I'm on a podcast! What's it about? Listen and find out. Okay, this one's about collections and hoards, both in-universe, and out-of-universe. Where can you get this podcast? Right here: Blogger iTunes YouTube (audio only, but there's some letters to look at)...

Woo! Hobbits are back in the game! Okay, not with the name hobbit, but anyways. Although, as much as I like my tubby hobbits, it seems kind of stereotypical for the hobbit to be the fat one. Why not a fat human? Or would a chubby human be confused with a dwarf? Surely WotC's artists aren't...

I have a problem with the existence of the Far Realms. I think the existence of this otherworldly planes kind of makes the regular planes seem sort of mundane. It's like Wizards was saying "What if we take the planes, which are super freaking awesome, and then we turn the dial up to Eleven!"...

We're all nerds here, right? If you're not familiar with base twelve notation for mathematics, you should do a google search for it. I'll try and summarize the best I know how. I presume you're familiar with binary and hexadecimal notation. Binary is notating numbers using only two possible...

I've seen several commentators on blogs say that one of the things that makes D&D so great is the brand name. It's because anything with a different name isn't, in our heart of hearts, "real D&D". Their point seems to be that WotC screwed up so bad with 4E that they drove away those emotional...

It seems to me as if Planescape is the natural core and default setting. For one thing, Planescape leads to all other settings, so if you really wanted One Setting to Rule them All, Planescape would be it. With all these other default setting worlds, you kind of have to do some maneuvering to...

I feel like 4th edition kind of relegated the dice to a bit of a background role. The d20 is still king, of course, but other dice only get picked up as needed by a power. I like it when dice symbolize things. I like it when a d12 comes out and you know you're dealing with a barbarian or a...

5th edition doesn't have an official name, but they've been calling it something that starts with I. It's not even clear whether it will be called an "edition" although they are admitting that they're making changes on the scale of a new edition. For now, they're calling it an "iteration"...

I'm not in on it! :mad: Seriously, these guys are telling us all about the fun they're having with the new rules, and I have to sit here and play with v.3.5 mechanics. I love v.3.5 mechanics, I wish I could go on using them forever, but it just eats at the back of my brain that most of the...
