    3E & 4E Love and Hate Polls - What does it mean?

    If you like, but I'm not sure other 4E fans share your optimism. Why bother to rig online polls if it's already so popular?

    3E & 4E Love and Hate Polls - What does it mean?

    I think most gamers would agree that 4E has brought in more new players than 3E, but the question is why: because it's a greater version of D&D, or because it's become a fluffier rip-off of Mordheim? But that way lies the edition wars. Actually, my experience is that lighter moderation...

    Love it or hate it, 3e style

    I was just reviewing the thread for the same reason. Who cares enough to tinker with the poll?

    WotC Layoffs - Rob Heinsoo, Logan Bonner, and Chris Sims

    Well, I'm making a moral argument about job security for artists, so in that respect the profit imperative is loathsome, but it applies equally to other corporations, not just Hasbro. WotC employees are shed in a scheduled process that applies to all of Hasbro's subdivisions, but it would be...

    Something 3E and 4E lost (that 2E had)

    Well, no car manufacturer specifically tells you to drive on the roads, but it's fairly plain that their products aren't great over other terrain.

    WotC Layoffs - Rob Heinsoo, Logan Bonner, and Chris Sims

    "Moving forward" is precisely the type of corporate-ese I imagine Hasbro employees are used to.

    WotC Layoffs - Rob Heinsoo, Logan Bonner, and Chris Sims

    Hasbro fully deserves greater scrutiny of its hiring and firing than smaller publishers. It dominates the RPG industry, publishes the hobby's flagship game and, as others have noted, is riding the success of its newest product line. If a tiny publisher with half a dozen employees sacks...

    Cheap RPG-themed gifts?

    Did you notice the first one says "Humantity -1"? There's room for a distasteful joke about mastectomy there.

    How many gamers you know post in forums?

    I've been here 5 years and haven't cracked a grand. I don't know how the really prolific posters do it.

    Cheap RPG-themed gifts?

    My partner prints up pictures and phrases onto card, then laminates them for use as bookmarks. Cheap and simple.

    Something 3E and 4E lost (that 2E had)

    Because running the burger shop pays enough for him to do French stuff on the side, and hopefully build it up to a core business. I'm not sure Gygax realised the amount of group-hopping that would go on for roleplayers when he was with the original players. That's why stuff needed to be more...

    Something 3E and 4E lost (that 2E had)

    Ah, but if the chef is a cordon bleu master of French cuisine, but can only make a living off a customer base that wants hamburgers, I want what the chef wants.

    Real Life Stuff That's Ripe for Inspiration

    Cracked.com is a surprisingly good resource for short bios of bad-asses.

    How many gamers you know post in forums?

    I wonder what proportion of gamers posts on gaming forums regularly. I do, so I tend to assume that board chatter represents the general attitudes and interests of the gaming majority. On the other hand, only 2 of 5 people in my group bother with internet discussions, so online acitivity may...

    Mobile Mode available?

    How does this forum work? Can we expect a reply from the mods, or is it just a vanity wishlist?

    Did you get along to see it?

    Mobile Mode available?

    Is there a way to view ENworld in mobile mode? It's an option at some VBulletin sites, selected via the skins tab at the bottom of the page.

    D&D - The Opera

    I went to see the preview show of this at the Melbourne Performing Arts Centre last weekend. Very, very funny, and written with a true affection for the game and its players. Tripod is going to Massachussets to workshop it into a full-fledged show before going on tour. Book tickets as early...

    Winning Races: Halfling - Nice

    Between two and four feet. Average 3' 6", and an offshoot of the race of men in Tolkien's setting. I can see where you're going, but the point is that hobbit-halfings are a diverse and dynamic race that was replaced with a different diverse and dynamic race - with a specific, universal culture...
