    D&D Comic hits stores today!

    I felt the same way waiting for the Dark Ages plotline in Astro City to wrap up.

    D&D Comic hits stores today!

    Got it, well got two for two different covers. A brief intro to the main group and an intro to the upcoming Darksun comic. Not bad for a buck. Looking forward to next month. I am curious though about how close if at all the comic will reflect the rules and feel like a D&D comic. Some of the...

    Which of these games would you rather play (and why)?

    Option two over option one, but I'm not especially excited about either choice.

    How Close is D&D Encounters to you?

    A half mile, according to Google.

    What would WotC need to do to win back the disenchanted?

    Yeah, true, but I bought Magic of Incarnum and Weapons of Legacy anyway. :.-(

    How were you introduced to RPGs?

    My father ran a game for his Army buddies when we were stationed in Germany back in the early 80s. I watched them play and occasionally rolled dice for them. Finally he let me create a character an play when I was eight. I've been playing ever since.

    System Mastery and Younger Gamers

    I've never let that stop me from posting before. :) Well YMMV of course, but I'm 37 and have been playing RPGs since I first sat in on my father's campaign when I was eight and I really enjoy all aspects of system mastery, as I define the term. I'm inclined to disagree. I don't know how...

    Essentials nostalgia - the death of martial healing

    When we do this in 4E the 40K part of my brain kicks in and I have visions of flamer or 3" templates being dropped on the lot of us.

    No Dice <Nerd Rage>

    Here I thought you were going to go off on a rant about Amber or some other diceless system. Tell you what, send me your email and I can get you in on this awesome PBEM game I'm playing with the Nigerian Finance Minister.

    George Lucas...WTF?

    I think part of the problem in my comprehension of this is that while the company itself never referred to their product as a lightsaber, the C&D letter quotes numerous bloggers and tech websites who refer to it as a lightsaber. I understand the need to protect IP even under what seems like...

    Psionics: Yea or Nay?

    I haven't cared much for psionics in any edition. I'm more open to settings such as Dark Sun or Eberron where psionics don't feel tacked on after the fact, but even so I'm not a fan.

    Problem Player Woes

    First read this essay on Geek Social Fallacies, then have a chat with him about his play style and its fit with your group. If you can't come to some sort of accord, boot him and don't look back.

    I want to make a gauntlet - and not the glove kind.

    The one I remember most from an old 1E game was a pit trap, which while triggered by the first one over the pressure plate opened on a delay so the guy in the middle got it. The trap doors opened dumping the unfortunate fellow (read: me) down a polished marble slide in to a pool of Oil of...

    Do you pull the chain?

    I don't think so. A 10x10 room with a chain dangling from the ceiling? 4E or hell even Chainmail that just has a big neon sign saying 'THIS IS A TRAP" but even knowing its a trap we pull it anyway, even if there was no secret door in the equation. Thirty years ago a room with your description...
