    Dawn of War 2... your thoughts?

    I just got it last week and have played a couple missions on the Single Player campaign. The jury is still out on whether I like it as much as the original game. It definitely is more true to the tabletop game in that you don't build units within the mission. The units you start with are the...

    WTF Blizzard? A complaint about Dual Specs in patch 3.1

    My jaw about hit the floor when I saw this link... http://www.wowinsider.com/photos/patch-3-1-dual-spec-walkthrough/1383480/ Excuse me... 1000g to purchase the ability to Dual Spec? I've never even had 100g at once. The most I had was a couple nights ago before (like an idiot) I blew 80g on...

    Paladin and Cleric of Bahamut Quotes

    My group is going to start Thunderspire Labyrinth and another player and I are playing a Paladin and Cleric of Bahamut respectively. Here are some quotes we plan on throwing out (especially me... I'm playing a Dragonborn Cleric with fire as my breath weapon, he is playing a Human Paladin). It...

    World of Warcraft taught me how to DM again.

    Let me start off by saying that I've been DMing and playing D&D on and off since 1981. Somewhere around the time Werewolf the Apocalypse debuted I got into playing the various World of Darkness games with a group that was very much into narrative roleplaying with grand overplots that plugged...

    Where are all of the campaign settings?

    When 3E came out we already had Freeport, Scarred Lands, and Greyhawk. Forgotten Realms wasn't too much later in coming. So where are all of the campaign settings for 4E? So far the only ones I am really aware of is Forgotten Realms and Kingdoms of Kalamar (though KoK is only in PDF and I've...

    Music for Cyberpunk 2020/Shadowrun

    Give me some ideas for a compilation album of music suited to playing in a Cyberpunk 2020 or Shadowrun game. You don't have to mention Billy Idol's Cyberpunk album... that is kind of a no brainer. :)

    What is your favorite coffee?

    Oh how I love my morning coffee. Even after switching to decaf I still NEED it every morning. I used to go to the Starbucks which just happens to be downstairs from my office (one of the reasons I took this job... that and the Barnes & Noble across the street) but now I brew my own and bring...

    How I loved Photon!

    Somehow I got on the subject of Laser Tag with one of my coworkers and I immediately dove into telling him about the granddaddy... the Dallas Photon. The Dallas location opened when I turned 11 and I had many birthday parties there. I got all nostalgic for it especially when I found this site...

    PDF Book Printing/Binding

    There are a couple of PDF books that I'd love to get printed and bound since I am not one to read a full book while sitting at my computer (I'm always too tempted to boot up a game). What is the best way to get PDF books printed? Please consider the following: Quality Price Service...

    Tell me about Runescape

    I've begun hearing murmurings about this MMORPG that is browser playable. I'd like to hear what some of the players think about it.

    "Bulk" rules are needed

    Okay... enough is enough. Encumberance rules are fine and good but I think even more needed are rules for "Bulk". IMG one of my players is running a shooty elven ranger and is walking around with 20 quivers of arrows. How on earth does someone run around with all of the usual adventuring gear...

    Feng Shui = Big Trouble in Little China the RPG

    In a horrible case of impulse buying which will for sure have my wife griping at me I just ordered Feng Shui from Amazon. Anyway, Big Trouble in Little China is probably one of my all time favorite movies. After doing some research and reading the reviews I've come to the decision that Feng...

    Any new settings for 4e?

    I've decided that I don't really want a rehash of an old setting from previous editions. Has anyone heard of any new 4E specific settings coming down the pipe?

    Keep on the Shadowfell Maps

    My group downloaded and printed these for our game and they were a HUGE timesaver (and they look really cool too). Thought I'd share them with the good folks of ENWorld. Keep on the Shadowfell battlemats - Cartographers' Guild Keep on the Shadowfell (2nd batch) battlemaps (6-8) -...

    Our Civic Duty

    This is not a political thread... I just thought that this was a kinda neat video put together encouraging people to go vote no matter who you like. They ask that you send it to 5 people but I don't believe in chain letters so I figured that his was a great place to post it so several people...

    How do you scare your players?

    I love the horror genre but sometimes it can be difficult to actually "Scare" the group. I've actually only participated in one session where any of the players had a genuine fear response. In that game there were only two players (myself included) and the GM who was running Kult. I've come to...

    Did Keep on the Shadowfell result in a TPK for your group?

    Unfortunately it did for mine (well, almost... the Eladrin Wizard and Human Rogue got away). I DM'd my groups first 4E session last Saturday Night and I thought we had a pretty well rounded group. We had a Human Fighter, Dwarven Cleric, Tiefling Warlord, Eladrin Wizard, and Human Rogue. The...

    Dawn of War 2: Have you checked out the new trailer?

    Okay... I thought it was awesome just with the Eldar and the Marines but THQ added the last bit to the trailer where the Marine Sergeant has to fight a Tyranid Lictor (of course we all know how that one will turn out). I am so psyched for the new Dawn of War... I think Starcraft 2 might...
