    When the Sharks Finally Catch You: The Death of Geek Chic

    And their later products did exactly that - less stupendous, more general purpose but still with features for gaming. Dining room tables where you can eat and do homework, coffee tables with storage bins for your console controllers. I get that the number of customers they potentially had was...

    When the Sharks Finally Catch You: The Death of Geek Chic

    Why, you introduce new products which are different than your old ones. Which GeekChic did. They started with one table, the Sultan. The supplemented that with several others over the years. And added the GM Valet as well.

    When the Sharks Finally Catch You: The Death of Geek Chic

    I'm an owner of an GeekChic Emissary table. Ordered in January 2015 and delivered in Feb 2016. I love it, it's awesome. I saved up for four years to purchase it and got it for my 50th birthday. I tell everybody it's my mid life crisis motorcycle except it has legs. And I plan to play a hell of a...

    The Modern History of the Fantasy Fireball

    Mr Tresca, you refer to 'Delta' as an author/person three times in this article, but never tell us who that is or the source of the quotes/information. Who or what is Delta?

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana Explores Downtime Activities

    I think this is good fodder for adventure. I have used a variation of the "quest required" idea for high level magic items for quite a few years, so that's pretty familiar for my group. I find that downtime activities are easily set up away from the table and fleshed out by email and such, so...

    News Digest: The Lady of Pain Returns to Alpha Complex In Search of the Unknown at the Keep on the B

    The article title is verbally brilliant. Got my 30% off from GOG for the new Planescape as an owner of the original - a really awesome offer on their part!

    The Origins of the RPG Crate

    The earliest subscription service I've heard of was run by an artist I'm fond of named David Roberts (1796 - 1864) who set up a subscription to artwork he produced of the "Holy Lands". From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Roberts_(painter) At the time, most of the drawings and paintings...

    First Ever GAMES WORKSHOP Store Is Being Demolished

    This is pretty typical in New York & Miami as well. Lots of foreign investment money looking to get out of weak currencies (anybody want to buy some rubles?).

    What's Up With D&D? for Monday, 12 December 2011

    Well, the article that it goes with is about a theme in "The Book Of Vile Darkness". Dexter is a perfect illustration! :devil: TMan

    D&D 4E iCharacter Sheet - 4E for the iPad Now for Sale!

    Looks pretty cool. I'll be checking that out today at lunch and probably buying it later on. As for not being able to import actual DDI Character builder files or connect to DDI or build in actual logic - I have a question. Have you thought about or pitched the idea of licensing this app to...

    Ampersand: 2011 releases officially gutted

    A great friend of mine, TheHalfling, pointed me at this thread and I've read it with deep interest. Here's a question - when did you realize that a digital facet of D&D made some sense? I have some specific moments for myself - 1. When I bought a super-duper Excel Spreadsheet (with almost...
