I have a ton of Dwarven Forge, and I love it and use it as often as possible. I'm going to buck the trend here and go with build-as-you-go, with a couple of tips to speed things up. First, I've made a bunch of mid-sized pieces by permanently gluing smaller pieces together. For example, I made...

Sounds awesome. This has been my experience too. Both of the D&D campaigns I play in include one or two people new to the game (or long-lapsed players); all have really gotten into it.

While I don't want to shoot down the idea of support through DDI (which I think is a good one), this is a misconception that fuels, among other things, a lot of the debate on PDF pricing. Production costs are a relatively small factor when it comes to publishing on WotC's scale. Development...

Hi, Jeff, glad you had fun, welcome aboard, and I look forward to your ongoing observations! I've had a lot of the same issues, and I won't be abandoning some of my other games for 4E. But in my experience 4E is really optimized for a particular type of game, and these issues are not so...

Very good advice. I learned a few things, and I'll pass this on to both of my current GMs for their edification as well!

The thing is, everybody's experience is narrow. Unless you move around a lot or are a fanatical con-goer, you've probably gamed with the same dozen people (or maybe the same four) for years. And when other gamers have joined that clan, they've been brought in by the existing members, so are...

For the past few days, we've had the honour of hosting Keith Baker on the first (I think) European stop of his world tour. I believe I can report a success, and I think Keith is going to have a great time, along with the many gamers who will be hosting him over the coming months. It turns out...

Just played Over the Edge last night!

I'd be careful about generalizing this experience. I've certainly known women (and men) who fit that description. But I know plenty of women who are much more into the combat than the fluffy stuff. I played Over the Edge last night (how's that for a blast from the past?). It was wild, wacky...

Have you told us about your character? If not, what are you waiting for??? You only have two days left (until close of business Friday, 12 June) to stake your claim on a free trip to Gen Con Indy, 13-16 August in Indianapolis, USA. You know you want it: Four days of wall-to-wall games, an...

I have to confess, even after 30 years of playing D&D I haven't the first clue. But I'm having a lot of fun reading the speculation, though, and can't wait for someone to come up with the answer. Great catch on the foreshadowing, whoever.

So, have you told us about your character? If not, you're missing your shot at a free trip to Gen Con in the US this August. You have less than two weeks to submit your entry, and stake your claim to the Best Four Days in Gaming. I have the passes right here at my desk, and they could soon be...

Hi, all-- To my profound regret, I wasn't able to be at the Eclectic WWDDGD event. I've heard it went really well, though, and it sounds like the attendees and the good folk at Eclectic all had a good time. Since I wasn't there, if you attended the event, I'd like to hear any comments you'd be...

Hello, UK gamers-- Fancy a trip to Gen Con this summer? Well, here's a little promotion we've put together for D&D here in the UK that gives you just that chance: Tell us about your character, and you could win a trip to Gen Con in the US this August, or one of a bunch of other cool prizes...

I'm a friend of The Rouse.

Keefe has already addressed this, and Scott's given instructions on how to do it, but I'll reiterate. This adventure is FREE. To ANYONE who signs up. Signing up might be a tiny bit of a hassle. But it's not really any more hassle than going out to buy the adventure. And it's FREE. Oh, and you...

Yep. Fortunately, our kids haven't quite figured that out yet. . . .

Hi, all-- I just came back from a meeting with Eclectic, and holy mackerel what an event they're putting together! Doors open at 10AM and the event runs until 6. There will be several tables running the Silver Caves adventure, along with a drop-in Delve running the entire time and side games...

Hi, all-- Just a small revision to the list above: I've added House of Heroes in Loughborough.

No, quite the contrary. While we've been able to get most books out by the published release dates, sometimes they don't reach us in time. So every few months we're late.
