    ePawn

    I'm sure a couple years down the road they'll have something better with bigger dimensions and a bit flatter, perfectly suited to use as a digital map on the table. But for now, we've got this ePawn and it's not too bad. I just wish I could afford it!

    ePawn

    ePawn at E3 2011 - E3 2011 Gaming Hardware and Accessories on GameSpot My current D&D group has been talking about how we would like to have something like a big touch pad to have a digital dungeon map on, and then we could put monster tokens/miniatures on it. Well, this device is exactly what...

    D&D 4E How did 4e take simulation away from D&D?

    I actually DO want to run a game and have them try it, but I can't seem to get it across to them that there is more freedom to the rules now. Example: Player B doesn't like that there is no Chaotic Good alignment because now she can't play a succubus character, which requires to be chaotic...

    D&D 4E How did 4e take simulation away from D&D?

    Sorry for taking such a long time to reply to my own thread! I've been trying to get some friends to try 4e so I can run an experimental game, but they seem to believe that 4e is inferior to 3.5. It's all the stuff taken out of 4e that makes it less fun to role play, like less alignments and...

    D&D 4E How did 4e take simulation away from D&D?

    I'm a big fan of 3.5 and enjoyed the variety of things you could do to make a game of D&D more realistic, yet creative. I'm disappointed that WotC took a lot of simulation away in 4e, so I've found it not as enjoyable to play. But what exactly has WotC done with 4e to take that simulation away...

    DDM Line Axed

    I'm sad to see them go. I was just starting to get into minis. They're a lot of fun to collect and use! I guess tokens are a lot cheaper and easier to come by, though, and I just got a set of them recently.

    D&D 4E 4E Dislike - a hypothesis

    This is true to my current 3.5 DM. She grew up with 3.0 and 3.5, so whenever I mention 4.0 she leers at me like it killed her dog. But today I had to find some rules on a ranger having a griffon for a mount while also having a dire boar for an animal companion, and she got very annoyed that I...

    Anti-GMS: Computer Games on the Wane, RPG sales up.

    I expect sales to be down for a lot of things right now. Many countries are suffering from USA's debt and China's low yuan rate, so of course people will be buying less luxury items like games. I think it would do Atari some good (and possibly WotC) if they re-released all the D&D games on...

    New web-based content?

    I did what the instructions said, but unfortunately it didn't fix the problem. Those same updates keep popping up. I've tried everything from reinstalling the service pack, deleting update files, to trying to manually register the updates. Looks like the only way to fix it is to either buy a non...

    New web-based content?

    Unfortunately, I have an AMD processor, so it's not possible to fix. The problem is that Windows tries to install a security update and it never registers, so it keeps trying to install it over and over including every update after that. The CB needs one of those updates.

    New web-based content?

    I can't use the DDI tools because of a .NET update glitch to Windows XP SP3, so a web-based version would be great.

    It's Almost the Season for WOTC layoff!

    It's not very nice to talk about peoples' careers ending from layoffs, even if it will happen. As someone who enjoys the elements of game design, art, and storytelling, I can understand how much it could suck to lose a job like that.

    D&D 4E Is Essentials Compatible with Old School 4ed?

    The point of the Essential classes is not to replace the old classes, but to give you more options, such as different roles for the classes. I believe the wizard in PH1 was a striker, while the wizard in HoFL is a controller. The options in Essentials are rather limited if you remove the...

    Dungeon Tiles Master Set - The City

    Yeah, I received an e-mail from Amazon today that they really won't be getting the item until November 16th. I decided to cancel my order for now.

    Caverns of Icewind Dale tiles

    Yep, and we're getting some swamp tiles next year too. Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Product (Dungeon Tiles: The Witchlight Fens) I predict after that we'll get volcano tiles!

    Dungeon Tiles Master Set - The City

    I hope they do more sets though with some reprints because I started collecting tile sets really late. Would be nice if they could keep all tile sets in print or group them together and repackage them. I know they have all the .pdf files to make it possible.

    Dungeon Tiles Master Set - The City

    I sent them an e-mail along with a link to the product (Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Product (Dungeon Tiles Master Set: The City)) so hopefully they'll fix the mistake. Just in case, you might want to do the same.

    Dungeon Tiles Master Set - The City

    The pier tiles look like they'd fit nicely with some of the Desert of Athas tiles.

    Dungeon Tiles Master Set - The City

    I ordered this set from amazon.com but for some reason they think it isn't released until November 16th. I even sent them a request to change the date to October 19th last week and they sent me back an e-mail saying they would change it in a few business days but I've seen no change. If I don't...

    Essentials: Druid Preview Is Up!

    I was hoping they'd bring back animal companions in Essentials. This is good news!
