    What is the RPG equivalent of "vaporware"?

    There are always products being announced that never make it to press, despite the hype or demand. In the computer industry these products are known as vaporware. Is there an RPG / gaming industry equivalent of this term?

    D&D 4E Seeking campaign world to port to 4E

    I quit playing D&D about four years ago when I moved to a new city, but I'm looking to get back into it with the release of 4th edition. I'm planning to enter the game as a DM yet I don't want to craft my own campaign world unless really pressed. Therefore I am looking for a good pre-made...

    The GenCon SoCal Thread

    They haven't said anything yet. Over on the Gen Con message boards everyone is bellyaching to get Bruce Campbell, but no one really expects they'll get him.

    How do you slay a red dragon?

    I’m trying to work up a lair for a mature red dragon that takes into account all the common tricks PCs use to slay dragons, such as feats, spells, and special attacks. The thing is, I’ve never faced a dragon in D&D and I don’t know what all is useful. I’m using a textbook dragon, straight out of...

    If you were a stunman, would you... ?

    If you were a stuntman, would you ever simply walk down stairs or would you always be tumbling or sliding your way down?

    What products do you consider innovative?

    Monsternomicon. It has changed my expectations of products. Any book that doesn't even try to add some of the format of the Monsternomicon is aiming too low to be "high quality".

    AD&D Solo Modules - what were they named?

    Back in first edition there were at least two (but possibly more) solo modules produced. I am seeking their names and, if possible, any advice on where to find them (even if I need to pay for downloads). All help is very much appreciated. :)

    Eberron: Buying?

    After getting to browse through an advance copy I have been sold. I will buy Eberron and I will run Eberron. It looks different enough for me to embrace.

    How do I meet "mature" gamers?

    Funny that you ask this now as I'll be relocating to Los Angeles in July and I'll be trying to scrape up a group of mature gamers too. Having worked in a game store I know that the answer does not lay in posting on the cork board. It is generally too young a crowd, too weird a crowd, or an RPGA...

    Why the hate for anime? (Y da hat 4 anime?)

    I HATE ANIME!!!! I really and truly hate the stuff. When I was in junior high Robotech was being broadcast for the first time in the US and all the guys in school thought it was soooo cool. I watched it twice and then was sick of it. I couldn't stand it. I do not like the episodic format, the...

    Has anybody else been checking out WarlordRPG.com since they've been spoiling stuff?

    I haven't seen a lot of talk about the Warlord RPG in ages so I thought I'd ask if folks have been looking at what they've been posting. They've been updating the site on Thursdays and so far it's looking really good to me. I don't know if I'll be buying all four books and if I do I doubt it'll...

    The NEW RAT BASTARD DM Boards are OPEN!

    So, uh, after I apply for an account do I get reviewed or something before being granted access? Most phpBBs just mail me a confirmation and I'm in, but yours didn't do that.

    Year of the BIG BOOKS?

    Excellent. The best game ever finally gets it's campaign setting printed. And it will be mine. I don't genuinely know how I feel about all these giant-sized products just yet really. I have a funny feeling that a lot of retailers won't be ordering these except by special order, so I might not...
