Splug versus Meepo: The Results!
Last night I posted up an innocent question on Twitter: Splug versus Meepo. Who would win?
This is, after all, the battle we all want to see. Forget wars between gods. Forget good versus evil or angels against demons. The one we want to see is the battle between the iconic posterboys of Third and Fourth Edition D&D. Would Meepo’s plucky bravery win out against Splug’s tricks? Can a Kobold pwn a Goblin? Can the dragon-keeper of The Sunless Citadel beat The Keep on Shadowfell‘s resident practical joker?
There was only one way to find out. Vote!
And vote, you did. Even @Wizard_DnD joined in, though wisely stayed neutral. It’s dangerous to offend either Kobolds or Goblins, after all.
In the end, votes were tallied and blood was spilled. The noise of battle cleared and the winner was……….
Meepo!
It was a close-fought thing to the end, though the Kobold was the last one standing. After the fight, perhaps they’d get together, unite and (in the words of @deadorcs):
I think they’d form an unholy alliance, building a society unmatched for the ages.

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”.

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

Man, this got me thinking. Need to build a mid to high level Heroic encounter that sets these two up as local warlords. That might have some potential.
