    Red Box: Some Constructive Criticism

    Well, I picked this up. At least the box was nice and sturdy.

    Future of WotC PDFs: Unofficial Sneak Preview?

    Luckily for WotC, since Rouse isn't with them any more, they can retcon anything they ever told him to say! Convenient! :devil:

    So where's the earl otus cover?

    I think the last (new) Erol Otus cover I saw was for the HackMaster Basic book, and before that, he was mostly doing covers for the Dungeon Crawl Classics line from Goodman and a few other HackMaster module covers.

    The Red Box Smells Weird...

    I always had a stinking suspicion that the Hollow World was filled up with poo.

    I Just Pre-Ordered the 4.5 Red Box...

    There's nothing wrong with thinking of the Essentials Line as 4.5e. Just as the Unearthed Arcana era of AD&D 1e has been retroactively referred to as 1.5e and the Skills & Powers as 2.5e, we don't need "official" permission to think of this as a revised version of 4th edition. :-) Love or...

    D&D on CNN!

    Well, this is better than having most of the information about upcoming products locked away behind a paid subscription plan! Seriously, since WotC started Insider, I've heard very little about upcoming product releases, almost to the point that I forgot they were coming out. I'm excited about...

    What will Masterplan be after the C&D?

    If true, that's too bad. The adventure tools from DDI are very lacking, and I was just beginning to learn MasterPlan. If the DDI ever gets to the level it was originally envisioned to be (with a map tool, virtual tabletop, MasterPlan type program), I would definitely subscribe again.

    \m/ The Metal \m/

    I once based a portion of my campaign on King Diamond lyrics, including an NPC represented by a miniature with the KD-style white face.

    D&D with "alt film" stars: the WotC interview

    Zak's blog is only gaming related blog in my bookmarks. He writes with great detail and enthusiasm for gaming. It seems like he still has the energetic, nuclear powerhouse creative brain of an eight-year old transposed over his adult brain dimension -- and I mean that in a good way.

    Dislike 4E? You can write off 5E

    I've got a gut feeling. Psychic tendrils pouring through the internet. Protoplasm clones positioned in powerful places. Typhoid Aboleths doling out their collectible papers.

    The New Red-Box...

    The new Red Box sounds like a fun product from what I've gathered here. However, since I don't currently have a link to D&D Insider, I'm kind of missing out on some of the free advertising. The only problem I see with the Red Box right now is that it (supposedly) only covers levels 1 and 2...

    scoop: 4e gamma world

    The idea of a Gamma World (or other sci-fi setting) being supported by the D&D 4e rules is very exciting.

    Falling off the 4ed bandwagon

    I really like the system. I feel it's a solid game. But it works so much more smoothly with the Character Generator instead of pouring through multiple books and articles in a sea of seemingly similar, never-ending power "card" options. When the Character Gen has the option for me to customize...

    Christmas Purchases

    I picked up a 1e PHB (original cover) from a used book store.

    Cheap RPG-themed gifts?

    A miniature for each player is a nice idea. The same with a unique dice bag of some kind. You can also find cheap RPG books at your local Used Book Store (depending on your area, of course). I've seen every sequel and splatbook for 3.53 and 4e on the used shelves, all priced at 50% off.

    Revised Monk Available in Compendium

    Did the Cleric feats from Dragon 379 make it into this build? I read something about Battle Cleric Amaments feat, but I didn't see it on my player's updated CB.

    Which hardcovers do you own/plan to own?

    The last books I picked up were Revenge of the Giants and the DMG 2. Sadly, the DMG 2 was a disappointment to me, but that was probably because I really liked the 3.5 DMG 2 and didn't feel that the new DMG was nearly as good, with the exclusion of the Robin D. Laws bit which was pretty much...

    Rant about the cover of the 4e Player's Handbook

    I did a similar thing, but I used the cover of the Character Record Sheets, which I thought was what they should have used for the PHB.

    The Essentials articles are atrocious.

    The khopesh is totally brutal, and therefore, is totally metal.
