    "Syndrome" Syndrome: or the Fallacy of "Special"

    I actually thought it was obvious, trite, and dull. But then, I think Pixar makes bad films.

    4E, has your opinion changed?

    I was pretty sure I was going to like it before I played, and I do. I've played in a Keep on the Shadowfell preview session (right at the beginning of June, before the books came out), and I've run "Kobold Hall" for my wife, with her playing all five characters. We're converting my Pathfinder...

    How do you like your game?

    Unless that Judges' Guild product actually said what the "curse of a thousand cuts" did to the guy, that's not part of the game - it's part of the setting. I love that sort of thing in setting detail, but personally I'm indifferent as to whether or not it's written up in the rules. So it...

    Dragon 364 - Expeditionary Dispatches: Forest of Flesh

    The skinweavers are fantastic. They remind me of some of the creatures in Robin Laws's GURPS Fantasy II: Adventures in the Mad Lands. I love this article. :)

    new gamers from the ranks of WoW types

    The game I run at the moment is entirely made up of people who are also in our World of Warcraft guild. They're all looking forward to the switch to Fourth Edition (it helps that they're all more or less playing characters who translate pretty well), but they were also all eager to play the game...

    Female opinions, please

    Both my wife and the other woman in my Pathfinder Rise of the Runelords campaign are looking forward to converting to Fourth Edition at our next session in just under a week's time. My wife is also so fond of the new game that she's talked me into running a solo game for her, with five PCs...

    Codex of Betrayal

    I don't doubt Todd's ability to write material without too much reference to obscure, no-longer-applicable canon material . . . but of course there would be some! ;)

    Which version of D&D or D&D-like will you be playing by the end of 2008 ?

    I'll be playing Fourth Edition. My current revised Third Edition D&D game, using the Pathfinder adventure path Rise of the Runelords, is converting at our next session next Tuesday night - which, thank the gods, because we're only now reaching the climax of the first adventure, and there are...

    D&D 4e Rules Compendium in online!

    Fact: It's called the D&D Compendium, not the D&D Rules Compendium.

    How were you first introduced to D&D?

    I read about Dungeons & Dragons in the novelisation of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and then happened upon a one-volume British edition of the "red box" Basic Set a few months later. This was in early 1991, so I was about ten years old. For those who never bought that product, it teaches you to...

    Yeah, man. Those elves and halflings are just a waste of space!

    Here's how dragonborn look in my setting

    I really like the spined crest, RSKennan. Very cool. I haven't though much about my own setting, since I'm planning to convert my Pathfinder Rise of the Runelords game and start up a new Eberron game using the H-series adventures, but if I ever do anything with the Exile setting idea I had I'll...

    For real this time: What is your stance on 4e

    I prefer Fourth Edition. I gave my players the option of sticking to revised Third Edition for our Rise of the Runelords game, but I was quite pleased when each of them said they'd be happy to convert over to Fourth. If someone asked me to play in a Third Edition game, I would consider it, but...

    Why Chris Youngs?

    You mean "faze". Even the Wizards of the Coast people got this one wrong, in the "Playing Warforged" article and it's Warforged Fortification power.

    What Do You Do to Support Your FLGS?

    I live in Sydney, and I would not consider any of the gaming stores to which I have been a "community resource" for gamers, as I understand a lot of North American stores are seen by their customers. I believe that university and community gaming groups perform this service for a great many...

    Now that 4e is out, are you into it or sticking with a prior edition?

    I just put the question of conversion to the players in my revised Third Edition Rise of the Runelords game. All three of the ones who aren't my wife were in favour of converting, and I know my wife is happy to play the new edition, so when next we play we'll be converting characters and going...

    Are you blowing anything off to get 4e on Friday?

    Technically, I've been blowing off work since yesterday, but that's because we're visiting my in-laws in California and Texas - the fact that I can have my Fourth Edition books delivered from Amazon for a lot less than it would take to get them to Sydney is just a bonus.

    Fight On! Magazine

    Sounds like a cool project, guys! I don't play your games, but I'm excited that there's a new publication supporting your corner of the D&D scene!

    Rate 4e!

    I like it better than I thought I would, and I was pretty excited for it.

    Why not just say "thog not get references" and save yourself all this effort?
