    D&D 4E How do you feel about 4E right *now*? (week of 1/21/08)

    Weakly thumbs-down right now, but really still undecided/neutral. I have not liked much of what I've heard so far (it sounds like old standbys and favorites would be hard to convert, the game may be considering powers and combat over overall class design, and fluff updates I personally feel are...

    Opinions on True20

    If you don't want to wait for the Revised, I think the Pocket edition has a much clearer layout in terms of mechanics. I really like True20. I like that it throws much of the "optimum character build" stuff out of the window, with feat prereqs largely (I say largely) gone. I also think it...

    D&D 4E Which old setting would you like to see revamped for 4E?

    More Greyhawk, be it 4e, 3.x, 3.75, or True20. :)

    D&D 4E How is the 4e announcement affecting your game groups?

    I have 6 players at current (running a streamlined Rolemaster RMSS/FRP campaign). 3 are definitely negative on what they've heard so far (core class/race changes, mechanics, style, and the somewhat questionable tone of some of the press releases/developer statements). 2 aren't overtly...

    lorraine williams

    I know Kevin S. is busy, but he's run at the Palladium Open House the last two years and at least the last 3 conventions he's attended, to include Gen Con Indy (further back than that, I think). So that's not really true. I didn't want to drive the thread off-tangent, but having sat in on one...

    Free PDF Weekend!

    Thanks to all the participating publishers! What a cool thing to do! I thank you! It'd be nice to see a few more companies jump on board with this, too. :)

    What 3E Core Races have you used and LIKED?

    I usually prefer to play humans, but I also dig gnomes. I believe I've also played a dwarf at least once. Not an elf or half-elf fan at all.

    Well, thank you! I've got a bit more to post tomorrow--er, today, technically, then I'll go into a coma for about the next week. :)

    What else is happening at GenCon?

    I've been liveblogging from the show, if that's any help. I promised I'd post a link, and this is as good a thread as any: Zachary's Gen Con Report

    ENnies - Why should I go

    Time to hang out with friends, hear some funny moments during the acceptance speeches, that sort of thing. I like to see people happy when they win, regardless of if it was a product I voted for or not.

    2008 ENnies Judge Nom Q&A Thread

    Well, in keeping with my pledge of honesty, openness, and transparency, I would answer insofar as it concerned me. However, since I'm a judge, and not a board member, it shouldn't involve me much at all. Simply speaking, that's not a judge's domain. It would be my job to evaluate products to...

    ENnies 2008 Judge Voting is Open

    I'll tell you what, it made me really think about this before committing to it. It also gave me a lot of ideas as far as what I wanted to do to make my prospective judgeship and process really open, transparent, and public. The guy's awesome, what can you say? :D (And maybe I got a little...

    Storage for Individual Minis

    I use baggies for my paper/cardboard counters, and a compartmentalized light toolbox for my counters. That way, it looks like I'm being handy around the house, even when I'm just goofing off...

    Best of luck to the other nominees! May the best candidates win! I know I'm "new blood" to a lot of you, so if you have any questions outside of my Q&A before voting, I'll gladly answer what I can. I'm here to be as open, accessible, and honest as possible! :D <gets off stump :o >...
