I've only been gaming steadily for about five years, and most of that has been DMing for D&D.
I'm very interested in the early RPGs of the 70s and early 80s, but my active game right now is a 4th edition D&D game with some house rules to (hopefully) give it some of the feel of those older games.
My interest in gaming is two-fold, in that not only am I an active gamer, but a PhD student in anthropology and will be writing my dissertation on role-playing games. I'm interested in the connections between play, myth, and ritual.

What are the mechanical implications of Dungeons & Dragons Essentials? I've heard the rarity system discussed in relation to the essentials line--MME will probably use it as well. |

Do any powers use the percentile dice anymore? Somehow I hadn't realized that. It's kind of sad, although I suppose Platonic solids purists are happy. |

Is there a way to salvage print distribution or put it out of its misery? I'm with mxyzplk on this one--rephrasing the question would help a lot--the actual subject matter is on topic, but the question as written is highly speculative. I'll add that it should probably be Community Wiki even if re-written. |

Any news about a Malazan RPG? That's about what I had gathered, but I was hoping someone might be able to dig something up. Sad day. I imagine it has to happen eventually though. |

What can I do to keep my cool at the table? If anyone has a good answer for this, I know some of my players could benefit. ;-) |

What is a Mega Dungeon? In line with what Justin said, some people call them "Campaign Dungeons" rather than megadungeon. I'd also add in the dynamic/ecological aspect. |
