    New RPG News Site

    With the demise of the Gaming Report, I have decided to put my toe in the water and reserve www.roleplayingnews.com. My initial thought is to build the site with WordPress and use some sort of 'news' theme, but I wanted to throw it out there to you guys. What would you like to see in a general...

    At Gencon, Did you learn or try anything new?

    Had fun at the con. - Ran Pathfinder Interactive on Fri and Sat night. Paizo guys were enthusiastic but the whole thing was a chaotic mess. There was not enough time to run the encounters and logistics were a nightmare. Hope they do better next year. - Worked at the Kenzer & Company booth...

    Chicago Gameday XXIII is July 18th: SIGN UP!

    I hate to do this but I am going to have to cancel my afternoon HackMaster Basic game. I have a terrible eye infection that is spreading to both eyes. I can hardly see now and it probably will get worse. I also don't want to expose anyone to my grunge. Please accept my deepest apologies.

    Is 3.0 Playable?

    Sorry. It was a COBOL joke. It basically stands for "Working Storage variable Edition War equals No". It was my way of saying that I didn't want the thread to devolve into an edition war...

    Is 3.0 Playable?

    Ok. First things first: WS-EDITION-WAR = 'N' Now that I have that out of the way, I have a question. I can pick up the 3.0 books cheaply. Is there any reason that I shouldn't use them? Is a game using just the 3.0 books playable (and hopefully enjoyable)? Your experiences and/or opinions...

    Chicago Gameday XXIII is July 18th: SIGN UP!

    Afternoon HackMaster Basic Game I am trying to determine whether or not to make the afternoon session HackMaster Basic game a true 'learn to hack' and actually let players create their own characters (if they like) at the table. If you are playing, please respond and let me know if you would...

    3.5 Player's Handbook Outselling 4E PH!!

    Hmm...I don't agree. The numbers are remarkably stable, especially among the top 25. I check the list every couple of days and I see very few significant shifts. This is the first time that I have EVER seen the 3.5 PH overtake the 4.0 PH in sales rank. I am not implying any paricular...

    3.5 Player's Handbook Outselling 4E PH!!

    It's true. Take a look at the Amazon Gaming bestseller list: Amazon.com Books Bestsellers: The most popular items in Gaming. Updated hourly. In fact, ALL THREE 3.5 core books are outselling their 4E counterparts right now. Before the hate starts...Yes, I realize this doesn't necessarily...
