Dave’s poll from last week asked what size of dice you prefer, the d20 came in at a huge 29% with the rare and exotic d12 in a surprising second with 27%. The entire spread is actually in descending order with the d10 at 18%, d8 at 12%, d6 at 5%, and d4 at 5% […]

Slowing down… Spring break… and Akismet finally activated.
My kids are starting the primary school equivalent of spring break (i.e no school, but no partying in Florida either) so I decided to slow down a bit on the blog this week. Expect a one or two-part post on last Friday’s game tonight and maybe tomorrow but not much else this week. I could […]
D&D XP: Random Crunchy Bits
Danny and I are back from the D&D XP. I decided not to pay for the flaky hotel wi-fi to be able to do updates from the show floor. We played three games today: the first Living Forgotten Realms adventure,”Escape from Sembia” (which essentially ended in the second encounter as a TPK), press dungeon delve […]
Want to play 4e D&D tonight?

Chatty’s Out of the Box #003: Lean and Green!
Here’s another comic! This time with some Quality Control by my good friend PM. I decided to leave our Plastic Pirate to his interview and explore new characters. The Green Slaad is too ridiculous a figurine not to make him part of the comic. This joke came to me this morning and it needed to […]
4e linkies
Everyone talks about 4e since the D&D experience is ongoing. Have a look over at Critical Hits, they are my official source of 4e stuff. Even I can’t stay calm and unfazed by what Dave and Bart are uncovering. D&D 4e will be a different game, as much as 2e and 3e were different games. […]
The Rule of Fun!
(Image stolen from Critical Hits) This blog was more or less noticed because of one short text I wrote way back last summer about a Wiki I discovered and a fundamental rule that I believed a successful DM should live by. There is another one, related to the Rule of Cool, made specifically for games: […]
D&D XP Dungeon Delve Characters
This afternoon Dave and I got to play in the 4th Edition Dungeon Delve, which is a group of about 10 tables set up with various dungeons pre-set that the RPGA staff (and some occasional Wizards employees) were kind enough to run. It was meant to be just hack & slash, get through the monsters […]
D&D XP Coverage

D&D XP Seminar
This is just a dump of my notes from the Seminar, which I’ll be editing when I get a chance! 9:38- Laptop set up in the Potomac room. The room is maybe ¾ capacity, in a fairly inefficient banquet table format. 9:40- Danny returns with “What you need to know about D&D 4th edition […]
