    Wizards of the Coast Completes Acquisition of TSR Inc

    Why does this acquisition still feel like yesterday? I mean, it's been 20 years...

    When the Sharks Finally Catch You: The Death of Geek Chic

    I just bought a CGT tablezilla last month, it's slated to come in a few months, after I saw their tables at Origins. I just didn't need all of the gewgaws and knick-knacks in a geek chic table, along with all of the added costs. I just need a table with a wide rail for laptops that has a...

    The Godsmouth Heresy - Pathfinder PBP [OOC] [FULL]

    I'd also be interested if you need one more. I'd be interested in playing, say a halfling Fey Bloodline Sorceror.

    D&D 4E [4E Players, mainly] Ever thought of defecting to Pathfinder?

    We've primarily been a 3 and 3.5 E group through 2008. We played 3.5 and 4 in separate games until a few weeks ago, when my players narrowly voted 4E off of the island by a vote of 5-3 (Yes, I have 8 players). We had played a variety of 4E games, including the Scales of War AP, but they never...

    How Often Do You Cancel Sessions?

    We've only really cancelled in the past few months for the week of Christmas, and for any bad snow or ice storms. since all of the players live more than 5 miles from the host's house. We rotate DMs on a bi-weekly basis, and if one isn't around, the other can easily take over. Add to that the...

    Scales of War - Feedback and Advice

    We are about halfway through Haven of the Bitter Glass (8/18). The high point so far has been the end of The Temple Between, the players ate it up. The low point was the string of encounters at the end of Mottled Tower. Too much like a railroad, and too many encounters in a row. The big...

    Doing the Monster Math for the original MM

    So I am pretty new to the art of making new monsters (and 4e in general), and do have some confusion about the new tables. What does this mean for monsters that are obviously using the Low tables on the old chart? Up the damage to the new chart and full speed ahead? Or modulate the new...

    Help me make WotC adventures better.

    To be fair, this information was also presented in a sidebar in another hardback, I think, almost 4-6 months before the Epic adventure was released. I couldn't tell you where, exactly, as I'm at work and I don't have the books in front of me. Of course, in my game, the heroes completely...

    Why I am giving up on Scales of War

    It's a real issue. I started SoW back in January last year, and play about 4 hours every two weeks as well (actually it's a little more than that), and we are just finishing up with Den of the Destroyer. I think we should be able to get a good way into Chapter 6 with the two sessions we have...

    Running a casual lunchtime game.

    Being blessed with a bunch of gamers at work, I'm contemplating a lunchtime game that would run an hour a day for three days a week. I know from reading the Wizards page that they encourage lunch gaming, but I was wondering if many people here have done or tried this, and what strategies that...

    The Spellplague - what do we know/speculate about it?

    Yep. I read it a couple of weeks ago. It's partially set in the future, but most of it is set in 1372/3 DR in the north.

    The Lies of Locke Lamora

    Did anyone else here dig this book as much as I did? I really like this book. The sequel, Red Seas Under Red Skies is out tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to making the run to Borders to pick it up. If you like a little bit of Oceans Eleven(an elaborate con game) mixed in with your...

    Malazan: should I keep going?

    I think the end of the march is one of the Top 10 set pieces in Fantasy Literature. I also think that the end of the next book has a set piece that isbetter than the end of Deadhouse Gates. But if you don't like his style, Deadhouse Gates is pretty much the style of the rest of the series...

    Civ IV: Beyond the Sword...

    Got it last night, and played the first 1/4 of a Marathon Huge game. Random events currently rock my world. After getting sneak attacked by a Friendly Kublai Khan, I get a random event popup: "A runner exemplifies the determination of your civilization by running from the border to your...

    Wizards 2008 releases?

    I have half suspected for a few weeks now (I'm a bit slow), that after the Grand History of the Realms, there might not be any more Realms books, or at the very least, some sort of grand concluding product for the realms in '08. With the death of so many characters, a flurry of huge Realm...
