Nomad D&D Log, 2008.08/15
I originally posted these last Wednesday, but my connection must’ve screwed-up and I didn’t have time to to check that the post was a dud.
So, I’m re-posting it now, with some additional stuff.
D&D News
- GSL, SRD, Stealth, New Rituals, and DRAGON Editorials - oh my! - Aside from the announcement on the GSL/SRD, There are a bunch of D&D related stuff going on as well. Jonathan from The Core Mechanic mentions some of these. The one I would like to give special note is…
- Ritually Speaking - This is an article by Peter Schaefer for Dragon Magazine #366. Basically, it’s a downloadable (for now) list of 33 additional 4E rituals. As The Core Mechanic’s Jonathan pointed out, “considering the PHB only contained 49 Rituals, this is a 67% increase in the total number of rituals in the game. So, grab this quick before they make you pay for it.“
D&D Opinion
- Why People Hate Fourth Edition: “I think I’ve worked it out. D&D4 is New Star Wars.” - This is actually a very insightful analogy.
- 4e “In The Trenches” - From the source: “As most of the initial hype vs furor wars have settled down there’s some good “what 4e is” information starting to emerge out there. Ones I’ve found the most helpful are…”
- 0 and 1, or The Problem With RPG Combat - Hmmm, I never considered this that way. His point is a good one to remember regardless of the game you’re trying to design.
- A Noobian Guide to 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons - A great piece. Given that I’m a noob myself, the perspective reflects my own more closely.
