FYI: Swashbuckling Arcana = Magic of Theah.

Actually, they blamed it on abuse. The closest the article comes to RPG's is saying that she had met her friends at a renfest.

Well, Eosin is an RN, so I'll consider him a mostly informed source. :D

I do. Every time I DM. Well, actually I get to play a couple different ones... :D

Oh, they're not saying that D&D made him kill or encouraged him to kill. The profiler was saying he might play D&D because it would allow him to act out his need to play God.

Don't forget the new Greenwood novel: Elminster goes to Nightfall!

Actually, he used the term "authentic" which has slightly different connotations. Apparently he believes that you aren't really playing the Forgotten Realms unless you only use the core rulebooks, the books put out for the setting, and other materials put out by WotC (like the ELH or BoVD). If...

This morning on the news they were saying they found gunpowder residue on a church that had a clean line of fire at one of the shootings, and they've been checking the tops of buildings across the street from other sites. I think they have a pretty good idea where the shot came from.

I don't know. This guy seems to be a little too smart to do something like that. His shooting locations have been very well chosen for concealment and/or getaway ability. I'm still betting it's a prankster who left the card.

Rats. Especially Lab Rats. I loved my little rat deck.

That actually popped into my head this morning when I saw it on the news. :) I personally think someone other than the shooter left it, or else it was a copycat shooting in the first place. Why wait till the 8th (or whatever) shooting to leave a card?

What I think is really funny, is that most of the people that put out FR material would be appalled at Greymarch's groups' idea of an "authentic" FR campaign. I mean, for the last 2 years, WotC has had the mantra of "make it your own." Now, Greymarch, who claims to be pro-WotC, is totally...

Are they pushovers if you only use the core books, or are they only pushovers if you use supplemental material? I'm sure WotC wanted to keep the book core rules only compatible, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if they were pushovers for groups that use more books. Of course, the DM should...

I used to work at Mayhem. I'm glad they got them a little early. :) It must have been Schutte's vileness that attracted the book early. :D Oh, and if you see him, tell him Troy said that. ;)

Best thing ever invented: 24 hour gaming. Every couple of months, my FLGS would have 24 hours of gaming. They'd keep the store open and recruit people to run games and encourage people to just come in and play. They cleaned up at those. There is nothing better for creating impulse buying...
