If you have Microsoft Word... Copy and Paste the image into Word, right click on the image... one of the options should be Format Picture. This should bring up a menu with an Artistic Effects option... which has some fun options.

One of my gaming crew came down with not-COVID last week, but had to suffer through that interminable "how many people did I possibly infect?" period while waiting for test results (because apparently some take-home tests aren't terribly accurate in detecting Omicron). Wanting to check in on...

Mystic is my default for the shamanistic range of class abilities, but I also use Keeper, Warden and Grey Walker to designate various magical specialties. Or I guess Spirit Walker could be a thing.

I'm a rabid multi-tasker, and I *need* to keep my hands busy - usually sketching but often reviewing my spells and abilities. The DM always has my full attention, but I can-not-be-still. Can't do it. But I'm usually the most active & engaged PC. As a DM, I've had Dreamers, who need to be...

I think this is a re-post of the Sentinel (Neutral Good Paladin) from Dragon 310: Sentinel Also, Unearthed Arcana (3.5) has variant Chaotic Good Paladin (compulsion immunity/aura instead of fear immunity/aura; different spell list), as well as a LE & CE version. Ultimately, if your DM is...

I read the OP as saying the campaign would take place on a Railroad. I would totally play a campaign set on a Railroad. Awesome.

The CSI/Who themes are a triumph of cross marketing. Or something. They're just awesome. I'm always happiest when they milk the organ intro leading up to the "Horatio Scream." ("Looks like... [sunglasses on] ... a critical hit.") "Behind Blue Eyes" is the next/best/obvious choice for a CSI...

Over the course of years of play, we pick up terminology that really isn't officially sanctioned and copy-written by TSR, WOTC, or The Powers That Be. Nevertheless these words become part of our gaming langauge. What unofficial jargon does your group use? Some examples... "Playing" - No one...

I totally forgot this when I started the thread... I used to hike down to Temple University to game with a friend and his college buddies. One night, for a change of pace, we played after hours in this upscale bakery in Center City Philadelphia where he worked. After an hour or so, my friend...

So, wait... were the lab rats playing PC's or were they simply menacing the miniatures...?

We've all gamed in cramped dining rooms, cluttered apartments without air conditioning, or lounging around the living room. What are the strangest places you've played? What obscure objects have stood in for your gaming table? As a teen I had somehow procured two 4' high wooden...

A dedicated gaming space is a thing of beauty, and you have the beginnings of an awesome set-up, especially with that DM's shelf & monitor. My experience with couches has been less of a socializing issue and more that they tend to lull folks (myself included) toward sleep after a while. It...

My players love to identify "gaming songs" = anything from pop to metal that matches their characters... everything from "Hot Child in the City" for a Fire Sorceress to "I Don't Wanna Be" (I come from the mountain/ the crust of creation) for a Dragon-blooded Warrior to a hundred more I can't...
