    NookColor - Is this the future of Ebooks for Gaming?

    This would be nice for reading paperback novels or even the Essentials digest-size format. For a magazine or full-size hardback I would prefer a larger screen. I've been tempted to buy an e-reader but I just can't let go of my books. The whole kinetic feel of a book just can't be replicated...

    Gamma World: Our First Session

    What I want to know is how Wizards resisted calling the Game Master the "Gamma Master." It's only two letters away. Excellent review, by the way.

    Why the Modern D&D variants will not attract new players

    My ten year old son learned how to play 4E after one gaming session. Now he's leveling up his PC in the character builder and trying to convince me that he should have a lizard mount because he can afford it. I gave it to him on the condition that he come up with a back story for how he got...

    5e what would you do?

    I agree with this. White Wolf is betting that their new MMO will be a big hit. They have a good developer and aren't trying to rush it out. There is definitely an audience for a game set in the modern world with supernatural elements. Their direct competitor is not Blizzard in this regard...

    5e what would you do?

    What you're describing has already been done multiple times in various editions. The only difference I see is you would have the "new" Red Box cover levels 1-10 and you would replace grids and minis with narrative description. I think WOTC have done a lot to address the concerns of players. A...

    5e what would you do?

    Hatred? ...really? Sorry but I just don't see the point in recreating older editions. Those books are readily available. My local used book store has multiple shelves full of them. You know how many shelves they have for 4e? One. It's tiny and it's always empty because no one is selling...

    5e what would you do?

    Oh, so were just dreaming. It's a "what if?" In that case, given that I had an unlimited budget and ran WOTC I would... Create an online database for players to maintain, upload and share character information. Another for DMs to share adventures, homebrew worlds, houserules, monsters...

    5e what would you do?

    All I see are armchair game developers that if given the opportunity would drive WOTC into bankruptcy and D&D into irrelevance with outdated ideas and pie in the sky revisions. There is nothing wrong with 4E as is. If you want a "classic" D&D then house rule it. Don't like tieflings and...

    D&D is now in (exceedingly awesome) commercial form

    I think the ad is awesome. It is meant to be nostalgic as well as appealing to new players. This is the whole dual purpose of the Red Box and Essentials. Bring back old players, bring in new players. How is this not obvious? If you think the ad will not appeal to kids you don't know much...

    [Lets's play] You're given total control of Dungeons & Dragons...

    I would continue the Essentials line and keep them in print as long as possible providing a low cost entry point for new players. Then print a collectors edition of all the Essentials material in hardback form for the diehard fans with some additional materials exclusive to the collectors...
