D&D

• A D&D game I ran included the following 2 sub-campaigns:
  • Shackled City

• I've done a lot of work with the d20 treasure system including writing a shockingly complete tool (mktreasure) for generating treasure hordes automatically.
• Read over my theories and thoughts on alternate dice rolling for the d20 system
• I'll be publishing some thoughts and information about 4th edition Dungeons & Dragons over the coming week.
• I have developed an expanded d20 creature identification system for D&D that other DMs might find interesting.
• Peruse the Greyhawk cosmology.
• Look at the results of my d20 weapon comparisons.
