I’d like to take this opportunity to post the first official communication from the original edition (OE) team, which many of you know colloquially as the 1.0 team. Designing and developing enduring and interesting stats is no light load, and and so it should come as no surprise to people that to release a quality product, it has taken some time. This has been a long and frustrating process, involving a guide for creating stats and acquiring an infrastructure to develop them. However, for those of you who still play the original edition, I think you’ll agree it was well worth the wait.

Have you ever wondered what that special square was again? Fret no more, we have created the Map Gazetteer specially for that purpose!

The Map Gazetteer precisely describes each map legal in the revised game, including information on what kinds of terrain each square is considered.

If you play in a home environment, you don't need this document. But once you start playing in official DCI tournaments, you are expected to follow the rules that are set forth in the DDM Floor Rules.

For the lazy people we've made this executive summary of the Floor Rules:
Players are expected to behave in a respectful and sporting manner at all times. Players shall abide by all rulings, including penalty rulings of the judge of duty. Players are required to have DCI number.

The DDM Guild is please to announce the immediate release of the new D&D Miniatures Floor Rules. They offer new solutions for Dungeons and Dragons miniatures players, and should help us move the game forward. The plan from Oranized Play is to keep this document updated frequently, so that when new maps and sets are released, we can make it clear that they are legal.
