Pregens: Dragon's Rest

I, for some reason, end up making a lot of pregen characters. Maybe it's because I like making characters. Maybe because I like to be helpful and offer to make them for people who need them. Maybe it's because I like being ready in case I need to run a one-shot game or mini campaign. Either way, it's been recommended to me that I share my bounty of pregens for those of you out there. Use them for NPCs, use them for a delve night, make one of them your NPC, or whatever you need them for.

First up on the pregen slate are 6 that I created for my own home game for a story interlude which will affect the main party in (hopefully) big ways. They are all standard builds out of the Character Builder and I've included both a PDF copy as well as the character builder files so you can make adjustments. I've uploaded each character individually, as well as a zip file with all six.

The background for this group of characters is that they're all at a mountain fortress-monastery of Bahamut known locally as Dragon's Rest (which I'm working on writing up for the blog as well). They've all got different and diverse reasons for being there and equally diverse personalities and motivations. You obviously don't have to use Dragon's Rest in your game, it's just there as a unifying factor if you so choose.

Cataloging the collection, part 2

Time to continue posting my RPG book collection. I'm undoubtedly missing a lot and I'll have another post coming at some point, if only to tally up my Shadowrun and Heavy Gear stuff.

Cataloging the collection, part 1

I think there's a tendency for a lot of people who like RPGs, especially people who run a lot of games, to collect tons of books. I know when talking to Sam (aka DM Samuel, one of my fellow podcast hosts) that we collect stuff that we've never been able to play and sometimes even buy things knowing that you never ~will~ play it for one reason or another. So, because of my talks with Sam, as well as @Justified on Twitter and his blog posts over at http://wanderingdamage.wordpress.com/, I'm going to start posting my own collection. It's probably going to be incomplete and I'll have to post it in multiple parts, but it'll be fun anyway. Let's start with D&D4e and go from there. \
