Inq. of the Week: Save vs. Rod/Staff/Wand

February 11, 2008 by Dave

Just like me, 38% of you will be starting a new campaign when D&D fourth edition comes out. 24% people are going to stay with 3.5, though not necessarily for reasons that are anti-4e. Those who don’t play D&D and those who will do whatever the DM decides (including several of the players in my […]

Review: “Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight” DVD

February 10, 2008 by Dave

When the announcement was first made, I was excited about the prospect of a Dragonlance animated movie. As the voice cast was announced, I was even more excited. Some big names were there- Kiefer as Raistlin!- which made me think they were sparing no expense in making a cherished novel from my teenage years into […]

Review: “The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters” DVD

February 9, 2008 by Dave

Who knew one giant gorilla could cause so many problems? The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters is a documentary that primarily follows the story of Steve Wiebe, a laid-off family man who sees the world record in Donkey Kong and decides that he can beat it with the arcade machine sitting in his […]

32.33—Repeating of Course—Percentage of Success

February 8, 2008 by Dave

A World of Warcraft Collectible Miniatures Game is coming. Details are still vague on the website, but there’ll be starter packs and booster packs as you’ve come to expect from this sort of thing by now (and to go head to head for your random prepainted minis dollars with D&D Minis 2.0). Some examples of […]

Con-flagration

February 6, 2008 by Dave

I’m planning on attending a number of conventions in the upcoming months. I thought I’d share my plans, and how it relates to Critical Hits. February D&D Experience: Bartoneus and I are planning on attending, and trying to interview members of the 4e design team. We also plan to try to play some 4e ourselves, […]

YouTube of the Week: Major Mario Mods Edition

February 5, 2008 by Dave

Some modded Super Mario Bros: one controlled with a giant hand, one major mod meanness, and one that places Mario in other video games.

4E D&D… 4Free!

February 1, 2008 by Dave

I know how it is. You want to try out the new edition of D&D, but you don’t want to put down the $90 for new books. What’s more, you don’t want to go through the drudgery of buying it from a store: you’d much rather have a Canadian mail it to you. Well, fear […]
