Fourth Edition D&D

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 [...]

What If? On 4E and the Future

by Bob

What if it sucks? Worse… What if I don’t think it sucks, but the rest of my group does? I’ve been asking myself this lately, as I think my good friend Phil has convinced Randy and the rest of our local group that 4E is going to be bad.  REALLY bad.  Aw, hell.  It’s not [...]

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 [...]

Will you always play DnD?

by Bob

I want to tell you all about a couple of conversations I’ve had lately.  The first one is an ongoing discussion with my friend Randy.  Randy and I tend to have these big idea discussions about D&D, about our group of friends, and about our lives.  One discussion revolved around whether the people you play [...]

The 4E Malaise

by Bob

If your gaming group is anything like mine, you can’t stop talking about Fourth Edition. Every blog post or article at WotC, every entry at EnWorld, and every goofy comment (no offense, boys) at Critical Hits and my guys are chatting it up.  It is as if they are a knitting circle that just found [...]

Why I am getting DnD Insider

by Bob

Just now I was able to make it through The Game’s amazingly thorough play-by-play account of the 4E seminar at DDXP.  I was skimming along, trying to get the bird’s eye view, when something caught my eye. I did a spit take. Then, I did a double take. After cleaning off my laptop, I read it [...]

Primary Group Cohesion in Dungeons and Dragons

by Bob

Stupid Ranger has an insightful post today about the way that players should work together in a D&D game.  I won’t rehash her points, you can read them over there for yourself.  I will add something to the conversation, though.  When I was getting my Master’s degree in History, I had a professor who turned [...]

4E at DDXP – Get the Down-low.

by Bob

Just a quick entry this morning.  Get your asses over to critical hits NOW and tell the boys what you’d like to have them talk to the WotC designers about this weekend.  Bartoneous and The Game have scored press passes for the event, and have promised to be eyes and ears for those of us [...]
