Hey, it's time for another Patron's Pick on our next Saturday night Book of War show! If you've had an idea for a clever combination of D&D units, here's your opportunity to make the call about what Dan and/or Isabelle play with in the next game. Here's how:
- Pick a valid 300-point army from the current playtest list on Dan's blog here: 2021-05-19 00:18:09 +0000 UTC View Post
We're finding these blog-topic polls extremely helpful, so thanks for your feedback so far! (e.g., the recent one on "Rumor and Information" in OD&D got a lot of positive comments). Here's the new one for April. Which of these topics would you most like to see on Dan's blog next?

Hey, if you haven't seen it already, I have the article in response to the Patron's Pick in March up on my (Dan here) blog this week. In this case: How I use the Rumors, Information, and Legends rule from OD&D Vol-3 (the DM's booklet).
A bunch of readers there and on Twitter have made really nice compliments about it, so thanks everyone for voting -- you're upping my game every time...
The continuing story of a blogger with a back-catalog of topics too deep to choose from. I've got the pick from last month (Running Mass Fights in D&D) queued up for posting on Monday Mar-8. In the meantime, here's the options I'm eyeballing next. Which would you most like to see?

Here's the details -- Get on our Discord server in the book-of-war channel. Pick out a 300-point army using the Season 2 playtest unit list, as seen on Dan...
We did this once at the end of last year: I go to my giant backlog of potential topics for the blog at Delta's D&D Hotspot (http://deltasdnd.blogspot.com/), roll some Euclidean dice, and let you decide what I write about next. The last time even non-patrons were excited at the topic (all the OD&D combat modifiers),...

Hey everyone, Episode 5 of The Big Bad is scheduled to go live this Tuesday, November 17th, at 8 PM Eastern!
Episode 5 features the members of Web DM, including Jim Davis, Jonathan Pruitt, Emma Lambert, and Rudy Basso. They bring a very unusual team of characters to the table, with surprisingly no arcane casters of any sort. Will this be their undoing, or a very clever strategy? Come watc...

Here's an experiment exclusive for our patrons in October: Even though I've been writing at my blog (http://deltasdnd.blogspot.com) for over 13 years now, I still have an index of over 100 ideas for posts that I haven't gotten around to yet.

2019-12-02 15:07:43 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, thanks so much for visiting our Patreon. Creating our weekly show, and making it available on a variety of channels and formats takes time, and in some cases money. Hosting isn't free! We thought we'd try to defer some of those costs as any good entertainer does - by passing the hat around.
Please consider chucking us a buck or two so we can keep producing ...
