Gencon has been and gone, and i’m only just putting up the front page for the Classics Return blog carnival… I’m afraid to say that I failed the D&D community with this one, with a lack of support for the blog carnival, and a lack of effort on my behalf to get the items uploaded …

Blog carnival for old settings with some 4E loving.
The Dogs of War
When I first considered what to write for the Classics Return blog carnival my first idea was to write up themes based on the Planescape Factions, then right as I was about to start the content for this month’s Dragon was announced including an article that would present themes for the Planescape Factions. Not wanting …
Giff Return
The Giff by Richard Green, illustrations by Symatt Of all the fantastic campaign settings published by TSR in the early 90s, Spelljammer is definitely in my top 3 (along with Planescape and Al-Qadim). The concept of the swashbuckling pirate-adventurer standing on the deck of her hammership as it sails through space towards a distant asteroid …

Here at Daily Encounter, we’re hoping that D&D fans of all editions will submit articles to us bringing items, adventures, races, themes, skills and powers that are missing from the previous editions of the game into …
Another Classic?

The Keepers of the Grey Hawk The Keepers of the Grey …
What is the Classics Return Blog Carnival?
So, when we say the Classics Return blog carnival, what do we mean? A blog fest, or blog carnival is a themed series of articles hosted by a prominent blog (we like to think of ourselves as one). It hosts guest articles from community members, and links to articles about the theme written on other …
Announcing the “Classics Return” Blog Carnival
I have a way of dropping myself into the deep end of D&D projects, from the UK D&D Tweetups, to the Island of Dread fan gazetteer i’m working on. What started as an idea for a mage school for lycanthropes evolved into some Ravenloft character options, and from there, the idea for a blog carnival. …
