Just working away as a contractor, so there’s less flexibility in my time (though being paid hourly is GREAT).

I do have a partially finished set that I want to get back to working on soon. It’s based on your suggestions. That’s right, you, the reader get to decide what comes out next. If you haven’t done so lately, drop me a line and put in your requests!

In the meantime, I would LOVE to see some photos of your games (and the dungeon tiles) in action. The next time you game with Dungeoneering stuff, whip out that camera (or phone) grab a few shots and send them on over. Your characters could have a front row seat here at Dungeoneering!

We are upgraded and the site doesn’t appear to have suffered any serious harm.

Oh well, back to work! I have a few ideas and a new set that’s about 30% done. I think everyone will be able to use the heck out of this one.

I’ll leave the ones up for now, but the long and the short of it is, thanks to the short-sightedness and greed of the State of Colorado, Amazon has closed all Associates accounts within Colorado.

Basically, the state wants a piece of the pie that they simply have no right to. Amazon has countered by closing those accounts, rather than deal with the extra burden and paperwork associated with collecting taxes on both the sale and the referral fee.

So in the end, the little guy (i.e. Me) get’s the screw, Amazon keeps more money, and the State of Colorado is back where it started from. Government stupidity at its finest.

If you’re a resident of the State of Colorado and would like to weigh in, drop your congressman a line as well as our lame-duck…I mean…retiring governor.

Pre-Order Now

A few new pages added to the site.

Pages for Most Download, 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?

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.

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.

Just realized I hadn’t put a link to follow me on Twitter, if you’re so inclined.
