I love it when geeks get out and help with needy causes.

Drive-Thru RPG is helping out the New Zealand Red Cross in an effort to aid those injured in the recent New Zealand quakes.

New Zealand Red Cross Relief Bundle

They’ve loaded the bundle with about $320 worth of stuff for $20. That’s a hell of steal and for a good cause!

Go do some good today and get some cool gear besides!

For the Kiwis!

It’s been a pet project off and on for a few years. Using the “print & cut once” idea from Dungeoneering’s terrain, I’ve got the basics of an Open Gaming License board game. The idea is simple, multiple board pieces are used to randomly create the whole board. Players then compete in an RPG-like game where random rolls and card draws manage the adventure. If any of you have played “Talisman” you’ll be roughly familiar with the concept. It’s D&D-lite, with all players, no DM.

The guys over at Troll and Toad are the first to buy advertising space here on Dungeoneering. Besides being suave, well-endowed, and handsome men that any girl would be happy to bring home to mom and dad, they run a great site with some awesome deals. Be sure to head on over and check them out. Great stuff, including miniatures and figures of all shapes and sizes.

With Amazon referals having gone buh-bye, here at Dungeoneering, we’re open to most any RPG-related sponsorships. If you want your site advertised on Dungeoneering, let me know!

A few months back, I put a demo video up of the new D&D prototype running on Microsoft’s Surface technology.

Well, here’s another demo of actual gameplay. It’s a little muddled, but you get a better sense of how it plays.

Draconomicon: Metallic Dragons describes several varieties of dragons, including gold, silver, copper, iron, and adamantine dragons. It also introduces several other kinds of metallic dragons suitable for any D&D campaign.

This supplement presents dragons both malevolent and benign, and gives details on each dragon’s powers, tactics, myths, lairs, servitors, and more. In addition, this book provides new information about the roles that metallic dragons fill in a D&D game. Story and campaign elements in the book give Dungeon Masters ready-to-play material that is easily incorporated into a game, including adventure hooks, quests, encounters, and pregenerated treasure hoards.

Personally, I love using metallic dragons as both benefactors and “chess players,” moving your PCs around in their own personal games. But I’m also keen on using “polymorph self” to keep their identities a complete secret until that last, crucial (and often bloody) moment.

This is quite possibly the coolest thing I’ve seen in RPGs in a very long time.

I know you die-hards out there will never let table-top gaming die, but this could add a whole new generation of table-top gamers into the mix.

Wanted to thank the guys over at RolePlayingTips.com for the free publicity. Dungeoneering.net is mentioned in their latest article.
