FULL DISCLOSURE: I received a free copy of Carcosa in exchange for writing this review. I am a huge fan of old school D&D, Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos and the sword and sorcery genre. I am the target market for Carcosa and predisposed toward a setting that combines my favorites. Strange is the...

Thank you Joshua! The H1 characters I saw seemed different than the DDXP and Game Day character sheets and the info was spread about differently. I will check on the fonts.

I just heard that each con had 1000 attendees each with huge amount of roleplay and RPGA stuff...so did anybody go?

Did you attend ConQuest SF / Pacificon or Gateway / Strategicon? How was the convention? What were the highlights? Tell us about the good, the bad and the ugly!

I bought all the sets and I enjoy them. I flip through my tiles and minis, grab stuff that looks interesting and work the story around them. I ran an RPGA adventure where they gave a full list of the tiles needed, but it took forever to get it right. For published adventures, I would use...

Nobody knows?

Have you used Amazon CreateSpace? What are your thoughts? How were your sales? How does it compare to Lulu or other sites you have used?

Shame. I buy almost all my gaming through Amazon. Why would your company not use the most popular book channel in the world?

I really like how the DDXP characters are formatted and present for teaching 4e to newbies. I want to recreate their format to create additional characters for variety. I have the PDF scans, but I does anyone know what fonts and formatting style was used?

The 4e DMG is the best book for noobs. It is the second best DMG, next to the insane glory of Gary's 1e DMG which is my favorite RPG text.

California has 8 gaming conventions each year - in the North, we have DundraCon, KublaCon, ConQuest Santa Clara, ConQuest Sacramento; in the Central state we have PolyCon and in the South we have Gateway, OrcCon and Gateway. Attendance ranges from 300 to 3000. Meetup.com is a great tool to...

Any pictures from the Gary Gygax tribute events from GenCon? Any stories of the events you participated in? Any Actual Play reports from the Tower of Gygax? Did anyone learn something kewl about Gary that you did not know? Any interesting tidbits that would be fun for fans to know about?

Look up the Eidolon in the MM. Compare him to anything else that costs 800 XP. The monster is freaking amazing. He would be nightmarish at 1600 XP. I check the erratta thread and I did not see anything. Anyone else know if there is some sort of typo?

I have had zero problems with skill challenges in actual play. They have been terrific for exciting roleplay combo'd into using the hero's skills. The ingenuity of the players in using their skills and the back and forth roleplay with the GM during the challenges has been terrific. Far...

Troglodyte Mauler MM page 252 Greatclub (standard, at-will) Weapon +12 vs. AC; 2D4+4 damage, and the target is marked until the end of the troglodyte mauler's next turn There is NO entry for what this mark does. Do ALL marks = a fighter's Combat Challenge?

GAMA should have organized all the gaming retailers into a bloc and asked WotC as a unified group to please put a 15% discount cap on the D&D books. WotC doesn't make a dime extra when Amazon sells books at 40% off. There was NO need for discounts that steep in this niche industry. The...

There is no questionable popularity other than some internet delusions. The current edition of D&D is always the most popular RPG on the market by a massive margin. And "traditional fantasy" is an elusive term. There is no consensus on its meaning and there never was. Look at Arneson's...

While you can't redefine kobolds, I see no stipulations against you creating a sub-race of Kobolds called the Booger Kobolds with their own unique culture and even physical description - especially when you point out these are a mutated sub-race.

PHB 275 says "untyped" bonuses stack. We have many powers that say "power bonus" in the text. Wrath of the Gods (like many others) does not say anything and thus assumed to be "untyped" Personally, I wish WotC had explicitly labeled all all "untyped" as "stackable" so these would be easier to...

Wrath of the Gods Paladin Utility 6 Daily / Divine Minor Action Close Burst 1 Targets: You and each ally in burst Effect: The targets add your Charisma modifier to damage rolls until the end of the encounter It does NOT say "Power Bonus" whereas many others do say Power Bonus, so this appears...
