    The Player Appreciation Thread

    You know, here and on a lot of other places 'round the 'net GMs get a lot of credit. It's the thankless job. The bulk of the game rests upon the GMs shoulders, etc. I do not dispute these things. However, as I look back over the past ten years, I've been really damn lucky to have some of the...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3e Made Me Into a Gronard

    I was doing some design work for a game company that I work for and coming up with new abilities for characters for an expansion book. I sent my material over to our playtesting group and they ripped my stuff apart as usual. No surprise there. But I got the most interesting comment from them...

    D&D 4E Preparing for 4e - What campaign will you run?

    Well, the title says it all. For those of you planning to run 4e, what are you planning to do? What kind of campaign do you have set up? What are you cooking? For myself, I'm not overly fond of their fluff, but I love their crunch. So what I'm doing is working on a campaign that is...
