Morris is working on some spiffy native pad/tablet apps for you. Right now the first generation is just a news app that works on phones, but more is coming. The discussion is here:

A trial EN World news/reviews/articles iPhone app [now also ANDROID!] - EN World: Your Daily RPG Magazine

Thanks, Scotley!

Sorry, gentlemen, work has been kicking my @$$. I'm fine either way, in terms of number. A leaner, meaner team should work as well!

Been patching up earthquake victims?


Oh, and I already have new versions of the character sheet and spell list for tablet pc:

Want more inside dope on D&D and Hasbro? Check out the first post of this thread.

Sorry I've been MIA this week. I started the New Year with a nasty head cold. I'll attempt to get back on track this weekend.

Morris pulled most of the meat out of the thread on the front page. Pretty interesting stuff. I knew the plans for Gleemax/DDI and the virtual table top tanked about the time 4e was released but I never knew that a murder suicide by a lead developer was the reason.

Murder/Suicide?? -- I ... gotta ... read ... more ... carefully!

In other news, I'm now getting small bites once again over on the SJG boards for a GURPS Traveller game! And, in the spirit of SJG, I think I'm going to chuck almost all Traveller canon straight out the airlock this time around.

I've started playing Dungeon Overlord on FB. It's a Flash game, so when it starts, different fixed images are shown. This is one of my favorites. It reminds me of Bocephus. In the game, you build and manage dungeons, raising orcs, warlocks, etc. to attack the elves that live on the surface.

That looks very cool, Lou! Almost makes me wish I hadn't sworn off FB for my New Year's Resolution. I'm just not willing to go back there and start wasting time by the bucketload again playing those inimical games that are designed to do nothing more than keep you logged in to FB for a longer time than you intended.

I've got two interested in my GURPS Traveller game on the SJG Boards. And a third who will probably be joining soon. There's one guy that I owed a game to because I turned him away last time, but so far he hasn't stuck his nose in the thread that I can tell, or responded to the pm that I sent him. Looks like I may get to run my GURPS combat-centered game after all. I'm all but sure that I'm going to be horribly disappointed with the game mechanics aspect of it. Someday, I'm going to work out a way to run a Traveller game that's NOT Traveller20, not GDW Traveller, and not as deadly as GURPS Traveller. GURPS would work if the combat system wasn't so incredibly crappy. Or maybe you like having a 'hero' with a peg leg, a hook for a left hand, and only half a face.

Oh, yeah, and I've already been chided for not honoring Traveller canon. Looks like we do this the hard way again.....

Lou, that does capture the spirit of Bocephus nicely. He would be better dressed however, or maybe that is post tryst?

Leif, isn't T20 traveler with D&D/D20 mechanics? That should solve your combat issues nicely. I may be talking out of my ass here as I really don't know much about T20. I guess you could go the Star Wars/Shadowrun route and give the characters nifty cyber parts to replace the ones that get shot off...
