Hey folks. Scorpion on a Stick co-author, Nate 20 (I'm the crittingest), here. Just thought I'd take a minute to write up my intro. I enjoy games of a wide variety (board games, party games, collectible and non-collectible card games, computer games and so on...) but I've been table top RPG gaming for about 18 years. I believe I started with Robotech and TMNT but have played more tha my share of D&D 2nd, 3rd and 4th editions, GURPS Supers, GURPS Trek, D20 Modern (in a Buffy-esque setting usually) and Ars Magica. I pretty much just play D&D 4E these days though. I usually prefer more story-telling than hack-n-slash, but really what good is one without the other?
A few thoughts off the top of my head. WotC recently announced the development of D&D 5E. Cool, I guess. I loved 2nd, loved 3rd even more and wasn't crazy about 4th when it came out. Seems a little soon, but if it's better than 4th, then great. Buying new corebooks is a pain. Let's hope the new ones have some 2nd-esque art. That stuff was epic! I'm probably most excited about the prospect of new a new minis series. And seriously when are they going to make a tarrasque mini? I'm using an old Star Wars Rancor toy that I taped to one of the sides of a 3-ringed binder. I found another one that was smaller than I'd like but still looks awesome on some British gaming site. But Robot Black is painting/assembling it for me so I don't have it yet. I don't have talent making/painting minis! That's why I buy these prepainted plastic ones. Also, ever since I was a kid playing with gi joes, tmnts and star wars toys, I always thought minion bad guys should come in like a bucket. I mean what good is one storm trooper or foot soldier? They're only a force to make the good guys nervous when there are like scores of 'em. Same logic goes to minis. I need like a bag of like 3 dozen goblins. Sell that!
Rant concluded.
