I’ve been to a fair number of conventions, but this past Sunday was my first time going to a strictly comic convention and I have to say the experience was pretty extraordinary. Several of the other conventions I’ve been to have also been in the Baltimore Convention Center, and as we walked in my first […]
Inq. of the Week: Who Reads Comics?
We should have provided an over/under on last week’s poll, I’d be curious to see who would have guessed that 52% of our voting readers are married gamers. Coming in at second is 28% of you who are gamers and single, 16% are gamers and in relationships, with only 5 votes (3%) in the gamer […]
Review: “Eagle Eye”
Last night my wife and I had the privilege of seeing an advanced screening of the movie Eagle Eye, thanks to Paramount Pictures and local morning radio host Elliot in the Morning. The movie is listed as an action/mystery/thriller and takes place in modern day America, staring Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan with Rosaria Dawson, […]
The Top 10 Songs that Should Never be in Rock Band
I’m sure it’s happened to many of you, listening to the radio either in the car or at work and hearing a particular song and thinking, “Damn, this song really should be in Rock Band!” Apparently this happened so much that our friend DrScotto began to reply with simply, “EVERY song should be in Rock […]
Inq. of the Week: 4th Edition Classes?
We’re finally back on a regular schedule, and temperatures are beginning to drop into that lovely cool – comfortable range (for about a week, that’s how long fall lasts in Maryland), it’s becoming clear that summer is drawing to a close. Last week Dave asked how many of you partake in the monk-like practice of […]
4th Edition: Paragon Multi-Classing
Last Wednesday I took a more detailed look at heroic tier multi-classing in 4th Edition D&D, which included a fully multi-classed character at 10th level becoming roughly 2/3 primary class and 1/3 secondary class. Quite a lot of discussion surfaced after last week’s post, but one interesting point was made that the power-swap feats feel […]
4th Edition: Playtest a Barbarian
Second Edit: See here for the Barbarian release, no fooling! Edit: It appears Wizards has removed this snippet from the Table of Contents, sorry everyone! The table of contents for Dragon #367 is up, and it looks like we’ll be getting an early look at the Barbarian class from the PHB 2 that won’t be […]
A Closer Look at 4th Edition Multi-Classing
I’ve heard over and over again, from various people, that they feel multi-classing in 4th Edition just isn’t worth it. I even got to the point of asking several of the Wizards staffers if their current games (each staffer seems to be playing in several games of 4e) had any higher level multi-classed characters that […]
Inq. of the Week: It’s All About You? 2008
I planned this quite unintentionally, but precisely a year ago I posted an Inquisition asking our readers to introduce themselves in the comments. I did this because 4th Edition D&D had just been announced and we really wanted the poll to run for two weeks so we could gauge everyone’s opinion a little better, so […]
Interview: Randall Bills from Catalyst Game Labs, Publisher of Classic Battletech
As Dave and I roamed around the exhibition hall at GenCon 2008, we had some interview set up but we also took it upon ourselves to do a few interviews and talk to a few developers about games that we really like. For me, one of the first games / booths I gravitated towards was […]
