I received a comment about a week or two ago about finding sound effects that could be used to bring further ambiance to D&D sessions. My first thought was to search around for sources where I could find various sound effects that can be downloaded for free. Then another thought came to me: [...]

I’ve finally picked up my first copy of Dragon magazine (the May 2007 issue), despite the fact that it’ll be going out of print soon, and so far I’ve been liking what I’ve been reading. The iDragon: Modern Music in D&D is a pretty good resource to those looking to start using music in [...]
