D&D Deathmatch Fun and Games
Last week, I enjoyed a pleasant day in the company of the East Midlands RPG Group at their annual Deathmatch tournament. Using 4e D&D rules, players spawned into an arena and kicked the blazes out of each other against the clock. There were two games, an individual game and a team game. I took part [...]

Running Back-to-Back D&D Sessions
After 25 years GMing, I had a new experience on Saturday. Running the same scenario in two back-to-back sessions only 20 minutes apart. It proved a very useful play-testing experience.

How much has the 4th Edition grown over the past year? Following last year’s investigation into the size of each edition of D&D, the big question for this year’s updated graph is how fast is 4e’s rule base expanding? Is it likely to remain at a manageable size or will it become as bloated and [...]
Poll: The Lifespan of D&D 4e
Last year, I produced a graph showing the relative size of each edition of D&D from 1974 onwards. This included all the published and announced books for 4e but only six months from its launch, the data for 4e was limited. Now I’m updating it to give a fuller picture of 4th Edition and I [...]
