For those of you who will still be around on the Sunday after the gameday, Queen Dopplepopolis and I will be hosting a brunch at our place in the Baltimore suburbs. Festivities (re)start at 11:30 -- shoot QD an email at elizabeth (dot) bauman (at) gmail (dot) com if you're planning to come so...

It's been a long time since they dry-gulched his daddy, took the herd and the man's gun. They didn't see him a hidin' beneath the haymound, and he made it out before the barn burned down. A few years out East didn't hurt nothin'; he's a right-grown man, now, and now he's coming home to take back...

The year is 1805. Yusuf Karamanli, the dastardly prince (Bashaw) of Tripoli, has captured the USS Philadelphia and enslaved its crew, demanding an exorbitant tribute and ransom for their release. The young nation cannot allow this provocation to go unchallenged. As American agents in the...

QueenDopplepopolis (a.k.a. DangerGirl!) and I will be hosting a pre-gameday BBQ for the gameday at our house in Glen Burnie. We'll have food for all comers (so please RSVP by e-mailing elizabeth (dot) bauman (at) gmail (dot) com), but please bring a beverage (or two) for yourself (and possibly...

Autumn 1862. The War Between the States rages on. Rumors and telegrams intercepted by spies in Pinkerton's secret service have convinced President Lincoln that the Confederates have found a secret weapon deep in the jungles of Central America. Confederate fillibusters led by the supposedly...

1815. January 8th. 2 Hours Before Dawn. Villere Plantation. Nine Miles South of New Orleans. Although the British and their powerful Hessian allies menaced Washington mere months ago in a plot to steal the Holy Grail, and attacked Baltimore Harbor only weeks later hoping to unleash an ancient...

I'm sure this has already been determined by numerous others, but I'm not having any luck. Based on the way I'm reading the effects of the Grab action, a grabbed target is Immobilized...but still able to freely attack the creature that grabbed it, or even other, adjacent creatures. Is that...

The DC Gameday forum is currently inaccessible. As of right now, clicking on "General Discussion" at DC/MD/VA Gameday Forum - EN World D&D / RPG News takes me to some Conan forum, and not to the DC Gameday threads. Any idea how I can get to them?

The thread categories/prefixes in the hosted forums (specifically, the DC Gameday forum) seem to have disappeared. Is there any way we can get them back? Am I missing some moderator link I should be seeing?

The third semi-annual ENworld National Capital Area Gameday will be held on 18 October 2008 in the second floor party rooms at 2800 Quebec St. NW, Washington, DC, a short walk from the Cleveland Park Metro. Join fellow adventure, storytelling, and role-playing gamers here in the nation’s...

Although the new "edit" button apparently allows one to edit the text of a post without navigating to the "advanced editing" page, I don't seem to be able to save any changes I make there, forcing me to copy any changes I attempted to make, repeatedly click the "edit" button, and then navigate...

Has anyone seen an FAQ for Keep on the Shadowfell? Are we expecting any Web Enhancements from WotC? I would have imagined that the release of the first 4e adventure would have had more fanfare on of the official site...

Obviously Necromancer Games (and apparently Paizo publishing) are already in. I'm hoping, though, that everybody who showed up at the conference call joins up, as well. They're all great publishers. Anybody want to make any choice announcements!? ;) Adamant Entertainment EN Publishing...

This begs the question...how will GMs in 4e know what creatures represent an appropriate challenge for their party? We've heard that encounter design is supposed to get easier...but if CR is going away, how will that actually happen? Surely the designers don't think that DMs prefer to guess...

Weak-willed D&D fiend that I am, I've already pre-ordered the two 4e "preview" products, Wizard's Presents: Classes and Races, and Wizard's Presents: World and Monsters. Will there be enough rules material in these two products to let us start playing the new edition of D&D? If we can't start...

I'm hoping to collect some info here from some you you local experts about good hotels in the area for the gameday, so I can post them on the Gameday website at www.dcgameday.com. So...any recommendations?

How many more GMs (if any) do we need? I know we have open spots in a couple of games, but I also want to make sure we're not preventing people from registering because we don't appear to have enough player slots. So - Do we need more GMs? How many?

Here's your choices: Culper Ring: The Mad King's War. PL 10 Mutants and Masterminds, set during a fictionalized version of the War of 1812. Superheroes vs. Redcoats and their mysterious Hessian allies. I ran this at Gen Con, and it was well-loved. Masters of the Hollow Earth: The Terrible...
