I read this page almost every day. I don't always read all sections of it, but it is valuable to me.

Thanks for the offer, Hammerforge, but if you're playing in McLean I can't easily get there without a car.

I just moved to DC, and I'd be interested in joining a gaming group. I've played a lot of games, and some variation of D&D is welcome.

I'm moving to DC in a couple weeks, and I'll also be looking to meet fellow gamers when I arrive. I'm a little bit burnt out on 4e, but I'd love to play the Dresden Files RPG.

Only by allowing the books to bloat out to 800-page unedited monstrosities. They had the same problem as the Song of Ice and Fire books, just on a smaller scale.

I'm surprised that the Derinkuyu and the other underground cities of Capadoccia aren't better known.

Now I'm kicking myself for not asking him what setting he plays in! WotC should ask him to participate in the next D&D game podcast. He doesn't have the same geek name recognition as Penny Arcade or Wil Wheaton, but he's an award-winning YA and adult author, and you can bet he'd be fun to...

I saw Sherman Alexie speak last week, at the closing ceremony of "One Book, One Philadelphia". He's one of my favorite authors, with books that are simultaneously hilarious and heartbreaking. He was amazingly funny as usual. At one point in his talk, he said that people ask him if all Indians...

Do Mages gain any additional special abilities beyond 10th level? Does school mastery cap out at 10th level, or do mages continue to gain mastery in new schools? You mentioned that each school is tied to a particular attribute (Cha for enchantment, etc.). Does that attribute affect how such...

That would make a certain amount of sense, if it's just for light blades. OTOH, it would make slayer fighters really deadly, and possibly create the same problem that they changed Melee Training to fix.

Until I saw this map, I didn't realize that Abeir and Maztica are basically the same landmass! Look at them. They're exactly the same size, and the same shape (aside from some details). You could easily superimpose one over the other. The main difference is that Maztica is connected to other...

It also depends quite a lot on the nature of the place you're opening the gate from. If you open a gate from a slaughterhouse at night, it'll take you to an extremely different place in the Nevernever than if you open a gate in a sunny field full of flowers. Even if the two locations are right...

(My main question, about how the M&M system is changed/simplified, has already been said a few times.) How big will the books be, roughly speaking? Will each of the Hero/Villain books be Freedom City-sized, or Silver Age-sized.

I'm reading: The David Story, a translation of the biblical books of Samuel 1 & 2, and parts of Kings 1, by Robert Alter. The Kerberos Club, a wildly fun Victorian Strangeness RPG setting. I'm also listening to the audiobook of Small Favor, #10 of the Dresden Files. I've gotten addicted to...

And this week's episode was possibly even better. Certainly a lot scarier. And at the end,

I was thinking he'd be played by John Holmes in a rubber suit. Atlatl Jones would have to be CGI, because he's a dragon the size of a cat. He'd be voiced by Emo Phillips. My tiefling warlock Gepetto Jack Fagin would be played by Ron Moody, who played Fagin in the musical of Oliver, with...

I'm listening to the audiobook of Jim Butcher's Proven Guilty. James Marsters does a fantastic job of reading them, and has Harry Dresden's voice perfectly, as well as good voices for the other characters. I've also started reading the bible, using Robert Alter's translations of The Five Books...

Or just wait until June, when the next generation of iPhone comes out, along with the next gen of iPhone OS.

I'm really curious what the power cards will be like. I expect that they'll be pre-printed cards for all the powers available to the classes and races in the game. That would certainly speed up character creation, and help new players enjoy playing without having to constantly look in the book...

Have I mentioned that I absolutely love this app? I've been using it to track my character, and was surprised at how much easier it makes playing the game. And it sounds like my two biggest quibbles with it - condition tracking and an easier way to enter power text - will be fixed in the next...
