Why don’t you start off by telling us a little bit about you and your history with D&D, what you're playing now, and anything else you want people to know about you? I have been involved in Dungeons & Dragons since my older brother (Brian R. James) first introduced it to me in 1987. I was too young to play it then, but I do have vivid memories of sword & sorcery and the tales that came about from his gaming group. When I got a bit older, I was finally able to join my brothers group (much to their chagrin) when someone could not attend. Since those early days, I have been involved heavily in RPGs and have played every edition, to include the original white boxed set. Aside from actually playing the game, I am a dedicated collector. I own a good portion of the D&D catalog since the ...

Why don’t you start off by telling us a little bit about you and your history with D&D, what you're playing now, and anything else you want people to know about you? My name is Yan, 33, I am French-Canadian living in Montréal, Québec with my wife and 2 daughters. I started playing D&D in the late 80s with the famous red box, like many other kids out there no doubt. Since then I played every iteration of the game and it has been one of my passions ever since. There isn't a day I don't read or write D&D, or visit its community. I currently run an AD&D 2nd edition campaign and a D&D 4th edition campaign, as well as playing and running D&D Next, both online and face-to-face. The playtest has been a very exciting experience ...

My name's Russ Morrissey (I use the username "Morrus" online) and I own an RPG news, reviews, and community website called EN World. I also own the Gen Con EN World RPG Awards, the ENnies, which is the world's premier RPG awards program, Circvs Maximvs (a more offbeat community which has a large proportion of gamers) and EN Publishing, a small RPG company which focuses primarily on plot-heavy adventure paths for the experienced GM or DM. I also co-own (with my brother) and produce an animated web series called The Perturbed Dragon, which pokes fun at some of our failings as gamers. My first D&D game was when...

Why don’t you start off by telling us a little bit about you and your history with D&D, what you're playing now, and anything else you want people to know about you? I am an online community coordinator for Wizards of the Coast and got my start in the community by volunteering for the VCL program back during the Gleemax era. I have been playing D&D since 1988, starting with the Red Box then moving straight into AD&D 2nd Edition. Dove headfirst into 3rd Edition as soon as it came out and did the same with 4th Edition. During both the 2nd Edition era and the 4th Edition era, I took brief breaks from D&D to explore other RPGs, including the World of Darkness, Rifts, Pathfinder, and a variety of obscure horror RPGs. I also happen to be married to a freelance game designer, layout artist, ...

Why don’t you start off by telling us a little bit about you and your history with D&D, what you're playing now, and anything else you want people to know about you? Before I answer any questions, I just want to say I'm honored to even be asked to participate. I am truly humbled. As for who I am, my name is Rhys Fawkes, I'm 30 years old, and I currently live with my wife and daughter in Hong Kong, though I am originally from the San Francisco Bay Area. I am a professional video game designer, but the bulk of my work is as a consultant for companies in "gamification", to improve the performance and motivation of their employees. I started playing roleplaying games with AD&D 2e in 8th grade, but my first long-running campaign was the DragonLance modules for 1e. A player in my group...

Why don’t you start off by telling us a little bit about you and your history with D&D, what you're playing now, and anything else you want people to know about you? I’m the D&D and Kaijudo Operations coordinator in Game Support. I’ve been working at Wizards for almost 4 years now, where I originally started as an in-house ORC. I just turned 33, am married but have no kids, so comparatively I’ve got a pretty good amount of time in my life for gaming (which I do, copiously). I started playing D&D in the mid-90’s, during 2nd edition with some high school friends. One of those friend’s father had been playing D&D since the very beginning, and in that time had gathered together all the material he had created over the years into a sort of mega-campaign ...

Why don’t you start off by telling us a little bit about you and your history with D&D, what you're playing now, and anything else you want people to know about you? I fix computers for a living, and do programming and game design on the side. I play many games, but usually those that involve tactics or strategy. Often I'll enjoy playing with the meta as much as playing the game itself. Currently, I'm playing a lot of League of Legends.As for D&D my first experience was a bad one. I was invited to play (3 or 3.5) by an acquaintance. So i went, spent 20 minutes rolling up a rogue and 20 more coming up with a story. After a few tunnels, we entered a room, where i rolled initiative, then promptly got a fireball to dead. I then spend the next 2 hours

Why don’t you start off by telling us a little bit about you and your history with D&D, what you're playing now, and anything else you want people to know about you? I started playing about five years ago, in 3.5, and after moving found a new group interested in playing 4e, which I've had a blast playing. Most of my D&D nowadays happens on GameTable Online, which picked up the D&D Virtual Table. But beyond D&D, I've been playing games of all kinds my entire life, running the whole spectrum. Video games of a variety of genres, board games, card games, I love them all. What do you think of the D&D Next playtest so far? So far, it's about what I expected. There are some really good parts and some less good parts. Not every idea is going to be brilliant and awesome right out of the ...

My name is Chris. I live in northwest Florida with my beautiful wife and two sons. I am a small business owner, woodworker, amateur author, artist, and total RPG enthusiast. My history with D&D goes back to 1st edition AD&D in 1986. I was 10 years old and, after having looked through a friend's Player's Handbook, was instantly hooked. I was an avid player until 1989, when 2nd edition was released, at which point I took my first stab at DMing. Since that time I have primarily DMd the various editions of D&D. Right now I DM a weekly 2nd edition game at home, a weekly 4th edition game at my FLGS, and a weekly playtest...

In today's Legends and Lore article, Mike talked about the iconic cleric ability of turning undead. I loved the idea of individual undead monsters having differnet turn undead entries in their stat blocks because it felt like a cool way to distinguish the different undead - give them mechanics that reflect their flavor. You can actually see something akin to this in action in 4E - several undead monsters have a "vulnerable radiant" entry which gives some other rider like slowed or loses insubstantial until end of next turn.
Something like that but specifically for turn undead would be awesome for flavor, story, and make the cleric feel boss, right? Well it turns out there might be some problems with that idea. After talking it over with people, some of which think differently than me (seriously,... |
