I've finally broken down and purchased a copy of D&D 4e, despite the fact that it doesn't appear likely that I'll actually be playing in a 4e campaign anytime soon. But I'll read it, because, what the heck, I like reading RPG books, and since I'm reading it, I figure I might as well post my thoughts on it. Chapter by chapter.

The earliest Discworld novels were based off of Prattchet's RPG experiences. In fact, references to the bizarre D&D magic system and dice-rolling abound in The Color Of Magic. Back in the days when Prattchet DM'd (is it really surprising to learn that he ran games?), he wrote adventures for his players that involved a self-transporting chest with ( Read more... )

In addition to cranky old Kup, I've also added Screwdriver.

Kup lay facedown and offline next to the water's edge for only a short while, but when he booted up he took a moment to wonder why he had shut off to begin with. That fall shouldn't have done it... that dunking shouldn't have done it... his diagnostics showed nothing wrong with his internal systems (in fact, a few minor but persistent faults seemed ( Read more... )

So here is Deadzone Long Haul in alt mode. Now, to cut off the two questions I anticipate ( Read more... )
