Wizards of the Coast has gone and done it. They’ve announced that Dungeons & Dragons Fourth Edition will be released mid-year 2008. And I’m totally pumped. Marketing and digital stuff aside, looking through what the announcements are consisting of, it’s clear to me that Wizards is concerned about game design. And not just about fixing […]

D&D 4th Edition
There, they’ve finally done it. D&D 4th edition comes out next year (in May). I’m really angry because I bought a shitload of D&D 3.0/3.5 books (I mean I have a whole bookcase full of them) and I know that most mechanics in them will become useless. I’m not saying Wizards is evil and money […]

Back to gaming: Mana Screw!!!!!
Ok enough about travel stuff and financial editorials. I’m back from my vacation so this means I’m back into the gaming mood. As most married-with-a-life Casual Magic the Gathering player, I have a love-hate relationship with this game. Like most of my gaming buddies that play D&D and Magic, we have very limited time to […]
Inquisition of the Week: YouTube Tuesday

Most of you said that you would hibernate, which I suppose is cheaper than all the other options, unless you mean actually go somewhere to hibernate. Second place went to those of you who love roller coasters and […]
A Compedium of Critical Threat Worthy Posts 8/10/7
Here’s a few articles that I’ve been reading over the past few weeks that I highly recommend for any of you in the field of thinking about games or even just those with an interest in games.
Who You Calling Heavy?
Over on Boardgamegeek, you’ll see plenty of references to weight. And I’m not talking about the size of the players. Games tend to be divided in a spectrum from Light to Heavy among the BGG ratings. Something like Coloretto, or the great Loopin’ Louie is in the light category. Light-Medium includes such favorites as Ticket […]
