Reaper website hacked, customer info stolen
As someone who’s getting more and more into miniatures gaming, it scares me a bit to hear what just happened to Reaper Miniatures. A group of hackers has stolen Reaper’s customer information, including credit card numbers used on the site’s online store, and is demanding money to keep from making
Oh yeah, D&D turned 30
We in the Cave were too busy playing it to make much note. The BBC offers the best media coverage we’ve seen. ” ‘I thought we would sell about 50,000 copies,’ says Gary Gygax.” And back then, that was a low number.
Lone Wolf howls with previews
The fellows at Mongoose have posted more teasers for the Lone Wolf RPG. This time, we get a look at the official character sheet, and a second rules preview which includes full rules for the Magician of Dessi, among other things. Now, should I pick Tracking as my next Discipline,
Conan adventure available from Mongoose
Mongoose Publishing has begun the electronic age of Hyborian adventure with the first PDF adventure for Conan the Roleplaying Game. For a mere $8, gamers can download The Black Stones of Kovag-Re, “a boisterous tale of kidnap and intrigue for a party of 1st-3rd level characters.” You can grab a
News flash: computers are bad GMs
Enjoy this excessively vitriolic, unclear and unsound article alleging that paper roleplaying rules systems are a poor foundation for computer RPGs. He might be right, but he reasons like a rabid Shar Pei with one leg staked to the ground. The thought of even beginning to take this essay apart
Gary Gygax suffers stroke, recovering
According to a post by Eric Noah on the forums over at ENWorld, Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, is not in the best of health. Sure, he’s been chain-smoking for years, but that’s not the main problem; the stroke he suffered on April 1st is the problem. Gary
Blackmoor revival finally underway
When I read the press release headline, I was hoping WotC had struck some kind of deal with that biker bar in the Mission District, but alas, no: D&D creator Dave Arneson’s new-ish company has announced a licensing agreement with WotC that will return Arneson’s Blackmoor campaign world to print,
Kubla Khan at Kubla Con
Troll Lord Games will be bringing a special limited edition d20 tournament module to KublaCon at the end of May. Called The Temple of Kubla Khan, the adventure is written by Casey Christofferson, author of several books for Necromancer Games. Here’s the description: An ancient ruined bastion and the forces
GTS Day 2 press wrapup
would be intriguing if it weren’t for the fact that every catalog-like thing that I’ve ever seen Wizards release has contained something that was either misnamed or actually cancelled some time after said catalog went to press. As it is, it’s just funny. Maybe Chop Shop is the boys’ equivalent
Fighting Fantasy on warpath at Myriador
Myriador Ltd. has announced their product schedule for most of this year. Of particular interest is the Fighting Fantasy Role Play Game due in June 2004. The game will use the d20 System, just as the other Fighting Fantasy derived Myriador releases, but remain a “fully contained game.” The company’s
Archfiends miniatures gallery up at Wizards
Though the images have been floating around the web for a couple of weeks already, Wizards of the Coast has put up an official figure gallery for the entire Archfiends Expansion of D&D Miniatures. They’ve also done a close-up preview of some figs from all four alignment factions, most recently
Atlas directs you to Northern Crown
Over at the Atlas Games Dispatch page, Northern Crown: New World Adventures is mentioned. Just as Nyambe took d20 to Africa, Northern Crown will take d20 to colonial North America. An entire campaign setting, Northern Crown is still in early development, but will certainly contain witches, wendigo, and other weirdness
OgreCave review: Slayer’s Guide to Elementals
To start the week off right, Joe’s provided us with his thoughts on The Slayer’s Guide to Elementals by Mongoose Publishing. Did he give a yea or a nay to this d20 book of combative natural resources? Find out for yourself.
D&D Minis go Huge in June
The price increase on Expansion Packs of D&D Miniatures didn’t come to pass, thankfully. At least, not yet. The Archfiends set releasing next month will still carry the MSRP of $9.99 per box, but the price will go up with the Giants of Legends set in June. Perhaps in an
