Well, as I said, Tacticon/Genghis Con are the same website, so you probably found one con and figured that was it. :) As for OpusCon, they don't do much pre-con scheduling on the web for their gaming, but last year they had roleplaying, a ton of boardgaming, poker, and so on. It's not usually...

Reserve feats are an interesting idea. For some, they allow the party to adventure more between rests. (And if a party is able to figure out a way to rest securely or semi-securely every 4-5 encounters, then what's the difference between "Day 1: encounter 1, encounter 2, encounter 3, encounter...

I think the mitigating factors are these: The highest-level healing spell you can possibly have is half your casting class level and Using it is probably a standard action. So, you've got access to heal - 6th level spell, so you're what, an 11th level caser at the least? So, your wizard just...

Hmm. Well, for one thing, it sort of depends on how you plan to set up the campaign. FUDGE was originally generated for more or less human characters, so just swapping stats over is going to leave you with a lot of Superb+1 and Superb+2 type stuff, depending on what level you're swapping from...

Although you've got Genghis Con in the list, you should also add Tacticon - same group runs it as Genghis Con, so the web site is the same. Usually Labor Day weekend in Denver. Additionally there's Opus Con / Opus Fantasy Arts Festival, which has gaming as well on the side. website is...

Thanks for another cool overview of the magazine! I bet all the blind/deaf/etc liches either find a magical way to fix their problems or get taken out by other liches.

Ugh. I feel a little sick inside at hearing this news. Dragon magazine is something I've been reading - on and off - since I became a gamer. I tell you, I'm not happy with Wizards central right now.

I vote 'Just Fine' myself.

Hmmm. I've used the Flaws a few times, the alternative rules for specialized casters, and the fractional BAB and saving throws. I'm cool with Flaws - I like opening up another feat for my players. The alternative rules can be a bit powerful - I enjoyed playing a Conjurer who could summon as...

I'm going to call Ditto on both the wilderness and the Dungeon Accessories ideas. Another possibility is some sort of cave/tunnel style tiles. Or another idea is for round rooms.

I write on my tiles with my black marker every game, pretty much - although now that diagonal pieces are available in the newest set of tiles I won't have to do it as often. I don't have much trouble with wiping it off - sure, there's a faintly darker area where the line used to be, but you...

I didn't know ColdFusion when I started working here, but had to pick it up to help support new responsibilities as jobs shifted. What sort of Coldfusion development do you do?

It's older, but I've long been a fan of the Hoka stories by Poul Anderson and Gordon R. Dickson. Apparently it was recently reprinted by Baen as two volumes - "Hoka! Hoka! Hoka!" and "Hokas Pokas". The series involves a planet of teddy-bear like primitive aliens who get 'infected' by earth...

Cory Doctorow puts all of his novels online for free - I believe his website at http://www.craphound.com/ has everything he's written. Project Gutenberg has a lot of free fiction online. One of my personal likes is H. Beam Piper, and just about everything written by him is online under...

I've got mine sorted by size in ziplock bags.

I lay down the tiles when the room is unusual, or if I expect a combat to take place - otherwise, I just describe whatever corridor they're in. i don't prep them much - I just lay the tiles out on the GM area and pop them into place as needed.

So, where's this recosting revealed?

I'm often DMing, and at the moment I'm exclusively DMing. But sometimes I'm not DMing at all, so it varies...

Anyone know what the cost for making GR was? Releasing this in February seems to have been a good move for the studio.

Yeah, because in the 80's, no one was playing D&D with magical light swords, or wanted to make their own Jedi classes, or anything like that. In the 80's, our characters were all _original_, with restrained power levels, and didn't piss off the gamers who were older than us at all.
