    2009 Booth Volunteers Sign-Up

    Likewise! And believe me, that's high on my priority list, too.

    Today's XKCD...

    In the last panel, the one in the middle looks suspiciously like diaglo.

    The ENnies are coming! The ENnies are coming!

    Let me guess -- the first hardcopy of Piratecat's jokes?

    The ENnies are coming! The ENnies are coming!

    CAVEAT: Anything below is from memory and strictly my own personal opinion. It should not be taken as an official ENnies statement, etc.... In general, I'd rather not see anything that fragments the awards based on format. If something is a good supplement, why should it matter whether or...

    Boston Gameday Aug 22nd, 2009 (logistics and directions linked from 1st post)

    Don't make me go all CM on you. But I am going to GenCon. I doubt I can get the time off to go to Boston, much less afford it so soon after. Piratecat is doing this on purpose, I know. I suppose I should be grateful he's not scheduling it opposite a DC gameday again!

    I've DMed 4e and I PREFER DMing: A poll

    If I ranked all the games I play and DM according to how much I liked running them, 4e would be pretty low on the list.

    But what about George R.R. Martin?

    Who is hosting the Ennies for 2009?

    It hasn't been decided yet, but we're having a judges and staff online meeting this weekend, where this and other things will be hashed out. As soon as we have stuff nailed down, we'll make an announcement. In you have questions, you can email Denise at denise at ENnieawards.com. Interested...

    Sexism in D&D and on ENWorld (now with SOLUTIONS!)

    Thank god someone so enlightened came by to show us the error of our ways. Really I had no idea this hobby I'd enjoyed for so long was so misogynistic. I guess the female players that I've gamed with since the early 80s were just confused or self-loathing. Look, there are a number of things...

    D&D 4E Running Commentary on Rel's 4e Campaign (Complete 8/2/10)

    If I ever run 4e again, I'm pretty sure I'll use 50/50 minions. Whenever they take damage, roll a d6 and they die on a 1-3. This gives them a little more survivability, and more importantly takes away the predictibility.

    Origins Event Registration: awful once again

    Yeah, not impressed. The 'if you search for only one item, it won't let you buy it, so search for two instead' message is just hysterical.

    The appeal of licensed properties

    Ditto. Were I to run a Westeros campaign last year, I'd have used Grim Tales. Now, I'd likely use SoIaF (and have, for a couple one-shots). But I'm still not really interested in a Westeros campaign, at least so far as the current setting, since it's already fairly proscribed by the novels...

    The appeal of licensed properties

    Right. But you can (and presumably will) do that absent any 'official' version of the Terminator: The RPG. You'll take what you already have and run with it. What does an official book offer you that you don't already have? You've got the basic concept and the creative urge to do something...

    The appeal of licensed properties

    Sorry, what I meant was, when playing Star Wars / LotR / Firefly, you're appealing primarily to people that are already familiar with the source material.

    The appeal of licensed properties

    But don't you generally have that to begin with? I mean, if you want to play Star Wars, you're likely going to attract players that already have the common foundation. In Buffy's case, the core mechanics that allow a 'star' surrounded by supporting players to work is pretty unique. That's...

    NC Game Day XIX (April 25-26): GenCon Jr. Rides Again!

    I need a :stinkeye: smiley. Someone will have to keep the Sammichcon tradition alive.
