http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2012/09/getting-back-to-the-story-hands-on-with-dungeons-dragons-next/1/ While the writer definitely has a bias against 4ed it's still an interesting read. He stresses an older school viewpoint of Story over Mechanics, and encourages people to check out the...

Seems it's only 19K away from success. 4 days to go. I put 15 bucks in for the HD download. Curious to see the final result.

I like ensuring mythological creatures retain their roots, make mention on their reference page somehow. I'm not sure how or if they should go too far beyond the myth, where campaign specific ideas take hold unless they do focus the core books at a true default campaign world. I like the...

Penny Arcade - C4rD \/\/4rI0rZ (working title) Gabe just revealed an alpha of a CCG card game style, dnd themed hybrid game he is messing around with... I think this is honestly where some people thought DND would go when Wizards bought the brand years ago, and once again when 4ed came out...

Also, instead of working with larger mechs of Mechwarrior(BattleTech) and Robotech, you could look into the smaller mechs of Dream Pod 9's Heavy Gear universe. Dream Pod 9 Patterned after the Anime series Armored Troopers Votoms (The Southern Faction looks alot like the Votoms), the Heavy Gear...

Maybe Running should be triple speed instead of double? Edit: Although that would be a problem still as both sides run. Perhaps an some other option to running that would allow one side to gain on another, but at a cost.. so it isn't abused.

From what I've read Umbran, I believe there are two models of Win8 tablet coming, the lower cost will compete directly with it's brethren as a purely mobile tablet device, runs on the ARM chipset, and you are locked into the "Metro" UI only. The more expensive version, (running around $1000...

I don't know if the OP has now picked up his new iPad, whichever version he was eying. Just thought I'd point out that a rumored launch/refresh of Apple's product lines is probably coming/to be announced in Sept. Why you should wait for the iPad Mini | Mobile - CNET News Which includes the...

You'll have to re-download the packet. The warlock and sorcerer were added along with and adventure.

Didn't Wizards say that characters get more specialties at higher levels. So I could see more advanced specialties at lvl 7 to 9 that tie in with organizations/concepts more strongly akin to the old prestige/paragon systems. Although I really liked the idea from d20 modern of advanced...

Anyone else see this upcoming tv series. Period Western meets Police Drama set in 1864 NY. Copper | BBC America Airs on BBC America, Aug 19th, and in Canada on Showcase Aug 26th. Showcase Trailer: Copper - Trailer 2 - Copper - Video - Showcase.ca - Official Site of Showcase Television Looks...

And keep in mind that while the Core rules for 5e is pulling and merging hopefully the best assets, from previous versions into a coherent whole, there will be a Tactical Module developed that will (should) skew a little closer to the framework that 4th does for it's combat system. Personally...

I'm cautiously optimistic. I don't remember the expected release date.. late 2013 or sometime in 2014.. I do hope they do it right.

Did Rush Limbaugh's Newsletter Steal An Image From Dungeons & Dragons? So it appears that the graphic artist for Rush Limbaugh's newsletter has traced over the original Reynolds art. So, which one looks better. Discounting the copy/paste of Rush onto the human body.. I realize this edges...

While I definitely enjoyed the movie, I think the first two were better overall. The bait and switch with Talia/Bane was nicely done, I was cluing in that the child of Ras, would still be Talia just before the reveal. They pulled in the arc that Bane worked for the League of Shadows. The...

The thing is, those names for those characters' spells came first. It's like if a scientist discovers a new species, or element, they name it, or the item gets named after them. All those names are iconic in a general sense at this point. Yes you could name Tenser's Floating Disc spell...

A very good (although Video Game centric) talk on game design concept of creating Perfect Imbalance. Penny Arcade - Extra Credits – Perfect Imbalance Balance is a tricky thing to design, and while you don't want things to directly fall back into a version of Rock/Paper/Scissors, I do think...

I just did a similar thing, to change your account email you'll need to go through the Wizards customer service system, answer some account details and your security answer, and they should be able to do it. Only took me about a half hour of back and forth communication.

You'll probably be hard pressed until the Win8 release, and shortly after, to find many laptops with Touchscreens by default. It'll probably be around launch when a few more will trickle out, and be next spring at the earliest before most regular laptops are Touchscreens with Win8, where you'll...

One of the points in the article about the iconics is the idea of personality. The Iconics in 3rd, and 4th don't carry any real personality, so it's hard for some to identify with them. (including myself here) I'd much rather see the iconics in mini comics throughout the PHB, DMG and MM...
