For those of us unable to go to Gencon, but interested in following along at home, I'm starting my somewhat annual post of news and goings on at Gencon 2013. If you know anyone posting blog posts or reviews of what's happening at gencon this year, that would be great! I'm most interested in...

I'm looking to start a game in a post-something city where the players are going to become a major force in a city wracked by gangs and factions fighting over turf. I'd like the actual play to still resemble d&d, not necessarily in ruleset, but rather in style: players have a goal, control one...

Hey everyone out in enworld land, after some great D&D and roleplaying at Gencon, my farflung friends and I are talking about playing D&D online. Does anyone have any recommendations, or at least some experience with it? What would you recommend? I think we're going to start with Maptools...

I realize that signup for gencon is still a couple months away, but I wanted to get a head start on thinking about what roleplaying games to sign up for. I realize that the GM can make or break any game, but does anyone have any recommendations for a good con game? I regularly play D&D, and...

So, a bunch of friends are all getting together this year at Gencon. It'll be my first in a couple of years, and I'm excited, if you can't tell by the post 7 months early. I would love to hear from some people what board games we should rent from the board game room, sign up for or bring. I...

Maybe this is nostalgia, but I've been thinking about this lately, and I really have begun to believe that the modern D&D variants, Pathfinder and 4E, just won't attract the new players that people want them to attract. Here's why: The default character rules are just too complicated. First...

Well, having read a bunch of threads that have been continuing the edition war, albeit in a much more civil tone, I decided I needed something different. I thought it might be fun to create a thread around how you've married the rules you play under with the campaign setting. A request...
