Some time ago, I created a silly variation of D&D 4e where the adventurers were all participants in some sort of reality show. You can find a badly edited PDF version of the variant here. I played it to various degrees of success back in 2009.
A few weeks ago, as I began meeting more and more local French media geeks (from TV, podcats and blogs), I decided that it would be cool to showcase the fun of D&D 4e to people who hadn’t played in a long time or, better yet, never played tabletop RPGs.
I had the game today and I’ll post about it on the main blog over the next week. In the meantime, I thought you would like to see a teaser. So here are some of the “Sponsored items” cards I created for a group of level 2 D&D Essentials characters. Click to enlarge into a legible format.
Note these are all items I took from the D&D Compendium and re-wrote the fluff for.
It was a blast to play… Looking forward to tell you more about it.


Hehe! These are awesome, dude!! I was, like “L”, but then, an “OL”-typed “L” came up.
Absolutely love the creativity in these
Did you have a french version as well, or was the group blédingue enough to roll with the english fluff?
