Stained glass d20

Dungeons and Dragons Camp

Posted by: Dave In: Games

+20 tattoo of gaming

Posted by: Dave In: Design| Games| Humor| Weird

Blogger Z of the Hipster Please blog recently got one of the greatest tattoos ever.  It is a line drawing of the most-hallowed 20-sided die for Dungeons and Dragons (commonly referred to as a “d20″ for those non-nerdy readers out there…if there are any.)
Kudos to you, sir.  Now back to your parents’ basement before the [...]

Leomund’s tiny pot

Posted by: Dave In: Design| Games| Weird

Actually, this has nothing to do with Leomund’s Tiny Hut.
