Ryan Dancey's latest EN World column, Who is Sitting at Your Table?, discusses WotC's Adventure Game Industry Market Research Summary, psychographics of player types, and the resultant segmentation study and applies it for DM/GM use to take a look at what types of players are in your game and how to accomodate them.

[title]SANTIAGO: A Myth of the Far Future[/title]

Now that the ink is dry on the license, I can now announce EN Publishing's upcoming sci-fi adventure path for D&D 4E: :sant:. This is based on the novel by Mike Resnick, a critically acclaimed and award-wining sci-fi author.

We'll have more details soon, and the official website will be launched very soon, also. It will be shorter than :w: or :z: (likely six adventures or so) and include a free intro pack introducing the new classes, etc. This is slated for Autumn 2011.

For those not familiar with Mike Resnick's work, think Firefly meets Asimov's Foundation series, with the action set on the Inner Frontier of the Democracy. Resnick has been nominated for 34 Hugo Awards -- a record for writers -- and won five times.
