    How to Fit Eberron into D&D 5e? Keith Baker Explains

    The reason for magic items not being priced is mystery pure and simple. its not that they aren't priced its that the players can't know the price or they lose their cool factor. boiling things down to flat bonus's is boring, the cool special effects is what makes magic items fun and so that's...

    Banner Saga Dev Says Apple "Frustrated" With Cheap Mobile Gamers

    I'd like to call myself out as a Casual gamer. though I don't game on mobile much. I have a PC that has steam and gog on it but I've spent maybe 50 dollars on games in the past 3 years. I never understand the logic of "they pay X amount for this so we can charge more" I bought a PC for games...

    Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set Magic Items Preview Released

    Actually I bet Pyrian is right. DnD has always had level based loot tables and minor and major items are on it. I imagine that once you hit level 10 or 15 all the magic items (excluding potions/scrolls) you get will require attunement unless they are the generic +x type items. So for...

    Ubisoft: DRM is Ineffective Against Piracy

    You know everyone is complaining about UPlay and hoping it goes away but if you actually read what Early said he went on about "SERVICES" of which UPlay is one. It's a garbage service created only to deliver Ubisoft's DRM with vestigial purchasing, achievement tracking, and communication...

    While I agree with all of your analysis of the organizations and their comparison I must protest that Greed is not the problem. Inherently I believe greed is the issue. Specifically it?s the exclusive pursuit of profit and the rampant belief that no force is as important to the industry as the...

    Pachter: PlayStation Now Has "No Prayer" of Success

    As I understand PS-Now may not have PS1 and PS2 games on it. It's doubtful that PS4 games will actually be put on the service at all, at least to start. And if 3rd party publishers don't put games from the past 1 to 2 years on the service you may be limited to a lot of early PS3 games that you...

    Sony: PlayStation in the Future Will Be "a Service"

    Services really bug me with some things. Software being one of them. I like being able to get away from things and turn on my console and kill my frustrations with a single player game. Service based system cramming ads down my throat restricting me to playing on their networks reporting my...

    Wii U Update Brings Off-Screen Play To Original Wii Games

    I'd like my Wii U a whole lot more if they would do a system update that eliminated the wiimote entirely. I know it's hard to do but all this bull about you can use this controller but not that controller and then nonsensical features like the controller being controlled by a controller plugged...

    See the whole trouble with being upset about this entire scenario is that we don't know what really happened. Yeah the grid iron people might have committed fraud, this guy might have committed fraud. People are mad at Ouya for not being mad fraud was committed. They punish someone for maybe...

    Why Games Will Only Get Cheaper

    You're a bit naive when it comes to corporate realities. You?re essentially arguing that lack of competition and me giving up my rights while companies retain theirs will lead to lower prices. Because after all, no time a person has given up rights has the situation ever been exploited. Nor...
