Star Wars Posters

Everybody is familiar with  the iconic Star Wars poster - x-wings, light sabres, the Death Star, Luke, Princess Leia, and Darth looming in the background. Below are some movie posters not everyone has seen.

Branton's Tower

This is an update to the Griffithton Village map I posted a while back. The mage (Branton) has been slowly amassing his fortune and spending it to upgrade the original plans to his wizard tower. He has also been steadily gathering the contents for a full lab and library, as well. Since he has apprenticed himself to Crus who's speciality is the Underdark he has also added a secret tunnel entrance to these dark depths. The tunnel is currently collapsed by the dwarves working on the construction of the tower, since he doesn't want any unexpected guests showing up until he can provide the appropriate welcoming committee. Granted he (Branton) is still a couple of levels away from name level where he would be eligible for his own tower, but you have to remember it's still under construction and since the party is ready to start exploring the elemental nodes in the ToEE that day is not so far away. Anyway, below is the updated plan for the (new) Wizard Tower in Griffithton.

Happy 40th D&D

While not exactly the definitive date for the birth of D&D this weekend everyone is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the birth of D&D. What am I doing to celebrate this momentous occasion this weekend, you might ask. Actually I am doing what I do most weekends, getting together with a group of friends/players to play a game of AD&D 1ed. A heartfelt "thank you" to all the pioneers who actually put together the game so many of us have come to enjoy through the years. I can think of no better way to celebrate and honor their memory than to continue to play the game so many of us love. No matter what flavor of D&D you might enjoy, play a game this weekend.
