    It's Almost the Season for WOTC layoff!

    It's almost the time for WOTC's annual pre-Christmas layoffs. I wonder who will get the axe this year? Methinks that things are probably pretty 'interesting' there these days based on these recent developments: - The change in direction for 4E marked by the release of Essentials - The schedule...

    STILL No Character Builder Update?

    Well, the October calendar is up and there is STILL no scheduled Character Builder update dammit. I did my part WOTC. Even though I swore that I would never play 4E again until the Game Table was released, I still bought your Essentials books. I re-subscribed to DDI. I actually even got a...

    Dungeon Tiles Master Sets - Not a good deal?

    I noticed that the Dungeon Tile Master Sets are going to have 10 sheets of tiles for $19.99. Since the regular sets are $9.99 for 6 sheets, doesn't this mean we are getting less for more?

    Gabe of Penny Arcade Slams the OSR

    Maybe seeing for just a night what it was like back then, will give them a greater appreciation of the game they're playing now. Nice thinly veiled slam against the old-school players out there. Also, what's with the comments about 'armor deteriorating' and 'magic items breaking'*? Since when...

    Help Me Decide on a Project!

    Like many others, I seem to be afflicted with Gamer ADHD when it comes to deciding on a project to work on. I have narrowed my choices down to two possibilities. Both will be based on Castles & Crusades because that is my current system of choice. I would like your help in deciding which one...

    Are Any of the AEG Mini-Adventures Outstanding?

    DriveThruRPG has PDFs of the old AEG 'mini-adventures' on sale for only 63 cents each. Are any of them particularly good? I'm not just looking for another 'ok' dungeon crawl. I am looking for clever/interesting/unique ideas and adventures.

    New RPG News Site

    With the demise of the Gaming Report, I have decided to put my toe in the water and reserve www.roleplayingnews.com. My initial thought is to build the site with WordPress and use some sort of 'news' theme, but I wanted to throw it out there to you guys. What would you like to see in a general...

    Is 3.0 Playable?

    Ok. First things first: WS-EDITION-WAR = 'N' Now that I have that out of the way, I have a question. I can pick up the 3.0 books cheaply. Is there any reason that I shouldn't use them? Is a game using just the 3.0 books playable (and hopefully enjoyable)? Your experiences and/or opinions...

    4E, the Grind and Why I Play

    I normally post my 'ranty' thoughts about D&D on my blog, but I have been warned that if I put up any more posts that could be considered '4E Bashing' that I will probably get tossed off the RPG Bloggers network. I don't want that to happen and so you good people get to enjoy them here...
