17. I'll save the details on the miniatures for another blog entry but I chose the boxed set of Human Male Characters which includes 12 very nice multipart miniatures representing the iconic D&D character classes, all contained in a rather nice zip up case.</div>
18. <br />
19. The prices on the GameSesh website for the minis and postage were a good saving, so with our additional 10% discount I felt that I got a really good deal.  I was also very pleased with the fast (two day) shipping time.<br />

21. I'm keen to support brick and mortar shops like <a href="http://www.spiritgames.co.uk/" target="_blank">Spirit Games</a> when I can, but in this age of internet shopping it's good be able to take advantage of the convenience of an online store and still be supporting a local business like <a href="http://www.gamesesh.com/" target="_blank">GameSesh</a>  Thanks Ben!<br />

Eric Holmes and was essentially a simple and more accessible version of the original Dungeons and Dragons rules devised by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson and first realised in 1974. &amp;nbsp;Later versions expanded on the basic (levels 1-3 play) rules and eventually evolved into their own product line, separate from the &#39;Advanced Dungeons and Dragons&#39; game. &amp;nbsp;Starter sets have always been popular and the iconic 1983 &#39;Red Box&#39; Basic set by Frank Mentzer is said to be the best selling Dungeons &amp;amp; Dragons product in the history of the game.&lt;br /&gt;
38. <br />
39. Anyway, enough of the history lesson I hear you say!  The 'Fifth Edition' of Dungeons and Dragons is just around the corner and this week Wizards Of The Coast unveiled details of <a href="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Product.aspx?x=dnd/products/dndacc/starterset" target="_blank">the latest starter set</a>, which has a release date of 15th July.<br />

45. Unfortunately for us here in the UK participating retailers are few and far between, however you can find the nearest participating shop on <a href="http://www.freerpgday.com/stores.htm" target="_blank">the website here</a>. <br />
46. <br />
47. I'm hoping to run a <a href="http://www.goodmangames.com/" target="_blank">Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG</a> session in Burton on Trent at the <a href="http://raidersofthegamecupboard.co.uk/" target="_blank">Raiders Of The Game Cupboard</a> event.  I'll be using a free module 'Tower Out Of Time'  provided for the event.  Goodman Games really do support Free RPG Day very well, providing a free module in print and also free PDFs for folk like me who are unable to get to a participating shop.  Have a great day whatever you're doing!<br />

75. <br />"I use one of these Facebook page for Unique Dice Towers <a href="http://www.uniquedicetowers.com/">www.uniquedicetowers.com</a> Dice Towers. The one I have is one that was made just prior to the Kickstarter Campaign, which was over funded, as most good ones are.<br />
76. I have known the bloke who does these for years. He was one of the people who used to run an RPG Meetup and at one time helped run the worldwide organiser's group with me. He built his first laser himself, but the Kickstarter funding bought him a brand spanking new top range laser system. The one I have is actually part of the design process.<br />
77. It works flawlessly. It breaks down into a box that holds your dice between games and reassembles from just two parts into a great little dice rolling tower. Pop your dice in the top and the mechanism rolls it and empties it out into a little tray for you to read the number.<br />
78. John, who makes them, is a DM and player, just like any of you. His criteria was that it should never detract from play. It had to be of a height that did not obscure the view of DM/GM or the players. It had to make some noise, but not so much as to be a distraction to the game.<br />
79. When it came time to arrange a Christmas present for 'Papa Zombie', I turned to John, who was just starting to consider allowing customers to provide artwork for him to use to make their dice tower. I provided the artwork, and in no time at all, I had Alan's present delivered. The 'side windows' were shaped like shotguns, and John thought the little cut out shotgun shapes were cool, so he included them in the delivery for free.<br />
80. We also worked together a little on John's Cuthulhu themed tower, though in the end, he used the original artist's work to avoid possible copyright infringements. The Chaosium and Fantasy Flight people are well known for letting lawyers loose on anything they consider too close to 'theirs'.<br />
81. I love my little Dice Tower. When you 'want more dice' but can't justify it, why not get one of these instead. You can buy it in several ply wood finishes, or several nice hardwoods. You can get it in pieces, to glue together into it's two parts yourself, or get it ready assembled. You can design your own cutouts, or choose from a bunch of ready made designs.<br />
82. I'd buy one. In fact I did. More than once."<br />

If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:

1. Download the "valid Atom 1.0" banner.

2. Upload the image to your own server. (This step is important. Please do not link directly to the image on this server.)

3. Add this HTML to your page (change the image src attribute if necessary):

   <a href="http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A//Eastmidlandsrpg.blogspot.co.uk/feeds/posts/default"><img src="valid-atom.png" alt="[Valid Atom 1.0]" title="Validate my Atom 1.0 feed" /></a>

If you would like to create a text link instead, here is the URL you can use:
