I’ve been meaning to […]

I am completely devastated right now. No sooner did I make the post about GM’s day when I spotted the story on ENWorld. Up until the end he was posting on message boards and talking to his fans. He touched the lives of so many, including my own, and I am so sad right now […]

This afternoon Dave and I got to play in the 4th Edition Dungeon Delve, which is a group of about 10 tables set up with various dungeons pre-set that the RPGA staff (and some occasional Wizards employees) were kind enough to run. It was meant to be just hack & slash, get through the […]

This is just a dump of my notes from the Seminar, which I’ll be editing when I get a chance!
9:38- Laptop set up in the Potomac room. The room is maybe ¾ capacity, in a fairly inefficient banquet table format.

One more significant preview of 4e D&D has been released before a lot more is given away at the D&D Experience. The entire Rogue class has been posted for your amusement/derision.
Just a few things that stood out to me:
No more rolling for hit points. You get a fixed amount at first level, and every level […]
