Quick Bits on Monster Manual 2

2009-06-10 – 0:39:23

So I was walking through a bookstore last week and saw the Monster Manual 2.  I knew there wasn’t a whole lot to see (it’s a monster manual, and therefore remarkably similar to the first one), but I still wanted to get a look at the new player races, if any could be found at [...]

Reflecting on 4e via Someone Else’s Houserules

2009-05-8 – 11:21:44

I found a mirror with which to reflect upon what I wish 4e would have been. By mirror, I mean someone else’s blog post.Rule 8 is alright, but rule 9 just works for me. Ups the difficulty a bit.

Hope You Weren’t Expecting That PHB2 Review

2009-04-18 – 3:59:49

I’ve decided to stop keeping the people that check here regularly (all four of them) on the edge of their seats and state that I’m just not going to continue the PHB2 review.  To bring it to a nice close I’ll simply state that if you liked Martial Power and the core 4e rulebooks, then [...]

The Player’s Handbook 2: Page-by-Page (Part 1)

2009-03-18 – 6:18:39

I got my hands on the PHB2 today.  There’s too much for me to cover in the whole book, so I’ll be breaking it down into three or four segments.  So far I’ve only really gotten a look at the races and racial paragon paths, so that’s what’s going to be presented here in the [...]

Review: 4E Shaman Preview (PHB2)

2009-02-9 – 13:55:54

WotC is bringing Shamans into D&D.  I like Shamans in M:tG (see picture, love this guy), so I’m hoping for the ability to play a big fatty in round four without paying its mana cost.  Let’s see if they deliver…

Role: Leader. Leans toward either defender or striker as a secondary role.
Power Source: Primal. The [...]
