This just in: The sky is falling! I think it's a bit soon to say anyone needs to ready their resumes. Maybe one or two people might, but that's only because in any company I've worked for, there's always one or two people readying their resumes. While Gleemax and DDI weren't my cup of tea...

I'm probably the exception to the rule here, but I've actually found a lot less people that I want to play with. In high school, I didn't meet a lot of gamers, but most of them I met I liked gaming with. These days I'm surprised by the amount of people I meet that game (or would at least like...

Put me in the camp that likes the sounds of this. Still not enough to get me excieted about 4e, but a step in that direction.

I'm looking at this in a way like the buffs are fueled by adrenaline. Which sounds a bit out there, but it would make sense with the idea of lastin for the encounter. As soon as there is no longer a perceived threat, a character's adrenaline starts to leave the system and takes the buff with...

Holy crap! It's like you were reading my mind when you posted this.

This new set up actually makes me excited about the idea of playing a paladin. I think the smite which makes an enemy focus on you for a round should come a bit earlier, but none the less, all three seem reasonable to me. A paladin, in my mind, is like a divine fighter, so it only makes sense...

I'm currently taking a speech class and have decided to do my informative speech on D&D. My plan is not to try and go over the rules with the class (as I only have 6-8 minutes for the speech), but instead give a general overview of D&D, mainly as a game, but with a quick look at the brand name...

I currently have a DSL broadband connection (living in the UK, this seems to be all that is offered in my area). The connection only goes to my computer and to the best of my knowledge, I can't hook my PS3 up to it as there was software sent with the connection that can only be read by my...

Does Oblivion not count as a real RPG? I've been stuck to that game like glue since I started playing it a couple weeks ago.

I was thinking the same thing. That, and I'll be getting on a plane early that morning to go back to the states for three weeks.

I have to object here, at least partially. While I don't think it was your intention, there's an implication in this that non-D&D fans wouldn't know a good D&D movie. A good movie is a good movie regardless of what license it may be based upon. I know plenty of non-D&D players that enjoy good...

What's the "goodwill impairment charge"?

There's no "B"s in there; of course you're going to fail. The correct formula is "ABACADABA". :)

Phew! I was worried for a minute they wouldn't get that cup of coffee...

It's apparent to me now that I went through basic with the wrong group of people. This is pure genious.
