Another point I meant to make earlier is that if done correctly, over time, this would become the preffered method of gaming. Yes you could still gather together in a physical location to do face to face gaming and still have the social interactions that I think are such a great part of our...

I am not sure if I am remembering this correctly or not but I think the intent with 4E, at least early on, is to bring the campaign scope down to a more local level. Actions would be more Duchy or Kingdom based, to use a european fuedal analogy, rather than globe spanning. This would really...

See I think this is the very reason our hobby has grown stagnant and does not draw in more people year over year. The absolute need to be in a room in front of people limits your opportunities. There are other hurdles like complexity that need to be addressed in the mechanics but I don't think...

A common issue. A barrier to playing. Eliminate barriers and you get more players. Also may problem exactly. All do able and more or less promised. Now this is the kind of stuff I am talking about. Well said. These are the kind of features that will change how we play. This point cannot...

See this is where I vehemently disagree and I hope they will not go. In my opinion, all the MMORPG out there are not RPGs. Small groups of RPG'rs aside, they are more or less button mashing games in some shape or form. Its about building, buffing up and resource managment. Roleplaying, real...

While I have been away from active gaming over the last few years, I have been a passionate participant of our hobby for almost 30 years. It is with this frame of reference I implore you, PLEASE GET THIS RIGHT! As I reviewed the Youtube clips on the announcement of 4E I found my self curious as...

All I can say is BITE ME WOTC!!!!!!!!!!!!! Friggin grave robbers.

Is the basic book sufficient? I am thinking of picking it up to run a once a month game. To little time try and run an immersive style campaign and I am thinking the campiness of this premise would fit the bill sufficiently.

Thanks for the link Stormborn.

I have very little time for gaming these days with 2 kids and a job that keeps me on air planes quite a bit. I do miss sitting around a table with good friends throwing dice at each other. I do have time to run a game about once a month for 3-5 hours and I have been contemplating picking up...

The edges appear beveled. Now THAT is craftsmanship!! You could almost play a game of Shawdow Run on one table with these dice. Almost.

The only good Gnome is a dead Gnome. The are nothing more than a 1-HD encounter. Relegate them to plot device and window dressing.

Sorry. There is sufficient amount of absurdity in the game as it is. All I need to hear is about some Half-Thri-keen dorw ani-paladin on his Shimano gear Trek rock hopper!!!

I have been collecting Dragon since I started playing in the early 80s. I love the magazine and buy it if the value for that particular issue is marginal. Its a compulsion at this point. Dungeon is increbily valuable. I have only run 3 or 4 modules out of it whole cloth but I have stolen from...

Since the launch of D20 I stuck a fork in the meatloaf and said enough. The mechanics are not perfect but it is efficient enough for me to understand and I can find people that know how to play it. Hurdle sufficiently crossed. I have purchased probably about 10 or 12 different game systems over...

Personally I don't think there will be a 4th edition. At least not under Hasbro's watch. I think the task of launching a profitable edition of the game in light of a fractured market that is "partially" insulated by the OGL will bring them to the conclusion that the Brand of D&D is only valuable...

Dungeons & Dragons XP Professional service pack 12

Re-Reading the Puzzle Palace by James Bamford. Outstanding look at the history of the NSA.

I have started creating 2. One for my homebrew of 20 years and another one for a very short lived Realms group here in Florida. Since I am not actively gaming right now, they are not getting much use or update. For the short time I was working on them I saw a substantial benefit in managing a...

Courtesan. Sorry. I could not resist.
