coast About the Legend of Drizzt Board Game
Although it might sound odd to think of Dungeons & Dragons as a board game instead of a pen & paper role-playing game, the truth is that there have been board game variants of the franchise almost from day one. As a young child I remember playing Dungeon! with my cousins on family get-togethers. I’ve…

My Favorite D&D Books: Aurora’s Whole Realms Catalog
Aurora’s Whole Realms Catalog is a strange book to pick as my favorite D&D book of all time. Even people who were playing D&D when it came out have likely never held a copy in their hands, let alone read it. That is a shame. When it came out, every D&D release was a boxed…

My Favorite D&D Books: Oriental Adventures

My Favorite D&D Books: Dark Sun (2nd Edition Campaign Setting)
The original Dark Sun boxed set was a revelation for me. My Dungeons and Dragons tastes evolved in a different way than most, pieced together from the BECMI (Basic, Expert, Companion, Master, and Immortal) version of D&D and whatever 1st Edition books I stumbled across. Since I didn’t read fantasy novels, my vision of fantasy…

Dungeons & Dragons: Neverwinter Campaign Setting Character Themes
Today we are going to talk about the thirteen character themes introduced in the Neverwinter Campaign Setting. We touched on these yesterday in our review of the guidebook, but today we’re going in-depth and seeing which of the thirteen are worth using and what’s worth ignoring. Neverwinter Noble The gist of a Neverwinter Noble is…

My Favorite D&D Books: Fiend Folio
The Fiend Folio was my very first 1st Edition AD&D book. I had started with the classic BECMI D&D books and moved on to the Jeff Easley covered 2nd Edition books. 1st Edition had a certain cache with me, due in part to age, but more to its weirdness. When the guy in my video…
