Oh, goody. I was just sthinking the other day, you know what would make D&D better? another 200+ pages of rules. I will skip this book, well all of these books. Since when did playing RPGs become an expensive hobby? Someone Yuppyized us without us even knowing it.

At this time in my life, I cannot see buying a bunch of new RPG books. When D&D 4E comes out, I will most likely buy a PHB and stop DMing and become a casual gamer. I for one, would not mind seeing the license change to Hasbro only. While 3rd party publishers have given us lots of great...

I went to Gencon for a few years while it was in Gencon. I did it for the shopping and it was only a 2 hour drive, so I could buy a 1 day pass. I found pick up games were hard to find or organize and I don't really feel a need to buy anything else game related so I will stay away from cons...

Other, Spidey and his right hand

If a movie with Jessica Simpson in tiny shorts is not a fantasy, then I do not know what is ;)

I was going to say none, but then I saw the mention of .... Gauntlet seven sorrows Most of the other games mentined above are sequals. My problem with sequals is they are the same game as the original. I have found that while the graphics are nicer and there are some nice tweaks to the...

Your professor was right. No where did he/she/it (your professor, say it was the best writing of the century, but it is a huge phenomenon and could have an immense and healthy impact on literature as a whole. I find the books very entertaining, but I enjoy lots of childrens literature. The...

The issue is they entered a magical trap. They entered a portal that takes them to a specific location. Once they defeat the challenge, there should be sufficient clues to open a new avenue of investigation. The only problem is there is only one way in and one way out. The way out is blocked...

OK this is simple. I set an opportunity for an encounter. 2 of the 4 players present wanted to follow the lead, the other two did not. Well, this lead ends to a major battle and new clues on the mystery they are involved in. The issues is, there is not way, or almost no way the two players...

Very nice, that makes sense, but only time will tell.

Congrats! I have a 13 week old and I game once a week, but my wife does not. I have two dogs and they are 4 times as hard to take care of as one dog, and I have to imagine the same goes for kids. You have your work cut out for you, but the reward is worth it all. I imagine that face to face...

"a good optimizer", that is a perfect example of the change in the game that I was talking about. The game is becoming a math problem, one where players sit and gather whatever they can to get the most powerful solution. It is not about playing tha game anymore for many players, they have...

I have DMed a good bit and this is not near the worst of power gaming, nor is it impossible to deal with, but I was hoping at third level not to have to deal with it. Powergaming is really the curse of modern day gaming, especially in d20. The game has become as much of a detailed skirmish...

This was the characters second choice because I lowered the starting level. I know there are dozens of ways to challenge the character but it always puts all of the other characters at greater risk.

I agree, I have played several of them. The point was not the age, but my lack of ability to find other gamers.

I may finally give up the game. I play with college students and have been unable to hook up with adult players and I think it is killing me. No matter how hard I try, I always seem to get a few power players in my group and they hurt the game. I just started a new campaign at 3rd level and...

Is anyone still going to gameday :p

Nice job jumping on this Buzz, you Rock! I am sorry to hear our MI friends will not be able to make it. At least now we can make anti MI jokes without fear. Anyone know any anti MI jokes? I only know anti WI jokes :(

SW Episode III is te only movie I can remember seeing this year, but there has to be another. Pregnant wife, then new baby equals, staying at home.

I am so jealous. I loved that game.
