Number of Views :854In the most recent Game Informer Magazine, there’s an article that talks about playing video games on Easy Mode. He presents a pretty compelling reason to do so, which I was grateful for, because I’ve always played that way. His argument is that when you’ve got less of a danger of dying, [...]
Number of Views :663Every couple months, RPG companies come out with their latest batch of errata for their games. For those who don’t know what errata is, it’s all the changes they’ve made to the game, since they realized how screwed up some rule was that they didn’t fix in the initial playtesting. As the [...]
Number of Views :4325Wimwick over at Dungeon’s Master.com recently wrote a post called “Dwarves Are the Best Race” in which he (very convincingly) explaned how Dwarves are the very best race to play in D&D 4e. Sir, I challenge you on that point of contention. I say, Humans are the best race! Now, I don’t have [...]
Number of Views :2098Recently, I noticed a trend in gamers to switch up their dice. This would happen for several reasons: simply finding something shiny & new, old dice were rolling badly, or for the reason I am going to speak of below: changing dice with changing characters or games. Many players change their dice [...]
Number of Views :1741I’ve found, as of late, that I simply don’t have time for long encounters. We only have about 2-3 hours a week we’re together, so getting through multiple scenes is essential. There’s no time to spend the whole session whacking away at a pair of wyverns, so I’ve begun ignoring the monster’s [...]
Number of Views :216 Tonight, I have been sitting here and thinking about girls and gaming. And the notion struck me that girls are natural-born gamers. Granted all children have creative and elaborate imaginations but girls are often known as having deeper ‘story lines’. For instance, picture a young girl playing happily in her room. [...]
Number of Views :361 Who doesn’t want to have a small army at their disposal? Leadership was great in 3.5. It gave you the chance to create another character to work alongside yours, and a few followers to… well… do whatever followers do. 4th Edition, for the most part, does not translate well from 3.5; [...]
Number of Views :398 Hey boys and girls; it’s that time again. That time when I have two cents and some times you listen and give yours as well. I’m a big Hard Rock and Heavy Metal fan but also very eclectic with the other genres I enjoy. Many people say that nowadays and it’s mostly [...]
Number of Views :271 So, I’ve found that when I DM, I tend to roll really poorly. Now, I’m not the type of DM who is in competition with players, so this doesn’t bother me. However, it’s a bit disconcerting when more than three-quarters of the time, I”m simply rolling under 5. When you’ve got [...]
Number of Views :499 Ah, 4th Edition. I love what 4th Edition has done with the place. New system, new rules, new joys, and new frustrations. However, there is such a thing as fixing what is not broken. And as many would suggest, something you shouldn’t do. Starting wealth in 3.5 was very simple. Read [...]
