Well, I am sure that places like Paizo, WotC and others would be more than inclined to give a helping hand when one of the biggest community sites wants to show the world what the whole fuss is about this roleplaying thingie going on at GenCon :)

There are some cool teams on the market for this. Companies like 2 Player Productions (2PP), Vantage Points Productions or Suddenly Tragic Productions (the first two did the Penny Arcade TV series, the last one did an awesome documentary about subway musicians in NY). Since they are all indie...

I think you are right that the different kinds of hardware (phones, TVs, tablets, appliances) are starting to merge into one kind of device from where you can do all the things you need and want to do. Though at the moment we are in some kind of transition phase that make some kind of things...

I was in the same situation a few months ago when I was looking for a tablet. In the end I decided against an iPad because I felt that a Droid/iOS tablet would be too limiting for me. You are bound to an ecosystem like Google Play and iTunes so if an app is not there to do what you want then you...

I could see this 5 minute spell refresher working even in conjunction with Vancian style magic (or as a side school of Vancian magic). Perhaps it would turn out to be a sort of specialization where you loose some power (i.e. spells, access to schools or # spells/day) but therefore get the...

...for a full documentary of the next GenCon, day 1 to 4, with all the cool things that happen over there (Booths, Ennies, IronDM, panels, etc..) Being from the other side of the pond I only get the chance to go to GenCon every few years/decades so the only source for me to get some feeling on...

Yeah, this thing just flies through the roof. 675k just went by in a gust of awesome.

From how I understood it from the video the two years countdown has started more or less with the first public testing. Though it was not entirely clear in the vid (or me English language check failed me miserably). The part about that in the video is around 1:04:40

The recorded session seems to be up now on justin.tv wotc_dnd - Broadcasting LIVE on Justin.tv

I know we are talking RPG and fantasy here but still: Fighting with standard medieveal long blade weapons in each hand is the last thing you want to do in combat (I wont cover asian fighting styles here because those weapons very different). Longswords are too heavy for dual wielding to...

You have to love Paizo for jumping on that Kickstarter. Nice move indeed.

Just did this little playtest for the fun of it: Human Fighter (as per pregen) vs. Dark Acolyte x squares apart Rolled Init: Fighter (10) Acolyte (12) Acolyte(9HP): Ranged attack (Roll 12) misses Fighter(12HP): Rapid Shot (Roll 17, Roll 17) hit/(4) Damg 2, hit/(1) Dmg 1 -----------------...

I think this is going to be one of the big strengths of 5e. It seems to allow very flexible, though still logical, ways of extending the different aspects of a character. You have race subrace class specialities equipment to play with when it comes to add your own flavor to the game. I get the...

Had my first read through and I am pleasantly surprised by how it looks and feels. It somehow has the vibe of 2e with the nicer and more concrete elements of 3e attached to it. Me likey much. As someone already said it does not look like the spiritual successor of 4e but like a mix of the...

Mentioning Herbert's Dune in the same post as Star Wars/Trek seems like blasphemy :D But yes, it's in line of what I meant. Things like Aasimov's Foundation, Burrough's Barsoom, or Heinlein's Future History.

Just take the Vistani from the Ravenloft setting and extend them to be able to roam the planes instead of just walking to/from Ravenloft Vistani - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Love affairs or sexual encounters in general never played a big role (none, to be exact) in all of our campaigns in the last 20 years since we play. It just wasn't something anyone in our group was interested in while we played (our group has men and women and at one point one couple in it)...

We want an AAR for that 1e dungeon delve! (including the result of the rolled up treasure they got)

In reply to Hand of Evil: I think every new edition should have a dedicated "starter" adventure to teach and show the rules for those migrating from former editions but also for those that are totally new to D&D. Basically the starter adventure should be part* of the PHB. And it should not be a...

There is a sci-fi series of books written around an alien race that is getting "reset" every x thousand of years. A nice read by the way: The Mote in God's Eye - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
