Mystic Eye has a new D&D creature for all of you still chomping at the bit for Nightmares & Dreams. This time, it’s the Dream Elemental, a sweet and loving creature that wants to cuddle (Yeah, right). They’ve also posted additional web enhancements for The Pit of Loch-Durnan, including detailed

But there is some gaming news today – Wingnut Games sends us the following: “The RPGA has approved and officially sanctioned the first Battle Cattle live action scenario. “Let Loose the Sheep of War” (by Don Bingle and Tom Prusa) will be available for all RPGA-related conventions, but will be

Just a note to say that the reason posts have been so sporadic over the past week is that we’ve been working on yet another cool thing, in addition to the cool thing I mentioned last week. That’s just how much cool is headed your way. So assume the position

Skotos.net has scored another victory by becoming the new home of Biting the Hand. Jessica Mulligan’s Biting the Hand column, formerly found at Happy Puppy, was created to discuss and dissect the online gaming industry. According to Mulligan, when she first started the column “The hype and disinformation surrounding online

Tyranny Games and Precedence Studios announced the existence of basic Trainer sets for their upcoming tabletop wargame, Sack Armies: Expeditionary Force. You can find the Trainer set on sackarmies.com and Precedence’s site as a .pdf file. Learn the game before it’s released! Be the envy of your friends! Umm… have

Okay, so this isn’t gaming related. In fact, I remain convinced that a direct translation of The X-Files into an RPG wouldn’t work very well. However, as a long-time fan of the show, and a fan of decent spin-offs like The Lone Gunmen, I must say I completely disagree with

Though there aren’t any official Land of Og miniatures (yet), Wingnut Games has come up with a short list of officially sanctioned Reaper minis that can satisfy your club-swinging needs. Here’s the lowdown, from Aldo Ghiozzi himself: OK, so these caveman minis are not officially “licensed” or look as silly

Gary Chalk, the illustrator of the first eight Lone Wolf gamebooks, has at last been contacted by Project Aon, the online republishers of the classic series. To everyone’s joy, he has given permission for his artwork to be included in the online reprints! Although the exact date on which his

Several new maps have gone up at Glorantha.com, including the Colymar territory, Slontos, and the Shadow Plateau. There’s also a detailed guide on traveling through the Harda Pass. I love this stuff.

Fiery Dragon Productions has just become the second company to have its D20 products distributed under White Wolf’s Sword & Sorcery imprint. The first Fiery Dragon adventure that will bear the S&S logo, Nature’s Fury, will arrive in August. Boy, White Wolf’s sure building up steam with their D20 projects.

Apparently I have to post something to get Blogger to behave. So I’ll just tease you with the knowledge that we at OgreCave are soon beginning development on something so cool that it will make your eyes pop out and roll under the entertainment center, where you won’t be able

ICv2 reports that a company called United Playtest will be publishing a magazine of D20-related reviews and materials, probably called Gaming Frontier, starting in December, with a preview available at Gen Con. This is, of course, in addition to Corsair’s recently announced Campaign magazine. What I like best in this

To steel us against the dread creatures about to be unleashed in Legions of Hell, Green Ronin has posted a three page preview of the infernal beasts we can expect. Forewarned is forearmed, my friends. Best to arm yourselves against the coming of Hell in Freeport.

As a proponent of good role-playing games, I try not to discriminate against computer RPGs. After all, tabletop RPGs are rapidly coming to rely on having a PC nearby. A few computer games are even starting to learn that having character advancement, monsters and treasure doesn’t automatically mean a role

Now that my daughter’s 2nd birthday went without a hitch, I’ll get back to business. Let’s see… As we reported last week, Necromancer Games will be working with Rob Kuntz, co-founder of Dungeons & Dragons, on several upcoming projects. To give us an idea of things to come, a new
