    I've DMed 4e and I PREFER DMing: A poll

    I have said quite a few times to the rest of my group that I will never run 3.X again (which isn't quite true, but it will be exceptional cases like running the low-level Testament game I wanted to play for a while). If I am going to run D&D it will be 4E (I could run BD&D, but I haven't done...

    What are you interested picking up at Free RPG Day?

    Free RPG Day is less than a month away. I was busily trying to get things organized for one of my FLGS, and was looking at the list of giveaways. Of the list, what are you most interested in?

    How hard to find oop books?

    It depends on what you are looking for, and how much you are willing to pay. Crothian mentions the AD&D PHB and I see 6 on ebay right now, as low as $1.99. Now, if you are looking for OD&D, that's another kettle of fish.

    Was 4e design based around the suite of proposed D&Di tools? EDIT: found quote.

    At least that digital tools would be an element (not necessarily for digital play). Also, it would have been silly to do otherwise. That was one of the big problems with 3.x (and earlier editions, but 3.x was the during the largest electronic tools boom). Someone would have a strong character...

    Simple Game Systems

    Another pretty simple RPG is Toon. The catch is that it is a tricky game. It requires the right mood, and a particular type of gamemaster to pull off. However, when it's right, it's great!

    Kalashtar are confirmed for the Eberron Player's Guide!

    And don't forget the speculation that the PHB II would have psionics, since you need psionics for Kalashtar. Since it didn't, one bit of speculation was that the Kalashtar would be in the PHB III since we wouldn't have psionics for the Eberron Player's Guide). Confirmation that kalashtar will...

    Simple Game Systems

    There is a copy on eBay right now that's quite reasonable. The S&H is high, but he notes that assumes the most expensive option, so it can be dropped by a lot. There is another that's about $20 before S&H.

    Do you have a local game store?

    Perhaps I should have been more specific. Clearly many have died, with the switch to faceless internet companies like Amazon (which is even a "local" store for me since I drive by one of their warehouses every day to work). Still, a much higher portion of people answering this poll have a...

    Simple Game Systems

    Greg Stafford's Prince Valiant is very simple. It doesn't even use dice for randomization, rather coins to toss. I was considering using the system to start a RPG for my friend's kid who is under 10.

    Characters from PHB II Worldwide D&D Gameday

    As a prize from this weekend's Worldwide D&D Gameday I received a copy of the earlier PHB II adventure. It has the map, but lacks the characters. I know WotC posted the characters in advance from this adventure, does anyone know if the PHB II characters are posted some where?

    Do you have a local game store?

    Looking at what we have now, I see... Slightly over half the participants have several games stores in their area (about 51%) Another quarter have one game store in their area. I think that either the death of the gaming store is exaggerated, or else it's somewhat clear that the existence of...

    So gameday how did it go??

    I should mention the giveaways: We were all given the PC miniature for our character, the DM got to keep the monsters. There was a trivia sheet. Those of us who got 16 of 18 right (the best score), were given a prize. Mine was the PHB II WWDDGD module. There were also some of the older...

    Organizing counters and tiles

    For 3.5 I used to have an index card box with monster statblocks alphabetically. I took my counters, put them in baggies and slid them in the correct alphabetical slot. Now if only I had labeled them ;)

    Stats for Good Metallic Dragons?

    I voted once or twice. I will also note that to use them now in 4E, all I really would do would be to write the word "good" in the current statblocks where alignment goes. Hardly the need to require any changes.

    Do you have a local game store?

    I edited the intiial post with some rough definitions. But, if you can walk into the store and expect to see RPGs being played or discussed, then it certain is a game store (whether it is Friendly or not, is subjective).

    So gameday how did it go??

    I decided I had to make it this game day and play, since I have DMed for quite a while with no chance to play (I can't do weekends, and I have been unable to get player to DM a weekday game). There were 4 games going on in the 3pm sessions at my game store (I wasn't there for the 10 am and was...

    My Response to the Grognardia Essay "More Than a Feeling"

    Ironically, I think the need to categorize and have strict definitions is a "new school" RPG phenomenon that many old school players dislike.

    Real fast question: past appearances of the Behir and Barghest?

    I could have sworn the first appearance of the barghest was Dragon magazine, or maybe the Strategic Review. I do believe it was pretty early (long before the MM2).

    Do you have a local game store?

    Well, local is a relative term. Local in nYC isn't the same as local in some provinces in Canada, for example. Some places you have to travel distances to the local grocery store, and an hour's travel might be "local."

    Forked Thread: DDI Changes - Your reaction

    Apparently in Development since last GenCon. WotC is clearly not too concerned with living up to their promises for products you already paid for (at least, they aren't in a hurry). I also will note that there hasn't been any comments from WotC people since last GenCon either.
