Two weeks ago, we asked what your favorite version of D&D is. Among those who have come to our site and voted, 44% chose the brand-spanking new 4th edition. Following behind is 3.5 (and associated branches) at 30%. 2e was third at 9%, with 3.0 being last (behind the non-D&D players.) Very interesting stuff- while [...]

The discussions it has been most prevalent in are ones that pertain to game design, and specifically tabletop games or computer games. About two days ago a reader commented on my post which was mostly ranting about [...]

Just over a week ago Dave wrapped up his 18 Adventure long, and final, D&D 3.5 Campaign with a definitively epic finale.  This inspired him to ask you all how many campaigns you’ve been in that have seen completion, to which a huge 30% of you voted that you’ve never had a campaign finish, or been [...]
