Last year, I produced a graph showing the relative size of each edition of D&D from 1974 onwards. This included all the published and announced books for 4e but only six months from its launch, the data for 4e was limited. Now I’m updating it to give a fuller picture of 4th Edition and I [...]

This week’s poll is for players and GMs.
Poll: At my last game session I ….
This week’s poll is a snapshot of your gaming life. I want to know about your last gaming session. It doesn’t matter how typical or unusal this session was. If there were two or more of you, with dice and rulles, I want to know what you played and who with.

Poll: Of Books and Reading and That Sort of Thing
The written word – mankind’s greatest invention. It is capable of conveying great beauty and emotion but is regularly butchered by semi-literate bloggers like me. We want to know what do you read and when?
