    40 year old man wants to join my game

    I'm 33. Recently, I've ran games for 20 year old college students, mostly women. I've also had a 16 year old play in one of my games (the brother of another player). I've played in games where I was the youngest -- the oldest player being about 12 years older than me. It all depends on the...

    Are you planning on participating in Worldwide D&D Gameday 2007?

    There's no FLGS in my area doing anything with the WotC provided stuff, but I will be "celebrating" with my own D&D adventure at a local convention that weekend.

    Repositioning the "Wizards Presents:" books

    The Digital Initiative is all about online gamers. It makes sense that WotC would listen to them if that's who they want to get $10 a month from.

    POLL: Would you play D&D without a Skill System?

    Since I will soon be playing OD&D and then Holmes/Moldvay-Cook D&D, I voted "Yes, I could play it, but I would improvise my own."

    Fiction in Dragon?

    Since page count and printing costs are no longer an issue for Dragon (at least on the publisher's end), it makes perfect sense to include fiction again. I'd love to see it.

    A Technical Look at D&D Insider Applications

    My concern for this is for the brick and mortar store. Will they have to shrink-wrap their D&D 4e books to keep people from copying/scratching off/stealing the code? If they do, that's one more reason for people to buy their books online.

    How Would 3.75 Impact Your 4.0 Decision

    This depends on what "3.75" is. If 3.75 means a new PHB to replace the one I have for 3.5, then no, I'm not interested in it. However, if 3.75 means an additional PHB to legally offer generic and unified versions of the non-SRD mechanics put out by WotC, then I would be very interested. As...

    A mystery race ?

    I am hoping it is some kind of panda-human hybrid, called Pandablood. They can be from the Pandawild plane and have the prestige class of Bamboostalker.

    H2 name changed to 'Thunderspire Labyrinth'

    I miss the days when D&D was advertised as "Fantasy Adventure Game."

    H2 name changed to 'Thunderspire Labyrinth'

    Thunderville would be much cooler.

    Castle Whiterock...

    Yep, the 56 page Gazetteer appears to have the same dark greyscale background that the Gazetteer box set did. For me, that makes it illegible. I know that isn't the case for everyone, though. The other books appear to have the standard DCC minimalist, clear lay-out, which is good.

    D&D 4E Does anyone agree with me about 4E?

    My signature is longer than my reply.

    Castle Whiterock...

    Does this have the same greyish background that the Gazetteer had?

    H2 name changed to 'Thunderspire Labyrinth'

    I wonder if the unfortunate acronym of L.O.L.S. had anything to do with the change? :D The new name is a little better. I'd still prefer it if WotC would stop smashing two words together in order to create newfantasywords. While this type of naming convention does have precedence in D&D...

    Races and Classes cover on Amazon!

    I really don't know what you're arguing about. I've made it very clear that I don't believe that everyone who buys this product, or wants to buy it, is necessarily a sucker. I've made the example as elementary and simple as possible. If you feel it's torturous, I'm afraid I don't know how to...

    If these books had one-shot adventures with pre-gens so that we could play limited versions of 4e today (knowing full well the details might change) that would have been a great sales pitch and marketing gimmick, making them worth the Amazon.com price at least.

    I think you're not understanding me, but that is through no fault of yours. My sentiment and syntax was unintentionally obscure. Let me try to explain this permeation of a human insult by offering this example: Think of a "human insult" as something akin to the HSN offering "limited edition"...

    Will you buy the preview books?

    As far as I know, I won't be buying any of the preview books.

    Heh. Most things involving the exchange of currency are. :) An insult to one's humanity. Not be confused with a humane insult.

    Which is why I called it a hypothetical insult.
