Thanks to Ogrecave for putting this in my RSS feed- there’s a full blown press release officially dating D&D 4th Edition for May of 2008. Like the 3.0 release, the PHB will be released first, with the DMG a month later, and the MM a month after that. MerricB over at ENWorld has been collecting […]
Inquisition of the Week: YouTube Tuesday
Last week, with vacation on the brain, Bartoneus asked how you like to spend your vacation time. 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.
Ending a campaign
Last night we played the last of a 2 sessions Nostaligia-ride that is the re-visiting of an old campaign. About 5 or so years ago, we started our second vanilla D&D campaign with level 1 PCs. Now I don’t exactly remember what players and what characters were there when we started. It started out as […]
RPG Software
I’m a complete and utter Geek (I scored Major Geek BTW) sometimes its a huge wonder that I actually got married, but then again, my lovely wife is also pretty up there on the geek scale. Anywho, being the geek that I am, I’ve always been fascinated by using computers to make my RPG games […]
Making a Campaing villain
One of the 1st steps I do when I think about a new campaign is the Big Bad Guy. The too-often Shadowy hand that pulls the strings of the evil/insane/chaotic side of the game. Creating a good bad guy that will act as a motivator is not easy. If he’s too powerful early on in […]
Time to start a new Campaign
I have been playing structured Role playing game like D&D and Gurps since I was barely 10. During the 1st year of playing that game I’ve discovered how much I liked being a DM. 24 years later, I’m still geeking out at the idea of starting a new campaign. We’ve been playing D&D 3.0/3.5 more […]

Origins Report: 2007 Wrapup
I’ve arrived home safely from Origins (no thanks to a drunk driver killing several and delaying traffic for hours.) Here’s some general thoughts about the whole thing.
Inq. of the Week: Gaming Awards?
Last week, we tried to find out if any of you were as amused by some of the critiques of what we know of Fallout 3. The majority of people did not call me a moron, but only by a slim margin, as most of you picked that all the complains were reasonable. Second place […]
