Inq. of the Week: Summer Movies ’09

April 7, 2009 by Bartoneus

Last week The Main Event posted an Inquisition on a topic that I love to discuss, power creep in 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons.  With people voting on which parts of the PHB2 they thought most displayed power creep, 42% of you actually don’t think there’s much power creep in the book at all!  In […]

Inq. of the Week: Power Sources?

March 16, 2009 by Bartoneus

Hopefully Dave’s curiosity was answered when he wanted to know how many of you went to see Watchmen.  65% of you went to see it opening weekend, while 23% didn’t see it that weekend but plan on seeing it, leaving only 13% who don’t plan on seeing it at all.  I saw the movie at […]

Inq. of the Week: Watch What you Read?

March 2, 2009 by Bartoneus

This Friday is the release date for the Watchmen movie, and for me now is a good time to be thankful that the lawsuit involving the movie rights didn’t result in this date being pushed back! With that in mind I’m sure we’ll be talking about the movie a lot over the next week or two, and one big thing that I’ve heard a lot about is how many people will see this movie without ever reading or even seeing the comic book.

Inq. of the Week: 4th Edition Books?

February 16, 2009 by Bartoneus

I began to wonder how many people have bought these books. This led me back to a thought I had when 4E first came out, with the shift of magic items to the Player’s Handbook it became much less important for players that aren’t DMs to buy the Dungeon Master’s Guide and the Monster Manual, and back then I wondered how many people bought all three anyway. These curiosities have now combined into this poll!

Inq. of the Week: Day Jobs?

December 15, 2008 by Bartoneus

One thing that we’ve never quite touched on is the topic of what all of us do when we’re not busy gaming, or talking about gaming, or blogging about gaming. I’d say that it’s a safe assumption the vast majority of us still have day jobs, or at the very least are students working through school while we enjoy our wonderful hobbies whenever we can.

Inq. of the Week: Games You Play 2008

November 10, 2008 by Bartoneus

Our rather appropriate presidential poll has now closed, and it looks like we’re all doomed!  I myself was almost swayed by the logical tagline, “Why settle for the lesser of two evils?”  I held out, but most of you just couldn’t resist the Elder Sign ticket coming in with the small win at 31%.  Not […]

Inq. of the Week: New Games?

October 27, 2008 by Bartoneus

I was actually pleasantly suprised when I saw the question Dave asked last week, to find out what our favorite undead creature is, and some of the results are a bit surprising.  The Lich came out in first with 25% of the total votes, followed in a very distant second by the blood-sucking Vampire with […]

Inq. of the Week: D&D Insider?

October 13, 2008 by Bartoneus

Rumors are going around that this week D&D Insider will be switching over to paid only accounts, which means that we will no longer be getting a decent amount of free content in the online Dragon and Dungeon magazines.  What this does mean is that hopefully Wizards is getting a few steps closer to launching […]

Inq. of the Week: Who Reads Comics?

September 29, 2008 by Bartoneus

We should have provided an over/under on last week’s poll, I’d be curious to see who would have guessed that 52% of our voting readers are married gamers.  Coming in at second is 28% of you who are gamers and single, 16% are gamers and in relationships, with only 5 votes (3%) in the gamer […]

Inq. of the Week: It’s All About You? 2008

August 27, 2008 by Bartoneus

I planned this quite unintentionally, but precisely a year ago I posted an Inquisition asking our readers to introduce themselves in the comments.  I did this because 4th Edition D&D had just been announced and we really wanted the poll to run for two weeks so we could gauge everyone’s opinion a little better, so […]
