Lucas at edurealms.com uses Dungeons & Dragons as a metaphor to explain Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, which claims that human beings have several different types of intelligence, rather than one all-encompassing INT score:

So I decided last night before bed that I would sign up for Neon Con to ST two different games. I will be STing a Cam game on Thursday night with a Sabbat game Friday night as well. I am really looking forward to the games. Heck, I am looking forward to them so much that I actually had dreams last night about them, though for the life of me I cannot remember what the jist of the dreams were. Oh well, guess I'll have to use my think tank when I'm awake to come up with the games. Too many…

To read or hear about them is to wish you'd had the opportunity to roll up a character and join in. (You can hear an interview with David, including some accounts of his classroom…

Limited Championships 2010/11
Posted: Saturday September 11, 2010 | 20:19pm From: Tried Comments: 1
Its time to announce the North American Limited Championships, to take place at Neoncon in Las Vegas.
Now, some of you may have already seen the DDM Guild Blog on the WotC website, so this may not come as a surprise to you. But to others, the idea of using the new Lords of Madness huge set for the championships may seem a little strange. After all, we’ve never had a “huge”…

Hi All,
Sorry I haven't been able to keep doing the weekly DDM games lately. Between car accidents, new classes at CSN and issues with work, my summer got a little messed up. But, I'm back on track and will be able to do the Sealed Pack Lords of Madness Tournament on September 26th!
The DDMGuild Stat Cards for all the Lords of Madness minis (plus every set of pre-painted minis D&D has ever made) are now up on the website at…

What kind of games? Any kind! Anything like RPGs, boardgames, card games, minis games, or freaky Finnish LARPs. Anything your little heart desires!
Why should you run games at…

Trying to build up my D&D minis collection. If you've got some you'd like to sell (or trade for ps3 games, books, etc.) Drop me a line! fictionsetter AT yahoo DOT com.
p.s. Could be painted metal figures, heroscape or mageknight figures, not just D&D plastic figures.
Thx
