    Passing the Buck: A History of the Buck Rogers Franchise

    Mike, Ming the Merciless is a Flash Gordon villain, not a Buck Rogers character - alas, Buck was also a "Yellow Fear" medium, as it evil empire were the Han Empire (a.ka. chinese main ethnical group). In the modern version, they made the Han into the R.A.M. (Russo-American Mercantile).

    [UPDATED!] The Unsung (Female) Half of the D&D Team!

    "The books themselves mention (...) Shelly Mazzanpble,(...) which is at least 12 women working on D&D Morrus, isn´t this SHELLY MAZZANOBLE (who also wrote "Confessions of a Part-time Sorceress" and "Everything I need to know I learned from Dungeons & Dragons")?

    Mike Mearls Answers Questions About "Dungeons and Dragons Next"

    By this logic, 3e must have been a total crap-tastic failure, since, ONE YEAR after launch, WotC was working in a new edition - and yes, 3.5 WAS to be 4e - who tell us of that is none other than Monte Cook (THAT Monte, the one who is back), but somewhere in the middle high management decided...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder outselling D&D

    One thing most people are not considering is that Lisa may be wrong. ATTENTION: I am not saying in any way "Lisa is lying" - I am saying wrong, as in not right. The RPG is industry is well know as an industry that don´t market research, and don´t know how many customers it has (EG. nobody...

    WIR S1 Tomb of Horrors [SPOILERS!! SPOILERS EVERYWHERE!!]‏

    This line is the greatest proof that the Tomb was made to challenge the players, and not the characters: "night´s good color" is ORANGE, the color that is good to wear at night/that has good visibility at night. So the line says: shun the devil green face (as it will kill you), press the...

    HA! to all of you!

    From: "Top 5 Roleplaying Games Q4 2010": http://www.enworld.org/forum/rpg-industry-forum/303589-icv2-top-5-roleplaying-games-q4-2010-a.html ...Ok, so maybe it´s "HA!" to all who was expecting Paizo to had (already) passed WotC in sales, after Q3, when they tied for First Place. From this...

    [WotC's recent insanity] I think I've Figured It Out

    FALSE. What YOU have seen or read is an exception that does not nullify the rule. For the most part, people either play in a myriad of ways - and that, of course, is just an IMHO and a personal point of view - as mostly EVERYTHING posted here in En World, by the way... But we are all such a...

    What to look for in 2011?

    By the WotC Adventure Tools Monster Builder last update (from the "Source" search tool), we can also expect the following products (not cited above): - Advanced Dungeon Master Guide (an Essential product?) - D&D Ravenloft Expansion "Title TBD" - (a supplement to the Campaign Setting?) - D&D...

    What are the average heights (inches or mm) for D&D large, huge, & gargantuan minis?

    A little tip from a miniatures gamer: Miniature height is (mostly) measured to the "eyeline" (that is, of course, a line in the height of the minis eyes). ...Beacuse of all the difference in height caused by overstreched arms (i.e. werewolf lord), helmets, crowns etc. NOT that D&D minis...

    Is D&D all about murder and pillaging?

    "Is D&D about Murder?" You know, this makes me think about the G.I.Joe Cartoons: you know, where the Joes shot 1 bazzilion bullets on the Cobra troops, blow their tanks and planes - and no one dies...so you can put war in a kids show, and no one comes asking "Is G.I.Joe about murder?".

    The New Red-Box...

    FireLance have the right answer here: they got only up to the 2nd level so the buyer will have an enormous incentive (continue playing) to download the Free Character Builder..that´s a short step of subscribing to DDI. AND let´s stop calling this a "one level starter set". It is a ONE level-up...

    Disappointed in Dungeon, at least for adventures.

    By the way, it is more than the total number of characters in "Hamlet". ...Thereby, War of the Burning Sky should be better than "Hamlet", also... (Ok, sarcasm aside, is really interesting that a Level 1 adventure has more characters -PCs not included!- than a play. This makes one think if we...

    Ki versus Psionic: Power Sources Do Battle (in a semantic sort of way)

    Interesting fact: Altough most people links Psionics with the 2nd Edition, they have been around for a longer time: indeed, they are in D&D just from the beginning, from the "little brown soft-cover books" OD&D: they appeared in the 3rd supplement, Eldritch Wizard(1976) - the "naked woman laid...

    Holmes Edition - Weapons Question

    Baumi, if your friend is SUCH a purist (using only the rules contained in the Basic Box), yes, that WAS the way that things happened: the Fighter was the perfect "defender" (an euphemism for "meat shield" ;) ) - not causing much damage, but able to stay in front of the party, taking the brunt of...
