The Tome Ep 70: Game Night
Wednesday Jul 09, 2008
Wednesday Jul 09, 2008
Game Night is a comedy gaming novel. Not technically a D&D novel, but the inspiration is there and so it was that Gabe Gregoire and myself give you our two cents on it.
Don't forget to check out the Tome's Summer 2008 Contest page at the website and if you want to let me know where to go with the Origins content head over to the forums.
Promo this time was for RPG Podcasts.

That's right. Just to give you a sneak peek to what I did at Origins here's me rambling on about various things along my trip to the convention interspersed with footage of the people I met and talked to along the way. Don't expect video to become a regular occurrence, but for special events like this, I don't mind putting something together. Hope you enjoy!

The 4th Edition Dungeon Master's Guide and Monster Manual are 2/3rds of the core books for 4th edition Dungeons and Dragons. In this episode William Pall and Jeff Greiner take an in depth look at what we like and what we question about these two books focused on making the job of being a DM easier.

Friday Jun 20, 2008
Friday Jun 20, 2008
Swordmage is the first D&D novel based in the new 4th edition system. Not only does Gabe Gregoire and myself review the novel but we also chatted with the author, Richard Baker.
You can find Richard's Blog here.
Dungeons and Dragons is here.
You can buy the book here:
And of course the Candlekeep forums, the place to be if you're looking at the Forgotten Reams (and here is the Tome Forums where we also discuss these things).
Naturally you should check out the Basics of the Game.
And as usual be sure to stop by Fist Full of Comics and Games as well as Gamer's Haven (if nothing else swing by the Actual Play section to hear the rest of the Shadowfell recording).

The Tome Ep 64: Shadowfell AP 2
Thursday Jun 19, 2008
Thursday Jun 19, 2008
The feedback was very positive from the last Actual Play episode. So here is part two. From here on out, however, if you want the rest of this I think it's easiest to just head over to the Gamer's Haven AP page where you can enjoy all that they have to offer.
More 4e stuff coming soon so we can get back to what will become the regular format of the show now that the 4th edition of Dungeons and Dragons has launched!
