The 5th edition campaign I am working on starting (may be a PbP, not sure yet) In the royal courts of Zakhara, one name is hated as a traitor - Othmar bin Jaqal, former adviser in the city of Mahabba, part of the Pentatheon League. Over ten years ago, he left, revealing himself as a member of...

Don't forget, Washington was now of the first states to legalize marijuana. Just an observation.

My theory on this is that the conversion guide isn't done; but what point would there be in working on it, knowing that it couldn't be approved until the guy gets back from jury duty? Might as well work on things that have a chance of getting out the door before then.

In a general sense, it is legal to make ONE backup copy in whatever format you choose in your examples because you are technically buying one license to use the product. As long as you don't distribute your copy, it is valid. What isn't legal is getting a copy from someone else, whether you...

There is one angle that is probably not true, but I would be curious on where people would stand if it were: What if WotC doesn't want Dungeons and Dragons to have a character builder? Understand that this is theoretical. Scenario: WotC announces that they aren't going to make a character...

It was all of the sourcebooks that put TSR onto the fast train to self-destruction, and very nearly ended D&D. Having a company that puts the fans before making a profit is like dating a porn star - it sounds great until you're the one cleaning up the mess.

Sadly, your statement was accurate. Although WotC didn't release any books for 3.0 or 3.5, they did authorize athas.org to do so, and they pushed the whole "halflings as lifeshapers" bit to the uttermost parts of insanity; according to the authorized material, the other races were created by...

Actually, I suspect it's more like this: Farmer's neighbor's pig can talk because of the food that grows on the farmer's yard. Everybody comes from miles around to appreciate the pig. Farmer decide that he wants a talking pig of his own and to charge people to see it; the neighbor is showing...

I would modify #3 to "The game publishers will continue to cultivate the gaming community's fragmenting into more insular sub-communities."

About #3: It is worth noting that there is not only a move toward people fragmenting, but a push toward removing "the unwanted" from the hobby, based on political views. That's nothing new, but now, game publishers are getting in on that. Posthuman Studios said, on their website, "If you...

- Nothing to see here. Move along.

Cancelled. Please delete.

A couple more lessons. 6. You don't have to answer every question about everything. We never did find out the name of the smoke monster, even though we got Jacob's name. It really never mattered, though it might be interesting. 7. It's OK to let people fill in the gaps - especially when they...

It has to be noted here that Jack Chick has absolutely NO credibility among us fundamentalist Christians. His doctrinal stands are ridiculous and he is known for mixing truth and lies, with a dash of hyperbole-as-literally-true. Mostly, it is an irritation to me, because when I tell gamers I am...

I think one thing people are forgetting is that 4th edition's book printing is incidental; the model intended is promoting DDI, which the 4th edition style is easily supported by. The prose of before (and Pathfinder uses now), while it might be better in tabletop play, is unquestionably worse as...

I am in the process of making an updated one, based on the box set. It'll be a couple weeks or so, but now that I know there is definite interest, I will work more diligently to get it up and running.

3 players seem good. Would prefer 4 to 5, so I'm going to keep the net out a little longer to see if any more fish come by. As for posting schedule, I would prefer at least once a day, but then again, I am an extremist. As long as you don't disappear in the middle of the action, there should...

Sure thing. It's going to be (or at least starting out as) an urban campaign in an Egyptian-like setting. The standard races from the Core book, except for half-orcs. Also, gnolls are allowed. There will be a couple changes to how they are made, but I can go over that. The standard classes from...

Traditional. The Hamunaptra setting is described by its makers (Green Ronin, if you care) as D&D, but in ancient Egypt instead of mideivel Europe. That's the idea I am going to try to make here. No dragons, but sphinges, the 27 gods of the Egyptian pantheon, and other things capturing the flavor...

"And boys are so cruel So don't let them find you...tonight And girls are so vain So put them behind you...tonight I'll cast you a spell A magic where everyone plays dead forever And after tonight They'll never remind you..." The Birthday Massacre, "Play Dead" Bitterness and denied ambition...
