Normally I don’t link to Penny Arcade, since telling gamers to read Penny Arcade is like telling ninjas to sneak around: it’s just gonna happen anyway. Today’s column is well worth reading and recommending. The results of their “Exactly 10 Words about WoW” contest were posted today. There’s some really good ones in there, both […]
WotC: “That $5k license thing? Just kidding.”
Some new details about the GSL finally posted after a lot of speculation and delay. Sounds like you can be approved to use a “D&D Compatible” logo, and anyone can use a GSL after publication. (And no one is going to have to pay $5k.) This ends the conspiracy theories that Hasbro insisted that they […]
Heroes, Paragons, and Epics
In the run-up to Fourth Edition, WotC has promised that they will be doing updates and previews three times a week. (I promise we won’t post about every single one, just the interesting ones.) Today’s update is a doozy: it’s all about the three tiers of play. It describes, generally, what you can do at […]
Devastating, Heartbreaking, Terrible News
Friends, brace yourselves. I did not win the Loopin’ Louie World Championship this year either. In fact, I did not score a single win. (But did manage to rack up an impressive number of second place finishes.) Other than that, I’ve had some neat game design career stuff happen, though no big announcements to make […]
Disney Announces New Projects
Yesterday in New York City Disney / Pixar Animation announced a handful of new projects that are in the works over the next 4 years, as well as screening 30 minutes of footage from the soon-to-be-released Pixar film Wall-E. Here’s a list of the projects that Disney announced: Up will follow WALL-E for Pixar, featuring […]
Some Quick Stuffs
I can’t believe it was a year ago today that I posted my mocking comic of Dave being a french-blob game designer, but today he left again for his “secret con” that maybe he’ll find some sneaky internet lurking around out there to update us all on how it’s going. Keith Baker posted a great […]
Lies, All Lies (and a Mindflayer)
Obviously, I don’t give a crap about Celebrity Gossip and Canadian Politics (as should be evidenced by my difficulty writing about it.) Nor are we filthy rich, especially not as a result of the site. (Though we did get a new advertiser today… coincidence?) In the midst of all the brilliant gags posted by Wizards, […]
A New Direction
Obviously, if Chatty has found a new source of income, we can too. For that reason, we’ve decided to change our coverage a bit here in order to deliver the news that you have been requesting for a long time. Besides, as of today, this industry just isn’t the same. ENWorld now exclusively covers OD&D. […]
Decipher’s “Fight Klub” Tough to Decipher
The company behind the old Star Wars and Star Trek CCGs, which ran into various business issues in the past (that I assumed meant we had seen the last of them) is releasing… something. What is that something? It’s still fairly mysterious, but damn if it isn’t ambitious. Let me see if I can try […]
Upgrading
I’m initiating the upgrade to the new version of WordPress, which is supposed to be a pretty radical change. So prepare for possible weirdness and brokeness. Upgrade complete. I ran into a few snafus (so there are still some things not working) but oddly none of them had to do with upgrading WordPress. The new […]
