Somehow a rumor got started that Ted Turner (yes, that Ted Turner) had purchased D&D from WotC. This is not true. The rumor apparently originated in a LARP that got a bit out of control. As one industry insider commented, “Why would he want D&D anyway? WotC already prints in

Makes for an interesting sentence, doesn’t it? Joe has made this little combo possible with his two new d20 reviews, of What’s That Smell from Wicked Press, and Queen of Lies from Fiery Dragon Productions. I could have fun twisting those titles around a bit more… nah, better not. That

So, for those who want a bit more info than what Mike had time to provide (he is typing from an internet café, after all), head over to the official recap of nominees, and then consult the following list of winners. Our congrats to all the nominees, and an extra

Suddenly, everyone’s got monsters. Here, I’ll show you what I mean… Eden Studios‘ d20 monster book, Liber Bestarius: The Book of Beasts, has arrived from the printers a week ahead of schedule and begun shipping. This means the 160-page hardcover will be available at Origins tomorrow, giving us all a

While the WotC contest extension Greg mentioned surprises no one, this caught me slightly off guard: tomorrow, Steve Jackson Games is launching an online d20 magazine. Along the same lines as Pyramid, the weekly online publication, aptly titled d20 Weekly, will be edited by former Dragon Magazine editor Dale Donovan

Nearly lost in the death of my old computer, we now have Matthew’s review of DeProfundis by the RPG visionaries at Hogshead Publishing. Want to know more about the game without risking your own sanity? Matthew’s got you covered, and he only went slightly mad in the process.

Those of you who don’t like to play nice will want to check out Green Ronin‘s art preview of The Assassin’s Handbook. The second in title in GR’s Master Class line claims to present an assassin that’s much closer to the original, first edition version. Penned by Wolfgang Baur (Assassin

Matthew gives us the lowdown on GURPS Traveller Heroes 1: Bounty Hunters by Steve Jackson Games. Does the book manage to bring ’em back alive? Matthew tells all inside.

Details are still sketchy at this point, but ENworld is reporting that Wizards of the Coast has sold off their periodicals department, sending both Dragon Magazine and Dungeon on their merry way. Rumors abound as to who has bought the department, but once something is confirmed, we’ll let you know.

Wizards of the Coast is continuing the countdown to the D20 Modern release in November by launching the D20 Modern section of their website. So far, there’s not much there: the Charismatic Hero class, an introduction to the game, and a look at D20 Modern art. More is sure to

There are occasionally those who leave the Cave to seek greener pastures (don’t know why… plenty of moss in here…). Case in point: Michael Suileabhain-Wilson, who wrote a review for us a while back. Turns out he’s written GURPS Deadlands: Varmints as well, which is currently in playtest by those

I go out of town for a couple of days, and Mike starts laughing maniacally. Hoo-boy. Let’s do a little catch-up, shall we? From listening in to the Mongoose Publishing mailing list, I’ve confirmed suspicions that the September release, The Handbook of Prestige Classes, Volume 1, will contain Mongoose prestige

Green Ronin has just posted a four-page PDF preview for Hammer & Helm. Lurking within, you’ll find eight feats, the Ironbound prestige class, and three priestly domains: Fortitude, Stonehearth, and Sword. There’s some cool artwork as well. Fetch your ale, get your beard combed, and go have a look.

Delayed by my previous computer’s rattling death, resultant email recovery problems, and some OgreCave staff changes, we now have the winner of our “Borrow the Car” Car Wars contest posted for all to see. Naturally, we had so many great entries that we’ve posted quite a few of them for

Even though Green Ronin and Paradigm Concepts have already announced their intertwined product lines under the OGL Interlock banner, they’ve now changed the title of the arrangement to OGL Interlink. “To avoid confusion with aspiring d20 publisher Interlock Games.” Sounds fair, and I’m all for having less confusion.
