On Saterday June 7th from 2008 in the Fretwell building from 8am till 11pm we are having a D&D games day for 4th edition. Come and play threw the first...
Just wanted to throw one last reminder out there that Today Saterday June 7th we are hosting the D&D 4th edition big giant kick off event game thing. It will...
Now that D&D 4.0 Game day is over and we've all had time to digest.... what's the verdict? I just got my copies of the books and I ahve to say... it's.......
The biggest problem I have is the "social combat" rules. I have never thought of peaceful interaction with an npc as combat. The idea of the DM telling...
Well, it *is* different. A much more limited list of spells and tricks. However, there are now well-defined options for all classes. There...
... I have not gotten into this part too deep but what it reminds me of is the Interaction rules of Masterbook (I know, no one has heard of it...) What I...
I am aware of 'Masterbook' but I have not played it. For me; an old guy that came up before CCG and does not play on-line games; the feats in 3rd edition made...
I'm afraid I have to agree with Matt. It just seems to be catering to Roll-players as opposed to Roleplayers. I don't know, maybe I'm just kneejerking and...
... To some degree I would say that is true for both 3rd and 4th edition, to be honest. I think the roleplay really comes from the GM and the players and how...
I completely agree with Ron. The GM is far more important than the system for determining the quality of the game and the fun had. However, the system does...
I have to say I have mixed feelings about 4e. I really liked the new powers system where the wizard didn't turn into a peasant once his spells were out. On the...
Umm. Dragon's Breath Weapon is a Standard Action (unless that's changed in the new printing) (and has a 1 in 6 or 2 in 6 chance of recharging). ...
And then there's also the fact that with those 'attack plus effect' powers, if you miss the attack, you don't get the secondary effect... a problem I ran into...
Thanks Ron, I had heard about it but not checked it out. Now after doing so I recommend anyone interested in running a game that stays closer to the nature of...
Paizo is currently letting people download a PDF of the Alpha version of the Pathfinder RPG for free. There will be a Beta version released as a $25 hardcover...
I would have to agree ... both in my thanks to Ron and to the fact that Pathfinder is "closer to the nature of D&D than 4.0". I've been checking it out for...

Hello again James, Remember what is available now are play-tests. There will be changes made for the latter editions. They encourage and ask for feedback from...
There's already errata for the 4e books. Thankfully, they fixed a quick bit of stupidity that I wasn't going to allow at my tables anyway: Cleave...
I will go with 4e, at least for awhile. The books certainly are sparse on roleplaying info and general things like expansive equipment lists and prices -- but...
Hey Brian, For me it has less to do with the fact there are less campaign and role-playing information as it does with having hundreds of simple rules (all the...
Hey there Matt, Oh I know all about the playtesting. I've been keeping an eye on the message boards for some time now on Paizo. I'm actually very encouraged by...

OK, you're right about the "card" mention, that was a bit of a slip on my part. They aren't actually cards, but the size is about right, and many people will...
Let's be fair, I have a bunch of index cards for my 3.5 game. There's a standard stack for Bless, Haste, Prayer, Righteous Wrath and a bunch of...
Last Time: ....just after the last dog is killed and the remains of the pack disperse, an eerie silence sets in along with the realization that one of the...
