Character du Jour:Iron Bat
When young Tony Wayne’s father was gunned down by a faceless crook, he inherited a technological empire worth billions. Unfortunately, he also inherited a congential heart condition and the shock of witnessing the killing put young Tony in hospital for many months. It was during his convalescence that he saw a tiny bat trying to find it’s way out of the window of the ward.
Tony knew how that bat felt; small, trapped and alone.
He swore he would never feel this way again. He would use his fathers’ technology and his own raw intelligence to be something more, much more – a Bat made of Iron!
Dirty little secret: Tony Wayne is an obsessive compulsive alcoholic with a heart condition and a damaged spine. Seriously, he’s screwed.

Sometimes we GMs want our players to suffer. We want their characters to feel the after effects and pain of battle, and seeing them mark off their Healing Surges just doesn’t cut it. This is especially true when the adventure is set in a mega-dungeon or the Underdark where Our Heroes can’t just head back

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”.

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

Whose aerobatic and wing walking family were killed by saboteurs…
Great minds and all that. Though I imagine Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne as business partners… Each one wearing the helmet at different times.
