Short Circuit's Journal: D&D: Resources

It's been a while since I posted, and I don't have my notebook here to post something original. So here's stuff by other people:

3rdedition.org

This is the first online resource I used. They've got a lot of interesting material, covering both the 3.0 and 3.5 editions.

Critical Fumble

One hilarious D&D-oriented webcomic. Click on "archives" and start from the beginning.

If you know of other good humerous D&D webcomics, mention them. :)

Judges Guild

This was a link emailed to me late last week by their webmaster. They've got some very thorough and neat material ranging from AD&D (IOW: 2nd edition) to 3.5. They've recently been resurrected as a web-based publication. Good luck!

Tome of Trouble

I've mentioned Justin's site in my journal sig for a while. He's got a great once-a-week newsletter, but it looks like his archives page isn't working quite right. He puts out loads of useful material every week. Too bad he doesn't have a forums.

Wizards of the Coast's D&D page

Despite it being the official page, there's a lot of useful material there.

Have your own questions and interesting things to mention? Email me and I may post them.
Don't miss other D&D journal discussions.

when I played

[morgajel]

we had a guy who used kazaa to grab every 2nd edition book because he was cheap and refused to pay any money.

We eventually told him he had to have a physical copy of any book he wanted to use.
that slowed him down a bit.

as for links, I recommend 8-bit theatre [nuklearpower.com] it occasionally makes references to DnD stuff. quite amusing.

I heard that WoC offers all of their 2nd edition stuff for free now (I keep meaning to check it out). We are starting up a group soon, and the free 2nd edition is pretty tempting. I think that we're going to go with 3.5 though. Too much cool stuff going on there.

It would still make for a good 3.5 resource as well. You can always take stuff from 2.0 and upgrade it. There's probably already some websites where people have done just that for you (at least to 3.0 anyway. the last bit to 3.5 shouldn't b

[Short Circuit]

The 2nd edition monster manual has a lot of creatures and information that they dropped when they went to 3rd edition. They'd dedicate two full pages to describing a creature, including information such as habits, civilization and social ordering, territorial behavior, etc.

8-Bit Theater

[chrylis]

Nuklear Power has a side-splitting generic-RPG comic based loosely on D&D and the FF1 (US) characters called 8-Bit Theater [nuklearpower.com].

Yeah...I've been crawling through the archives since Tuesday. It's great. :)
