At Will

A little while ago, Michael Lee the point of contact for Aglarond in the Living Forgotten Realms campaign, agreed to let me pick his brain about the RPGA.  He has some interesting reasons for getting involved in the RPGA, and a little more info about how to do it.  Thanks to Michael Lee for his time!

Does anyone not know the Gnomes?  Seriously? 

Regularly churning out great GMing articles, they took some time out of their hectic schedules to talk 4e with At-Will.

d1. OK, First introduce everyone who’s here.

Scott: Scott Martin, a long time stalker of Martin turned into blograde.

DNAphil: DNAphil…Gnome and GM For Hire.

Matthew: Hi. I’m Matthew Neagley. You can find me on Gnome Stew under that name, with the sexy gnome mechanic as my avatar.

The d12.  A die doomed to roll itself back and forth  between other more utilitarian and beloved dice.  The d12 wishes sometimes for six less sides.  In happier, more expansive moments it dreams of eight more sides.

Don’t mistake my intentions for a sudden urge on my part to use it –that would be silly.  Instead, I will honor each face of the lonely, iconoclastic d12 with a question of our esteemed interviewee, Levi Kornelson.

Amagi Games has had a brief but fruitful life in the RPG blogosphere.  His gambits have something to offer GMs of any system.  I’m personally a huge fan of his work thus far.  Each visit to my RSS reader has turned into an a-ha! moment when I witness one of his clever designs.

Here are twelve rolls.
