May of the Dead continues, and with it, the danger to the PCs at the table.

Things can go terribly wrong when fighting necromancers and their armies of the undead. One such problem, you become one of them. The following Undead Templates can be applied to your characters should the unfortunate happen.

[Poll Results] Which 4e Races Have You Played?

It has been some time now, but I feel 4th Edition has lost its momentum. Some of you may argue that fact, but this has been true for me and a number of people I know. This is why the title of the poll I posted to your immediate right (Which Races Have You Played As Over Your 4th Edition Career?) implies 4th Edition is over. In any case, here are the results of that poll in order of popularity:

Option	Result	Percentage
Human	20	11%
Dwarf	16	9%
Eladrin	12	7%
Sorry, I DMed	12	7%
Halfling	9	5%
Tiefling	9	5%
Dragonborn	8	5%
Half-elf	8	5%
Warforged	8	5%
Elf	7	4%
Half-orc	6	3%
Drow	5	3%
Genasi	5	3%
Gnome	5	3%
Revenant	5	3%
Pixie	4	2%
Vryloka	4	2%
Githzerai	3	2%
Mul	3	2%
Shade	3	2%
Shifter	3	2%
Thri-Kreen	3	2%
Bugbear	2	1%
Deva	2	1%
Gnoll	2	1%
Minotaur	2	1%
Githyanki	1	1%
Goblin	1	1%
Kenku	1	1%
Kobold	1	1%
Orc	1	1%
Satyr	1	1%
Shardmind	1	1%
Wilden	1	1%
Bladelings	0	0%
Bullywug	0	0%
Changeling	0	0%
Duergar	0	0%
Hamadryad	0	0%
Hobgoblin	0	0%
Kalashtar	0	0%
Shadar-Kai	0	0%

I must say, I am sorely disappointed that Vryloka rated above Minotaur amongst you. For shame.

Weekly 4e Homebrew: Zombie Virus

Every Sunday, I'll have a completely homebrewed Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition element that you can use in your games. I do take requests so you can either post a comment here, email me at thatrobedguy@hotmail.com with the subject "Homebrew Request", or send me a tweet on Twitter (@brannonhutchins) with the hashtag #weekly4e.

May of the Dead is here and with it, bloggers across the Tubes will be revealing their inner Romero in each new post. I've decided to throw my hat into the ring because hey, zombies are cool.

Common zombie lore (and by lore I mean movies) say that a zombie bite is infectious. Sometimes, it just takes a scratch from one of them to slowly turn you. I may have missed it, but I've yet to see this implemented in 4th Edition.

So without further ado, the Zombie Virus.

VLOG May 4th, 2012: The Avengers

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! (translation: this movie is awesome and you should give it all the money)

AGE Brew: Ewok!

It is a time of turmoil in the galaxy...and by galaxy, I mean NewbieDM's mind. This is article two of two in my attempt to make Newbie have an aneurysm and this one should do the trick (you can view the first article here).

You see, Newbie has been putting together a Star Wars hack of the AGE system and refuses to add Ewoks to the fold. Well, here is my attempt at bringing those adorable little cannibals to your table top.
