I began to wonder how many people have bought these books. This led me back to a thought I had when 4E first came out, with the shift of magic items to the Player’s Handbook it became much less important for players that aren’t DMs to buy the Dungeon Master’s Guide and the Monster Manual, and back then I wondered how many people bought all three anyway. These curiosities have now combined into this poll!

The Tome (Show) of Dragons
Just a quick note: I was honored to be a guest of The Tome Show with Jeff, as well as with Quinn of At-Will. We talked about the Draconomicon, chapter by chapter. In case you didn’t get enough information from our review (or you just want to hear my sexy voice talk about beating up […]
Critical Bits for the week ending 2009-02-14
Holy crap, I don’t play Vampire or any White Wolf games regularly, but this looks amazing “All the mechanics actually felt like they were part of the same game…allowing more time for tactics and bad jokes.” 1st Dominion Expansion to contain everything you need to play (i.e. treasures and kingdoms) Soon, you can die of […]
Pain of Campaigning VIII: What About the Bad Guys?
Looking at the Campaigning Inquisition, I saw that the vast majority of people favor heroic or at least characters that have the potential to be heroes. Considering the nature of the D&D beast, this makes sense, but I worry that people may be hesitant to try one of the most enjoyable modes of D&D: playing as one of the bad guys.
Inq. of the Week: Con Get Some
I’m an old hand at the convention scene, but how about you? I’m not talking about a convention you’ve attended for work (though there may be some overlap), I’m talking about a con you’ve gone to for fun. Gaming, science fiction, comics, Star Trek, anime, whatever you like.
Review: “Dungeon Delve”
It’s not often that I review a book without having read it cover to cover- this may be the first, in fact. But Dungeon Delve is a product that doesn’t require much explanation, and should be easy to figure out if this is something you need or not. The book’s concept is simple. 30 short […]
Dungeons & Dragons at New York Comic Con ’09
Even though I’m a comics fan myself and could have found plenty to do without it, the main reason I wanted to get to Comic Con was to play D&D. Here were the different parts of Dungeons & Dragons at NYCC.
New York Comic Con ’09 Report
The convention doesn’t go far from what I’ve come to expect from Comic Cons. The exhibit hall is the big thing, which contains a mix of publisher booths, seller booths, creator booths (artist alley), and assorted other miscellany. The big difference is how packed everything is. Except during the very end before the hall closed, it was hard to get almost anywhere, and even harder to get pictures (which you want to do, since it’s quite a spectacle). Plus you have events with back-ups: signings and portfolio reviews all took place in the same space, which caused a few choke-points.
