Any judges who have a bad time at a show are more then welcome to join our ranks. I use over 250 judges a year for various shows around the country (the big three being D&D Experience, Origins, and oh ya Gencon). If you know 4th edition D&D then we have a use for you. We provide free badges...

People ask me for advice about shows all the time for obvious reasons. What I tell them is pretty simple but most screw it up. 1 - Don't bite off more then you can chew. It is better to do two things really really well then five things crappy. 2 - People want to sign-up to play games with...

Wizards of the Coast sponsors the show (and sends all kinds of cool people out to it). They provide some content for it. The rest is what I decide I want to have at the show to make it snazzy and as fun as possible. So I decided to start up Ashes of Athas on my own (and I have one crazy good...

So spreading the word, posting some posts, ya know how it goes. Pre-reg is live and would love if you sorta kinda wandered over and took a look. Thanks

Try keeping it quiet for a year plus. There are things that suck worse then being a VCL LOL (and peeps - knowing things is kinda cool - knowing and not being able to talk about it with anybody in your same time zone? Sucks more then the kinda cool part most of the time).

Easily over 1K. My D&D collection alone takes up 7 book cases now (6 feet high and 21 feet wide - one whole wall of my den). If you ever see it for sale then please call the police - my falling down the stairs was not an accident as my wife claims (as she knows that is the only way it will ever...

The penalty is in the Core Rules so yes. That is what is appealing to a lot of people about RPGA games. We are the core rules you buy right off the shelf and we use almost all published books (with current errata). So it gives a level of expectation on the players part as to what to expect. If...

That's what Raise Dead is for. Spend a little money and you're back. You can also have more then one character (I know a friend who has 8 of them now between 1st and 17th level).

Shawn filled in a lot of the blanks but you should see in the event description whether characters are provided and what experience level to play is required. The RPGA offers to types of games (and the one is broken down a little more). Living Games - Currently Living Forgotten Realms (LFR) -...

DDC (D&D Championship) is a characters provided event. All you need is a ticket to an entry round and you are all good. Dark Sun Arena I believe is a make a character or use a pre-gen event. More will be posted on the website as we approach the show (and we have a dozen DDI Character Generators...

We have membership cards on-site at all large shows and it takes about 30 seconds to sign-up (and yes it is free). So signing up before you play at Gencon is not a problem. What games are you looking at and I can probably fill in some more blanks (as I am the person running everything there for...

Well we are pretty good. We usually have a 1,000 or so players and judges sat and playing within about 10 minutes of start time.

To be honest not sure yet. This is all very new to us so while I want to be helpful as possible I also do not want to promise something that I cannot backup. Managed expectations is a big thing with me (give people what you promise and they'll be a lot happier then promising them double and only...

Gencon was not in on this decision (other than telling them what we wanted to do so they could figure out how to do it and make the announcement). This is all us baby. I'll be heading up all this stuff on-site and before the show the best I can (in as many message boards as I can). Please keep...

You are correct grasshopper. We have a seminar on Saturday. 3 PM: Athas Unveiled: Dark Sun Returns! Join Dark Sun lead designer Rich Baker as information on the upcoming Dark Sun Campaign Setting is revealed. The harsh world of Athas updates to 4th Edition this August, but D&D Experience is...

I'm trying to grow the vendor/dealer area at D&D XP so send them all my way LOL. I bet we charge a lot less then Dragoncon does (less people to but hey we can dream) and all disputes are settled over beers at the Irish Pub.

It's what sucks more and more each year as you become friends with more and more people at Wizards. The notices suck.

It's the greatest product ever - buy it

The book is just so awesome that a normal cover stock cannot contain it. Thus the delay.

also just a small fact left out. The D&D Miniatures line did not fail hence why it still exists. The competitive game is what failed and the packaging and how the mini's were presented to make a competitive game was hurting the RPG side which was 90% of the business. So you take a step back and...
