It seems our DM for the Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition game I was playing in will no longer be running the game on Tuesdays and I suspect probably not running it at all anymore (or at least probably not on a day that I can play). That sucks. I have been thinking about running my own game on one Sunday a month or something to replace it.

My awesome wife ordered the Player’s Handbook 2 for me for Father’s Day, so I’ll be getting that soon.

Tuesdays will be going back to Star Wars Miniatures again, which is pretty cool as I need to play with Chairpatine (Emperor on Throne).

Dave had to do inventory, so no D&D last night. On a bright note, when I said to my (amazingly awesome and beautiful) wife, “I need to make you play D&D with me sometime.”, she said, “Okay, sure.”. Nice!!

This has been my 3rd session of Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition now and I am still enjoying the game regardless of my die rolling. Our DM, Dave, is running the Keep on the Shadowfell adventure, which some of the other players have done before with him. However, they didn’t make it past the last encounter he ran for us yesterday.

I showed up at the store around 6pm last night for our weekely Tuesday fix of 4th edition Dungeons & Dragons. There were 7 players and our Dungeon Master (DM), Dave. We’re playing the “Keep on the Shadowfell” adventure, which some of the group have played through part of.

It seems like a lot of roleplaying has kinda jumped into my gaming life lately. I’m not sure I’ll post about it all that much, but I figured this time is appropriate.

I was invited by Dave, one of the employees at Games To Die For, to play in his 4th edition D&D game. Originally, I wasn’t too sure about it as all the opinions I’d heard about this edition so far have said it’s like World of Warcraft: The RPG; basically, it’s a video game on paper. I have so far watched a session and played in one and it seems like good ol’ D&D with a few enhancements. Granted, the whole “powers” thing can feel like the action bar in WoW, but D&D has had “once per encounter” and “at will” powers for a while, they just weren’t called that. “Marking” felt like WoW at first, but the difference is really plain when you look at it.
