Monster Maker 2.3

I’ve just updated my Monster Maker to version 2.3. This is a pretty big update.
It now incorporates the functionality of my 4e Monster Math Cruncher so that you can automatically generate the base numbers, saving you a bit of time and hassle. I’ve also fixed a bug where auras appeared to be deleted, but weren’t.

Life’s Still a Bitch, You Still Die

Please bear with me, I promise this is the last time I’ll post something like this until after things work themselves out…
So, things are a bit crazy. Mostly crazy good, a little crazy bad, but just overall crazy. Time is in short supply, and things I need to do aren’t.
So updates are going to be [...]

Life’s a bitch, then you die

Just a quick update to let you know that today’s post (Friday’s) will be late… Probably won’t be up til Monday, in fact. Procrastinated yesterday, figuring I’d have time to write it today, and then several different things all came up today. And of course tomorrow I’m running D&D, which will probably take up my [...]

Random Encounters: Seventeen

So something funny happened…
My post on blood elves was picked up by www.worldofwarcraft-news.com! Yes, www.worldofwarcraft-news.com!
Actually, the “-news” was a little annoying, because for a few moments when I looked at that link my eyes refused to recognize it, and I actually thought that not only did someone at Blizzard read my blog, they’d linked to [...]

Random Encounters: Sixteen

Pfhoenix has made a couple 4th edition programs, an initiative tracker and a character sheet which includes text for all the powers!
So I broke my week off and posted on Friday. What’s your opinion on basically requiring a PDF download to see the content? It’s been annoying having to hop through various hoops and give [...]

Gone’ Fishin’

I’m going to be taking this week off while I decide what to do with this blog…
I really, really enjoyed making monsters for Ravnica, and I’m considering altering the focus of this blog to 4th edition so that I can continue doing fun stuff like that. Maybe even put out my own monster manual of [...]

Random Encounters: Fifteen

Over on the WotC forums, there was a contest to open a campaign. It’s fourth edition-centric, of course, being on the WotC forums, but there’s a lot of good ideas there which can easily be snagged for any system.
Also, I’ve made the promised compilation of the monsters from the Steal This Setting: Ravnica series. Let [...]

Random Encounters: Fourteen

I’ve just released version 2.0 of my Monster Maker. There’s been some bug fixes and changes made (I’d missed, for example, the option to give monsters regeneration), as well as a brand new UI that should be a bit more organized and easier to work with.

Now, regarding Dynamic Domains. [...]

No post for today

Sorry, no post for today.
In the mean time, may I suggest Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, a new musical by Joss Whedon starring Neil Patrick Harris? It’s free to watch until, I think, the 20th. The first 2 acts are about 13 minutes a piece, and the third and final act is being post tomorrow (Saturday).
It’s [...]

Random Encounters: Thirteen

Some links courtesy of Wikipedia.
A damn-near comprehensive list of legendary creatures, sorted alphabetically. Best thing about this list, in my mind, is the brief description given for each of them. You don’t even need to click the link to get a preview of what an unfamiliar monster is!
Of course, such a gargantuan list can be [...]
