About this blog

About Elfgame: It's a pretty low-fi blog about D&D where I post whatever D&D-related ideas occur to me. I don't worry too much about editions, because I think that D&D is a language. Really, it's the ur-language of roleplaying games. Because if I say "eighth level fighter" or "plus one longsword" or "troll chieftain who can deal double damage with his girdle of giant strenght", you know what the hell I'm talking about! All gamers do. D&D is the ur-language of RPG's. It may have some regional dialects and it may not be the best RPG there is, but if you game - you speak D&D. This blog is about D&D.

Lovecraft was right

"That is not dead, which may eternal lie. And with strange aeons, even death may die."

AD&D, more precisely the DUNGEON MASTERS GUIDE, the PLAYERS HANDBOOK, and the MONSTER MANUAL are coming back this summer. Well, reprinted is more like it. With new covers, but otherwise as precise reproductions of the originals.

I'm guessing that this nostalgic move by WotC is really them testing the waters for 5E, which will allegedly be the One True Edition To Unite The Squabbling Tribes Of Gygax. We'll see; that's a tall order for any RPG to fill. But bonus points for ambition.

Though I'm personally hoping that this will lead WotC to release their old stuff, if only in PDF form (though a POD option would be cool). Considering how popular the old editions still are, it seems to me that they're sitting on a goldmine.

Flying invisible hasted rust monsters!

That's pretty badass. Are they super-rust monsters with extra magical powers, or did someone - or something put those spells on them? Why? Where would one encounter such a metal munching menagerie?
