Player's Handbook Statue

I don't know how many hours I stared at that classic Player's Handbook image, you know the one.

It's a classic, with the two thieves trying to steal the gem eyes out. Otherworld Miniatures has a statue of it that looks like this.

Which looks so good I'm not sure if it's lit up or just painted that way. Either way, it's on the top of my "Gotta Have" list. Of course, Otherworld has loads of other good looking minis for your game too, check out their online store. They are also available from Amazon (links below

The minis are a bit pricey, but the quality of scuplts looks fantastic. They are also British, so there's converting pounds to dollars along with shipping across the pond to the colonies (they talk like that you know, I saw it on television.)



Albert the Owlbear (I don't know if that's his name, I made it up just now.)












Old school kobolds!











Slime, molds, and jellies, oh my!
Rumor has it that the artist who sculpted these went insane. Wouldn't you?













The Shreiker, finally, I have have a mini of one. My life is complete.

D&D Monster Man

The D&D monster man! He can imitate any D&D monster! Check him out.



The Gelatinous Cube is priceless.

Although funny, there's a lot to learn here. I plan to figure out all sorts of embarrassing things I can do to improve game immersion for my next session.

Dieselboy and the Dungeon Master's Guide

In the world of Drum and Bass, Dieselboy is a king. He is a rare American excelling in a field dominated by British talent and manages to not only produce great music, but to innovate.

Resonating with we D&D nerds, Dieselboy (or DSL to his fans) created an album called "The Dungeon Master's Guide" in 2004. Enlisting none other than Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime, to read the narration the album begins with this stirring piece.

"Welcome, to the Dungeon Master's Guide. Withing this reference work lie the keys to a universe bound only by limits of human creativity and imagination. It contains everything necessary to create adventures and sophisticated campaigns that blur the fine line between simulation and reality. The Dungeons Master's Guide is a complete and detailed system that will ready you for the demanding challenges that lay ahead. Listen closely and prepare to unlock the sound of pure drum and bass fantasy. This is the world of Advanced D&D."

It's how I start my weekly game.

Dieselboy, check him out here.

Dark Dungeons, the greatest D&D comic ever?

Many may remember the days when "D&D" was synonymous with "Satan Worshipper." In the tradition of McCarthyism, D&D was blamed for a lot of wrong in the 80s. Let's look now with quaint nostalgia at this fairly hysterical tract from religious comic maker, Jack Chick.



You know, I've been playing this thing for 30 years and I've never been invited to so much as the sacrifice of a goat. Either this Jack Chick guy is a little off, or I should be very offended.

Me to cultist: "I didn't want to participate in your Satanic ritual, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't appreciate an invitation at least. Honestly, have you looked at some of the guys you DID invite?"
