    Seven-and-a-half minutes of THE HOBBIT!

    I am impressed. I think that Peter Jackson may have magic strike again. I wonder if Viggo Mortensen will appear as one of the Dunedain?

    Sounds like a great product.

    GenCon Attendance Sets Record with 41,000 attendees!

    I am pleased to see that Gen Con set an attendance record. I hope that the numbers continue to grow if only to counter the naysayers who predict the death of our hobby.

    D&D 5E Jonathan Tweet & Rob Heinsoo: Making their own 5th Edition?

    It is too early to tell what 5E will look like. I would prefer to have the entire gaming industry do well, and try to get some new people into the hobby. (I am delighted that my local Pathfinder Society Group got several new people lately -- including two under age 18.) So, I am interested in...

    Chicago Gameday 31 is 3/17: SIGN UP TO PLAY!

    Dragons at Dawn was fun, and I think that we adapted quickly to the old approach. I fear that we may have created some problems in Willow's regular campaign.

    Chicago Gameday 31 is 3/17: SIGN UP TO PLAY!

    GAMES PLUS This is what I get having two different boards open in my browsers and writing so late. Hmm, let's see if I messed up on the Paizo boards. This is almost as bad as calling the Greek god Hermes by the name Herpes. Curt, Rhett, Paulie and Floyd and the staff at Games Plus have...

    Pathfinder Review: Distant Worlds

    I plan on picking this up as well. It seems that you could have a wealth of stories just on one world alone, and can range from terribly dark (Eox) to fun planetary romps on Akiton and Castrovel.

    Thanks to the great and gracious folks at Lightspeed Hobbies for hosting another Gameday. Thanks to buzz for his hard work as an organizer. Thanks also to Willow and Mark CMG for being great GMs.

    MAR Barker 1929 - 2012, RIP

    Rest in peace, Professor Barker. You not only did much for our hobby but your academic efforts has perhaps helped people in different parts of our world better understand each other. There are few of the early pioneers of our hobby left. Let us thank those who are still with us and both...

    Chicago Gameday 31 is 3/17: SIGN UP TO PLAY!

    Sign me up for breakfast. I may just make the tail end for a bagel and some tea, but I will try to be there.

    Chicago Gameday 31 is 3/17: SIGN UP TO PLAY!

    I will bump the thread over on the Paizo boards and contact COWSGamers. Can someone contact some of the local meet up groups?

    Chicago Gameday 31 is 3/17: SIGN UP TO PLAY!

    Well, if the table space is available, I say the more games, the merrier. In the interim, let's get the word out on the Gameday. I just posted a thread over at Paizo's boards. Maybe this might help fill up a few more games.

    Level Titles

    I voted no, as some of the titles do not work well for certain characters or settings. So, if I am running a cleric of Thor, the title lama does not work. Or if I am playing a character modeled after the Three Musketeers, the Strongarm do not fit. The effort used for level titles, IMHO, could...

    Chicago Gameday 31 is 3/17: SIGN UP TO PLAY!

    Well, that is your choice, but would there be a problem scheduling something at 1 PM, due to other games and the lunch/dinner break? (Hmm, as the 2:30 break combines lunch and dinner, would it be best be called linner?)

    Chicago Gameday 31 is 3/17: SIGN UP TO PLAY!

    Sign me up for Morning Game 5: Keep on the Borderlands and Afternoon Game 3: Clearing the Castle.

    D&D 5E Who really IS the target audience of D&D Next?

    I think that you are right in that casual gamers are the target audience. I would suspect that they hope to capture at least some of the 3E and 4E crowd, but those may be very hard sells. From what I have read here and elsewhere, many of the 3E crowd has moved on to other games or are holding...

    Paizo Publishing's 10th Anniversary Retrospective—Year 1 (2002)

    It was great reading about the early days of a company that has become more of a success than its founders imagined. What I truly liked was the sense of a close knit team in the article. Here is to the next ten years for Paizo!

    We just had a PC die due to great roleplaying

    Evander Con Rhys, one of my old wizard PCs sacrificed himself by dropping a Mordenkainen's disjunction a much more powerful tyrannical wizard and reducing a man who sought to breed the perfect race of humans to a frightened man in his underwear. All the Emperor who controlled an army numbering...

    'Magic' the 'Largest Game Brand'

    Possibly Hasbro might think that WotC could dramatically increase the value of the Dungeons and Dragon brand, and may try to include peripheral products -- board games, books, toys and other merchandise -- into their calculations for the potential size of the brand.
