Initiative Or What?: January 2011
http://initorwhat.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 23, 2011. Dr StrangeOrcs (or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Skill Challenge). As you may know, I've been playing the 4th Edition of Dungeons and Dragons since its release two years ago. I love the game, and do what I can to support it. Of course, no game is perfect, and where I've seen gaps in the rules, or a need for "fluff", I've tried to step in throw my two cents in. No planned encounters (oops! Flip over and dump them in the river. As often as they liked. Since the hero...

Initiative Or What?: August 2011

Tuesday, August 23, 2011. True Dungeon Tokens - Repurposed. So it seems the one big event that I missed at this year's GenCon, was a little thing called True Dungeon. I'll let you read the details at the link. When you're done (if you don't get hooked), come back here a bit. However, playing True Dungeon isn't what this post is really about. So what to do with these tokens? I know.sounds crazy, right? Automatically set fire to 1 ignitable OR Next attack does ongoing 5 fire damage (save ends). Your next w...

Not #DnD, but still #Fantasy #cookery | pipeandscotchdm
https://pipeandscotchdm.wordpress.com/2012/01/28/not-dnd-but-still-fantasy-cookery
Tabletop gaming, Dungeon-Mastering, pipesmoking, and single malts. Not #DnD, but still #Fantasy #cookery. Okay, so this will be my first NON-RPG post. This morning I made banana-stuffed french toast with berry syrup and my wife demanded that I write this down to preserve it and let others try it out. 8 slices bread (you can use french bread or white bread). 2 ripe bananas sliced. 1/2 package of french vanilla pudding mix. 4 tablespoons white sugar. 1/2 cup milk (1/4 and 1/4). 1/2 cup mixed berries. Place...

A few ideas for #DnDNext | pipeandscotchdm
https://pipeandscotchdm.wordpress.com/2012/01/27/a-few-ideas-for-dndnext
Tabletop gaming, Dungeon-Mastering, pipesmoking, and single malts. A few ideas for #DnDNext. A lot of talk has been flying around about what D&D:Next should be about. Some people cry foul for the mere four year gap between editions (likely the same that bawled about the same gap between 3rd edition and 4th) and even more complain that the new version will never live up to the most recent version, again, probably the same ones who couldn’t believe that D&D could move past 3.5. Not all people of irish dece...

Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Dungeons and Dragons Essentials - Monster Vault: An Un-Review. While I don't really do reviews on this site, I have promised my readers in previous posts to give you my comments about the various Dungeons and Dragons Essentials products that are coming out this year (and into next year). Yesterday in the mail, I received my order from the Nobel Barn of two of the Essentials titles: Dungeon Tiles Master Set - The City, and The Monster Vault. Oh my Heavens, the counters! Finally...

House rules on damage and the consequences of such #DnD | pipeandscotchdm
https://pipeandscotchdm.wordpress.com/2012/02/17/house-rules-on-damage-and-the-consequences-of-such-dnd
Tabletop gaming, Dungeon-Mastering, pipesmoking, and single malts. House rules on damage and the consequences of such #DnD. So I recently was on the receiving end of a rather nasty burn, I started thinking about damage in dungeons and dragons. Your players are always taking damage from one source or another, and while it’s their major concern, not a lot of detail is put into WHAT happens. DM: Roll your save. PC: Uh… I got a 17. PC: Darn. Heal me up, cleric! Cleric: DHURRR CURE LIGHT WOUNDS! Damage heals ...

Tabletop gaming, Dungeon-Mastering, pipesmoking, and single malts. True Neutral Human Druid (4th Level). Are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well.

#DnD #5e, or “How I stopped worrying and said, who really gives a shit, let’s play?” #DnDNext | pipeandscotchdm
https://pipeandscotchdm.wordpress.com/2012/01/10/dnd-5e-or-how-i-stopped-worrying-and-said-who-really-gives-a-shit-lets-play-dndnext
Tabletop gaming, Dungeon-Mastering, pipesmoking, and single malts. DnD #5e, or “How I stopped worrying and said, who really gives a shit, let’s play? A LOT of hype and rumor and speculation is going around about the announcement of 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons. Wizards of the Coast presented their official statement yesterday in the Legends and Lore. And absolutely obnoxious groaning that followed the release of 4th edition about how everyone HATED. The new rules and how DUMB. The new class systems w...
