I ran some games over the weekend at Little Wars, some of Medieval Fantasy Combat Miniatures Game and some of Lurch: The Zombie Chess Game, and had a lot of fun doing so. The convention has a tradition, in part because it is the local convention for the Midwest Chapter of the Historial...

There's no need to make this edition-specific or even game or game-type specific since the trend to gear some of the visual appeal of packaging and artwork particularly toward younger audience has been a concern of game companies since the eighties, but I would argue that they just weren't as...

I still haven't seen Dragon but a truncated line about how it retook the top spot sums up my feelings about movies lately, "new movies have to be weak and the other movies have to decline (. . .)" Couldn't have said it better.

Very nice. Very nice, indeed. Thanks. I love you. Too far, too much? Don't care. Needed to be said. I'm moving my bookmarks back.

Nice. Do you have any that look like the messageboards? :D

I hear that if they join your group to get into the USA, they have to keep playing the same character for a year until their citizenship kicks in.

He used to get in and out of the Chicagoland area some time ago. Maybe thalmin has some word on him.

This place needs a simple page-bottom forum jump menu that doesn't use the database and simply links to the main twenty forums. The site would be easier to use and run faster.

Given that info, five or six sounds fine by me, too. I thought six was good last year and if we plan for six we have a buffer in case someone needs to drop out at the last minute. Would that be the safe way to go?

I wonder how much sales have dropped off on miniatures and if current D&D players are buying as many as D&D players of past years (setting aside sales to DDM players or lack thereof since dropping that game). It would seem that the most recent rules engender use of minis at least as much as...

With the expansion, according to BBG, you can have seven players, so we should be able to have fourteen total, yes?

Taking a couple of posts in reverse order . . . This is as clear an understanding of the game as I have seen articulated. Actions and Attrition are definitely two of the primary key stones to mastering this game. I've been exploring a similar system and find it satisfying. It avoids too...

So, we've got the 2 Nalls, JC, Rodrigo and myself definite from last year and now Bubba, Wilder, Freeman, Ghostwind and Ridcully new for year so far. Am I missing anyone? If this is the case, I'd say that we should definitely plan on two tables (JC and Rodrigo please both bring your games with...

I stayed there the first year I went to Indy. Not a bad place at all. You just need to leave an extra fifteen or twenty minutes in the morning for the walk. Make some time to walk along the canal, too. Very nice, indeed.

Many advances in the game have been predicated on what players find "unfun" so why should removing status effects be any difference from any other change. Just drop them. There should be an easier way to track hit point loss, too, like damage being streamlined to five point integrals and...

Revisionist histories always seem less valuable than more complete versions. Geomorphs, two kinds, Dungeon and Outdoor, are both missing, and they are both for use with Dungeons & Dragons.

I'd be more concerned with parasites but there didn't seem to even be any insects on that world. Kinda makes you wonder what is producing all the carbon dioxide for the vegetation to process.

Only the top five into eight difits and nothing doing over 20 mil has got to be one of the slowest weekends on record for a while, no?

Another great upgrade! :)

Yup, not on the cover, nor interior, though the introductions by Kask and Gygax make it clear that this is to be used with D&D and that it cannot be used without the D&D booklets that led up to it and that it is very much a D&D booklet in its own right.
