Since there have been two major updates in the past day, here’s the list of companies that I know of (and let me know if there’s any I’ve missed, I’ll try to add them) that have or specifically have not signed the GSL. I’ve also tried to source them in some way. Necromancer Games: Staying […]
Rage, Song, and Shapeshift are all coming back
ENWorld is reporting, via the WotC 2009 catalog sent to retailers, that you’ll see the return of some familiar faces in PHB2: the Players Handbook 2 will include Druid, Barbarian, Sorcerer, Bard, and Swordmage classes (eight in all). New races will include the gnome, the half-orc, and the goliath. Cynics can now engage their “only […]
“Free comic like instant courage — only find it on Internet.”
A few pieces of random Watchmen mania (Watchmania?) First of all, this is genius. Second, a Chip Kidd-designed Watchmen extras book is awesome. Finally, while playing around with my new video iPod, I came across a Watchmen “motion comic” on iTunes. Only the first episode is up, but it’s free, so I checked it out. […]
Vote Today or Face a Red Dragon
Ennies award voting is up, and our buddy Yax’s Dungeonmastering.com is up for “Best Fan Product.” All it takes is an internet connection and a few minutes, so go vote today! Yax is going to be our roommate at GenCon, and we don’t want him to unleash his red dragon on us if he loses. […]
GenCon Pros: Tell me about True Dungeon
So thanks to an old friend (and Killer DM), it looks like I will have a chance to play in a True Dungeon session. I’ve never been in one before, and it sounds like the session I will be playing in will be in Hardcore mode (whatever that means.) I’ve gone on to the website […]
Press “A” Repeatedly to Torture Moloch
Continuing the spin-up of the hype machine for the Watchmen movie, downloadable episodic Watchmen video games are coming. The developer claims that this will give them more time to actually produce a quality game, unlike the vast majority of movie cash-in tie-in games. The games will follow the adventures of Nite Owl and Rorschach, I’m […]
Time to make some Drow and Genasi Swordmages
In prepration for the launch of the new Living Forgotten Realms RPGA campaign, WotC has posted some preliminary rules for Forgotten Realms characters allowable in the new campaign. In the document you’ll find Drow and Genasi rules (with the Genasi being modular to a number of different elemental heritages) and a playable Swordmage class. It’s […]
Tidbits from E3 that I have liked
Since, for some reason, our tickets to E3 never arrived, I’ve been following the news through a few of the big video game blogs, and picking some things out that interest me: Xbox 360 will be able to stream Netflix movies if you have a subscription. I’ve never gotten the streaming video to work on […]
Forget OD&D and AD&D: Play DD&D
For Drinking Dungeons & Dragons. As the planning for Gen Con goes ahead (mostly involving me panicking about not having signed up for anything), I continue my quest to trick some of the RPG bloggers into entertaining me at the convention by running games for my benefit. Well, I think I’ve finally tricked the Chatty […]
Fanboy is now a real word, OK to call people it
“Fanboy” is just one of over 100 words to be added to the Miriam-Webster Dictionary this year. They specifically have it defined as “boy who is an enthusiastic devotee, such as of comics or movies.” Thankfully, the more derogatory “fanboi” is nowhere to be seen. Other words added this year that I use on a […]
