Labor Day weekend I was at Tacticon in Denver. It is mostly a role-playing/board game/tactical and historical miniatures Con. I posted pictures in several places over the course of the weekend: Day 1, Day 1 Part 2, and Day 2. This is the full report for the first game!

I’ll make a case here as to why I think all of the classes in this version, but especially the Rogue, are more balanced between each other than ever before.
A few days ago, Wizards of the Coast released the Basic Rules for Dungeons and Dragons, 5th edition. Although this is the first time such an extensive set of rules has been released, for free, in PDF form, the decision to do this doesn’t really surprise me.
