I'm pretty interested to see what direction things go. I'm eagerly awaiting my copy of Murder in Baldur's Gate.

You can read the original flavor text, which falls somewhere between the two new ones, at the Hasbro website. What amazes me is how topical all of the descriptions seem, including the one that is almost 20 years old.

Given the amount of amazing free swag I have received from running D&D Encounters at my local store, I don't know if Paizo spends more money on their OP or not. Both spend a lot, and the designers of the Neverwinter setting wrote the Neverwinter Encounters adventure. My experience with OP...

Wizards/DnD Correspondent As the position would entail news more than reviews, I would like to point out that Geekerati was an interview podcast and has featured the following individuals as guests: Brandon Sanderson -- Elantris John Rogers -- Leverage Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman Shelly...

Wizards/DnD Correspondent I am very interested in applying for official WotC correspondent position. I have been a gamer for over 20 years and have played Dungeons & Dragons in all of its editions. I also have a breadth of experience with a wide array of other gaming systems. Friends of mine...

Here is the error message: Sorry — your last action could not be completed If you were making a purchase or sending money, we recommend that you check...

I'll try again today, but it redirects me to a page saying that the transaction wasn't completed. I tried a transaction with another vendor, just to be sure it wasn't an error on my end, and that went through. I was trying the 4 month option. I might try the 1 month option just to see if that...

The review is fair and thoughtful, but I have been very much enjoying the game on XBox. I would have liked the dialogue to be "spoken" and for it to be a little more supportive of solo play -- it's better with multi-player -- but it is a fun game in the "D&D Heroes"/"Baldur's Gate Alliance" vein.

I have tried twice this week to purchase the 4-Month Silver subscription and it has failed to go through with Paypal. My transactions with other activities seem to be working fine. Is there an issue? Christian Lindke

I have to say that the d20 glut made me wary of new 3pp for Wizards products, but this stuff looks great. I'll be picking up some Amethyst stuff shortly.

Were I Wizards of the Coast, I too might be wary of supporting 3pp. Their past experience with 3pp wasn't the best for them. Let's say that every rumor of Paizo's success, and overtaking of Wotc, are true. If they are true than the OGL was a massive failure for them as all it did was to...

Though I have been, until recently, a Pathfinder Superscriber there is no way I would go to the Pathfinder rpg from 4e. This isn't because their product is deficient in some way, it's perfectly good warmed over 3.x with excellent adventures/setting. It's because I already have a bookshelf of...

There is no "hard and fast" rule regarding re-rolling perception checks, but there are some issues to consider. Keep in mind that "narratively" the character doesn't know if a player rolled well or not, only whether they found something or not. Metagaming can lead to excessive re-rolling...

3rd edition was built for 13 encounters to equal 1 character level increase, earlier editions had no hard coded encounter to level ratio (but limited advancement to one level per session), and 4e is built for 8 encounters per level. When I am adapting adventures, like the old B1-9 series, I...

Wizards is finally releasing... Dungeons & Dragons: Magic the Gathering! All kidding aside, I doubt they will go to an online only format. They have been making a concerted effort to promote local stores and activities in stores and seem to be shifting more in that direction. If the boxed...
