    Not Your Father's D&D

    I am a 1st generation gamer, but I am raising a brood of 2d generation gamers, ages 7, 5, and 3. This past weekend, we spread out all the maps for the World's Largest Dungeon on the living room floor. The 5 year old is working on his letters and numbers, so he would pick a room that he thought...

    Worlds Largest Dungeon (on the cheap?)

    I did the $40 deal on Amazon, and used a $25 gift card, so I came out pretty good. Figuring it would just be cool to have, once I started reading the thing I had to run it. My online group needed a break from our regular campaign over the summer, so we started WLD. Now we plan to keep it going...

    What a shock! Beginners luck for me, I guess. I see Jaws and Keryn have picked Philly tonight, and I have the Falcons, so we will have a clear leader in the morning. Now to start the caffeine build so I can stay up for the game.

    Loving Order of the Stick

    Another big fan of OotS. Love the Stick. Miss SnarfQuest and Wormy though. Any of them online anywhere?

    Regardless of the outcome, I figured we would all be tied this morning, either at 1-0 or 0-1. I've gotten to the age where I can't stay up past my bedtime too often, so I only make exceptions for my favorite teams or big games. The Braves already kept me up late the night before with an...

    The Spell Compendium!!! Thanks Wizards!

    Thanks for the info, Jer. This is looking like the only WotC book I'll buy this year. Is that odd? I probably have half of the spells already, but rarely spend the time digging thru magazines and splat books. And I have only 1 of the Complete books, no Races books, really nothing WotC since...

    I picked the Bengals to win because they drafted David Pollack from my beloved Georgia Bulldogs. Otherwise, I know nothing about the team this year.

    Got my picks in. Think I took the favorite in every game, except Monday night. Go Falcs!

    Why punish a player if they can't come to the game?

    Great debate, without getting too heated or devolving into name calling. I think the obvious conclusion it that there is no right answer. We all do what is right for our group. Hopefully, everyone eventually ends up with a group that handles this, and other issues, in a way that is suitable to...

    Why punish a player if they can't come to the game?

    Mr. Gibbons put it pretty well from my perspective. Most DMs I see these days give an option. If you are going to miss a game then you have three choices: have your PC find an excuse not to be around for the session, have another player run your PC, or have the GM/referee run the PC. I usually...

    The market dying?

    I am the opposite of this. I find that the less time I actually play D&D the more I buy, to compensate and give me my gaming "fix". When I am playing regularly I am able to resist temptation, and actually buy less.

    What's the Opposite of GM's Day? (Free PDF Weekend!)

    Around my office it appears that the weekend has begun. People tend to sneak out early for 3-day weekends. I hear crickets chirping in the hall. Mayb they will cover the sound of my footsteps as I sneak out too.

    Diaglo, you're famous (Wilderland's Boxed set)

    And take his stuff! Great idea. He has lots of stuff in his treasure room.

    The market dying?

    As others have mentioned, there was time when I bought all kinds of stuff, and devoured it. Then I realized I was buying supplements and never getting around to really reading them, much less acually using them in a game. I went to only buying used (from the EN World forum mostly, and some...

    Diaglo, you're famous (Wilderland's Boxed set)

    Man, that is cool. I was on the fence about Wilderlands, but I guess I have to buy it now.

    Your Gas Price

    As diaglo mentioned, I also saw a few gas stations that are closed because their tanks are empty. Fill up before you head out for DragonCon this weekend, and fill up again before you get inside the city. There is no reason to panic, there are still plenty of stations that have gas. But remember...
