DM Resources and House Rules!

I took the time this morning to add some new pages to the blog. At the top, you should see a bar with three links: Blog (this page), DM Resources, and House Rules.

DM Resources contains a brief list of websites, tools, and accessories I've found to be helpful in my gaming experience. I'll be adding things to this list as I come across them, but if there's anything you think I'm leaving out that would be a great addition, please send me an e-mail!

House Rules is a listing of all the various rules additions I have come up with for use in my campaigns. Not all of them are necessary, but they serve to give me additional tools and flexibility to make the game play just as I want it to. I'll be expanding this in the near future, and I plan on writing some posts about the intention and design of the rules that are already on there so stay tuned.

You are in a twisty maze of D&D blogs, all alike...

Welcome to the inaugural post on Half-Damaged, the clever name I came up with for a blog I will occasionally be posting to to collect and share the various bits of wisdom I've accumulated from across the internet about Dungeons & Dragons. I'm currently running a D&D 4th Edition campaign and (despite some minor complaints) generally really like the edition, so the content here is going to focus mostly on DMing a 4e campaign.

Hopefully this blog will contain some real original content at some point (carefully censored for my players benefit, of course!) but for now the main motivation has just been to collect the variety of truly helpful information I've found online over the past year, in the hopes of directing more aspiring DMs to it. Within the next few weeks I will hopefully add some posts on things like House Rules and Skill Challanges, since I have put a lot of thought into those topics that I would love to share and get feedback on.

Everyone roll initiative!
