The new floor rules for 2011 are ready, and as always apply to both the revised edition and for those of you playing the original edition. The big changes for most people will include the much anticipated ban of the Solamith, and the formalization of the return to active play of the Eternal Blade, Witchknife and Delver Sergeant. You may notice that the Heroscape wave 13 figures are listed as legal.

Welcome to the Beholder Collector’s Set ‘Rules’ released by the DDM Guild. To mark this memorable event, the Guild has issued new stats for each figure included in the set. Astute players will note that some of these figures are recasts of earlier beholder miniatures. Those of you who have an eye for the letter of the rules will also point out that, as such, should probably use pre-existing stat cards for play.

After a long wait, here is the second set of retro-stats for dungeons and dragons miniatures.

These stats outline the evil that lurks in the legendary evils huge set, or in the mind of Peter Scott (the lead designer), depending upon your viewpoint. And so, without further ado, its time to roll a morale check…

Legendary Evils

As we’ve done in past years, we have updated the floor rules for the competitive season. There aren’t any changes to the rules for tournaments, in fact, all changes are confined to page 9…

Oh Athame, we hardly knew ye…

We aren’t sure how many of you will get that reference, but to explain further, if you check the updated list of banned D&D Miniatures in Standard tournaments, you will find three humanoid races represented; Human, Elf and Athame.

The DDM Guild is pleased to bring you the most recent update to the floor rules, which includes updates to the legal maps and figures, as well as a table of contents for quickly finding what you need if you are working from a print, rather than pdf, copy. We’ve also finally listed Windswept Precipice as legal for the small map formats (and you can still download it here), to confirm it is legal for sanctioned play.
