D&D TTRPG news and articles

Dungeons & Dragons is more than a game; it's a cultural titan and the gateway to fantasy adventure for millions worldwide. At its heart, D&D is a collaborative storytelling experience. Players create unique heroes, from mighty barbarians to wise wizards, and embark on perilous quests in a world brought to life by the Dungeon Master. The rules provide structure, but the real magic comes from the shared imagination of the group. Every roll of the dice and every player decision shapes a unique narrative, making each campaign a truly personal epic forged in creativity and chance.

The game’s enduring appeal lies in its powerful social core. In an age of digital screens, D&D brings people together to cooperate, solve problems, and build legends face to face. This spirit has fuelled its explosive resurgence in pop culture, introducing the magic of tabletop roleplaying games to a new generation. Yet for all its grand legacy, D&D remains wonderfully accessible. All it takes is a set of dice, a few friends, and a spark of imagination to unlock infinite worlds of adventure. It is the ultimate engine for heroic storytelling.

Futurama alignment chart: D&D style

November 2, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 3 Comments

Remember the old D&D alignment chart? Of course you do. In fact, this blogger is willing to bet some gamers who have never played old school Dungeons and Dragons with the old school alignment rules are still very familiar with the concept. Remember Futurama? Ha. I’m glad it made it back for a second attack […]

Dungeons and Dragons 4th ed cheat codes

October 25, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

Many computer games have cheat codes that the knowing can use to great advantage. Cheat codes may grant extra lives, automatically level you up or even make you impossible to kill. Never seen the attraction in them myself unless it was to power back to a place in the game you’d gotten to before some […]

Heroes of Neverwinter launch trailer – is it what you expected?

October 7, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

I really hope Heroes of Neverwinter is a great big D&D success on Facebook. I hope it improves Atari’s fortunes and rescues Wizards from the uncertainty of the future. I think Heroes of Neverwinter will be most successful if it goes mainstream on Facebook – and it could. However, I think Heroes of Neverwinter’s first […]

I want to win the Heroes of Neverwinter flash competition!

September 15, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Much to everyone’s surprise – Heroes of Neverwinter will go into “open beta” tomorrow. Geek Native, like other geeky sites, was running a competition to give away beta access codes. What will we do? Everyone who entered the original competition is a winner! They’ve been sent access codes. It’s still worth being a private beta […]

Song for Ulvaak

August 31, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The song for Ulaavk by Allie Goertz is an original melody and a song for Dungeons and Drgaons. The lyrics are by Patton Oswalt and for a D&D character he played. I think we’ve all had characters that we feel artistic about – I can only imagine how could it would be for someone like […]

Wizards of the Coast and Atari settle legal battle: D&D digital return to WotC

August 15, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

In 2007 Atari signed a 10-year deal to look after the digital rights of Dungeons & Dragons. The goal was to have the computer game company do more of Dungeons & Dragons Online, Neverwinter Nights and other digital successes. It all went wrong in the last few days of 2009 with Wizards of the Coast’s […]

Paizo’s Bestiary 2 beat WotC’s Monster Vault in the Best Monster/Adversary group, Pathfinder: Inner Sea World Guide beat WotC’s Dark Sun Campaign Setting in Best Setting and in fan’s choice for best publisher; Paizo Publishing […]

D&D song: Tonight

August 5, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a rather fetching song. It has charisma. It’s cute. It’s about D&D. Our singer songwriter is an actual D&D player who writes that she’s used the game to detach herself from aspects of real life. I think escapism is a healthy reason to roll the die. I also think this song needs a […]
