To be fair, there are enough games with nazi zombies that a zombie holocaust might be exactly what he intended.

Gave Dire Bear an XP for ya, Eric.

There are these products called Duel Decks. One just came out, Duel Decks: Phyrexia vs. The Coalition. They're sets of two pre-constructed 60 card decks with themes and which are specifically created to be balanced against each other. In other words, they're a perfect little "fire and forget"...

Ah, MadTV. Glad to see there's someone willing to spend some money on producing the obvious jokes which people have been cracking since before the thing was announced. Keep going for that low-hanging fruit, Mad.

4e, although there's a significant amount of functionality which is rules-neutral.

Masterplan has single-handedly renewed my interest in GMing 4th edition. If I may blow your mind for a moment, Masterplan has the ability to generate a random dungeon delve. Let me reiterate that, because I don't think you read it with the emphasis it deserves. Masterplan has the ability to...

I was looking at the art gallery from the latest Dragon and I noticed something... Well, first, I saw a picture of a dwarf that I swore I'd seen before, and then I realized no, it was just that WotC clearly had a style guide for dwarves that said that dwarven heavy armor tends to look like...

Shhh! You're gonna let the secret out! DM: [Totally random off-the-cuff thing] Player, later: Hey, remember [that thing]? I bet [cool idea]. DM: Yes, that's exactly it...

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

I wasn't at PAX, sadly, but I follow a number of people in the RPG community who were and got the impression that there was quite a lot of D&D stuff happening. I was actually quite shocked to read the OP, and Dann's experience falls much more in line with what I expected... Also worth...

Ok, here's the program, with a few caveats. 1. It's quick and dirty. There's no error checking in this at all. If you tell it to do "purple" trials, it will yell at you and then crash. 2. In my trials above, I didn't actually do anything sophisticated for the dice. For this, I've added the...

So my curiosity got the better of me, and I wrote up something quick and dirty. Trials: 1000000 Monster HP:40 Dealing 1d10+0 Monster HP before death: HP Total % Running Total: 1 181795 (18.18 %) (18.18 %) 2 163170 (16.32 %) (34.50 %) 3 146367 (14.64 %) (49.13 %) 4 127521...

I think there are 2 factors at work here. First, a monster being left at 1 hp is quite memorable, so selective memory probably skews things a bit. Second, it wouldn't surprise me if there's a statistical basis for this being common, and it only becomes more common if you increase the...

There's an idea. "Minionized."

So here's what I'm thinking. Mapping accessories: I'm kind of torn. On the one hand, the obvious best thing would be some sort of generic map and markers (flipmat, tactiles, etc). On the other hand, those have the downsides of being a bit involved, having to worry about cleaning supplies and...

I'm trying to come up with a "travel kit" of miniatures and mapping accessories, and I'm curious what other people would do. So here are the considerations: 1. First, the miniatures are really the key thing I'm interested in here. The accessories are sort of a secondary question. So really...

I saw that but didn't really "catch" it until you pointed it out. Bravo, Ariosto.

Unfortunately, I'm having a small personal emergency and probably won't be able to make it today. :(

Since I took a break from 4e, I haven't been following any of this 'controversy.' My only experience with the battlemind was in D&D Encounters today; I ran one for 3 people, one of which was a battlemind. His ability seemed pretty cool. The person he marked took as much damage as it dealt...
