If you've missed the pledging deadline, go to to get on the email list which will announce when the dice (and cards, font, pdf, etc.) will be generally available and can be ordered online. Note that the dice & card production timeframe is late summer, but it is possible the electronic items will be ready earlier. Kickstarter pledgees will get their rewards before the products are generally available. DungeonMorph Dice will remind many long-time gamers of the classic dungeon geomorph booklets of dungeon maps. (Note: now that the original goal and two stretch goals have been met, the project description has been updated to mention the two extra sets.) DungeonMorph Dice are available as 3 different sets of 5 dice each with a different design on each side of each die. (90 designs in all.) Specifications: Three different sets of 5 dice each, with a different design on each side of each die. (90 geomorph designs.) Other Notes:

Minisocles-store The Finer Points of Teaching Rules The board gaming hobby brings child-like fun to adults. This grade of fun exists at the core of board gaming and cannot be found in most other adult hobbies. Having tapped this "premium" fun is what keeps board gamers longing for gaming opportunities and eager to experience new games. Yet despite the fun present at most tables where games are being played, some board gamers lack one skill essential to assuring that every game experience is as fun and enjoyable as it could be. That skill is teaching the rules. We've all played new games. Let me tell you about an experience I had. At a game meeting about a year and a half ago, I was taught Tigris & Euphrates by a gentleman I'll call Frank. When Frank had suggested Tigris & Euphrates that day, I was glad to be able to learn it since I had a shrink-wrapped copy in my closet. That whole anecdote makes one solid point. If your approach for explaining the rules has proven effective, I applaud you. It All Starts Before You Teach While Playing

Don’t Call It A Comeback: GameCamp 2010 By Kieron Gillen on May 10th, 2010 at 7:47 pm. This is the second Gamecamp. Organised by awesome people, hosted by PayPal/Gumtree/eBay with food from Pizza Express and booze from Unity, it works on the unconference model. In short: a conference without a plan. People turn up. Anyone who wants to try and run a session, can do so. By the end of the day, the board looked like this: I am sad to report no-one managed to win tic-tac-toe. The day was a success, generally speaking. The style counts for a lot though. I started with the PC Is Dead Long Live The PC session, because if I didn’t, I suspect I’d be drummed out of this website. Second, I was lured to the Cannon Fodder and somethingunreadableonthisphoto session, despite the offer of tasty prizes in the Power Game one. The last session before lunch was Margaret Robertson’s – and I’ll see if I can get this one right – “I am curious to see if you are as curious as I am about how curiosity works in games”. Then we had lunch. And rest.

Fair Play Games The Opinionated Gamers Gaming with Kids: From D&D to Fiasco | Gaming Brouhaha It’s official, 4E D&D is a dead at the after-school gaming club. At the moment the students are really grooving on playing Fiasco – we’ve played three weeks in a row and I’ve had new kids showing up wanting to play, or just watch, based on word of mouth. That’s really odd (and cool) to me since having run the club for the past eight years that’s not something I’ve experienced. Unlike the D&D games I’ve run (including both AD&D and 4th edition), the kids are fully engaged, attentive, and actively participating. It’s really enjoyable to watch, and more importantly, to play. Originally I didn’t think the improvisational style of these types of games would work well because they require active listening and creativity in real time, something many adults don’t handle well, let alone teenagers.
