I also managed to get some time to build out the next two encounter for my group on Sunday. It should be fun some interesting encounters, one based in a mountainous area, and one in a semi open clearing each with its own tactics. I'll share them for the next few encounters.
My Site
Shadow of Orcus, Chapter 10, session2
ME: This was a fun night, but kind of dragged on, we lost track of time, but everyone had fun.
Encounter, Undead Trolls
ME: This is an encounter i build for my players, they really enjoyed it the map is based off of WotC and all rights are reserved to them.
Unboxing the world wide d&d game day material
ME: crappy pictures and not much text but i do give some idea.
Adventure Ideas
A Debt Which None Dares to Collect | GamesTopica.Net - Topics in Game Creation
ME: GamesTopica has released a wonderful little idea here, i seriously think you can get a 1-2 part adventure off in this, or easily turn it into a dungeon crawl. If your building an adventure off of this, please let me know i would be interested in seeing it. It also gave me the idea for a short campaign that is based on characters needing to take a loan to become adventures in the first place.
Wizards
Most likely one of the biggest thing talked about from wizards this week was the release of the monk play test class. Another item of noteworthiness is the iphone wallpapers. i myself do not own one, i think they are pointless. (that's just the excuse i use because i can't justify the cost here in Canada) However the iphone wallpapers still worked on my nokia 8086 poc.Next week, i am looking forward to the world wide d&d game day [#dndgd on twitter], and of course the MM2. If you noticed on the 22nd they are releasing a play test of MM3. Is it just me or do you think they should wait a bit.
DM Tips
How to handle airborne minis on the battlemat | Campaign Mastery
ME: must read DM tips on having elevated combat, i myself like using the d6 method to show how many squares up a mini is.
Icosahedrophilia » Laying (terrain) tiles: storage solutions
ME: If your like me and enjoy collecting the WotC tiles, then this is a good read for some storage tip. Next week i hope to offer a hobo solution.
Icosahedrophilia » Nanotechnology: storing D&D Miniatures
ME: Also from icoahedrophilia, its a post on storage D&D miniatures. He offers a good solution for medium or smaller creatures beacuse you can just get those containers at the dollar store, but larger miniatures are a bit more tricky to store.
Skill Challenges
Skill Challenge: Playing With Fire — Dungeon's Master
ME: DungeonsMaster has done it again, he continues to release excellent skill challenges that every DM should read. The more skill challenges you do the better you get at them.
Other
Monster Manual 2 - In Depth #1 | Critical Hits
ME: Critical Hits offers a review of some of the critters from MM2, i think these are the ones that just was all over the internet the last two weeks.
Points of Light: Monk Playtest
ME: Points of Light has a review on the monk class already, talk about getting some game time in.
ME: what a great idea for a magic item, i think i will use something like this. maybe a encounter power of flip the coin, heads nothing, tails you get a +2 bonus to your next skill challenge
Hello, My Name is Barbie: Girls are the Natural-Born Gamers « Dice Monkey
ME: Being a father of a two and a half year old daughter, i really enjoyed reading this post. I want my kid to enjoy the same kind of fun i had in d&d, but i can't be upset if she chose not to, its her choice. That being said i think we won't refer to Sunday night's as guys nights anymore, instead game night works better.
