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.

Now, to get a new download done and uploaded…

This month’s big D&D release from WotC is the Player’s Handbook 2! The 3rd Edition book was a big hit, expanding player’s options and giving them scores of ideas for tweaking and upgrading their characters.

Also out are the new Player’s Handbook Power Cards. Each and every class power appearing in the Player’s Handbook has its own card. Simply select the cards for your character’s powers and you’re ready to play. Click “Continue Reading” for a full list of decks available.

February has two cool releases. The first is Dungeon Delve, a pack of ready-made short dungeon adventures (or delves) for people that want to go right away with little-to-no-prep time. Sounds like a cool idea. The second is Caves of Carnage, another miniatures terrain pack from Wizards of the Coast. It’s cool, you like paying for your terrain. I mean, it’s not my bag, but I hear some people do that sort of thing. From time to time.

Start the new year off with the latest Dungeons and Dragons toys. This month features a D&D book on a topic I love as DM: The Undead. Wizards of the Coast is releasing their first all-undead book for 4th Edition titled Open Grave. It’s due out on January 20th, but preorders are open now on Amazon.
