This week I’d like to take a look at how often all of you play tabletop RPGs. My own D&D campaign has been on a short hiatus for four weeks now and will be resuming in early November, but leading into the holiday season I’m scared the schedule is going to be disrupted for the next few adventures.
Inq. of the Week: Gaming Women
Conventional wisdom and surveys show that women are in the minority among gaming groups of all kinds, but I think the ratio is starting to shift. We touched on the issue almost three years ago (to a bit of controversy) but I’d like to pose a slightly less loaded question…
Inq. of the Week: RPGs in Various Flavors?
I’ve really enjoyed reading Dave’s posts about his 4th Power project and adapting the 4E D&D system to a modern setting game as well as the comments on those posts, but it’s started me thinking about the genres of RPG that people play and in addition to that the settings we play in as well.
Inq. of the Week: Tell Us Your Critical Hit Story
We’re coming up on our 4th anniversary this week (expect our usual yearly wrap-up this Thursday), and this year, we thought we’d do something fun. At gaming conventions this year, we asked our interview subjects about their favorite critical hit story (from any game.) We got some great responses, and will be typing those up this week, but we’d like to open the floor to you!
Inq. of the Week: Tears or tiers?
I have a small handful of polls that creep back into my consciousness every year or two and the few that I’ve done multiple times before have been very enlightening. On that note I’m bringing back a poll that I last ran in March of 2008…
Inq. of the Week: On Reviewing
Alternative titles for last week’s poll: “Blood, Sweat, and Tiers”, “Tiers of a Clown”, and “Tiers for Fiers.” 91% of you have played lowish level D&D recently, 27% in the mid to high range, and only 3% dare to go EPIC. Some interesting stories in the comments too! Whatever levels you’re playing (or not playing […]
Inq. of the Week: Tiers of Play?
Dave and I both started running 4th Edition D&D campaigns when the system was released, now over a year later Dave’s game is solidly into the paragon tier while mine looks to be entering paragon in the next few weeks.
Inq. of the Week: Cthulhu Who?
I believe it is too late for me now. With each new tome I uncover, the more I find myself drawn away from my usual realm and into a realm of insanity. Are you with me?
Inq. of the Week: Cataclysm?
This passed weekend was Blizzcon ’09 which came with a slew of new announcements from everyone’s favorite delayed publishing game company. (Yes, I’m still bitter about Starcraft: Ghost – No, I will not let it go until StarCraft 2 actually comes out.) Chief among the announcements was the third expansion for World of Warcraft which is called Cataclysm, and looks to offer a huge overhaul to the entire game and the world it takes place in.
Inq. of the Week: The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
I am going to subject you all to another question about what you’d like to see here, but focused on our immediate future. These answers will help us to determine where we should spend our time and energy at GenCon. While we already have a packed schedule (much of which I will lay out below), the effort we spend on write-ups of particular subjects will depend on what you, the audience want to see.
