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 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 fair to blame it [...]

Game Masters Day – Better Late Than Never!

by Bob

I had intended to observe GMs day in much grander fashion than last year, but with Gary leaving us it didn’t seem right.
In retrospect, maybe he’d have wanted it that way.  At any rate, my loving wife made a cake on GMs day.  Here it is:

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 [...]

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 D&D [...]

I. Hate. Slate. So. Much.

by Bob

I take a few days of relaxation in regard to DnD, only to come back and be reminded of Why I hate Slate.com so much.
FRACK!  Bastards.  I expected it to happen eventually.
I am so pissed off right now I might just spit.  Go over to Slate and tell the jackhole about himself, will you?
Thanks to [...]

Building a New Dungeons and Dragons Campaign Diary #14 – An Adventure

by Bob

I can’t believe it’s been 2 weeks since I’ve worked on the new setting.  BAD DM.  Bad.
I think we’re to the point now where we can actually start putting together an outline for our first adventure.  I’m somewhat limited here because, well, I’m going to be running Lenryn as a 4E game (most likely.  Did [...]

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 out [...]

We Remember Gary – PodCast

by Bob

I was planning on kicking off my latest feature on the DM’s Blog today.  I was going to start publishing a series of PodCasts on 4E.  However, there are two things getting into the way of this:
 1.  I’m having a heck of a time getting the podcast software set up correctly, and
2.  The first portion [...]
