The strange and mystical take what they want. You alter reality to steal it back from them. You provide... leverage. My hack of the Leverage RPG to play in the Mage: The Ascension (World of Darkness) universe. No rules knowledge necessary, but some familiarity with Mage is a big plus...

Parties, sex, drugs, booze, studying... and a touch of the weird. In a well-regarded “public ivy” university, secluded away where most students are not allowed cars and there are no commuters, students and faculty have the same problems as anyone at college. Only, there might be a strange house...

Did anyone get to play Gamma World at PAX? What did you think about the game and the adventure (leaving aside any issues you might have with certain components they'll be selling later)?

Chris Sims just posted this on Twitter: http://twitter.com/ChrisSSims/status/13740775672 Andy Collins was pretty high up there in the D&D side, and often was a public face on R&D. That's big news.

GAME CANCELED due to lack of signups.

Fire away! I'm about to head home for the night and when I come back I'll answer questions about the book. Andraemos, a brass dragon, who rules a desert thanks to some bandits known as the Sand Knives. Bahamut, the big bad platinum himself, both as The Old Man with the Canaries and the level...

While I wait to get home to update my character builder, I did start reading this: Dragon 379: Skill Powers Utility powers that you can swap for your class utility powers by being trained in particular skills. Already seem pretty cool (and strong).

It's up, along with legal and quasi-legal language for its use. Still some unanswered questions, and it's mainly just to provide fan sites with a bunch of images they can use of higher quality than what's available elsewhere on their site: Fan Site Kit

Since there's no news update until Monday, I thought you guys would be interested in this (and yes, also because I'm self-promoting): Origins Awards 2009 | Critical Hits Of particular note, D&D 4e Player's Handbook lost to the Mouse Guard RPG.

Myself, along with a number of other excellent bloggers, have received preview copies of PHB2. We are all working together to put together a pretty big event around it starting March 13th, and hopefully a series of other supplementary articles about the release. In the meantime, however, I am...

Hasn't D&D XP been going on since this morning? Other than an upload to Facebook or two, I haven't seen any updates on it. No threads here, no posts by any of the RPG Bloggers, nothing. You'd think that people were out there playing games and enjoying themselves, instead of working on reports to...

I'm not sure if it appeared elsewhere and I just missed it, but the beta of the character generator includes a third at-will called "Magic Weapon" and it's marked as (PREVIEW). I checked in the Compendium and didn't see it there, and it wasn't in the original Artificer article when I first...

I'm about to head over to the ENnies to cheer on our good friend Yax from Dungeonmastering.com. I'll be liveblogging the event, however, I'm not sure if I'll be able to get on the Wifi there or not. If I can, there will be a post on http://www.critical-hits.com that I'll update with the winners...

I think this question has now come up in every 4e game I've played: When the characters take a short rest between combat and spend healing surges, leaders can use their healing powers to help, right? As long as the PCs have enough time to, say, use Healing Word twice, wait 5 minutes, use it...

Hello all, I'm back from covering Origins for Critical Hits. Of particular interest to you guys, you may want to check out the following: My audio interview with Mike Mearls http://www.critical-hits.com/2008/06/30/critical-hits-podcast-6-interview-with-mike-mearls/ Mike Mearls Q&A panel...

Page 10 of the PHB, under Example of Play: "Dave, the Dungeon Master" Finally, the recognition I so richly deserve!

Sorry if this is a faux pas: Here's the dump of my notes from the D&D Experience presentation, which I'll be editing as I get the chance: http://www.critical-hits.com/2008/02/28/dd-xp-seminar/

Hello all, Friends of mine have asked me to run a mini-campaign over the upcoming holidays. Only trouble is, I'm already running a campaign for another group. So my solution was to run some pre-packaged adventures. I have a few, but they don't really fit my requirements. I'm looking for some...

Hopefully, by now, everyone who had to evacuate because of Katrina have found a place, but in case you know of someone still looking, I thought I'd spread this around: >Larry Dixon and Mercedes Lackey are organizing efforts to assist >fans and gamers displaced by Katrina. You can read more...
