Inq. of the Week: Bad Movie Ideas

November 17, 2008 by Dave

As we are oft to do, we wanted to find out what kinds of games you play. 94% of you play Tabletop Roleplaying Games (only 4 people who voted do not), 71% of you play console games, and 67% play boardgames. Amazingly, 0% are not gamers at all… they have all fled from our gamerdom. […]

Inq. of the Week: Games You Play 2008

November 10, 2008 by Bartoneus

Our rather appropriate presidential poll has now closed, and it looks like we’re all doomed!  I myself was almost swayed by the logical tagline, “Why settle for the lesser of two evils?”  I held out, but most of you just couldn’t resist the Elder Sign ticket coming in with the small win at 31%.  Not […]

Inq. of the Week: Presidential Election

November 3, 2008 by Dave

Last week, we wanted to find out which of the wonderful pile of games that have just come out you’re planning on buying. The big winner, and I have to agree that it’s a must-buy, is Fallout 3 with 65% of the voters. Second place is Fable 2, recently reviewed here. In third, since our […]

Inq. of the Week: New Games?

October 27, 2008 by Bartoneus

I was actually pleasantly suprised when I saw the question Dave asked last week, to find out what our favorite undead creature is, and some of the results are a bit surprising.  The Lich came out in first with 25% of the total votes, followed in a very distant second by the blood-sucking Vampire with […]

Inq. of the Week: Favorite Undead?

October 20, 2008 by Dave

Last week, since they started charging for it, we asked how many of you were planning on buying D&D Insider. Surprisingly (to me), the highest group was among those who would be paying the fee to get Dragon and Dungeon back (in digital form) and who play D&D 4e. A close second, however, was those […]

Inq. of the Week: D&D Insider?

October 13, 2008 by Bartoneus

Rumors are going around that this week D&D Insider will be switching over to paid only accounts, which means that we will no longer be getting a decent amount of free content in the online Dragon and Dungeon magazines.  What this does mean is that hopefully Wizards is getting a few steps closer to launching […]

Inquisition of the Week: Upcoming 4e Options

October 6, 2008 by Dave

Last week, with comics on the brain, we asked what kind of comics you read. 62% of you read Webcomics, possibly because they’re great, possibly because they’re free. Second at 48% are mainstream comics that you can pick up in most comic stores (and some book stores.) Third are the indie/self-published fans are at 30%. […]

Inq. of the Week: Who Reads Comics?

September 29, 2008 by Bartoneus

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 […]

Inq. of the Week: Gamers Get Some

September 23, 2008 by Dave

If you’re playing 4th edition, you want to be selling your soul for dark powers. The Warlock came out on top of last week’s poll asking what your favorite 4e class is. The new, improved Rogue comes in second, fueled by stabby stabby. The Fighter is a close third, with the other new class Warlord […]

Inq. of the Week: 4th Edition Classes?

September 15, 2008 by Bartoneus

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 […]
