I am sure most of my readers have read about or played Prius Online, which was last hosted by gPotato. The game did had its shortcomings, but now it is back as Arcane Saga, seeking a new challenge! This time, the developer’s own North America portal, Netmarble, will be hosting the game. The game currently

If you look at the name of the game Dungeons & Dragons and compare it with the reality of pen & paper roleplaying, it is obvious that the Dungeons part is far more frequent than the Dragons part. Over an average full campaign you will have many dungeons, but only few dragons. One reason for that is that "dungeons" is a far more open term than "dragons", there can be millions of different dungeons. If you need a dragon, you just take one from the Monster Manual; if you need a dungeon it
Character rest in Dungeons & Dragons
Yesterday's thread on dungeon design led to some discussion of character rest in D&D. Specifically Carmedil didn't like that after an extended rest in 4E all characters were back at full health.

Trickster Online – Game closes without official explanation
This came as a shock to me, since no one around me realized that the game is closing. Most of us played Trickster Online donkey years ago, got to level 200+ and had tons of fun drilling, dying in dungeons and what not. I always thought that the game is making chunks from players, since
