The PAX Report

September 9, 2010 by Chris Sims

Like all good things, PAX ended. Due to required nuptial witnessing, it ended on Saturday for me. Oh, I’m not bitter. In fact, I feel privileged that PAX is local. With all this good stuff happening before, during, and after the show, it’s sure to become one of my yearly rituals. Here are some high points of my trip to the show.

Of Dice And Men

August 31, 2010 by Vanir

“Of Dice And Men” is a play about a D&D group and what happens to it when one of their members gets deployed to Iraq. It’s about why gaming is important – the friendships and relationships you make. It’s premiering at PAX PRIME on September 3. We think you might find this of interest. And that’s an understatement.

Critical Hits Podcast #20: Interview with Rich Baker and Mike Mearls

August 10, 2010 by Dave

The Friday of Gen Con 2010, Bartoneus and myself sat down with Rich Baker and Mike Mearls of Wizards of the Coast (in the gaming penthouse above their booth) to talk about Dark Sun, Essentials, and beyond. Some of our questions were a bit invalidated by the seminar the next day, but it’s all included for the sake of posterity.

Gen Con 2010: D&D New Products Seminar

August 7, 2010 by Dave

Gen Con is one of two places to get all the big news in D&D for the next year (their own D&D XP convention being the other.) Like last year, we live-tweeted the announcements as they came in, but here’s a basic write-up of the seminar all in one place. We’ll also have photos of the different products later when we have access to a better internet connection.
