    IPhone 4s = overanticipated

    Siri is the potential game-changer and with the 4S, it is released in beta form. By the time Apple iron's out the kinks, the LTE chipset will be a more manageable size and perhaps a few new goodies can be thrown in. I have always watched iOS, as a tool for home automation/assistive technology...

    Steve Jobs has passed away :(

    Somewhere around 1979-1980, my folks bought our first home computer, an Apple ][+. After that, I had an Apple //gs, Mac Quadra 900, PowerMac 8500,and a handful of PowerBooks. From that point I got married and started a family. Numerous iMacs, desktop Macs (G3, G4, G5), iBooks, MacBooks...

    Dilemna: Should I Quit RPGs?

    Kaodi, If I can have a wife, seven kids, a job, my 20-acre hobby farm, AND run my Sunday night online game in which YOU are a player, you can learn to multi-task as well ;) As for the out of doors, try playing hide-and-seek with the local fey population. The ones around here are very, very...

    The Future of Computers in D&D

    On the contrary, when AI is incorporated into D&D, we DMs won't need players anymore. ;)

    A Group Gone.

    Nature of the beast with online games, I'm afraid. Still, you can always run games for your NPCs! ;) “I don't need you. I can do this act alone. I often do." - Steve Martin

    Why we need new monsters

    Some campaigns exclude the use of the full monster list; aquatic games for example. Granted, I set my current game underwater in part because I enjoy making things up. :) Flumphs are LG. They aren't supposed to be scary. I retooled the flumphs as uphlum, relative to the aboleth and mind...

    What stops WotC from *also* selling 3.5?

    Instead of selling 3.5e, imagine what would happen if they gave it away. What if WotC declared most of 3.5e as Open Content, then revised the d20 SRD to include the wealth of material from other 3.5e supplements? Would it hurt 4e? Would it hurt Pathfinder? Would Paizo be tempted to absorb the...

    DC Comics Reboot

    Brother (Doctor) Voodoo gets the reboot love? Nice! As for Aquaman, I am worried... After what I heard of Starfire's treatment, I fully expect to see Aquaman in a mankini. edit: See what happens when I post before coffee? I get Marvel in my DC! ;) To be fair, I stopped collecting in 1993 or...

    Pathfinder and 4e's love child, what I want in 5e

    Actually, 3e fans still have 3e ;) I started my current game in 2007 and did not want to end the game, as 4e suggested, to prepare for the new edition.

    [3.5e] Undersea Adventures: "Heirs of Turucambi"

    "Heirs of Turucambi", now a mid-level campaign, is recruiting for new blood! PCs begin with 45,010 XP and must have a natural swim speed as well as the ability to breathe underwater without the use of magic. I allow use of all WotC 3.5e books and supplements, so long as they are intended for...

    Pathfinder and 4e's love child, what I want in 5e

    What 5e needs is a good first impression. The 2e core rulebooks seemed "dummied-down", to me, so I stuck with 1e. The 4e core rulebooks would not allow me to run the game I had in mind without a boatload of work, so I stuck with 3.x. 5e needs to appeal to grognards, new gamers, and potential...
