A few new pages added to the site.

Pages for Most Downloaded, Least Downloaded, and Mean Streets are now available. For the most and least downloaded pages, I’m giving you the top and bottom twenty, respectively. The Mean Streets page gives you all (two) downloads for the D20 Modern series.

Need to add some more to that, don’t I?

OK, so the calendar I checked from Wizards only listed Underdark, but apparently there’s a second book out this month: Player’s Handbook Races: Dragonborn

New options and character hooks for dragonborn characters.

If you want to play the ultimate dragonborn hero, this book is for you!

This expansion of the Player’s Handbook® core rulebook explores the mysteries of the dragonborn. It presents D&D® players with exciting new options for their dragonborn characters, including unique racial feats, powers, paragon paths, and epic destinies. This book also includes ways to flesh out your dragonborn character’s background and personality.

Behold the glorious majesty! Wonder at it’s simple, yet complex design. Marvel…OK, I’ll settle down now.

But, seriously, the old girl was overdue for a face-lift. I hope you like it. A couple of things I want to call out to you:

1. The Pages are now at the bottom of your window. Go ahead, take a look. I’ll wait.
2. You can now customize your theme on Dungeoneering. I’m partial to Water with Fire being a close runner-up. They’re all good, in my opinion, so play around and find the one you like.
3. There is now a rotating slideshow in the top right. Hopefully it caught your attention on your way in. Click on a preview to check out the article about it and download the PDF. These will change every so often, so keep an eye out for something you might like.
4. The Gear Icon is going to be Dungeoneering’s new logo. It’ll evolve, but I like the gear and I think it represents the site pretty well. Parts of a machine to get the game going. That sort of thing.
5. And lastly, we’re down to one ad zone on the site. Dungeoneering almost (and I mean within a few bucks a year) pays for itself.  We have two revenue streams for the site. One is the banner ads from Google. If you’re so inclined, please click the banner ad up top and check out our advertisers.  Every click sends us a few cents, but it does add up. The other stream is Amazon referrals. Every time you click a book from the monthly release announcements or any of CDs on the Music to Game By articles and order something from Amazon (anything on that visit, not just the title in question), a percentage gets kicked over to me.

OK, That about covers the changes. Thanks for visiting. As always, don’t be afraid to drop me a line with comments, questions, or suggestions. Some of my best sets have been user-inspired.

Good luck and happy gaming. If you haven’t done so yet, join the Dungeoneering Facebook page and hook up with your fellow gamers.

Descend into the depths of the world!

No realm in the D&D® world stirs the imagination like the Underdark. This vast subterranean domain holds thousands of adventure possibilities and myriad threats, including drow, mind flayers, dragons, and worse! Entire campaigns can unfold in its depths, and its rewards are boundless.

Underdark™ contains everything a Dungeon Master needs to run adventures or campaigns set in the vast underworld of his or her D&D campaign, including new monsters and hazards, ready-to-play encounters, monster lairs, and detailed information on various dark-dwelling “movers and shakers.”

Hope everyone’s year is off to a great start!

I’m hoping to get more maps and tiles and terrain done this year. Also, there’s been a load of requests for more 3D (foldable) items. Look for those in the coming weeks and months.

I have a fantasy doors set that’s coming along quite nicely. I should probably make some walls to go with them. The new doors are tri-fold so they are easy to make and easy to store. The walls will be of the same design.

Sci-Fi doors and walls will be next on the list of to-do items.

If you haven’t done so yet, be sure to become a fan of Dungeoneering on Facebook. We already have some discussion and photo posts on the page, so come on by and meet your fellow Dungeoneers.
