I am one lucky geek girl. Yesterday, the FedEx man dropped off a box and inside that box was a copy of the Eberron Player’s Guide. That’s right, I’ve got a book that isn’t even released yet. But I don’t want to be selfish and keep stuff all to myself… so I’m going to give [...]
OMG! Eberron Player’s Guide Spoilers!
9 Jun By 5 Comments
I have loved Eberron ever since my first real D&D campaign playing Mar’Kessa and writing Diary of a Drow. It’s just a really neat world, what can I say? So when the wonderful folks at Wizards of the Coast asked if I wanted to help distribute a little bit of spoiler material, I jumped on [...]
Excuse Me, Miss. Didn’t I See You In The Monster Manual 2?
8 Jun By 6 Comments
You’ve read the serious reviews of the Monster Manual 2. They’re written by people who know crunch and history and all that stuff. Me, I’m in D&D for the fun. Crunch is math and math’s not fun. (Sorry, math geeks.) My Monster Manual post was entitled “Are Your IM Buddies in the Monster Manual?” For [...]

1 Jun By 3 Comments
Imagine you’re watching a man while a punishment is handed down to him. When his sentence is delivered, he begins to scream and cry uncontrollably. “Oh, no, sir,” he sobs. “Anything but that!” A door opens, a tentacle shoots out, wraps around his leg, and drags him in. Screams fill the air, both from the [...]
