I'll be there, either doing press stuff as usual (well, more than usual with 5e) and running Marvel Heroic Roleplaying at Games on Demand. If you stop by for Marvel, there's a 50% chance you'll be playing an adventure I wrote :)

I really enjoyed it. I've used Shemeska as an occasional bad guy/temporary ally in a few campaigns that have taken trips to Sigil (but not stayed there). Great background material. I was hoping for a bit more Planescape material this month, but at least we get this, my Factions article...

Friday night is the Ennies and Saturday night is the Media Meet & Greet at Union Station (which often has many freelancers in attendance). I could go to a different bar after either of those things- or just combine with the Meet & Greet.

My article was in both TOCs, so I guess that says... something?

I took the poll results from last week and dropped them into Excel and sorted from highest to lowest. Some pretty interesting stuff (all usual poll caveats apply, of course.) BELONG IN CORE Critical Hits 4698 Skills 4322 Feats 4044 Saving Throws 3744 Non-Vancian Magic 2930 Ability for...

Apology accepted. I'd also like to add that it's clear that WotC is reading and processing (though not necessarily accepting) everything, so regardless of the reactions, actual rules, etc. I'm confidant they're thinking about all of it.

And I think you're very mistaken in using my post to represent a problem on WotC's part, especially without having all the facts. Additionally, if writing about something as small as stirges constitutes a "****storm" WotC is not going to be able to do right by you no matter what they try...

Thanks, I appreciate that. BTW, my comments thread on that post has been open, I was willing to clear anything up about my impressions :)

From what I understood from the NDA I signed, cool stories talking about my game were OK, but talking about actual rules was not. I wanted to talk about my experiences running D&D at DDXP, so I told some cool stories about my game. One of them happened to include a case where I made a call at...

I think it's far too early to make that determination - what we ran was a convention demo adventure, based on an early D&D module that was designed as an intro in the first place. Plus the "craziness" was all brought by the players and wasn't anything that would be too out of place in plenty of...

Between the lines? I'm not even sure my blogging software supports that :) On the Paizo thing, it's my understanding that it was Paizo that didn't want them to sign an NDA, not WotC. I've heard before as well that WotC employees aren't allowed to sign NDAs for other gaming companies, so it...

Hey, thanks for the kind words on the ninja article! Glad you enjoyed it. My next milestone will be when it's in the character builder so I can fully play one (instead of in playtest with a character builder character and lots of stuff scratched out)

Thanks! I thought it was cool too :)

Full, cleaned write-up put here: http://critical-hits.com/2011/08/08/gen-con-2011-dd-new-products-seminar/ (Pictures coming once my photographer is able to download them) Also a post with non-D&D news coming later in the week.

Just as in previous years, Critical hits will be posting from the con. The big thing that people come and check out is the D&D new product seminar write-ups on Saturday: 2009: http://critical-hits.com/2009/08/17/gencon-2009-4e-extravaganza-with-photos/ 2010: Gen Con 2010: D&D New Products...

Hey Dirk, just wanted to say I remember seeing your version months back and really liking what you've done, and the revisions seem to be making it better and better- so awesome work, and glad that someone's 4e Modern went somewhere great :)

Sign me up!

GeeksDreamGirl and I will be there!

The strange and mystical take what they want. You alter reality to steal it back from them. You provide... leverage. My hack of the Leverage RPG to play in the Mage: The Ascension (World of Darkness) universe. No rules knowledge necessary, but some familiarity with Mage is a big plus...
