What dice are needed for D&D?
Many people new to D&D have questions about what dice are needed for D&D. To play Dungeons & Dragons, you will need a D&D Dice otherwise known as a 7-Dice Set. In fact, the 7-dice set is the standard because of D&D. Here are the dice that make up the 7-dice set: The d4 Die The d4, the dice that resembles a pyramid, is used in several spells found in Dungeons and Dragons. It is also used as the hit die when your character is wielding smaller weapons like clubs and daggers. As an example, if you make an attack with a dagger...
Home: the Secret to Better D&D Campaigns
At a high level, many D&D campaigns tend to take after the Lord of the Rings, or the Dragonlance Chronicles, or countless other high fantasy sagas. They are at their heart a fellowship of travelers and heroes, wandering the land fighting a great evil, or righting many smaller wrongs. The characters in these games usually have some kind of back story about where they came from, and perhaps they even have a theoretical family at some nameless village or forest. But the group really has no home: they are just wanderers. From city to city, from dungeon to necropolis, they...

Last week I reminisced about the FFG April Fool’s product, Romance and Relationships. At the time I bemoaned the failure of the internet in finding the actual fake book cover that the graphic designer whipped up.

During the height of the d20 explosion FFG was making the Legends & Lore series of d20 books and one of our April Fools announcements that year was a new upcoming title, “Romance & Relationships.” The graphic designer even put together a lovely fake cover — all in pink, of course. Alas the interwebs have failed me and I can find no record of that cover art, but I did find this lovely review [dead link removed] someone...
20th Level Sucks: a 3.0 Adventure Failure Story
Recently I was talking with someone about how my recent first level characters suck and about my problems with high level D&D games. I promised him I’d post a follow-up about why I hated very high level D&D games so much, so here it is! Once Upon a Time in 3.0… I was working at FFG when D&D 3.0 hit and FFG hopped on the bandwagon to make some quick bucks off the unstoppable d20 money train. After dipping their toes in the water with some adventures, FFG leapt in with both feet, publishing a line of hardcover books and eventually getting...
