Well, this is it.

As I sit here at home with the final print copies of Dragon and Dungeon magazines in my hands, it feels to me depressingly like the death of roleplaying games.

“Complete Champion” - A Rust Monster Review

Friday, June 1st, 2007 by Damionte

Rust Monster brings you back to one of our original purposes, reviews of all things geeky; kicking off our series with a player’s review of the latest D&D supplement. Complete Champion.

To put the book in perspective I will begin with the general idea of the book. Taken from it’s official Wizards Of The Coast description.

Quote:

“Complete Champion focuses on the divine champion archetype and provides new rules options for characters that enjoy battling for a cause, defeating foes using divine power, and going on quests that mean more than simply defeating the bad guy and grabbing the treasure. This book also helps Dungeon Masters run quest-themed campaigns and adventures.

Pimp My Archer - Part 3 of 5 - “The Sniper”

Monday, May 7th, 2007 by Damionte

Continuing the 5 part series Damionte presents THE SNIPER !!

Sniper:

The sniper is the ranged assassin. Their focus is putting as much power behind a single shot as possible. Stealth is very important to the sniper as they need to get fairly close to their target in most cases in order to get in that one shot. Rogues make outstanding snipers. As do combination rogue rangers. The order of the bow prestige class from “Complete Warrior” is almost the quintessential sniper. Crossbow archers also make very good snipers. Since a sniper is normally getting just one shot the slower rate of fire of a crossbow is of no concern for them.

A Letter From Margaret Weis

  by Margaret Weis

The Dragonlance RPG License has been a labor of love for me and my staff throughout the term of our agreement with Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro. Our goal in creating Dragonlance game product has always been to give the long-time fan quality material that supports our vision for Dragonlance while attracting a new audience to this epic world. Our agreement has come to term and is not being renewed. We will be releasing new Dragonlance RPG product through the end of this year and then will step back from our association with Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro.
