Kids on the internet is (or at least should be) a pretty scary thing for parents. There are predators, perverts or people with questionable ideas that you just don't want to expose your children to. I find it odd, therefore, that so many parents let their elementary school age children play WoW unsupervised. They must see it as an electronic babysitter like television or single player video games rather than what it really is: having your child be babysat by 9 million potential weirdos. These children attempt to get much needed guidance and attention from whatever stranger happens to be nearby. More than just exposing children to negative influences, these parents are missing out on a great opportunity to teach their children some very important life lessons.

As a race that wasn't introduced until The Burning Crusade expansion, blood elves and their position in the Horde have always been a thorn in the side of roleplayers. As for the current state of the blood elves ... well, it's slightly less chaotic than the times of The Burning Crusade, but there are still interesting points for blood elf roleplayers to play with.
The Sunwell What happened Perhaps the most important development in the eyes of the blood elves is the rebirth of their beloved Sunwell. Kael'thas Sunstrider made the painful decision to destroy the Sunwell for good. As for the Sunwell, it remained dead until the tail end of The Burning Crusade. DD4EPlayersHandbook1.

First Crop of 4e Tools. I wrote my monthly column for Johnn Four’s Roleplaying Tips newsletter last night.
It was a 1500 word article on teaching a RPG to new players, I’ll repost it here as soon as Johnn puts it on his site. That also means that I have no meaty article for here this morning… time for some linkys! Fans are taking initiative in the wake of WotC’s on par performance with DNDinsider (i.e. they always sucked at software) and making some incredibly useful tools for D&D 4e. First and foremost is Asmor’s Random 4e Encounter generator. You plug in the Encounter level, the number of PCs and the difficulty of the encounter. The results might not make a whole lot of sense… but some of the encounters presented in the Monster Manual aren’t all that logical either. Use them to stretch those creativity muscles and don’t forget that an encounter now is usually spread over larger area (i.e multiple dungeon rooms).
Also from Asmor, here’s his 4e Monster Math Cruncher. John Kim's Styles of Roleplaying Page. What's New • About This Site • Site Map • What is an RPG? • Company List • Bigass List of Games • Free RPGs • Murder Mysteries • RPG Theory • System Design • Systems & Reviews • Games&Copyright • My Campaigns • Convention Reports • Links • Blog This page covers various attempts to describe RPGs in general terms. There are many sources for advice on role-playing games, but most of these try to promote a "One True Way" of playing. Rather than telling you how to roleplay, this is a collection of articles on what the different ways are -- and the pros and cons of different choices. Many of the articles here were inspired by discussion on the newsgroup rec.games.frp.advocacy, discussion on the web-based bulletin board The Forge as well as the RPGnet Forums, and ideas from a number of RPG blogs (see the Blog Links of my journal).
