March 4th for GM's Day Sale at DriveThruRPG.com

Before I give you the pitch to go spend your hard earned money on random RPG products that are 25% off at DriveThruRPG.com, I'd like for all of us to take a moment to remember Gary Gygax who passed on two years ago tomorrow. It's rather fitting that it was on GM's Day, but I think it's important to remember him for what he gave to all of us.

...

OK, go buy a bunch of stuff from DriveThruRPG.com. (Who are we kidding? You're not buying this stuff for your GM. You're buying it for you! Well, I guess it counts if you're a GM.)

Get the Cheyenne Wright Savage Tales Bundle

From Pinnacle Entertainment's Homepage:

In a bit of bad news, Cheyenne Wright, an illustrator and artist who's worked with Pinnacle since the very beginning, has run into some health problems. While we don't have all the medical details, it's pretty likely that the robust insurance provided to freelance artists (ahem, cough, cough) isn't really up to the task of modern medical testing. With that in mind, we're offering two Cheyenne Wright Savage Tales Bundles for the next week. Each bundle includes half of our current Savage Tales PDFs for only $19.99, with the proceeds going directly to Cheyenne's medical expenses.

For those of you in a more directly generous mood, we've added the Cheyenne Wright $5 Donation item to the Pinnacle listings at the Studio 2 Publishing web store. Buy it once, twice, or as often as you like. Studio 2 Publishing has agreed to absorb the processing costs, so your full $5 donations will be sent directly to Cheyenne.

Hellfrost Review, Part IV: Gazetteer

Previously, I presented an overview of the Hellfrost product line and support as well as reviews of the Player's Guide and the Bestiary. In this review, I'll cover the third of the core Hellfrost books, Hellfrost: Gazetteer.

What does this mean for The Dice of Life? Well, after some serious consideration, I've decided to put the blog on hiatus. Truthfully, we've all suddenly become extremely busy in our lives, and I've been struggling to keep the blog moving along.

Don't unsubscribe from TDoL, though. I still intend to finish the Hellfrost review series, and I'll be dropping in little bits and pieces of useful info here and there whenever I can.

I've also created a Facebook page for The Dice of Life as part of my long-term desire to create a community based on the blog's mission. I invite anyone interested to visit the page and contribute. I included a Discussions section for anyone and everyone to participate and share their own useful tips, tricks, and resources for time-crunched gamers.

In the meantime, Brennen, R.K. Athey, and m.s. jackson have been posting in their own forums about some of the games we've discussed in our various articles. I highly recommend subscribing to their blogs.

Hellfrost Review, Part III: Bestiary

Triple Ace Games was generous enough to provide a review copy of the Hellfrost Bestiary , and as mentioned in both Part I and Part II, the Bestiary is a great standalone product as well as an integral part of the Hellfrost setting. Have no doubts, this product is chock full of new, interesting creatures and handy stat blocks for more familiar ones as well as some additional content you might not expect from a Bestiary.
