    DMs: Fight to Win or Fight for Fun?

    CDGs are always tough. Heroes will use them like there's no tomorrow whereas they seem to act like you just did something nasty to their favorite album when it happens to them. Though, I think they may have a point. Honestly its hard to say. Do you let it be known that the campaign is...

    Would you GM for Kids at GenCon '06?

    I would probably run 2 hour sessions for kids. I doubt they would have the patience to sit still for four hours.

    Worst D&D adventure of all time?

    Hmmm. And I loved MINES of Bloodstone.

    Worst D&D adventure of all time?

    Was Die, Vecna, Die the modual where he had a bunch of underlings which had costumes with giant eyes on their heads and giant hands on their hands (making them look like lame super villains). I swear, the guys with the hands on their heads made me think of the Hamburger Helper guy. I know the...

    Nostalgia Attack

    I never got into 2nd ed, either. I liked 1e so much better and took a hiatus from D&D over my displeasure. Well, I ended up actually playing in a few games and tried running it but it seemed to be bogged down with a bunch of rules I hated (like weapon speed) and bogged down with a lot of...

    So you went to Gen Con (or not), what other cons do you attend?

    I go to GenCon and Origins every year (for the past 5 years) and GenCon I have been going to for about 10. I have been to DragonCon before and I have been to Magnum Opus Con (which I think was in South Carolina - its been over ten years). I would like to go to Sandiego Comic Con and Wizard Con...

    Now they buy pigs

    Yes. Clever. However you might have some kind of fantasy world PETA come after them.

    Why would PCs wear capes?

    A cape is just so studly. I mean, it must be the fashion equvalent of like a Mercedes or something.

    Gen Con - Good bad and ugly

    Well, you had your invisibility turned off, right?

    Something missing at GenCon this year?

    As far as booth babes, I have noticed the lack of sexy women dressed up in strange outfits. On the other hand, I have noticed an increase in the amount of attractive women who are working for a company that happen to be working the booth. The girls giving out the VS cards and t-shirts come to...

    Prepping a little for GC '06

    First thing you have to do when running a game at a con is pick a system that everyone knows or can understand very quickly. I use Call of Cthulhu since it is a simple system. The second thing you have to do is create a scenario that can be done in about four hours. Otherwise players (ENWorld...

    Do you Assign NPC stats?

    Heck, I rarely hand out stats to any but the most important of NPCs. If there is a fighter that they go up against and needs stats, I doubt it matters what his Dex is but I might say he has a +2 (or higher if he is high level or something).

    Best Quotes of GenCon

    Ooops. I stand corrected. Maybe that is why I got no free dice.

    Gen Con - Good bad and ugly

    One of the greatest 'pros' you can put on the list is this: bring lots of food and drinks. Invest in a cooler. Put ice in the cooler. You will leave the con having felt so proud of yourself for being able to get a cheap drink at midnight if you so chose.

    Best Quotes of GenCon

    They had an ad in the coupon book but only to the first 500 people. I never did manage to get any as I was always there too late in the day.

    Mix of Face-to-Face & Online Players?

    I think the reliable (and inexpensive) technology is not quite there yet. I mean, sure it can probably be done but still . . . I have not heard of it being done on a consistent basis with any success.

    So which companies got hit by the printer fiasco?

    I saw the line for Serenity and thought they must have had a hit on their hands based on the amount of people who wanted a copy. Shadowrun, on the other hand probably had hoards of people lining up merely based the popularity of the game.

    D&D: Enough with the Sample NPCs

    I dunno. I kind of like the stat blocks, myself. Though perhaps a compromise could be made and just include them all at the end for those who want to see page after page of rules, uninterrupted by some stat blocks.

    Upload your pics to the Gen Con photo gallery!

    The pics are great. Some of the costumes are inspiring me to perhaps bring a costume next year.

    Anyone going to GenCon SoCal?

    Wow, whereas I would love to go it is too far out for me. I think at some point I'll go, though.
