The Drunken Dwarf Inn

I got that Friday feeling, and for us lucky people in the UK, we have a long weekend to look forward to.
Hopefully going to spend some of my weekend in front of my computer starting to convert Retuirn to the Temple of Elemental Evil to 4th edition, and that in my thinking is going to take some time.
I need to look at the legal standing on that as to whether I can share my notes etc on here, so if we have any legal types that know whether my notes, not the original adventure is acceptable to share or not, get in touch with us.
Across the top menu you might have noticed the syndicated feeds this page will show you some of our favourite RSS feeds, this will be expanding soon, check them out and feel free to make suggestions of feeds we can add to them.

Have a great weekend.

A review of the Players Handbook, as Wizard state it is one of the “core rulebooks”

First thing to note is that I’m not going to review in great extent about the ruleset in this post, thats best left for another day – this is to review the book itself, the quality and to help you decide whether it’s something you want to part with your very hard earned cash for.

Lets open with the pretty obvious question:

Do I really need it?

I’ve spent a bit of cash recently, so I reckon i’ll need some reviews writing.

Like I said previously I’ve been focussing on 4th Edition alot recently so that’s as good a place as any to start reviewing.

In the near future I’m going to be converting Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil to 4th edition too, so I’ll post my notews etc onto the forums, so those of you who have the adventure can get the encounters changes etc (should you want them) obviously I’m not going to post the maps and the text as that’ll be a breach of copyright etc but my work is my work eh!

Anyways short post today but more to come soon.

It’s been far too long, and in all honesty a strange, strange journey.

In 1999 (September to be exact) I started a MSN Live group aimed at bringing like minded individuals together to start talking, playing and generally getting excited about Role playing games, along the way we had a blast, we had highs and lows but mostly we’ve been around to chat to each other. Over the last two years we’ve had a long extended break – I personally lost touch with the great awesome people that helped make the Drunken Dwarf Inn a really great place to visit, and finally after a long PnP RPG break, I’m back.

My RL group have started playing 4th Edition D&D and I’m finding it fresh, new and vibrant – the chance to get around a table and play PnP D&D again has been like a breath of fresh air, the group I used to play with years ago have been “roughly” staying in touch and finally got back to playing – not all of us, but most of us – with a new face or two.

So what to expect, well dont expect miracles – rome certainly wasn’t built in a day, altho it’s rumoured that alot of it was I’m back, so is the Drunken Dwarf Inn.

If you’re a new visitor – add a comment – even if it’s just Hi, please add a comment so I know that people are here, if you’re an old friend then dont go without saying hi either. The new forums will be open soon, I want a fresh start here.

Enjoy you’re stay, and more importantly enjoy our ale.
