Short answer... YES!!! It's hard to find people to game with and to coordinate schedules. Provided they have a decent tool for hooking up with like minded gamers, it could be exactly what I've been looking for for a long time. I don't game a lot, mostly because of time / group finding issues...

I'm 33 years old and I recently just read my first Dragonlance book (Dragons of Autumn Twilight). Do these books get any better than this? I don't read a huge amount of fantasy literature, so I don't really have a baseline I guess. I have read LOTR and some of George Martin's work. These...

Target lists the books also, but it looks like they have a deal where they get them through Amazon (similar to Borders online). However, if you have any Target gift cards lying around, this might be a good way to use those up.

I'd like to see a Forgotten Realms compatable Oriental Adventures book that deals with Monks (and other Asian inspired classes) in a very substantive way. The 3.0 / 3.5 book was pretty well done, but seemed like a big marketing ploy to get people to buy a million Legend of the Five Rings cards...

Wow... that could be something. That is quite a world he created there. Those stories are intense and not for the faint of heart. I could see fans of Lost being into that movie big time. Is there anyone else who envisions Eberron, especially Xen'drik, looking / feeling a lot like Hyperion...

This is a great idea. There is a lot of good stuff in each one of these settings, but maybe not enough great stuff to warrant an entire line of products. If the book took off, they could do some suplements for each of the settings covered. If not, they probably sell enough to make out ok...

Seems like they've released quite a bit of info, just maybe not in a traditional way. With 3e they did a lot of the preview releases through Dragon. With that having sort of gone away for awhile, they've done it a bit differently. First off, they have released two whole books that are all...

I think this is part of the problem. I know this has for sure been a barrier to me over the years being involved in RPGing to the level I would like. When I was a kid, if I wanted to play basketball, I would just walk to the park and eventually someone would show up and we would play. RPGs...

Exactly. This looks like the start of some sort of viral marketing campaign, intended to draw interest in an already planned episode or to drive Colbert's folks into agreeing to it (once they see that it has been a hot topic in the blogosphere). Either way, this seems like something Colbert...

I think WOTC should focus at least part of their marketing approach on attracting a wider audiene to RPG's in general. I realize it is going to be a very controversial statement, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be in WOTC's and the hobby in general's best interst long term to take...

I am not in publishing, but I've seen this question asked on other messageboards regarding other non-gaming topics (mostly political blogs) and the answer has always been that by the time the publishers get the material, review it, place it on their printing schedule, set the type, get the...

This poll is very telling. After looking at the message boards here over the past month or so, I was getting the impression that the vast majority of RPGers were hardcore against 4E. The poll results here indicate that almost 2/3 of the respondents have already bought into 4E. My assumption...

Isn't one of the big criticisms of WOTC that they basically made a few cosmetic changes to 3.5, stuck a new name on it, and forced everyone to pay again for a game system they already owned. In other words, there is something of an underlying resentment out there in certain circles against 4.0...

Quick question for The Rouse. I'm not sure if you can answer this or not (might be some sort of company secret) and it might be kind of a stupid and obvious question, but do you guys have a general plan for the entire arc of 4e in terms of products and supplements. In other words, internally...

A little off topic here, but I live in St. Paul and I'm currently looking to join or at least sit in with a game group. I'm mostly interested in a group that might be playing 3.5 now and is interested in starting up a 4th ed. game when it comes out. I'm available one night a week or every...
