I thought it would probably be a good idea to get these images off of my camera and on the site before I forget until my next vacation. So, without further ado, here’s the photos that I am sure you have all been dying to see. Okay, a little more ado, you can click on the preview for a larger version of the image.

Yep, that’s right, the wizards’ reliable, never-missing friend is back! Of course, Magic Missile never went away, but it had been seriously nerfed in the Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition rules. I you find this too good to be true, feel free to check the last article in the July issue of Dragon Magazine or the errata PDF for yourself.
Many countries in our world celebrate an Independence Day – in fact, here in the United States, ours is only a few days away – and there is no reason why people in fantasy worlds should not celebrate them as well. Below I outline several ways that Heroic, Paragon, and Epic tier campaigns can benefit from the introduction of this holiday.
I often like to throw in unique NPC’s who are the only member of their race / species. For instance, in a campaign that I was running about 12 or so years ago, I created a half-red dragon half-black dragon hatchling that was going to play a role in the entire campaign. You can download a PDF of the first adventure in the campaign (the only one I actually ran) on the resources page.
How many times have you been in a gaming session and someone pronounces the name of a D&D race, character, or place in a way that makes you think you have been reading different books? I am not talking about cases where the person was trying to be funny, read something incorrectly, or has a regional accent different from yours. Examples of this from my own experience include “homonuclei” instead of “homonculi”, or “salad” instead of “slaad”; yes, I really have heard both of these in gaming sessions. I am talking about cases where you realize that you really have no clue how to pronounce the name.
