As I attempt to encourage people to boycott the products of Wizards of the Coast, I feel the need to offer alternatives. Those of you who play pencil and paper rpg’s know the value of a good map. There are a number of sources for good miniature scale maps, but none of them has the breadth of product that Skeleton Key Games has. www.skeletonkeygames.com offers miniatures scale maps for fantasy, sci-fi, and superhero games in a mind-boggling variety. Try them out.
In a previous post I complained about the new 4th edition of Dungeons and Dragons. I don’t like it at all. I think it changes the rules to the point that it should not be called D&D anymore but something else. Even more importantly, it makes it difficult to create any world but one which looks just like those that Hasbro dishes up for you. The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game however is based on the d20 3.5 system. The rules have been cleaned up and corrected and the whole thing is presented in a single volume. Right now you can download the beta edition for free.
