Lots of great points and ideas. I think some of the best game-chaging ideas will come after we play with the devices for a while. All it takes is one person with an innovation, and the best ideas will spread. For instance: I remember the first time I gamed with Piratecat, and he sat in the...

Are your players the type of people who enjoy writing? You might want to offer them extra XP to write an in-character journal (either for posting someplace like our Story Hour forum, or just to be shared amoungst your group). Doing that might help them get inside their character's heads and give...

Holy ----! Good thing I picked them up when they were new. WotC is coming out with a Deckbuilder's Kit which sounds to be a good selection of commons and uncommons for a group of friends to build multiple decks from. Might be a cheap investment to supplements your old cards. Comes out in May...

Yeah, I'm scratching my head on this one. I've been to GenCon@Indy every year save one, and not once have I, or anyone with me, noted the problems which you report. We find it a very nice place to visit. I'm just sad that I won't be able to go this year - vacation with my in-laws has to take...

There were too many people around the Surface table to get any good pics every time I went by. Didn't get a good look at the structure, but it was a little higher than a coffee table; probably resting on a folding square table would be my guess. It was back in the room where you could check out...

Here's an anecdote to chew on. As some of you might recall, Gary was kind enough to run a game for us ENworld mods at GenCon '07. We had a great time, as recounted elsewhere in Rel's thread. At the end of the night, most of us had brought something for Gary to sign (for instance, I'd brought my...

You and me both. When it came out, I didn't think it stupid, but I did consider it a bit of a sideline. (Mostly, I'm sure, because I don't own an Xbox360.) But if the number of people I saw at PAXeast playing with physical cards for the first time after playing the Xbox game is any indication...

Excellent. Keep us posted; it's always fun to hear stories from new players and old players returning to the game!

WotC should print that out and include it with every beginning adventure. Great advice for anyone to take to heart.

I think WotC was hammered with much more demand for D&D than they expected - which is a good thing for them! The podcasts with Mike, Jerry, Scott and Wil really primed players to want to check out the game, I think, and Piratecat's example above of jumping in to volunteer to run more games is...

Nope; not for nearly ten years, now.

Because the ability to move threads is borked right now? S'mon, I'm going to close this thread, but please feel free to start a new thread in Meta. Thanks!

Ditto. So, yes, it was a short survey for me, just like they promised! :)

Stop sniping back and forth and get back on topic, please.

I've been looking forward to this Path for several months. I'm really thinking about subscribing to the AP just so I can get the pdfs. Glad to see hex maps still alive and kicking. :)

Found my copy of A Shakespearean Actor Prepares, and I'm glad I did. Paragraph for paragraph, one of the best book on Shakeapeare performance I've ever read.

David Hasselhoff as Nick Fury?!?!?!? No wonder my brain refuses to remember such a thing ever existed, even if written by David Goyer. The new Iron Man 2 trailer is soooo good. Looks like I have a movie to go see in the theatre this year!

Good idea! Wish I could join in, but I'll be at PAX East as well... too bad, because CompStrat is my FLGS. :)

That's interesting. For someone who's as big a fan of the Doctor as you, what would it take for you to play an RPG of it? It seems to me you'd be the primary audience for this product. (Or is it just a matter of lack of time, not the game itself, that makes you say you'd never play it?)

Looks good, but would be better placed in the 4E forum.
