    Borders Bankruptcy Liquidation

    As a complete aside, I do like that picture. It's like they are trying to figure out where the heck all the buzzards came from. They probably need a hug. :) That said, I agree with the brick and mortar store dealio. There is so much out there that I can not see on-line replacing. Would you...

    I've posted my entry. Yes, tis' a bit early but as I'll be asleep in a few hours I didn't want to sleep through the deadline (cause I'm two hours behind it). Cheers!

    Borders Bankruptcy Liquidation

    The last time I went into the Borders near me, a couple months ago - so before this Chapter 7 deal, they didn't even have any RPG material on the shelves. There was no D&D, no Pathfinder, nothing. I left without buying anything.

    Are forums representative of users?

    If their numbers are anywhere near accurate, then I think the explanation for posters spending more is mayhaps related to those people being exposed to more. For instance, had I not been active here (for a number of years just a lurker), there would have been books, tools, and bits I'd never...

    Treasure In A Land Without Coin Or Quality Goods

    Dittos. Land itself is immensely valuable in a campaign of expansion. And with that land, any of the resources, be it critters, raw materials, or lost materials (ruins, etc.). And don't forget that the PCs are probably going to have to report in from time to time. Depending on what...

    How important is third-party support?

    I'm thinking 3rd Party Support is pretty much essential anymore. If for no other reason than the 1st Party Folks can not do everything themselves (and often shouldn't try). For instance, WotC has a horrible track record with pre-generated modules. If there was no 3rd Party, you'd be stuck...

    Comtemplating the Mearls articles - thinking out loud or 5E Design Ruminations?

    Candles. Camp fires. Lanterns. Moonlight. Torches. Sunlight. Just sayin'. :p

    Comtemplating the Mearls articles - thinking out loud or 5E Design Ruminations?

    If there is a 5e, or Ee, I hope that there is no direct tie to the electronic world. Meaning, let me buy my books and let me opt in if I want to for the electronic editions. A book doesn't need cords or batteries or an internet connection. I want to be able to play when I want to play - not...

    IRON DM 2011--Rules, Entries, Judgements, & Commentary

    Thanks. I appreciate the critique, and do feel it's valid. Going into this I thought I had plenty of time, but as I mentioned, work suddenly took a turn and I've had late nights. Not an excuse, but for me, it's hard to be creative, or cohesive, when I can't relax and let things flow - things...

    What version(s) of D&D do you play?

    If I had a group (sniffle), we'd be playing Pathfinder or a Pathfinder/3.5e mashup. I tried 4e, but didn't desire to continue with that system.

    Okay. I've posted my entry. I have to say, as seems to happen, work suddenly got stooopid busy, so I apologize in advance if I it seems like I missed the whole concept (cause I may have). And yes, I did have to rush... Dag-um real world being all inter-feery!

    Thanks for those links and the example. It is appreciated - especially since I had only really ever gleaned the past competitions.
