new respect for Kenzer Hi, I agree with the naysayers. How many promotions has Kenzer done sending out free products to people who simply send an email and promise to read the product and judge it on its own merits. I may go buy some of their stuff now, just to show I like their way of...

your right never was wrong Yes, your right of course, It use to be the 0 = dead. I started with AD&D and we also had a buffer. And in the spirit of humour and pickyness....OD&D.....geesh who plays that anymore? (I kid I would sell my dog for a chance to play OD&D). RK

look for older adventures Hi, For evil or non-good adventures, just look at the older 1st edition modules. A lot were just about looting places. White Plume Mountain (hey lets go get those weapons that were stolen), etc. Heck, some even started out with the PC being rounded up by the...

new abstraction I have just decide how to view hitpoints (it has only taken me 22ish years). ZERO Does not equal Death. You do not take any physical damage of note till you hit zero. Zero is not dead, never was. Zero is simply the point at which you can not help yourself anymore. You are...

a debt of friendship Hi, I owe Mr. Gygax a debt of friendship. While I never met him, I have 5 friendships that are over 20 years old that only exist because of D&D. So thank you Sir, and God Speed, RK

C&C Hi, I will be buying the 4th PHB, but as I am the GM of my group, we will be sticking with C&C. We just started a Lankhmar Campaign, and we only play about 1/month. However, I may try to convince them to play C&C via the Virtual Tabletop. RK

I wish someone would do something about the names Hi, Good points Merric, But I just wish someone would have came up with better names. I would like to see names like WARPAWN Flying Golden Rook Hopping Plaid Knightborn rk

mine Hi, Thought I would love but didn't: Werewolf (the old wod). Love werewolves, hated the fluff of the setting. Thought I would not like, but did: Space: 1889. The genre (at that time) was not my cup of tea, but the GM was great (an actual rocket Scientist). And the game was a...

Only if... But that only holds true if the Players know the whole story. A fight that happens with no PC involment is going to be hearsay anyway. They may know the outcome of the adventuring party vs the band of Trolls. They may be able to guess the other parties levels. But they will not...

4.ed elements Hi, So do we know how much if any is going to be declared open? If so, has he just given the OGL a shot of 4th edition elements that will pre-date the release of 4ed? If so will this open the door for those that want to try and use the OGL instead of going to the GSL? Just...

See SEE SEE So, We have proof that the brass is telling designers and developers that they must use words like Awesome and Rad in talking about 4th edition. Man, so all their blogs and post are totally invalidated. Geesh RK

yuck Yuck!

labyrinth Hi, Due to my 2 year old son loving the movie, I have seen Labyrinth probably 20 times in the last 3 months. It is full of trap-y goodness. Some are right on top of each other. Tons of different types. RK

Ted McGinley It is kinda funny, but only if you know the Ted McGinley effect. The guy shows up on a sit-com and it gets cancelled. So, when a show opens with him in it, you chuckle that "Oh, this show is doomed". I got it, at least RK

from what I understand Hasbro is not going to tell WOTC what to do to make money. They just look at WOTC bottom line. Whatever happens to D&D is squarely on the people in charge of the WOTC Division(?). All of the above is pure conjecture. But lets continue with Fantasy. In 2009 Hasbro...

homebrewing--Easier As the editions progress it becomes easier for me to homebrew. But the reason is very silly. As the editions progress the other members of my group read and study the rule books less and less. So, since I have to explain everything anyway, made up stuff is the same as...

as long as It could be cool. I have always liked the concept of using divine energy in multiple ways. I have just never thought of doing multiple things at the same time. I think also my concerns are founded upon my group. If they can turn something into a joke or snide comment at the...

Does not seem fluid Hi, I love the flavor of the intent (As I am getting), Paladin's using Aura's and Divine energy to do stuff. Cool. But, it just does not seem fluid. I am getting the books and will try them out, but I am not seeing the simpification of the system. --I think I see...

Jenga blocks on top of your battle mat. You can still tick off the length, and the players see that they have no wiggle room. RK

I think so I think they need something in one package that can be used to play the game completly, in order expand the market. Something they can get into Toys R Us and such, and something they can really market the heck out of. That is what it is. They need something to Market to beginning...
