I'm on the way out the door now for an interview at the show, but here is what I wrote this morning. Not many crunchy bits, I'm afraid because it is for a general interest newspaper. But someone might find it interesting...

They mentioned that Dungeon and Dragon would both be represented on the new Web site and new articles would appear three times a week. Then once a month the best of those would be combined into a "magazine" but it was unclear to me whether that "magazine" would be digital or an actual print product.

Sorry to keep you from your sleep. It looks like the report from theminiaturespage.net is the verbatim press release minus a line and the closing paragraph: For more information, visit our digital newsroom at www.wizards.com/gencon2007 Wizards of the Coast, Inc., a subsidiary of Hasbro, Inc...

Although, it appears that the top part of the front page article is taken directly from the press release, so it may already be out on the wire then?

I was at the press announcement last night (I work for an Indiana newspaper) and they very definitely said that 4e would fall under OGL and they would be releasing a new SRD. They very clearly expressed a desire for third parties to continue to produce D&D compatible material. A 4e Forgotten...

I'm writing this for the paper's Web site, but thought you guys here might want to see it. By John Clark INDIANAPOLIS – Gen Con is here, like a big, fat birthday party for gamers with tons of presents and noisemakers and all your best friends are invited over. Technically, the show didn’t start...

Hey I think I just saw you! Are you wearing that Furry costume? The one with the big fluffy tail?

Hey Chris! I'm going to the show too! I'll see you there!

I just checked my voice mails from eariler today. Jason and Carrie had Alissa (sp?) at 10:56 this morning. 8 lbs and 3 ounces and 21 inches long with strawberry blonde hair. Mom and baby are doing very well. I'm going to try to make it over to the hospital on Saturday!

I have had a hard time grabbing onto a role-playing handle for this character. But finally, early in the game on Sunday I really started thinking I might have a handle on who Thorm is. In short, I think he is a Republican. As a noble and a knight, he was used to a life in the upper class...

What does the RQ system encourage? Based on what I have seen of the rules: lightly or non-armored characters specializing exclusively in one weapon and having high dodge. Why? Armor provides too many penalties and too few benefits for anyone to be heavily armored for long. And spreading your...

As an example, just looking at my character decisions here. I wanted to play a noble knight. A tank. However Runequest imposes debilitating penalties for even the lightest of heavy armor. And it gives no corresponding benefit. I was at -30 percent of some such for almost every action, and STILL...

Well, the Erroll Flynn thing is a an excellent point but probably not in the way it was intended. Let's say you wanted to play an Erroll Flynn type character in a game system that imposed substantial penalties for "unrealistic" combat actions. And that had high barriers to accomplish heroic...

I was just thinking about Runequest today and comparing it to Conan OGL, as far as my interest level. Kind of holding my interest in RQ up against my interest in Conan and comparing the two. When we first started playing Conan, I went out and bought the core book and then I bought several other...

They are adding another True event with a modern espionage theme. That sounded like fun too.

I just found out this morning that school actually starts on the 14th, the day before Gen Con starts. I think this is the first time Gen Con has taken place after school started. I had already made plans to only bring the kid to Gen Con on Saturday/Sunday, so this isn't a problem for us, but...

The more, the merrier! hohoho

And as of Wednesday, we are now down to two rooms. One for Chris and I, one for my brother and his friends. Bob will be staying with us for at least one night. Slumber Party! Xanthor, I haven't heard anything from you. Are you still interested?

As far as I know, I'm available.

I'm up for tomorrow.
