Thank you Scott and everyone at WotC. And, of course, thank you Gary. Dave

It's fitting that he picked Game Master's Day to make his exit. Forever will the two be linked. I find today to be a lot more blue than it otherwise was. I am sad at his passing. Dave

Does anyone have the numbers on how much money GenCon (not the show in Indy, but the company) makes? Or what Adkison's net worth is? (Not that his wealth should be so intimately connected to the show, but, of course...) I'm curious what kind of numbers we're talking about, and why they'd have...

Where are all the Darth Vader vs. Elminster jokes? I mean, they're not exactly on target, but, close enough. Geez. Dave

I'm going. I will be judging 7 slots of D&D minis games. I think I have Thursday morning free. Since I'll have my judge shirt on, I'll try to blend in somewhere and spy on someone playing 4e, so I can see something cool. ;) The rest of the time I'll be judging minis events. Come by and say...

Nah, not afraid. It's going to be a surprise to me too. :) It's been in layout for a while, and while I know what I sent up the pipeline, I'm not sure what's still there. It's funny, I assume this is like assembling anything else; it's simply not the case that every member on the team knows...

The phrase "damage reduction" does not appear in the rulebook. Dave

Confirmed Critical hits in D&D minis do double damage. (page 8) Diagonal movement does not cost extra. (page 19) Dave

Several months have passed since you've seen a post about a new issue of Knowledge Arcana. There are many reasons for this, some pretty, some ugly. Generally, though, the delays have been a result of two things: 1) negotiations over KA's place in a Gleemax-centered world over at WotC, and 2)...

Similarly, the new rules for the 2.0 version of the D&D minis were slated to be released today and they haven't been spotted. I have my fingers crossed for 2pm-ish, eastern time, but, who knows? Dave

That's how I do it, which makes RPGA DMing a bit of a pain. :) I think that a problem with the intention is that the defining terms are themselves open to interpretation. I mean, why is the difference between "routine" and "easy" a difference of 25% likelihood of success? Using the SRD's...

Agreed. I enjoyed playing Spelljammer (well, DMing it, I didn't get to play much back then, and my players were all drooling fans), but quite a bit of it doesn't work too well, especially not with post-2e rules. I'd probably re-read all the published material and then set it aside and start...

We need more of this: Dave

Of all the dice, the d12 tends to roll off the table more than any other (even the d20, for some reason). At least, this is the case with my dice. I like that it gives the ability to represent halves, thirds and quarters all with one die (and sixths to boot!). The d20 is, of course, equally...

Wait, what?! Dave

When I was a kid, playing 1st edition, and had nothing better to do, I took a character up to 67th level (Paladin 33, Wizard 34, using the old dual-classed rules). I had a small group of friends, we played pretty much every weekend or more, and did this partly for the exercise of dreaming up...

The PDF link isn't working for me. Dave

I don't know anything about retail businesses, so, take this with that proviso. I would open at the end of August. I know this means after 4e comes out. But, here's my reasoning. 1) You have colleges nearby, so summer will be slower than the rest of the year. 2) GenCon is in August, so...

I made a list of all the feats my players deemed "useless." Then I told them that their characters could take any one of them (for which they qualified) at 7th level and then another one at 13th level. This has been a great way to get them to shoot for some extra flavor, and it's given some of...

Consider my post the equivalent of walking in on a group of folks, blurting this out, and then walking away. :) I was just thinking out loud and thought that thinking out loud was louder when I actually posted. ;) I guess what I'm getting at is something like what's in Unearthed Arcana...
