    Coming Soon!

    Look, I'm just going to let the cat out of bag and say that I plan to just film myself playing D&D in the nude. Regardless of physical fitness, it's the right thing to do. Shock value, folks. That's the name of the game. Plus, pants are wholly uncomfortable. On this, I think everyone can agree.

    Coming Soon!

    Hello Kzach. Hopefully I can clear the air with you. I am currently a freelance designer who has published print products with Wizards of the Coast (Monster Vault 2, Dungeoneer's Survival Handbook, Lair Assault: Attack of the Tyrantclaw, many DDI articles), Open Design (Soldiers of Fortune), and...

    Ryan dancey hints that DnD will become a board game....

    It's not a board game folks.

    Ryan dancey hints that DnD will become a board game....

    A lot of the commentary comes from camps trying to keep their way of gaming--which is fine--but, it's political in nature. As for predictions, I never really put too much credit into them. It's easy to be a Nostradamus of the gaming industry. If you even clip a little bit of truth (which is easy...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E Forgotten Realms: what will it look like?

    The timeline is established. I would love to the next iteration of the Realms to be of all eras. Keep your eyes peeled.

    Got an idea for a column? Pitch it here.

    No way, man! Your video. I can't XP you though without spreading around some love.

    Got an idea for a column? Pitch it here.

    I paint a lot, especially Games Workshop minis (I have mega armies in Warhammer Fantasy). I'll add this to the mix if the Guvnor approves.

    I can't keep doing it

    I did, and still do. I know many of the designers that worked on it feel the same way as well. :p In short, the one day I showed up to play in a long campaign with my 3.0 books, and the DM said they moved on to something new, was the day I consider that edition to have ended.

    Got an idea for a column? Pitch it here.

    If Morrus brings me on to do this, that's a question for him. This would be a Matt James Production sold and branded to EN World. They can do as they wish with it. Of course, it will have EN world branding all over it. In short, it's EN world's ;) Edit: "Sold" can mean anything from monetary...

    Got an idea for a column? Pitch it here.

    Well, anything and everything D&D. There's a ton of news now that I can play off of. Plus, as an active freelancer for both Paizo and WotC, I could provide some interesting content relating to future releases, commentary, advice, and anything related to our beloved hobby. I don't want it to be...

    Got an idea for a column? Pitch it here.

    Can't give you XP, but sounds like a neat idea. I'd love to do a column for you, but in video format rather than scrawl. XP me if you think video segments would be cool for EN world.

    D&D lovers who hate Vancian magic

    Vancian magic can stay, but it can't be so unbalancing as to disincentivize the play of other character types (fighter, et al.)

    D&D 5E (2014) Hope for an open GSL?

    I think we'll see a less stringent game license. I'm not sure if it will be as open as the OGL though.

    D&D 5E (2014) Hope for an open GSL?

    This is both confusing and scary. Are you saying that the owners of the IP should not be in control?

    D&D 5E (2014) [5E] To Vance or not to Vance - That is the Question

    I vote for optional. I think 5e should be all about ala carte.

    A mini-rant re: Pathfinder and D&D

    My pants are comfy today. And yes, this post contributes an equal amount to this discussion. Do what makes ya horny. No one can ever tell you you're wrong. The same goes with the RPG you decide to enjoy.

    Kickstarter-Style Preorders: The Future of RPGs?

    I was wounded in Iraq back in 2005. It is about how my life changed, and how I now deal living with disabilities from those injuries. Very non-political and personal. Very difficult subject-matter that makes one dig deep! :cool:

    Dear Mike & Monte

    A lot of the recent content does just this. DDI has had a facelift and it's very refreshing.

    Kickstarter-Style Preorders: The Future of RPGs?

    Kickstarter offers a bit of reprieve from inherent risk with a project. I had used Kickstarter to get a documentary I am doing up and running (non-gaming related). It is great for these types of projects.
