It occurs to me that I haven’t been posting lately, so I guess I’ll go ahead and update you all on some things.
Games I’ve been playing
Sadly, I haven’t really done much board/card/role-playing gaming lately since the big TPK. I did play a game of Three-Dragon Ante with my friend Dean; it was quite good. [...]

Yesterday, I ran another proto-4E module; this time, instead of using one that I downloaded from the Internet, I created one myself. And yes, I have observations on that process:
1. Re-purposing monsters is easy. I mean, really easy. On the one hand, monsters are pretty distinct from each other, and each have [...]

Wizards just posted an article about the 4th Edition rogue. Let’s see what we can learn from it.
1. Armor Training: Leather. At first blush, this seems pretty restricted; they’re only trained with leather armor? However, the Classes and Races book makes mention of the fact that terms that used to represent a [...]

It’s been quite a while since my last post, and for that I apologize. I have no particular excuse other than the usual: games and lack of motivation. At any rate, I read something just now that motivated me to make a post: the Monster Manual entry for the 4th Edition Pit Fiend.
Here’s [...]

Apologies for the lack of posting; I’ve been busy with my Christmas gifts. Highlights include:
1. A Garmin GPS unit for my car. Extremely useful.
2. A Nintendo DS, along with two games (The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and Age of Empires: The Age of Kings). I’ve finished Zelda already, due primarily to [...]

I’ve been on the fence about Crysis for a while. Actually, that’s not entirely accurate. I knew there was a fence, I was aware of it. I knew that you could, theoretically, be on it. But I didn’t pay much attention to it. I just assumed that it wouldn’t run [...]

Some interesting information has been posted about wizards in 4th Edition. This article makes me think a little bit of the magister and mage blade classes from Monte Cook’s Arcana Unearthed, a game that I liked a lot, and I like this direction. A wizard’s spellbook always seemed like so much wasted potential. [...]

Ok, two things have been dominating my geek radar currently. Really, three things if you count 4th Edition, but the initial excitement has passed and my geek-out-itude about 4E has subsided into a general ambient hum of anticipation.
Monte Cook’s World of Darkness: I’m currently about halfway through this book, and I have mixed feelings [...]

I’ve been ravenously devouring every scrap of information I can get my hands on regarding 4th Edition. Wizards’ official site updates three times a week, which hardly seems like often enough. I have, however, managed to catch hold of some inspiring scraps, and I have some suppositions based on others. In no [...]

I’m sure most of you already know, but it was officially announced yesterday that 4th Edition D&D is indeed coming our way in mid-2008. I really, really couldn’t be more excited, particularly after reading this post on EN World.
The above post gives a number of tantalizing details, doesn’t it. Character classes go up [...]
