Well fellow DM's it's here it's finally here, for some of us. Others are going to have to wait another two weeks. But if you are like me and now have the DM screen in your hands the wait is over. I know it is only a DM screen. But in so many ways it… Continue reading 5E D&D Dungeon Masters Screen!
Ill just give this a quick reblog as I am in the act of sitting down and about to do a quick mini review of the DM screen that I picked up last night . Just seems like a nice fit for today !
It’s finally here….
First of all:
Wizard’s original plan was to release the Players Handbook in August, the Monster Manual in September, an adventure module in October, and the Dungeon Master’s Guide in November. They delayed the DMG’s release until December for reasons that were never exactly explained (but I think I can explain later on), but made good use of the delay by using the promise of previews to raise money for charity, with some quite dramatic success. Then when the new release came around, Wizards of the Coast failed to print enough.
Two other core rulebooks saw international release that was perfectly timed, and yet somehow completing the set proved too difficult?
Regulars of Dungeons & Dragons products, you may already have the same mantra as I have, “Love D&D, hate Wizard’s of the Coast.” Perhaps it’d be more accurate to focus that dislike onto Hasbro (the parent…

Beep Boop Beep ! Oh my ! I really have been happy to see that X-wing has had staying power in the minis game realm. I had feared that it would slip quietly into the night. But it is strong as ever. Now if I can only get some time to play it more often !
Since we’re celebrating the release of Marvel’s Star Wars comic this week here at Outright Geekery. With the building excitement for Episode VII, there’s quite a bit to still get excited over between now and this December. This is something that I’m excited to see soon:
Back in August of last year, Fantasy Flight Games announced Wave 6 for the Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures Game, calling it Scum and Villainy. In this wave, the players are given the opportunity to abandon the Rebel Alliance or the Empire to play purely as the criminal organizations, pirates and bounty hunters which inhabit the Star Wars Universe, in this third new faction. This faction has its own ships and upgrades, opening up new builds, styles of play and game tactics.

Good blog write up about Apocalypse Punk and some of the variants of the setting that could be great fun at the table. I have recently been thinking back to some of the games I have run over the years and wonder if Rifts could be tweaked and make a great setting for a game like this.
New setting wise there are plenty of options for running games in this style. The Cypher system is just begging to be run like this. FATE would be an easy choice as well. Savage worlds Interface Zero 2.0 would put tons of tools in your hands for a game like this.
Just a few thoughts.
Let the record show that I am not entirely happy with last week’s DMing 101, a rewrite is in order. For now though I continue with the genre’s series with a particular favourite of mine:
