Interview: Jami Noguchi

October 8, 2008 by Bartoneus

At some point earlier this year Dave and I were talking and he casually mentioned how he’d just spent most of his day going through every back issue of a webcomic, and he started to tell me how great it was.  That comic was Erfworld, which I already knew about through some twisting internet / […]

Critical Hits is a Trilogy

October 7, 2008 by Dave

From the Desk of the Editor-in-Chief: The time has come once again where we indulge in a little celebration. A little over three years ago, I started the conversations that would eventually lead to founding Critical Hits. Looking back, we definitely started a bit rocky, and it took us a while to find what we […]

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%. […]

The Amazing Graysons: Baby Nightwing?

October 1, 2008 by The Main Event

In honor of our Inquisition: It looks like the CW doesn’t want to leave a void when comic book inspired Smallville finally ends… But, really though, I wonder how interesting a bunch of circus performer will be?  Surely we won’t have Dick flying around a trapeze for 8 whole seasons?  The actor would age past […]

Changing hosts, expect weirdness (Done!)

September 24, 2008 by Dave

We’ve switched hosts! And now on to getting the new theme up and running… I’m sick and tired of our hosting company being, well, outright jerks, so we’ll be moving to a new host over the next few days, hopefully sooner rather than later. But be warned that comments you make might be swallowed up […]

This s**t is EPIC!

September 23, 2008 by Dave

The Dragon magazine update for today (hurry, grab them as they come out before you have to pay or pirate!) is all about epic destinies for Forgotten Realms. It includes 3 new epic desitines: Elf High Mage, Harper of Legend, and Mythic Sovereign. Elf High Mage starts to become one with magic itself, granting all […]

Thanks to some Gnomes, I have custom sounds

September 16, 2008 by Dave

So remember that contest I told you all to enter, where the prizes were custom RPG sounds from World of Twilights Studio? Turns out I won the grand prize. Funny, huh? (I also won a prize in the one-sentence NPC contest, so I guess pimping other people’s contests works.) Well, I’ve been emailing back and […]

1d1000 Posts

September 10, 2008 by Dave

The day has finally arrived. This is officially our 1,000th post. (Or as joshx0rfz put it, l,ooo in reverse 1337. DID THAT JUST BLOW YOUR MIND?) While we’ll reserve much of the celebration for our third anniversary coming up in October (which may involve me spending a good deal of money to give the place […]

4th Edition: Playtest a Barbarian

September 4, 2008 by Bartoneus

Second Edit: See here for the Barbarian release, no fooling! Edit: It appears Wizards has removed this snippet from the Table of Contents, sorry everyone! The table of contents for Dragon #367 is up, and it looks like we’ll be getting an early look at the Barbarian class from the PHB 2 that won’t be […]
