French BattleLore Campaign

For you French BattleLore players, way back here we mentioned a very nicely designed French site detailing a BattleLore campaign world. The first part of this campaign is now available on the creator’s forum here.

Gary Gygax, 1938-2008

It’s quite possible that BattleLore wouldn’t exist without the legacy of Dungeons & Dragons, and I’m sure many BattleLore players once played D&D when they were younger, and perhaps still do. Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, passed away this morning, aged 69.

I’ve written a small tribute to the man on my personal blog.

New Edition Dice

Have a look at the new dice for colour blind users in the latest edition of BattleLore. Subtle helmet markings help to differentiate the helmet colours.

300 Film Trailer

300

It’s somewhat off-topic (though appropriate for C&C: Ancients players), but while waiting for BattleLore if you feel like a taste of historical mass combat and some pretty astounding visuals, check out the new trailer for 300, the new film based on the Frank Miller graphic novel about the Battle of Thermopylae. More information about the film here. Directed by Zack Snyder (Dawn of the Dead), the film stars Gerard Butler, Lena Headey, David Wenham, Vincent Regan, Rodrigo Santoro and Dominic West and will be released in March next year.
