32.33—Repeating of Course—Percentage of Success

February 8, 2008 by Dave

A World of Warcraft Collectible Miniatures Game is coming. Details are still vague on the website, but there’ll be starter packs and booster packs as you’ve come to expect from this sort of thing by now (and to go head to head for your random prepainted minis dollars with D&D Minis 2.0). Some examples of […]

Finally a manual for the rest of them!

February 8, 2008 by The Chatty DM

Image Source: Stupid Ranger (did you know this pictures shows up on Google Image’s 1st page using ‘nerd’? I’m impressed!)

Guitar Hero for Reals?

February 7, 2008 by Bartoneus

My wife was kind enough to show me this article about Guitar Rising at Gizmodo, which looks like a great attempt at creating essentially a game based on guitar hero that can actually teach you to play the guitar. The game uses any real guitar hooked up to your sound card, featuring “actual songs” and […]

February 7, 2008 by The Chatty DM

Lillee, Yan’s Pixie Arcane Caster is leaving the group this week to be replaced by a new character. While our group hasn’t developed strong ties or built any spectacular interrelations, there was something building between Lillee’s concern for Cruger’s well being and Cruguer’s pained tolerance of that somewhat annoying little ball of energy. For those […]

Con-flagration

February 6, 2008 by Dave

February D&D Experience: Bartoneus and I are planning on attending, and trying to interview members of the 4e design team. We also plan to try to play some 4e ourselves, […]
