Free World of Darkness Books

by Bob

Hiya everyone,
Things are bustling work-wise this week.  I even had to skip my golf game last night.  I’m thoroughly bummed.
At any rate, my playtest of Keep on the Shadowfell won’t happen until this weekend, so it’ll be next Monday or so before I have it for you.
I’ve got an interesting idea for a post tomorrow, so [...]

RPGs and Fantasy Writing

by Bob

I normally do my link-outs on Sundays, and I’ll have more for you this Sunday.  I wanted to devote a full post today to two different friends of this blog, both of which connect two of my greatest loves in life: RPGs and writing.
First, most of you know Kameron Franklin, author of the Forgotten Realms [...]

Keep on the Shadowfell

by Bob

I’m not sure how, but I managed to devote a couple of hours last night to flipping through Keep on the Shadowfell, the preview adventure for D&D 4E. Now, until it’s played, I will reserve full judgment, but here is what I’m getting at first blush:
4E completes the work of making D&D a true gaming [...]

Dungeons and Dragons Sunday Link Smashup for May 17, 2008

by Bob

Hi, everyone!
I’ve had a heck of a busy week, but I’ve still managed to find you all a few useful links.  No commentary on them other than to say that there are a wide variety of 4E opinions in these links – on purpose.
Next Sunday’s Smashup should be good, as we’ll start to see more [...]

Here’s the relevant Gen Con excerpt:
“I learned that we are, indeed, goin’ to Gen Con! Clearly, one of the big thrusts of the show will be 4E. We have a cap on the number of R&D [...]

by Bob

I almost hate to knock Name This Blog, Win A Prize off the top of the page, but I will.  Keep in mind you’ve got a couple of weeks to continue to submit names for this blog still.
At any rate, this discussion is better late than never.
The news you’ve probably heard already is that Monte Cook, [...]

Why Dungeons and Dragons Geeks are Behind the Times

by Bob

Before you get all pissed off and start ripping me a new asshole, let me say this:
I’m a Dungeons and Dragons geek, and I’m damned proud of it.  I love my D&D peeps, and wouldn’t trade them for all the gold in World of Warcraft.
Having said that, I’ve noticed some things.  See, I run a [...]

Dungeons and Dragons 4E Cosmology and Core World

by Bob

One of the massive changes taking place in Dungeons and Dragons 4E is the creation of a core world.  Up to this point, D&D has only ever provided players with elements of a core world or core cosmology – such as the old Greyhawk Deities in D&D 3E. 
This change is a long time coming.  Think [...]
