Have a link

June 24, 2008 on 12:59 am | In Links |

I decided it was a good idea to post some links to some things I have seen and found interesting on the past few days. I don’t think I am going to make this a weekly thing like many other sites do, but who knows. Anyways, here are some cool links for you.

DDI
Throughout the marketing campaign used by Wizards of the Coast they have been pushing DDI (Dungeon and Dragons Insider) and said it would be out and available to use when 4th Edition came out. Well, let’s face it. That didn’t happen. However today (well yesterday technically I guess) part of DDI has become available, in a limited fashion at least. The Online Rules Compendium is up. I gave it a quick test drive, but wasn’t impressed, however when more supplements come out and are added I think it will be more useful. Go give it a try by clicking here and then let us all know how it went by leaving a comment about it here

HOT GIRL – Grace Park!
If you are anything like me you are a fan of Battlestar Galactica. Continuing along that path if you are like me you think the actress who plays Boomer/Athena/Skinjob Cylon #8 is really hot. Well we aren’t the only ones. Complex Magazine made her the cover girl and has an interview with her and several of the pictures taken of her on their website, as well as a video. Damn she hot. It brings a whole new use to the term “Frack Me”

What are you cooking for dinner? Why Gnome Stew of course
Gnome Stew is a great RPG blog from the creators of the now defunct Treasure Tables. It has multiple posters which means there are always plenty of articles. Just today they posted an article about using Defensive Rolls for a 3.5 D&D game as well as announced their new forums for GMs called You Meet in a Tavern.

One Line NPC for prizes
Chatty at Musings of a Chatty DM has a contest going on where you come up with an NPC in only one line. There are multiple prizes. SO give it a whirl and win some prizes

It’s Villainous
Yax over at dungeonmastering.com (yes the site run by a Red Dragon) had a great article on Uber-Villans for your D&D campaign. And yesterday’s Sunday quiz is testing your knowledge of the many different versions of D&D from the 1973 Basic D&D all the way through this month release of 4th Edition. So go and see how knowledgeable you are.

Earth, Wind, Fire and Water
An old series of articles from RPG Thoughts, but these articles on using Elementals in your RPG are really good and worth reading. They are called Elemental elementals and Elemental Elementals part 2 - “Burned to the ground”. Good job Maikl
