"Games people play, You take it or you leave it."

On the topic of D&D: I really liked this strip from UserFriendly:

"Games people play in the middle of the night."

Something else, while I'm on the topic of D&D: montecook had a bunch of recommendations for some cut-price D&D products, so I bought Castle Whiterock for only $5. I figure that at that price, it'll be worth it even if it merely gives me ideas.

Here's a description of Castle Whiterock:

Castle Whiterock is a complete campaign. This box holds more than 700 pages of material, enough to take new characters to 15th level and fuel a campaign for years. It contains:

• Four books detailing the dungeon’s 15 levels and 14 sub-levels, colored according to level: red book, blue book, green book, and black book. Every map location is fully described with stats included.


• A 56-page gazetteer of the Kingdom of Morrain, including the town of Cillamar.


• A 48-page book of maps.


• A 32-page book of player handouts.


• A poster map showing Cillamar on one side and the final two levels of the dungeon on the reverse.


• Six loose-leaf character sheets of the pregenerated heroes, ready to play out of the box, plus one blank character sheet to copy for later use.


• A 16-page index and glossary.

I guess some of my D&D players had better get used to dungeon-crawls...
