Last monday, to wrap up our Unofficial Review Weekend, Dave’s poll asked which Nick Fury was the better Nick Fury, Sammy J or David Hasselhoff. An overwhelming majority of 76% thought that Samuel L. Jackson made a better Nick Fury, while 15% thought the Hoff was best (and more true to the original comic Fury), […]
D&D 4e: A Whole New World
Within the core books for the 4th Edition of Dungeons & Dragons, a base world is being set up which is intended to give new players and especially new Dungeon Masters a much easier time getting into their first game. The setting is called “Points of Light” and is summed up on their site as: […]
Inq. of the Week: Multi-Classing
I thought that Dave’s musically inclined poll last week was great, because it’s one of those general questions that I probably would have never thought to ask. It looks like the most people prefer the alternative/indie/college rock genre (69%), which I find interesting when you consider that our age poll surprised us with more people […]
Inq. of the Week: So Full of Class?
Okay so Dave managed to prove me wrong when I said it felt like a lot of people were getting tired of April Fool’s on the internet. The most people voted that some of the pranks are fun, but some are getting tired, while almost as many people said that they love how creative some […]
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 […]
D&D XP Interview: Sara Girard & Rob Heinsoo
We sat down first to talk with the Sara Girard the Associate Brand Manager at Wizards, who works a lot on the marketing for 4th Edition. We started by bringing up our experience with our first chance at playing 4th Edition in the Dungeon Delve, and Sara mentioned that she is currently playing a Dragonborn […]
Inq. of the Week: Systems Operational
Dave’s poll from last week asked what size of dice you prefer, the d20 came in at a huge 29% with the rare and exotic d12 in a surprising second with 27%. The entire spread is actually in descending order with the d10 at 18%, d8 at 12%, d6 at 5%, and d4 at 5% […]
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 […]
The World is Full of Dungeons
We’ve recently been having some long discussions that essentially started as, “OMG Dungeons and Dragons 4th Ed. is just WoW!!!11!” I was very surprised when I was reading the 4th Ed. preview books I saw an acknowledgement of the influences of recent games like World of Warcraft on the tabletop genre. Dave’s number one response […]
Inq. of the Week: Edition to the Fourth
It just goes to show you, if Dave puts up a picture of a giant squid most of the people are going to vote for that entry! Kraken/Giant Squid pulled out the win as most popular aquatic menace, beating out the great old Cthulhu and Dagon. I am personally amazed that the Giant Lobster (sticks […]
