Danny and I are back from the D&D XP. I decided not to pay for the flaky hotel wi-fi to be able to do updates from the show floor. We played three games today: the first Living Forgotten Realms adventure,”Escape from Sembia” (which essentially ended in the second encounter as a TPK), press dungeon delve […]
D&D XP Dungeon Delve Characters
This afternoon Dave and I got to play in the 4th Edition Dungeon Delve, which is a group of about 10 tables set up with various dungeons pre-set that the RPGA staff (and some occasional Wizards employees) were kind enough to run. It was meant to be just hack & slash, get through the monsters […]
D&D XP Coverage
Here’s where we’ll post links to the different articles for the D&D XP. Seminar Photo Set on Flickr Dungeon Delve Sheets (Fighter, Wizard, Paladin) Interview with Sara Girard and Rob Heinsoo Interview with Andy Collins and Scott Rouse (Part 1) (Part 2) Preview mini from “Against the Giants” set Stats for some monsters from Dungeons […]
D&D XP Seminar
This is just a dump of my notes from the Seminar, which I’ll be editing when I get a chance! 9:38- Laptop set up in the Potomac room. The room is maybe ¾ capacity, in a fairly inefficient banquet table format. 9:40- Danny returns with “What you need to know about D&D 4th edition […]
Sneak Attack!
One more significant preview of 4e D&D has been released before a lot more is given away at the D&D Experience. The entire Rogue class has been posted for your amusement/derision. Just a few things that stood out to me: No more rolling for hit points. You get a fixed amount at first level, and […]
Fantasy Flight Games Continues Fantasy/Sci-Fi Domination by Partnering with Games Workshop
This is a pretty big deal. To back up a second… Games Workshop has recently been working on consolidating their product line down to their core, while expanding their line of retail shops. This means they were focusing their efforts on selling Warhammer Fantasy Battles, Warhammer 40k, and Lord of the Rings. However, they did […]
Rock Band and Portal: Two Great Tastes Together
Around these parts, Portal has seen a slight insurgence, thanks to me lending Bartoneus and Sucilaria The Orange Box. I actually had to get them to shut it down at a party last Saturday so that I could feed my Rock Band addiction and caterwaul through my rendition of Ballroom Blitz. This actually allowed them […]
Of Martians and JJ Abrams
One day, a week or two ago, I came across this story about images sent back from the Mars Spirit Rover. What you see to the right is a small version of a panorama taken at a crater on Mars from this mission, and you can see a super high quality version at Nasa’s site […]
“TETSUO!” “TITANIC!”
Did not see that one coming… Leonardo DiCaprio is set to produce a live-action version of anime classic Akira. Technology may have finally caught up to the point where doing live-action Akira is more feasible than it once was. But how faithful will it be to the original? Who will direct? Will DiCaprio take a […]
Finished the format war has
Toshiba announced today it would stop making HD-DVD equipment. Since they were the primary backer of the format, I think it’s safe to say the HD-DVD format is dead in the water, and the Blu-Ray emerges victorious… …Except I don’t think I know anyone who owns either one, except for those that happen to be […]
