As you can see, we’ve done some upgrading around here. In addition to looking good, it should be even easier to read and find information. Even the search functions been improved. Please, take a look around. Let me know what’s broken, what you like and don’t like, and feel free to offer suggestions.

Why Spend Time on This?

It’s not so much that we needed a better theme, but that I was learning how to make one. I’ve been doing a lot of studying lately, trying to learn better ways of presenting information, interfaces, articles, and more. See, I firmly believe that the tabletop gaming industry is moving online, and I plan to be ready for it.

Each week we answer a question from our loyal audience. Our question for this week is:

Dear Apathy,

I know you guys are doing a big thing about modern games, but I’ve never been able to get into them. I played some d20 modern, and while I liked it, it bugged me how useless it was using a gun. But then I think, if guns were done realistically, everyone would die and nobody would have fun. Is there something I’m missing?

–FantasyMan, The Internet

Metagaming is a fact of life. Others encourage it, and even some games just down right force it, but honestly does it really help or hinder?
