Inq. of the Week: Friendly Local Gaming Stores?

November 30, 2009 by Bartoneus

This week December is officially upon us, and with it comes the full force of the holiday season and all of the shopping that implies. I find it a shame that ordering RPG books online from places like Amazon is so much cheaper then it would be if I were to go to my local game store.

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: Dungeon Crawls?

August 4, 2008 by Bartoneus

I’d begun to notice a distinct lack of D&D posts here lately, which was partially orchestrated and partially just because a lot of other news and thoughts came up here, so last week I ventured to ask who would win in a super big monster brawl.  It looks like we have a tie!!! The one […]

How to Compare Birds to Fish

June 11, 2008 by Bartoneus

A common topic has come up several times throughout various discussions that has been wracking my brain lately. The discussions it has been most prevalent in are ones that pertain to game design, and specifically tabletop games or computer games.

So what IS D&D anyway?

May 16, 2008 by Dave

An interesting meme has seemed to pop up among those who dislike where D&D 4e headed. It’s one simple declaration: This is not D&D. I’ve touched on this idea before: in many people’s minds, there’s one definition of what a product/line IS. Whether this is determined by the original creator, the fans, or whomever happens […]
