    [OT] The Settlers of Catan

    there are some PC versions out here (most notably some online ones), and Capcom is actually making a version for the PS2, due out this fall I believe.

    (OT) Crank Yankers and your own crank phone call memories

    I dunno where I saw/heard it (had to be on TV or something), but one guy handled telemarketing calls as though he really enjoyed them. He made the telemarketer stay on the phone, telling him about saving 72% on his newspapers (or whatever), until he was "done". it was classic.

    [OT] The Settlers of Catan

    Settlers...the "gateway" game Catan is great. Seafarers adds "width", Cities & Knights "depth" (although some say unnecessarily so) to the base game. If you really like Catan, you can then get Das Buch, an all-German book & game pieces set that includes 50+ variants, scenarios, etc. Other...

    Design some dungeon rooms for me please

    OR...use the "dungeon/trap" from the Discworld book "Sourcery"...I just read it this past weekend, can't remember exactly how it went. The gist of it was the owner of the dungeon had a sense of humor, so the first trap involved something like a mechanical hand, holding a feather, that would...

    Design some dungeon rooms for me please

    Head down to your FLGS (or used book store) and try to find any of the old Grimtooth books. That's 50% of what you're looking for (cool traps)...

    (OT Computer OS) Which Should I Use Win2000 or XPpro?

    I'm running XP Pro Enterprise edition....and I gotta say I love it. very stable for me, and somewhat "pretty-fied" for the fiancee. It has quite a few little features that, while barely mentionable, are nice. Overall, I'd recommend it in a heartbeat. As long as you patch it. Which is true...

    My first D&D experience (tonight!)

    well, i figured he could hear the orc when he was in the room, and he could use his concentration to keep doing so while he quickly looted the room (for all of 20 seconds or so), and the orc went screaming down the hall (all of 30 feet)...so that's what we went with. And the DM is always right...

    My first D&D experience (tonight!)

    thanks for the feedback guys! :) Yeah, I've been "investing" over the past year in a lot of the books. PHBx2, DMG, MM, OE, Creature Coll.1&2, Counter Coll 1 & 2, T&T, R&R, S&F, E&A, S&S, DotF, T&B, HBG, DM Screen, Adventure Game, the first 4 Freeport adventures, Sunless Citadel, Dungeon 87 &...

    My first D&D experience (tonight!)

    Chillin at home with one of my buddies...the rest of the crew was busy. We were hoping to start some D&D (he played a little back in the day...very little, though) this weekend with everyone. But it was about 9pm, just the two of us hanging out, and we were bored. We decide to generate his...

    Cheap DM/Player tips

    limited floorspace? not a problem. Magnets are your friend. Get a big ol' magnetic board, and mount tokens on refrigerator magnets. There's even a company that sells magnetic dungeon pieces (link, anyone?), although they're a little pricey for my tastes. Anyway, a big ol' magnetic board lets...

    Monster Counters

    so...how would one best go about mounting the Counter Collection on balsa? What kinda glue, sealant?, cutting, etc.? I'm thinking maybe rubber cement (isn't that suppsoed to be good for wood/cardboard applications?), sticking the whole sheet of counters onto a whole sheet of balsa, waiting for...

    'Return to...' adventures

    is there a good source online for D20 conversions of these "classic" adventures? I'm a new D&D'er...and I'd love to run em, but don't exactly have the experience, skill, or knowledge of the systems to convert 2e to 3e...
