I want to see what this can do.

Another update -- a TERRIFIC tumblr post about the Harmontown tour and Spencer -- good discussion of Harmon's Campbell-based Story Circle, too. Well worth a read: http://winrosenfeld.tumblr.com/post/42439256108/the-dungeon-master-and-the-story-circle-the-story-of

First, no, we have not had any problems with it being on it's back, although you need to make sure that if you do this you get an LCD/LED TV, not a plasma screen -- plasma screens must stay upright to work. I have plans for a table I'm hoping to have built that would allow the TV to be raised...

I've thrown on a couple of pictures so you can get an idea. The table is two crappy plastic folding tables (legs bungeed together for a more stable base). The TV is one designed to be mounted on a wall, so it lays pretty flat, but I needed to put books under the four corners -- luckily, the 4e...

I'm going to pitch hard for the TV option. We're 6 months into playing on the TV surface, and it's almost all good. It's amazing what a relief it is to get rid of the noise projectors kick out, for one thing. And depending upon your rig, it's actually a lot simpler than the projector to deal...

I think there is a very interesting model for the future of Tabletop D&D to be found in some of the freemium models that are out there. They might offer the basic game free as a download -- core classes, no specialties, etc -- to try to get people interested in the game. That's not even very...

This, and this again. I think THEY think they are demonstrating the game mechanics to us, but if we were really interested in entertainment, we wouldn't worry much about mechanics at all. -rg

It was a good show -- got me interested in Dragon Age mechanics (the stunt system sounds cool). Tabletop is a good show -- the episodes on Fiasco were good enough to convince me to get my group to give it a try. Wil gets a little smirky and smug when he's talking to the camera -- I'd like him...

In general, advantage in combat comes from special abilities and spells, although there are some conditions that grant advantage or disadvantage -- check out the conditions in the "how to play" section. Remember, the game has no tactical module yet -- we don't have rules for flanking, for...

Actually, it's the 9th level feat from Two Weapon Specialist, called Two Weapon Strike. (Top of page 11 in the specialties and feats section) -rg

I played the 9th level rogue in the Winter Fantasy playtest area, and he kicked out a arse-ton of damage -- overshadowing the barbarian in the party. He was able to get advantage on his melee attacks basically at will (two weapon fighting benefit), and so on just about every attack he had the...

Just a side note -- I'm listening to the Minneapolis (#37) episode right now, and a rep from FFG showed up and got a plug in the show -- and apparently gave Spencer his card. I'll say it again -- this is exactly the sort of things the hobby needs -- demonstrations of the real fun of playing...

It makes a HUGE difference. I ran the Battle Interactive with a combination of iPad and paper, and it worked great.
