Ant Dungeons!
From the “you gotta watch this” files. Here’s what you get when scientists fill an ant’s colony with cement. Pure. Dungeon layout. Gold. The wow factor starts about half-way through.

I’m so going to put Giant Ants into my next adventure!
Found via Dark Roasted Blend. Which is, btw, a most awesome site.
Coming up: another Villain du Jour and a D&D review from an alternate universe. No, really.

From campaigns past: The County Men

Our long-running superhero campaign has trod a long and twisting path. The whole campaign began in a faux-Marvel Universe where the events of the Secret Wars took place, but the heroes (and villains) never returned, leaving a void that our superheroes came to fill. Oh, and when I say long-running, I mean long-running. This campaign

D&D has, in its time, visited many places and had many settings. We’ve had D&D in space (Spelljammer), set in desert lands (twice – Dark Sun and Al-Qadim), the Far East (Oriental Adventures) and on the plains of the horse clans (The Horde – remember that?). We’ve had D&D in Wonderland, in a city lodged

My rpg time has suddenly become a barren wasteland, and that’s a Bad Thing especially given we’re only three sessions away from the end of the world in our Endday Campaign. Here’s hoping that things pick up when normality returns after the school holidays. The Good Thing though is it gives me time to think
Race, Class, Role, Build, Background and Theme

One of the biggest innovations (or perhaps that should be re-innovations, as some of these elements were also present in previous editions) in Fourth Edition D&D has been the broadening of character generation. Your character is no longer a simple Race/Class combo (though he can be just that, if you want him to be) but
Stat the A-Team!

Here’s a quick question to throw into the shallow duckpond that is the internet: what Race/Class combos would best represent the A-Team, were they transplanted into the realms of Dungeons & Dragons? To my mind, this dysfunctional band of merry pyromaniacs (who always seem to get the job done) are the archetypal adventuring party. They

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt, Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt. It lies behind stars and under hills, And empty holes it fills. It comes first and follows after, Ends life, kills laughter. – “Riddles in the Dark”, JRR Tolkien The answer, as any fan of The Hobbit will tell you, is “Dark”.
Lazy building Icon City

There’s a fine art to being a LazyGM. It takes hard work & dedication – and throws them out the window. The true LazyGM instead uses that most limitless and potent of resources: the players. Our ICONS beer ‘n’ pretzels game has reached a point where it needs a place to call home. It needs

I’m basking in the glow of All Those GenCon posts; you folks are doing sterling work keeping we mere mortals StuckAtHomeCon in the gamer convention loop and I thank & salute you for that. It’s like being there, only without the crush and better hygiene. While y’all saturate the blogosphere (and I mean that in

And I did my thesis on bee navigation, my wife did her thesis on desert ant navigation, the entire department was filled with people interested in state building insects. And yet I have never seen anything like that.

While I’ve heard this was possible to do (pour concrete or plaster down an ant hole), I’ve never seen it done or illustrated. Absolutely amazing video…
On another note, shortly after the dig began, a spare camcorder left lying about caught some interesting footage. The snippet was only about thirty seconds long, but it shows a small black ant leaving the area carrying two tiny scimitars.

You know, for someone who came just to read your excellent DAZ Studio tutorials, it’s odd that they’re placed so far apart with no quick and easy way to search for them.

You make a good point. I really ought to make it more obvious how to view them all together. I’ll add a clearer link in the sidebar.
