    Why does John McCain hate D&D players?

    Yah. On Sunday, I am hoping to run either: 1) Mutants & Masterminds - superheroes with the players making their own this time, instead of me making them. 2) True20 - Continuing our modern crime/espionage game from a few weeks ago. 3) D&D - The Return to Elemental Evil characters or the old Gran...

    Ohmigod. That is hilarious. Did you Photoshop those?

    Why does John McCain hate D&D players?

    So Republicans try to win influence with Intimidate and Bluff checks, Democrats with Bluff and Diplomacy checks and the voters are left to Gather Information to find out what the truth is.

    Why does John McCain hate D&D players?

    Another one. "McCain spokesman Michael Goldfarb recently compared the (NYT's) editors to a blogger, “sitting at home in his mother's basement and ranting into the ether between games of Dungeons & Dragons.” Seriously. WTF? Maybe it IS just Goldfarb who hates D&D players. But why let him use...

    Why does John McCain hate D&D players?

    To be even more fair, it is Goldfarb on McCain's official campaign blog. It's not like he is unattached to the McCain campaign. I just don't understand the mentality behind it. They have apparently been hitting on this for a week or so. Did someone, somewhere do some polling that said "ridicule...

    Why does John McCain hate D&D players?

    Seriously. Apparently this is a theme they are hitting on, calling out Obama supporters as D&D players. I mean, what the heck is this about? I certainly haven't seen that gamers are particularly liberal, or that in today's day and age that being a game player is somehow bad?!? "It may be...

    GenCon Results

    I had no idea your brother was sick. How did we stay in the same room all weekend, but I never heard your brother was sick? Hope everything is going well.

    GenCon Results

    I am assuming you are asking about the board gamers, but I had a very good con. I had two games of Mutants & Masterminds I ran that went very well and seemed very popular with the players. I played in a game of Mutants & Masterminds that went pretty well (it was a wild martial arts style game)...

    Saturday, Aug. 2 The Heroes of Yoros

    Well, as of last night my Dad is back in the hospital. So, I probably will be heading down to New Albany again. For what it's worth, I'm getting really tired of this drive.

    A Question on Druids

    Perhaps they left out the Druid because all of what you are talking about sounds dangerously close to back story and character motivation. I am guessing a Druid's powers don't naturally break into neat little combat chunks, which makes him class-non-grata for D&D4e. The same with the Bard, I...

    A Question on Druids

    I always thought Druids just talked animals into walking up to them, befriending the cute, fuzzy creatures of the woods. Then, when the shy, trusting critters crept close enough.. the druids would use their sickles to lop their little heads off.

    Bat Battle: Who's The Best Movie Batman?

    I guess I am just less forgiving of the goofy style Batman. My list of "video" Batmen would be: 1. Michael Keaton 2. Christian Bale 3. Gotham Knights Batman (Batmen?) 4. Val Kilmer 5. Batman: The Animated Series (Kevin Conroy voice) 6. Justice League series Batman (Kevin Conroy voice) 7. Batman...

    New Game - Characters

    Heya folks, Please count me out on Saturday. I just spoke to my Dad and he is hoping to get out of the hospital tomorrow (Friday) and I will be heading down to New Albany to help him out.

    New Game - Characters

    I was kind of wondering the same things myself. When/where? I'm not 100 percent positive I can even play, since my dad is back in the hospital.

    Green Ronin opts out of 4e

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking of. Although their Pathfinder RPG, Pathfinder adventures and Gamemastery materials all look top notch too.

    Green Ronin opts out of 4e

    I don't have any feel for that, but I suspect GenCon will reveal which way the wind is blowing. I'm sure the books are selling well, but whether people are switching, or just buying them to check it out like you, Chris and I have done, I dunno. I really only have heard of a few companies that...

    Green Ronin opts out of 4e

    I think Green Ronin is arguably the second-best publisher of 3.0e and 3.5e material (behind only Paizo, in my opinion.) And they are currently my favorite game company. They announced they will not be supporting 4e except for a character folio. Good news for my Mutants and Masterminds and...

    I just spoke to Ben and he is hoping to come on Saturday too. Don't know if he can make it or not.
