Each Adventure Scene is a detailed setting that can be dropped into any adventure path. All DM’s want to provide the best play experience for their players, but frequently lack the time. Adventure Scenes provide a highly detailed location, with fully developed NPC’s and new items that provide...

I would guess this is relating to convention/tournament judges. I have a friend I used to push mini's with and was surprised to read on a FB post that WoTC was flying him across the country to judge at a big tournament. I had always assumed it was more 'volunteer' and less 'professional'. I...

It was an idea whose time had come. No doubt several individuals skirted around the edges, but EGG took it to fruition. It could just has easily been someone else across the finish line first.

Fair enough. During 4th edition I was DMing my step-son and his friends, ages 12-14, so that probably accounts for my experience. They were children of the CCG era and tended to play D&D that way. I am sure if I was running the group of adults I currently DM, it would have been a different...

Yes. Each class had a stack of cards with actions (with varying recharge rates) and combat became very min/max in that you wanted to synergize your cards (actions) with the other cards (in this case usually played by other players, sometimes by you). Granted, you didn't need to physically use...

More than anything else, I think it was because everything was new! As an 11 y.o. playing in 1978 there wasn't much out there relating to fantasy 'culture'. The main source was novels, a few magazines, and almost no movies (stop action Jason and the Argonauts! lol). My friends and I devoured...

THIS would get me to a FLGS! I like the idea so much, I may stop by my FLGS this week and suggest it to them. I was just thinking last night about how I sometimes design an adventure but don't have a specific mini. I don't really need it, but it would add to the session. Since I tend to plan...

I bought almost all my early D&D stuff at the bookstore at the mall (1979-85ish). Both the bookstore and the mall are now dead. The big advantage brick and mortar retailers have over online sellers is the ability to browse the product before purchasing. Now that many online retailers give you...

You want to play a hobbit? OK, but you don't get to leave your starting village. Everyone knows hobbits don't like to travel. You want to play a wizard? OK, as soon as one of the current 5 wizards in the world dies off (assuming they don't come back a different color of course) Etc. Loved the...

This is the type of decision you needed to make a long time ago, and you did, by admitting you already fudge. The above scenario is exactly why I roll in the open whenever possible. Here is how I look it: No risk, no reward. The play experience is minimized when the players know they will...

And that is why we ended up with unions. Of course, certain lawmakers are legislating unions out of existence in the U.S., but that is topic not appropriate to this forum.
