Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition GSL and SRD Released

WotC has released the Game System License and System Reference Document for D&D 4E.  The documents (and any future revisions) can be found (and downloaded) in the Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition Game System License website.

Here’s a “layman’s version” from ENWorld.  There’s also an “unofficial GSL FAQ” in ENWorld, but it’s tough to link to [...]

Nomad Gaming Log 2008.06/12

Happy Independence Day, Philippines!

To slowly ease out on the D&D wagon, today’s collection are geek and gaming related.

Somewhat Recent Gaming News

Magic: The Gathering Duel Decks for November – Unlike the new MtG Theme Decks, this one will be complete 60 card decks.  Probably like the Elves vs Goblins thing they released a while back.
Alpha Point: [...]

First Annual Descent: Journeys in the Dark Figure Painting Contest

Fantasy Flight Games is launching an annual figure painting contest for their game Descent: Journeys in the Dark. Every year, FFG will select a figure from the game as the subject for the contest. Contestants should then paint the said figure, take pictures, then email the pics to FFG.

For this year’s contest, they [...]

What D&D Character Are You?

Still on the Dungeons and Dragons 4E wagon, here’s a test to determine your D&D race, alignment, and class.

I ended up being a …

Chaotic Good Human Fighter!

You can see the breakdown below. A bit surprising that my Fighter side beat out my Monk side (it’s probably my role-play/gaming vs actual personality), but [...]

Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition Out Last Saturday

Well at least it was Saturday in the Philippines, since 2008.06/06 in the US was a Friday. Although I’ve role-played with some friends as a wee-wee-child, I’ve never really role-played D&D. It’s still of great interest to me as a pillar of RPG design, so any evolution it will take will always be of [...]

Wargame with Brick Constructs thru BrikWars!

Want to wargame? Can’t, paint/afford figs if your life depended on it? Have piles of LEGO collecting dust in a bucket somewhere?

Despair not my acrylically challenged, financially downtrodden friend! If you can rummage through your attic and find the thousands of LEGO bricks you failed to swallow in your youth, then there is still hope [...]

Gary Gygax: Father of RPGs (1938 – 2008)

Ernest Gary Gygax , co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons (D&D), passed away last March 4, 2008 at his home in Wisconsin.

I never really got to play the old vanilla D&D that was published under Tactical Studies Rules, Inc. or TSR (the religious zealots insited TSR was an acronym for “To Satan’s Realm”). I did get [...]

Illidan Moves 3″, Gets +2 for Backstab

If you’ve ever wanted to fill your desk with an army of Archers and Huntresses led by Illidan you’ll soon get your chance! ICv2 reports that Upper Deck will be releasing a new World of Warcraft game, and they’re minitatures!

Apparently, this is under the vein of a collectible mini game, with boosters and all. [...]

Stuck on Bones with Nightwretches

With all my fascination with Warmachine, I told myself “Hey, stop readin’ n’ start paintin’!” So, last Saturday, I finally kicked myself into getting something to start with.

I went to Fortress in VMall, Greenhills with plans on getting Iron Lich Asphyxious and a Skarlock. Both were out of stock (hopefully they’ll restock in [...]
