I like to use carcassonne, settlers, guillotine and labyrinth. Once i've roped them in we usually move on to card games like dominion, race for the galaxy, or gloom. still trying to find more folks hardy enough to handle imperial :-P

I just am reminded of the pain of a CCG every time I go to move all my junk and find my old star wars CCG cards. After I spent all of my 8th grade graduation money on those cards everyone who played disappeared. Magic went better overall, though today I have a few friends who, while they play...

Considering the underdark is mentioned in the monster manual I'm going to go with "yes". I think the concept of the underdark has become intrinsic enough to D&D that it's been absorbed into the primary setting.

So far I've been pretty simple minded about treasure, just kind of roughly dividing it among my encounters. I have a plan the next time I DM. First, I'll start with 2 treasure parcel sets generated randomly (thank you mr. asmor). next, i'll look at all the gear the PCs currently have and slot...

I had been meaning to ask what an LCG entailed. so it's essentially the munchkin distribution model but each player builds their own deck? For RFTG i'm super excited. gathering storm's goals made the game from good to amazing for me, and i'm hoping the next set can bring something similar.

With the, I would say, meteoric rise of full contained card games like Race for the galaxy, Dominion, and indeed the many forms of munchkin, it seems card gaming has evolved. Once, it was the purview of each individual wanting to play to go out, buy some cards, and build their own deck. Now...

So... if I understand correctly, your point is that everything that is wrong with 4e is either because it's 4e or because of WotC's marketing, and everything that is working with it has nothing to do whatsoever with it being 4e and everything to do with a marketing strategy that could be applied...

Personal Experiences with 4e: 1) brought me back to the game. I hadn't played a true D&D campaign in over 2.5 years at that point, the last one having collapsed due to lack of interest. 2) brought 3 other people back into the game, 2 from the aformentioned campaign, one who had been on a 6...

wow, that's exactly what i want... amazing. thank you.

Hello all, I've played D&D casually for as far back as AD&D, getting most of my playing in during 3.x, and finally cut my DMing teeth in 4e. My latest task has been to create more modular and simple storylines peppered throughout the world. To essentially "glue" them together I want to make...

I've always been more partial to the summoner geek animation. Also: "I'm in the tavern, roll to see if i'm getting drunk" "Ugh *rolls* yes, you're getting drunk!" "Cool are there any girls there?"

I don't think that's particularly necessary. If the half elf has picked a class that causes them to want to favor a particular stat, they'll naturally pick a DT power that matches up with that, or possibly one that matches with their secondary stat. A half elf doesn't always have to lean...

The Half-Elf Inspiring Warlord in my PCs' group picked Eyebite since it was a ranged attack that keyed off charisma.

Solitaire, best solo game ever... On a more serious note: Diablo, Diablo II, 95% of every console RPG ever made, 80% of every PC RPG made before 2000, and as others have pointed out Shadowrun often creates a feeling of "multiplayer solitaire" when players are so specialized that the other...

No surprises here. The likers still like it, the haters still hate, few people have changed their minds, the edition wars still burn. Here's an idea: If you dislike one edition or another, simply talk in a nonjudgemental way about the mechanics of the system you are playing in. Example: In...

Much like powergrid and it's different phases of turns, people will gradually learn what the different phases of the rondel entail. Each individual phase is relatively simple except for the nuances of movement. Also the game comes with 4 handy phase summary cards.

actually, the AP is never too bad. It tends to be its worst when one player controls two countries that take their turns right after the other, and even then it's not too bad. Additionally, each country only ever takes on one task in a turn with maneuver (move all units) being the longest...

Rather than the entire gametable, I'd be happy with just an updated and easier-to-use tool to arrange dungeon tiles with. As is, the old one has some bizarre bugs and doesn't cover almost half of the released material (And has less than half out of the tiles i actually own.)

This weekend I purchased Imperial, and had a chance to play on sunday night. Overall I enjoyed myself, although there were some rough patches and we weren't able to completely finish the game. As a quick summary for those unfamiliar: imperial is a game of war and investment, where the player...

Do want! Also don't forget that there was an article published today regarding dungeon delve. It detailed the name and encounter levels of all 30 delves, as well as the types of monsters inside. So if you're looking for more details on a specific delve, that might be the ideal start. I want...
