    Rate Gencon 2007!

    This was my first Gen Con so I'm not rating it. Here's my Gen Con Photo Gallery. There's only a few EN Worlder's in it, and nothing from the Ennies ceremony. http://picasaweb.google.com/john.semlak/GenCon2007JohnSemlak (B.t.w-I'd be grateful if people would help me label the costumes I...

    ENnies Booth Sign Up (Full!!)

    I wouldn't mind volunteering, but I'm only 99% sure about my travel plans at this point. But I'm fairly sure :). And I've hardly got any games scheduled so far.

    Advice for first time gencon-visitor

    I've just sorted out summer travel plans that allow me to visit Gen Con for the first time ever. Can I get some quick advice on what planning I need to do now? I'm planning to drive from the Bloomington-normal IL area. I'm assuming that it' makes more sense to drive rather than try to find a...

    Can someone name this story

    Hey I was trying to remember a fantasy short story that I read in a literature book in junior high school. In the story, there is a village healer who has lived a normal life in the village but has mysterious origins. One day a wizard arrives from out of town and seeks out the healer. He...

    Best Fantasy comics?

    Yeah, I was particularly interested in that one, since Conan is solidly Sword and Sorcery material. But I wouldn't mind picking of something a bit, different as well. If I pick up a few things I'd like to get at least one good one that can be shown to high-school aged readers.

    What do you want to ask WotC?

    Two related questions: Can you give us more specifics as to why the print versions of the magazines are being discontinued, although apparently they were seeing increasing readership? In your decision to move the magazines' content to an online format, was there any consideration of having...

    Nostalgia for Our Magazines

    Can I add some nostalgia fro the old Polyhedron mag, back when it was a freebie that came with RPGA membership. When I had that back in the mid-80s I relied on it for my gaming fix. I loved some of it's adventures, and lots of other fix. Unlike Dragon, which could be repurchased on the Dragon...

    Tom Moldvay passes away (see post #52)

    Ditto. Moldvay's red-box rulebook (the box itself has long turned to dust) is still sitting on a shelf right behind me. I'll go and read through it for memory's sake.

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo no longer publishing Dungeon and Dragon

    Like others have posted I"m really gutted by hearing this. When I rationalize it, I realize it won't affect me very much practically since I've only bought a handful of issues over the last few years. So I don't have a huge right to complain. But it was always nice knowing it was there. As...

    Awesome interview with BSG's Richard Hatch

    I just loved this interview and had to recommend it somewhere. Richard Hatch talks about loads of things, including his development of a (P&P) role-playing game. The Podcast website, www.geekson.com, doesn't have the podcast linked on their front page, but it can be downloaded from this...

    Tales of Earthsea

    Has anyone heard much of the Japanese Anime film Tales of Earthsea (Gedo senki in Japanese). It's directed by Goro Miyazaki, the son of Hayao Miyazaki. In Japan last year it was a smash hit. According to IMDB and Wikipedia, it's set to be released in the UK on DVD in August, I believe, but is...
