    Chicago Gameday 25 is Feb 27th: SIGN UP NOW!

    :( Our cat is sick and we need to get him to a vet, so hawkshadow's and my morning spots are now open. I'm hoping we'll still be able to do the afternoon session. If y'all have any vet suggestions in the Games Plus area, they'd be appreciated.

    Chicago Gameday XXI was November 8th: Aftermath...

    Regarding the morning game cancellation: as Hawkshadow and I are double-booked for the day, we will have to bow out of doing any of the other games. Maybe next time....

    Sad news about The Game Escape near Chicago

    Very recently, Scott Kelton, owner of The Game Escape in Crystal Lake, IL, passed away suddenly. He will be missed. If you were involved in any activities at the store, they are probably on hold. (Paint night, scheduled for tomorrow, is cancelled.) I haven't heard anything about what's going...

    Chicago Gameday XVIII: the aftermath!

    The first GameDay in toooo long that I want to go to, have games picked out, and all... ...and it's the same weekend as WindyCon. :( And while we haven't gone to Windy in years, this year there's a memorial we need to go to. :(

    Consequences of the Quill (Restored 5/13/06)

    Nope, I meant Fluffy as in the gigantic wolf. Robin has been basically operating without any animal companion as long as I can remember. > Init: +4 (Feat) Should be +7 to take the dex into account. Items: > Crystal Bath w/ See Invisibility ??? I think he's got something else that lets him...

    Consequences of the Quill (Restored 5/13/06)

    > Animal Companion (leopard) Y'know, I don't remember ever seeing that one around. What about "Fluffy"? Also, I remember Robin using a cloak of flying. Could be it's an additional power on the other cloak.

    Any published rules on Shrink Item on ammo?

    Just wondering if there are any published rules on using shrink item on ammo -- and how un-shrinking that ammo works (i.e., when does it happen, how long does it take to happen), and the effects thereof (i.e., the 1/2" wide broadhead arrow in your chest becomes 8" wide, resulting in...?). Link...

    1. Wile E. Coyote No matter how often you kill him, he always comes back for more. Hannibal can only die once. 2. Emperor Palpatine Consider how much Palpatine was able to do without anyone having a clue he was the Big Bad Evil Guy. 3. Sauron (Lord of the Rings) Moriarty was human. Sauron is...

    "The Hart Bow" -- what series pilot was that from?

    This came up a couple of game nights ago, and I keep thinking about it... There was a series pilot that ran as a 2-hour (or so) movie, sometime between 79 and 84. It was a fantasy story, with the hero traipsing all over the place looking for something. The hero ends up with this bow with a huge...

    Share you worst campaign meltdown

    I once triggered a meltdown, though I wasn't the cause of it. I was just the person that set it off... R had been running a game for a while when we were in college. Now, R had some ideas on How Games Ought To Work Out. Well, great, if he'd been running a group that had played together for a...

    Gaming Nags- how many are there out there?

    > It seems to me that gamin' and wives just don't mix. Ahem. IME, when both parties in the relationship game, they generally mix quite well, thank you. But when you have gamer + non-gamer... then you have to compromise. One guy I know arranges his game so it's on nights when his wife is out...

    Anita Blake d20?

    I agree, but for the fact that the author of the Dresden books really needs to look at a map of the Chicago area. Having lived in the city for a few years, I got sick of the complete disregard for actual city geography and demographics after about three books.

    How we play the game: Character sheets

    I use an Excel spreadsheet that works in OpenOffice. It looks pretty much like the official sheets, but since it's editable, I can do layout tweaks (though huge changes in layout would be too much work). I've added or enhanced some of the auto-calculating features. Current characters have a page...

    Doubling the cost of Magic Item creation in GP and XP

    Tread cautiously. D&D monster CR ratings assume characters will have a standard amount of gear, including magical gear. Cut down the amount of magic items the characters can get, and some encounters get significantly more difficult. If the PCs are too familiar with the magic items in the DMG...

    DMs: Monster Minis in your game

    After following some of the links in this thread, I discovered MageKnight singles. They're *cheap* -- the "weak" figs are identical in appearance to the "tough" figs, but "weak" costs about half as much as "tough". I never looked at MageKnight before -- but when you ignore their game mechanics...

    What is a Rogue to do in an undead-heavy campaign?

    Skullclan Hunter rules in this situation... Skullclan Hunter, from Miniatures Handbook. Multiclass and take one level of cleric, and you're good to go for a rogue PrC that's optimized for undead destruction, with all kinds of *nice* anti-undead defenses (all the way up to immunity to level...
