Perhaps the solution here is to have a two-prong approach to RPGA events. Have some be more tactical and/or power gamer oriented (tougher encounters, more heavily scripted) and others less tactical and more story/character oriented. In my experience, these are the main conflicts in styles I...

I'll also note a couple of people stated they were voting off the artificer because it was first alphabetically. They seem to have been an insignificant number, because the avenger hasn't even been in danger yet.

Of course, some of those decisions might bring a third party, such as WotC, into this. It would be within WotC's right to set up rules for how much of a fee may be allowed at a WWDDGD event, or even disallow one at all. Once a store decides to run the event, they have to follow those rules. I...

The Warlord dropped the last round. Both rounds so far have dropped leaders. Is another one on the line this time? A new request this time: Please don't look at the votes or read the discussion before voting. Let's try to make this as "authentic" as possible rather than trying to focus only...

In another close battle, the warlord is gone. Leaders are dropping like flies.

They'll hate him even more if you set him up in adventures leading up to Chimes. Ideally, you want them to grudgingly respect him. Have them had his arrogance, but understand that he has earned it somewhat (ideally not by one-upping the PCs on a regular basis, but maybe one key time).

I suspect that some of that was Paizo's way of handling Eberron in Dungeon. They stated that they weren't going out of their way to commission Eberron adventures. They said when they got more submissions we'd see more Eberron adventures. So, most of what we saw were adventures from those...

Our store had a very good turnout with 2 full tables (usually we end up with about a table). I was there briefly because I have the "thing" that is going around and didn't want to expose anyone. I wouldn't have shown up at all, except I was the organizer and wanted to be sure things were...

The artificer is voted off the list after round 1. Round 2 begins now (assuming the poll will post correctly). The rules are simple. Vote for the class you want to vote off the list.

In a very close battle, the Artificer is voted off the list. I find that interesting, because the analysis I read generally put that as one of the best balanced classes. I would have thought the early classes would be among the least balanced classes. Live and learn. On to round 2.

It's been a long time since I referenced this, so I could be wrong. However, I recall that the rule in AD&D was that you lost a level every time you changed alignment by a single step.

I recommend finding most of the 007 RPG books. They are usually pretty available on eBay and quite reasonable. IMO, it is the RPG that best portrayed the genre it covered. A large part of this was the amount of advice on structuring the campaign in the rule book. A few suggestions: 1)...

Nope. Street date was the 15th (Tuesday) per the Editorial Calendar. Speaking of which, according to it the street date for the Dragon Annual was Tuesday and I saw it all over last month. Is the editorial calendar off for that or was everyone early?

Timing mostly. It's a milestone (I guess we all get an action point), which is always good. Also, all of the classes that are out have been out long enough for everyone to have played them, seen them played and/or discussed them.

And this time the poll successfully posts! And we have a couple of favorites leading (with an admittedly small sample).

It's that time again. Time for a new round of ENWorld Survivor. With the release of the 4E DMG today, we now have two of each of the traditional "core books." That gives us a decent number of choices for a series of Survivor. Since races cover a lot of the same ground as earlier editions, I...

And ENWorld wouldn't post the poll. Unless a moderator fixes this with a poll that ends in 2 days, I will try again later.

For Glorantha, I think it is easy. It would be the RQ3 Glorantha box set. In fact, I think this is as close as the world had to a single world book (I admit, I haven't looked at the Mongoose RQ books). Generally you got bits and pieces of the world revealed through various supplements. This...

Overall, I think not. However, overall, I think gamers who go to conventions aren't representative of the RPG community (or event the D&D community) either.
