I think it would be worthwhile to start an exploration of them but I'll need a bit of time to come up with the best method of addressing them. Maybe an 'Ask the GM lawyer' series? Give everyone a chance to submit situations or ideas and then have 'the lawyer' look at the possible rulings - I need to give it some thought. I do have an idea or two about software tools - I hope you find at least some of them interesting. As for GM tips - I think that's a safe bet and an area I hope that will generate some interesting discussions as well.

For example, I recently DMed a battle where the final baddie cast darkness on the PCs and fought with Blind-Sight. The situation was complicated because the Druid had a wolf companion with the scent ability. I've talked to a few DMs since and asked how they would run it, but discussions like that here would be great! I'd also like to see more tips for DMs. I essentially taught myself how to play D&D and have since taught all of my players. I haven't really had the chance to play with other DMs, which is the best way to learn. I'd love to see more of that here. I too would like discussions on tricky rules.
