4e, Reviews, and Fairy Tales
Mar. 18th, 2008 08:32 pmSo for the last two days I've been watching the community ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
told_tales, a list about fairy tales. It looks like a great community that just posts way too often for me to keep up with. I may pop back by from time to time, but I have enough trouble keeping up with all the author blogs I read! I've already added the wonderful Mythopoeic Society mailing list to my daily reading, and I think I may be at a reading limit for a bit.

For folks who have been talking about 4e, Keith Baker wrote in an excellent recent blog post "Is there any compelling reason to rush to switch your game to 4E... or to ever run a 4E Eberron campaign? Your mileage may vary. I'm not going to say 4E is going to be all games to all people. But the fact of the matter is that I not only prefer it as a system, I feel that it's a BETTER system for the Eberron setting than 3E - that in plays to things that I consider fundamental themes of the Eberron Campaign Setting."
As far as I'm aware, Keith hasn't been involved in the development of 4e directly (though of course he's involved in converting Eberron), so I think it's a nice vote of confidence to see this coming from him. I also like that he acknowledges 4e may not be the be all, end all--which leaves some great room for individual taste (as, I believe, all games should).

flamesrising just posted my recent review of Happy Hour of the Damned by Mark Henry mdhenry. Now that the new flamesrising site is up, Matt has been posting several of the reviews I wrote this winter, and it's nice to see them up there. He's overwhelmingly sent me books that I liked, and I'm grateful for that. :)
