Jeff here! I just wanted to send out a reminder that I am participating in HoNoToGroABeMo again this year. That stands for How Not to Grow A Beard Month. A bunch of geeks from around the internet shave on November 1st and then don’t shave again until December. Then we regularly (daily in my case) post thoughts and pictures of our manly face-manes and ask people to sponsor our beards (because it’s proven that money makes beards grow). All the money goes to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. I’d love it if you’d all check it out and consider sponsoring my beard, even if just for a couple of bucks.

You can visit HoNoToGroABeMo here, and here you can see all of my posts exclusively…and naturally, this link will take you to the page where you can sponsor me!

Thanks for your support, and for helping women everywhere!

Little did I know that when I asked them for a few stat blocks to include in the show notes that they’d send along a document full of lore, tactics, and five new creatures fully stated out and ready to run completely with some completely awesome, totally publish-worthy artwork by Matt’s wife, Roxxy.

I decided to spend a little time turning it into a nice looking PDF, manipulate the artwork a little bit. And give it all to you.

I hope you enjoy this half as much as I did. Please let us know if you run them in your game.

And on a side note, if you need help figuring out how to run aquatic games, don’t just check out Tome ep 177 where we discussed it, but also check out the At-Will site which has a series of articles about running aquatic games.

This month (April) I am calling Skill Challenge Month and towards that goal I am planning a couple of episodes of how to make them work and be awesome. To those ends, I am joined in this episode by Dave Chalker where we are going to build a Skill Challenge from scratch and talk about how to get the most out of a skill challenge as a player.

We examined the new races, new classes, and new features, like psionics, hybrid classes, and skill powers. All in all, we decided that this is the “psionics handbook” with some divine and primal thrown in along the way, especially when it came to classes, but that said, there is some GREAT stuff in this book.
