No, I don't trust WOTC (as owned by Hasbro) to be good stewards of the hobby. It is simple as that.

Guess I was looking for positive or negative opinions! I just did a scan of your blog posting on the game. I saw your Tribes 8 influence (a game I never played). Any influence from Amber Diceless RPG? p.s. Heading over to buy in now...

I was just browsing kickstarting and this caught my eye. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/Jagash/the-spark-roleplaying-game This only has three hours left so it is unlikely that many people will see this before it expires. It fits in nicely with my style of play. My games tend to borrow...

Our game has 8 players around the table. We agreed to drop all classes that have companions, extra critters and the leadership feat. The whole point is that it can get slow with that many players and keeping the number of entities that a player is responsible for can speed things up. We...

A second recommendation here for the Artesia comics. Warning: the comics are currently stalled...

I would expect the development of a set of pictograms very similar to the hobo signs, especially for well known dungeons. Even if you don't like them for dungeons an entrance to the darklands might be another place to use dungeon pictograms. WEBSITES\HOBOPAGE\hobosigns

Oh the time to waste I should be coding Java Neverwinter, haste

Has anyone here experimented with using MasterBot ( a new consumer-grade, desktop-size 3-D printer) for creating dungeon tiles? I'm tempted to spend the money and started trying in out myself. Dungeon Tiles for Miniatures Gaming by Telvin_3d - Thingiverse...

Cthulu and Pendragon mentioned but not RuneQuest. You mention Cthulhu and Pendragon but no mention of RuneQuest. There should be some mention of RuneQuest and the purchase by Avalon Hill of the RuneQuest system. Ysgarran.
