    Monster Slayers/Heroes of Hesiod

    I’m cross posting this at WotC and EN World… Last night had a great time running this for my two kids, and I thought I would post the story and maybe encourage some other parents to give this a try. My two are a girl, just shy of 7, and a boy who just turned 5 last week. They have been...

    Distracted Players

    The Op's group sounds exactly like mine. I was frustrated by it for a while, and then just decided to go with it. All of us are adults with jobs and responsibilities. The game session is a social event, so I just let it be social.

    A Leap over Boiling Lava onto a Flying Wyvern

    This is exactly what I was gonna say as well. A great post about a positive gaming experience is turned into an opportunity for a few people to try and convince others the one right way to play. To the OP and others that have posted examples of good, fun games: Keep up the good work!

    updates of older modules

    I'm doing an on the fly conversion of Red Hand as a 4th campaign and I think it's working well. I also ran it for 3.0. I actually think it works better in 4e. With minions and using lower level monsters I have been able to really get the "you are fighting an army feel." With the mostly open...

    Red Dead Redemption

    Oops....Thought that's where I was when I posted this. Can a mod move it over?

    Red Dead Redemption

    So...anyone pick this up yet? I have read one great review, and one friend who just got it and is loving it thus far. I may pick it up for the 360....

    FLASHFOWARD #19:The Negotiation/Final Season 1/2010

    Damn...it figures. This is my favorite show on right now. I hope they at least are able to pull everything together and do a proper ending and not pull a Sarah Connor Chronicles...

    What will Masterplan be after the C&D?

    This is what I was thinking as well.

    Mearls is the new manager of D&D

    I have been reading this and multiple other RPG sites for Years. I'm mostly a lurker (I was never one that felt the need to post something unless I felt it contributed more than just my opinion). I've heard and read a lot of what Mr. Mearls has done in gaming over those years. All of it shows...

    GM Prep Time - Cognitive Dissonance in Encounter Design?

    Quoted for truth and because I can't give you XP yet :D

    Alternative system for Shadowrun setting?

    I played SR since the first book came out. I fell in love with the world right off, and still love it. But...I never really liked the system. I ran a game for a year straight back in the second edition days. It was equally fun and frustrating, even with us pretty much ignoring the matrix rules...

    Burning nostalgic for Alternity

    Loved the system back in the day. Also really loved star-drive setting. Ran a pretty long campaign at one time. The only problem I had with the system was that after a few levels and spending points all the good skills started to get maxed out. And the game could be lethal. I remember one guy...

    Mutants & Masterminds 3rd Edition

    Heh...I know what you mean. An old group of mine went a year playing alternating games of shadowrun and champions. I still can't look at a group of d6 without automatically counting the ones and sixes first... I really like 2E, but I can see the desire to clean some things up. Especially as...

    D&D Essentials - What they are and who they're for

    One other clarification. I noticed in one of the ampersand articles (I think it was last month) that they mentioned that the terrain sets are also packaged in a box, and the back of the box has a printed grid so it could be used as raised terrain. I like it a lot.

    Weem’s DM Tips for RP Prompting and Immersion

    As a DM I have been trying to encourage this type of description as well. If the player just does the "I hit and do <blagh> damage." I might give it a quick description of what happened to the target. I have a difficult group for this, as two are casual players and new to the group, and...

    Unconfirmed: More Layoffs at WotC

    I don't recall WOTC ever making a public statement about this or any of the previous rounds of layoffs.
