Actually, that isn't entirely true, at least not historically. They make their 4e data available via an API that's been used by a few fan developers -- for instance, the excellent Compendium App (iPhone and iPad) or the Power2ools website (www.power2ools.com). Sure, the license is a lot more...

As I've said in earlier columns, I think the digital tools are going to be really important. But the new game design seems to really be reaching for a much more old school game -- much more about imagination and less about carefully measured tactics. With that kind of game in mind, I don't know...

Today, while I write this, I'm preparing myself for Winter Fantasy (Jan 23-26, Fort Wayne Indiana). I'll be flying out there, playing and DMing for three full days, and hoping not to catch the damn flu that has been stalking me all season. The way we play at home is changing -- at least for...

I just posted a column about essentially this topic: http://www.enworld.org/forum/content.php?442-Gamehackery-Dungeonmaster-stars-tour-Harmontown Essentially, it's a podcast and live comedy show that includes a 15 minute segment of D&D. And the D&D segment is probably the most popular part of...

I'm VERY jealous -- I'm not able to make it to any of their shows on the tour (they're getting kinda close -- Kansas City is about 3.5 hours away -- but the day of the show is just impossible for me. Stupid day job. I should quit or something. If you get a chance, tell Spencer that John...

Look for "group memberships".

It might not look exactly like the dream you had of becoming famous as a dungeon master. But Spencer Crittenden is on tour all this month as "Dungeon Master to the Stars." And you're not. Chew on that while you're drawing up maps for your next session…. Beginnings Last July, Dan Harmon (Sarah...

What's funny is I was able to pick from Silver or Copper to display, but my membership is gold. ;) -rg

Actually, I have the same issue. I recently upgraded from copper to gold (and I think I actually have both active right now) but I don't show up as a supporter. -rg

I hear what you're saying -- I know that I still have a preference for paper for some things at the table (and I've got you beat in the old fogey department - I'm 45). But you're romanticizing paper. There are a ton of problems with paper as a delivery method. If I'm using the books to run a...

I absolutely love Patton Oswalt in this season. I'm laughing at just about everything he says and does. Awesome part, awesome casting.

Honestly, I love all my gadgets far more deeply than I should, but when it comes to tracking HP and running things at the table, I pretty much want pen and paper. That's one of the reasons I like the Livescribe stuff so much (and keep bringing it up). If I had the game content on my ipad, I'd...

Let's face it -- in the publishing world, RPG products are a bit of an anomaly -- they're both text and graphic rich. The better ones have the same sort of attention to graphic detail as a coffee table photo book, and yet have to have the same sort of text density and tools (like a table of...
