| D&d xp Hasn't D&D XP been going on since this morning? Other than an upload to Facebook or two, I haven't seen any updates on it. No threads here, no posts by any of the RPG Bloggers, nothing. You'd think that people were out there playing games and enjoying themselves, instead of working on reports to amuse me. What have we come to as gamers.

| Alright, since you asked so nicely. I'm at D&D Experience, and I'm having a blast. My "review", as it is, is extremely limited because I have not taken advantage of everything this relatively small con has to offer. I have played exclusively Living Forgotten Realms games. I managed to convince a nice guy named Frank to run one (BALD 1-1) unofficially on Wednesday night. Since then, I have played BALD 1-2 (facing off against an army of undead threatening to overrun Baldur's Gate), EAST 1-2 (rescuing halfing captives from gnoll slavers and exploring the lost maze of an ancient snake god), and CORM 1-2 (freeing a Cormyrean agent from the prison city of Wheloon). I'm looking forward to playing tons more over the next couple of days, especially SPEC 1-2 (the convention special LFR game- which I hear is pretty tough).
I can tell you that everything that I have heard about the high-level game, not sure what it is called, has been overwhelmingly positive. I've been too caught up in my own games to say anything about the delve events (which I have not really liked in the past), except that I do see some people playing them, and even thought about doing so myself. That said, my stomach won out, and I decided to eat instead.
Speaking of eating, the hotel food is good, not great, but not simple average, good. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff is very friendly. I don't feel shunned at all like during the days of Gen Con in Milwaukee.
Any specific questions?

| Plenty of minis news over at Hordelings. Including pictures of the worst imagining of an aboleth ever. Unbelievably bad. Horrible, and not in a creepy way. |

| Lots of good minis pictures on Hordelings too, especially the goblin.
If I were a product manager in WotC, I'd be disturbed by the fact no one is talking about XP here, and no one is talking about it on Gleeeeeemax. |

Still hoping to hear about the new product presentation from yesterday...
