Legendary Evils Stat Cards

With the release of Legendary Evils just days away, and with the special pre-release this weekend at GenCon courtesy of Wizards of the Coast, it's time to unveil the DDM Guild stat cards for Legendary Evils.

The stat cards will be legal for all DCI-sanctioned and Online League events starting August 18, 2009.

Gen Con 2009 Special Event

As you’ve seen during the last few months, the DDM Guild has been pushing the game in new directions. The last few months has seen the release of new item cards, with more to be released each year. (Some very soon.) If you’ve played in our online league, you’ve seen the testing of new constructed formats, including warbands built around keywords instead of factions. We are taking this to the next level at Gen Con, where players will play module D3: Drow Insurrection.

Scenario D2: Drow Intervention

You can now download Scenario D2, Drow Intervention, which can be played as either a two-player game or a multi-player scenario.

The format sees House P'Ortia continue its raids against Clan Mardek. At least it seems like this is the case with a cursory observation. But there certainly are strange things afoot. For one thing, the dwarf sages tell us that Clan P'Ortia isn't one of the demon-blessed drow houses; rather, it is a travel and trade-based house. So why is there a draegloth in that warband?

Legendary Evils Release Events

The DDM Guild is happy to support stores and gaming clubs wishing to continue the tradition of cracking open two brand new boosters and building a warband that would never see play in any other skirmish format. Download our fact sheet for all the information you need to organize or attend a Legendary Evils Release Event.

Release Event Locations

We'll update this map as we learn of more events being held around the globe.

Legendary Evils: Preview 1

Keith Tatroe, lead designer on Monster Manual: Legendary Evils, gives us our first sneak peak at this summer's huge release!

Welcome to the first DDM Guild preview of Legendary Evils! It feels like just yesterday, a new set came out. Or was it yesterday? While Legendary Evils won’t be out until after Gen Con, not everybody is preparing for the upcoming Constructed Championships. Some of us are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to share what we've been hard at work on for the past several months.

Battle Rules Updates

I hope you're all prepping your Championship warbands, getting ready to start playing with the Player's Handbook Heroes, Series 2 figures releasing today, and bracing yourself for the rapid Legendary Evils previews starting Thursday.

Event Report: Dutch Open 2009

Our Dutch Chapter Master, David Balder, brings us an excellent report on the Dutch Open 2009 in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

The Dutch Open, a qualifier for the D&D Miniatures Game European Championship, was organized on the 21st of June. The tournament was visited by 11 players, with two German and one Belgian guest. The tournament ran for 5 rounds without playoffs: we wanted everybody to play as many matches as possible.
