I love this map and I hope you do too because it now belongs to you! That's right, this map is 100% free for your use, a gift from us here at The Labyrinth. All labels have been left off so that you can put your own on and use it in your game.
It is the latest and greatest of our free Monday Maps series, but it won't be the last.
In case any of friends from across the pond are wonder when they will be able to get their hands on A Dance With Dragons, I have some good news. The British release date is the same as it is for the US, that is to say, July 12th of this year. Join us in the countdown!
We've previously made some comparisons here about what D&D was in the past and what it is today by examining the game's television commercials. Well some other sites have been doing some great work at looking at D&D through the ages and they form this week's Saturday Links.
1d8 takes an awesome statistical view of D&D's principal warrior, the Fighter, though the various editions. The article is mainly quantitative and shows some really great analysis. How many more Goblins can a 3rd edition fighter kill than a 1st edition fighter? Click on the link and find out!
What generation D&D player are you? Cyclopeatron does a great job defining six separate generations so you can easily find where you fit in gaming history. I'm fourth generation... Thanks 2nd Edition!
I love the game Call of Cthulhu and am having a blast playing our current campaign, but when I read the story The Call of Cthulhu by HP Lovecraft I was kind of shellshocked. I wasn't very good. In fact, I really thought it was bad.
Hey don't throw things as me!
I've read other Lovecraft stories and enjoyed them (Dunwich Horror, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, etc) but I just didn't like Call of Cthulhu. I may have been a matter of expectations (it was the first Lovecraft story I ever read and I expected to love it) or it could be that it just isn't my cup of tea. Whatever the reason I really wish someone has pointed me to the video below, The Call of Cthulhu in Under 2 Minutes. It does an amazing job of telling the whole tale in, you guessed it, under two minutes and manages to be really funny at the same time.
The tittle says it all... Though many doubted that this day would come, it is finally here. George R. R. Martin himself has confirmed the release date as official. Why is that signifigant? Because people have tried to give this book a release date before and he has always staunchly denied it. Not this time though! GRRM says he isn't completely finished with the book, but what he has left is so small that they have gone ahead with the date and that date is...
July 12th!
Mark your calendars, folks!
George said on his website that the book is, "A Monster" comparable to the size of A Storm of Swords.
Here is a look at the most recent cover design for the book. Whether they are going to go with it or not has yet to be decided.
This is just a reminder that you guys have until tomorrow to send in your origional creations to Labyrinth.Contest@gmail.com to be eligible to win our last Dragon Age Legends beta key. Send in any NPC, story, drawing, map, or whatever you can think of by midnight tomorrow and we'll select the winner after our weekly Call of Cthulhu game. We've got a couple good things in so far, but nothing I'm in love with. So as far as I'm concerned the contest is still wide open.
