Why do you Play Dungeons and Dragons?

by Bob

 
We’ve gone, now, without a regular D&D game for several months.  Mainly, it’s due to the 4E malaise, like I’ve said before.  I also said before that I see myself playing D&D pretty much forever. 
It almost seems like the two ideas are incompatible, at first;  if I’m not playing now, what makes me think I’ll pick up [...]

What I’ve Been Up To

by Bob

Toldja yesterday.  It’s the hat.

See the D&D figs in the background?  
Anywho… I came to the conclusion, a couple of weeks back, that this blog was meant to be a labor of love.  By that, I mean that it isn’t going to ever be a reliable stream of blogging income in the way that [...]

Of Markets, RPGs, and Third Parties

by Bob

The Chatty DM has a guest column this morning over at dungeonmastering.com on the concept of the OGL and its effect on Dungeons and Dragons, both in terms of the effect it had on 3E as well as the possible effect on 4E.
I don’t substantially disagree with anything Phil is saying there.  However, I’d like to hone [...]

Monday Morning in Iceland

by Bob

Hey all!
Dang, it’s cold here.  And icy.
I will admit it.  I was a bit cranky last Wednesday.  Maybe it was the weather.  Maybe it was the vodka.  Either way, I’m over it.  I think I’m ready to take this gamer contract thing seriously.  The Philippine Gamer has done some excellent legwork on the question, looking [...]

Building a New D&D Campaign Diary – Entry #6: Geography

by Bob

I don’t know what your favorite subject was in school.  In High School, it was probably English for me;  In college, it had to be History, closely followed by Philosophy.  For those reasons, we’re going to hit an entirely different subject today:  Geography.
You see, I had a little Philosophical fun yesterday working on my little [...]

What I really know for sure about 4th Edition Dungeons and Dragons

by Bob

You know, after playing this game for two and a half decades, I really should get the picture.  The fact of the matter is, I’m a fanboy.  I always have been, always will be.  Let me explain.
When 3rd edition D&D came out, I was skeptical.  I was happy with my AD&D, and so were my [...]
