It’s an announcement we’ve been waiting for since January 20, 2004, when the LAST Baldur’s Gate was released. That game was Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance II. 8 years.
And? And?
AAAND?!
They’re rereleasing the original game. With… enhancements. What enhancements? Who knows? Will I be able to play it on my Mac? Dunno.
As my buddy Dean Gilbert said, “Nothing to see here.”
Move along. Move along.

Uncategorized Number of Views :633I really raised the hackles of some people in yesterday’s post. I should probably clarify what I was saying yesterday. What some (including myself) would construe as hyperbole, some took as “I’m an asshole DM. What I say goes, and the heroes can go f*** themselves.” This is not the case. I [...]
Number of Views :798As a GM, I couldn’t care less about your character. Stop, stop. I don’t want to hear you complaining. It’s true.

Number of Views :943 I’ve been talking about the Marvel RPG a lot on here. A lot. I figure those readers of mine who have no interest in the Marvel RPG deserve a break. With that in mind, I’ve started a brand new blog, called Plot Points, which talks exclusively about the Marvel Heroic Roleplaying [...]
Number of Views :865 Yep, we’ve got two new sets of plot points for you. Can you identify all the logos? Enjoy. These have been a lot of fun to make. I hope to actually print these out soon!
Number of Views :781 When you play the Marvel Heroic Roleplaying Game, you’re going to need plot points. The book suggests poker chips or coins. I’ve got better, and I’m here to help you out. Go to the Dollar Store. Get the clear glass beads that are flat on the bottom, and are about an [...]
Number of Views :852Hey everyone! It’s Friday, and I thought I’d show you what I’ve been working on with my Marvel Heroic board. Someone in the comments on YouTube asked for my miniature rules. I don’t have any. This board is meant purely for looks, to give some visuals to the players while they play. [...]
Number of Views :654 Last week, I ran a contest for the Marvel Heroic Roleplaying Basic Game. Using Random.org, I have a result from the many, many entries I recieved. The winner is… Eric Paquette of Eric’s Gaming Pulse! Congratulations! If you didn’t win (and there were many, many of you), don’t dispair. The PDF [...]
Number of Views :773 Today, we’ll talk about Specialties and Milestones. Specialties are the Skills of the Marvel Heroic Roleplaying Game. Every Specialty is listed as either a D8 or a D10. A D8 makes you a Specalist, a D10 makes you a Master. You can roll these with your dice pool when the situation [...]
