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.
