Character Cache Version 2! Encoded Designs (designers of Part-Time Gods of Fate, Life and Moon, and Dangerous Space Jail) have teamed up with artist Matt Morrow to create the Character Cache, a collection of characters designed to be used in tabletop RPG gaming. This effort is being supported...

I'm interested in applying for the position of corespondent for the D&D brand. I'm a regular attendee of GenCon, assist Baldman games from time to time at GenCon and DDXP, and try to keep up on the happenings with D&D and the gaming industry as a whole. It's my hobby as much and GMing is. As...

To duel of not to duel. That is the question asked by this article and it gets right into with some nice art work and a short piece of fiction that shows us how it might have felt to walk into a duel. The second section is short and informative, telling the reader about the rapier and dueling...

I'm actually quite touched by all the people who are fearing for my financial future. I appreciate it greatly and just so you all know my degree is in creative writing and I'm going to get my masters in Editing . I'm an adult learner and have a job that puts food on the table, I just happen to...

Thanks Kallisti, those are some excellent idea's. I do study philosophy outside of my schooling as well as anthropology but never Psychoanalysis or even thought to look at Qabalah. I'll have to pick up a book or two on it. Andre I know you can't make it as a freelancer. My degree is going to be...

So I'm in college and have the fortunate opportunity to build my program the way I want to. I'm only restricted by NY state SUNY guide lines and the colleges area of study guidelines. I'm a Creative Writing major but my focus and concentration is on Game Design and writing for the industry...

UBcon was on the right side of awesome and with Nick coming back next year with his cadre of evil and talented DM's just come and get your game on. I've been playing D&D and other games for 18 years and I've never had as much fun as I did playing at this Con. Bloodlines. Remember the name...

Hey VB, here's the 3rd draft of the tinker and the Bot. I think this version is pretty playable and am looking forward to trying it out. I'd love to see it up in your fabulous formating. Thanks man. Note this is all just for a level one tinker. Tinker "Just give me a second to get my ratchet...

The Bot Finally here's my first rendition of the Bot. The companion to the tinker class. I'll be adding more to it as I go along but I wanted to see what people thought and if someone wanted to use the bot with their tinker. VB you can update the tinker also from it's origonal post. I've just...

keterys, thanks for all the suggestions and help with formating the wording. I think I got it right now. It's kinda neat having an editor/rules designer looking over my shoulder. I know Ineed that perspective sometimes. That outside perspective VB, The tinker can wait to be updated until I get...

I got rid of the encounter power. That was a bit of a problem and an over site on my part, thanks for the notification. I think the utility should be kept though as it functions similar to a cantrip like Ghost sound or light but I didn't feel it should go under at will powers. I did make a...

VB that tinker sheet is awesome. Pretty cool stuff there. Thanks for doing it up. I'm working on putting together the bot stuff right now and hopefully should have it done in a day or two and posted.

I was pretty sad to hear that Pathfinder wasn't going to 4e and when I looked through their Alpha book I liked the idea's they had but it still didn't fix the problems I have with 3.x edition which is primarily that the game gets unruly at higher levels. I don't like a player taking 10-20...

I think the biggest problem is the folks at WotC aren't really doing a lot of their own marketing. They seem to be depending mostly on word of mouth between players of D&D, fan sites like this one, and their website. We have a demo of the game or the ability to try it out with the PHB lite and...
