That’s right kids, back to the sewers! Added some larger pools (both pass-through and dead ends) as well as some zig-zag sections (for both 1x and 2x widths).

Don’t forget to download Pack #1 to get yourself started.

I have a confession to make. Sometimes, I like Talisman more than D&D. Blasphemy, I know, but sometimes I’m just not in the mood for full on RPG. Which brings me to my catch-all description for Talisman: D&D Light.

The basics of the game are this: You pick a premade character to play (Warrior, Priest, Wizard, etc) and begin questing for a mystical Talisman. This artifact will allow you to battle for the Crown of Command. Along the way you’ll fight monsters, demons, undead, and even the other players. Heck, you might even get turned into a toad!

So why play this instead of D&D (or other RPG)? There’s no need for a DM (everyone plays). There’s no planning, no setup, no story. Just hack and slash and spells with your friends. We used to play it mostly when several players were missing from our usual game session.

The game was popular about 20-odd years ago, but old sets went for $200 on eBay. Gamers Workshop created a limited edition set about 8 years ago. Now, the rights have been sold off and now Black Industries is making the games (for a reasonable $30).

Well, Dungeoneering did exist before Dungeoneering.net (oh the joys of GeoCities), but the Domain and the full-on site as we know it today came into being on July 23rd, 2008.

A huge thanks to everyone who has helped, commented, and donated to the cause over the years.

Here’s the rest of the JPG version of the basic dungeon terrain. Samples are below.

I know it’s pretty out-of-the-norm for a list, but I think it’s one of those things that really adds spice to a clan or powerful family. Wherever possible, I’m offering them in their original language (usually Latin) to add further spice.

Did some upgrades to WordPress and decided the old YellowJacket theme just wasn’t doing it for me. Hope everyone likes the new Greenline theme. It’s a lot wider and I’m really liking the two sidebars instead of one.

In other news, it was just brought to my attention that one of the downloads (3D Columns from Stone Kingdom) was locked and wouldn’t print. My fault entirely, but the bloody thing had been downloaded over a thousand times before anyone mentioned it! (BTW, thank you Scott) If you spot a problem, let me know. Trust me, my ego isn’t that fragile.

Finally, I’m running low on ideas for D100 Lists. If you’ve got an idea, kick it on over my way. I’ll do the work, just need a starting point.

Anywho, that concludes the latest site update. We now return you to your regularly scheduled game session…

These are the old base terrain sets done in JPG format. It’s a one-time offer. I’m not keen on sending these out, but they’ve been requested and I’ve already done the work.

Simple request: Do not use these in other products without permission. Thanks.

I haven’t done a review of any sort on this site in several years, but I thought I might bring them back once in a while. Today I’m giving a thumbs up to the late HBO TV series “Rome.”

Lasting only two seasons, it follows the lives of both the heavy hitters of the Roman Empire and a few “commoners,” just before the turn of the millennium (circa 44 BC). I’ll warn you now: It’s violent, graphic, and explicit. If it were shown in theaters it would be R, possibly NC-17. But it’s not offensive like say “Deadwood.” More »
