    WotC, really? No...really? You can't maintain a publishing schedule?

    I get 100% of my articles via RSS feed (in fact, probably 80% of my browsing is via reader/rss) so I don't really mind too much. The quality of the articles is more important, though I do say the changes in publishing schedules has been quite concerning to me. I'm paying for compendium access...

    First 4E video game to appear 2011.

    The bummer is that it's realtime. Gosh, do I long for a tactical turn based crpg based on 4E... everyone complained that it seems like the ruleset is made to be that game. I guess they could make it realtime and just have cooldowns or something, but unless you can directly translate powers in...

    [Star Wars] Somebody bought the license

    I think that would be the best bet - seems to be the future of bigger RPGs. The SW name would make it an easy gift, too, especially if they could get it into bigger stores like the red box was able to do. Can't you see Grandma seeing some starwars box, picking it up, seeing cards maybe some...

    Superhero RPG w/o the kitchen sink?

    From Mutant City Blues website Seems like that fits pretty well, in fact, after this thread pointed me to it I think I might have to add it on my list to try in 2011.

    5e what would you do?

    I might be late to the party here, but these are my thoughts... Future WotC releases (though I feel a "5E" is ages away) would need to focus on the things they can do that an average gamer can't get on their own for free. As the world becomes online and more people get hooked, more...

    World Building - Best guides

    I highly suggest this as a way to do world building as a collaborative game: http://www.clanwebsite.org/games/rpg/Dawn_of_Worlds_game_1_0Final.pdf

    Castle Ravenloft: My first game

    I agree with the game love - my girlfriend got interested once I opened it up and insisted we play a second game. We enjoyed it. I think a more bullet point version of some of the rules would work - the diagonal rule for instance was explained a bunch in several paragraphs but a bulletpoint...

    Alternity 2e Wish List

    I dug Alternity. I wonder if there's really a path for it, though. I mean you could always do a setting book using 4E mechanics. Do they want to do a full release with cards, etc. like Gammaworld? I had a player play their entire first day (and 4e game) in KotS with a d12 instead of a d20...

    Ravenloft Board Game Delayed Again?

    Bummer... guess I'll call the local places and see if there're any copies left. Amazon isn't much cheaper (whereas its significantly cheaper on the print books) just gotta hope there's some left. Do we know if some non FLGS places are expected to have any - toy stores, book stores, etc?

    Ravenloft Board Game Delayed Again?

    From Amazon after I checked the shipping date and it had changed: Anybody else see this on Amazon? Did I miss official word?

    Essentials Rules Compendium preview copy in hand

    If there ever was a D&D book that just screams for a kindle version, this is it. Have any future errata auto updated, and you're good to go. Please please please wizards, make it happen!

    Not seeing anything in the first post, what eliteness did I miss? :)

    The Essential Knight

    I just looked at the release calendar, and with the first book out in September, aren't these previews a little earlier than they usually do previews? I was guessing these were out in August until I looked... ...that's a good sign though, I was excited enough by this preview to start...

    Hasbro quote on MtG

    I have to say the Xbox Live Duels of the Planeswalkers brought me back in. I hadn't played Magic in a decade and saw it was on sale for a cheap price on arcade. I took a look at the screenshots and it looked very polished. Quickly beat it, bought the expansion (and since the second expansion)...

    DMG2 - Replacing magic items with inherent bonuses?

    Keep in mind, In the CB if you turn on the option it will take either the Inherent Bonus OR the weapon bonus whichever is higher... so you can still have some cool weapons to give a character the edge. In my game, I haven't spent too much time on the buying and selling of any weapons they use...

    DMG2 - Replacing magic items with inherent bonuses?

    I'm a convert to Inherent Bonuses and custom boons... we switched early paragon with a series of quests with each party member searching out their destined ring to reform a broken order. Each ring represented a plane (mortal, fey, shadow, divine, elemental) and has boons that go with it. I've...

    Review of the RPGA Reward "Tomb of Horrors"

    I just need to figure out how to register my games to be eligible for the other reward...

    Players in a military order

    Go watch Band of Brothers and The Pacific... I think it's easy to see how small groups of soldiers have a cool mission that is beyond just someone generic in the line.

    Legomania!

    What a cool idea. I wish they weren't so pricy... I've gotta keep my eyes peeled though for some cheap deals. Building dungeons would be fun, it would be neat to get a wider variety of monsters though. I'm all for Lego coming out with their own RPG... or WotC licensing or whatever! What's...

    Review of the RPGA Reward "Tomb of Horrors"

    This really made me wonder what they're going to do for the full super-adventure. A couple of thoughts: 1) Seems deadly while being quite fun and exciting. 2) I think my first run of this would be pretty fun using the Essentials Builds for a standard party. 3) I think puzzles and crazy...
