I'm a pretty big Nintendo fanboi. If it says 'Mario' or 'Zelda' on the cover, I'll buy it. I was the first on my block to buy the original Wii, and I loved it. I still pull it out from time to time. But when they announced the Wii U, I thought "Hmm, that's kinda weird. Well, I'll just wait until...

I have always ignored alignment almost entirely. As far as I'm concerned, the characters actions are their alignment.

I just finished Timebound by Rysa Walker. A YA book with a very tight, mind-bending time travel plot. Fast paced too. Also has a very interesting angle where the ability to use time travel devices is hereditary and must be inherited. One of the best time travel books I've read in a while.

It's all moot since blondes and redheads are going extinct. :p

Oh cool, where are you from? I'm from Jacksonville, Florida. Born in Georgia.

Well, one or two jokes are probably harmless, but if a redhead hears ginger jokes all the time, they are going to start to get annoyed by them, harmless or not. ALSO, while most of the people making the jokes will think that they are simply jokes, there will inevitably be one or two bigots who...

At one of my gaming group's sessions last year the topic of the 'morally ambiguous' party came up very informally and my players sounded like they were generally in favor of it. In preparation for our next adventure I decided to put together a survey using Google Forms (which is an excellent...

I think this is a peculiar form of discrimination that varies by region. I'm not a redhead, so maybe I just missed it, but I have never encountered any 'gingerism' in my region (Southeast US). But obviously it does happen, and it seems like it's a pretty serious thing in parts of the UK. It...

I think what you're talking about doesn't have much to do with the 5 rules or AEDU but with the 'roles' that 4e introduced. I liked roles, but it definitely required them to redefine the wizard a bit. I could see not everyone taking to it.

The philosophy behind AEDU As others have said, AEDU is just one way to implement a certain design philosophy. This, as I understand it, is the philosophy broken down into a few simple rules: All classes have interesting abilities to choose between in combat. Those abilities increase in power...

In XVoK's defense, he was doing this back when I was hanging out on the WotC community boards, like three years ago. He's had quite a long time to build up his edition warring habit. I'm sure that makes it hard to break!

So, basically it sounds like I can go back to not caring.

I see that there is a Guardians of the Galaxy movie coming out. I have to admit, despite being a Marvel fan I know pretty much nothing about it. What is it? Why is it cool? If I was going to pick up some of the comics, where should I start?

Ah, the seedy underworld of Canadian toilet smuggling!

Bullywugs! Evil frog people that live in swamps. I was first introduced to them in the second 4e Monster Manual. I think they are a cool enemy and something different for low level characters to fight.

Cannon fodder? Why yes, they are! :p

Yes. I do this to dump monsters into the 4eTurnTracker tool.

Erm, dailies have been around as long as wizards have had spells, so apparently SOMEONE can rationalize it.

Congress blocks light bulb efficiency standards as part of budget deal. Looks like 2014 isn't going to be the end of the road for the good old incandescent bulb after all. January 1st, 2014 was the day that new energy standards that require 25% more efficient light bulbs were supposed to go...

I have not tried the following, it's purely off the top of my head: if you want in-game RP awards, maybe try something like a reputation system. If there is an organization or guild the players want to belong to, perhaps they can rise through the ranks by means of reputation. Being highly...
