I live in Minnesota, and although it's not a gaming convention, I find a local con called CONvergence to be the best I have ever been to. It's a local fan run con for all aspects of sci-fi and fantasy and more. Movies, Anime, comics, gaming, literature, hard science, it has it all (and a TON...

I have had this happen before. I am the only player who's willing to play a cleric, and when I was DMing no one took that place. I had them start out at 5th level, and I made avaliable to them a 1st level cleric NPC, but the cleric was the daughter of some one VERY important and it was in...

:*( Dr. Suess, Charles Schultz, Jim Henson, Mr Hooper...and now Mr Rogers I have no words. Lady Starhawk :(

I am looking into purchasing a PDA sometime soon. I have never looked into these seriously and would like some advice from people. Basically I want to be able to take word and text files and move them from my PC to be able to read them on the PDA. I would like to spend under $200 (and...

digital color manipulation It's no secret that Orlando has brown eyes himself, but in one of the "making of" documentaries it shows him with the contacts he had for the filming (in his hand). I can't imagine that they didn't have him wear them for the whole shoot, that would be like having the...

in the extended Merry and Pippin are throwing Rocks at the orcs...probably just knocking them out, so they are probably NOT dead. ;) Lady Starhawk

A note from your friendly neighborhood dyslexic with ADD :) Personally I loved the movies. The books did nothing for me. I merely read them because after I saw Fellowship i HAD to know what happened to the characters. It felt like I was reading a textbook. I was not drawn emotionally into...

When "Fellowship" came out there were all kinds of threads with links to parodies and such of the movie/books. I am looking for that information again. My computer crashed and I lost everything I had, so I lost everything in my computer. Specifically I am looking for the shortened Fellowship...

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I couldn't figure out where this was, I had heard it was on there but couldn't figure out where. You made my day :) Lady Starhawk

Well, just got home a bit aog from seeing it. I loved it!!! It was everything I hoped it would be and more. I can't wait to see the next one. Not sure if anyone else noticed this, but throughout most (if not all) of the movie Gollum speaks of himself as 'us', 'we' and such...but his last...

It's not necessarily the line, but how it was delivered... "They have a cave troll". I just love how Sean delivered it and his body language as he shuts the door. Lady Starhawk

I am about to DM for the first time in 3rd edition, and I just had something brought to my attention from one of my players. In the past I have always rolled for HP's when you level...but I have a player who, if he doesn't roll high enough, will get his character killed in order to try again...

This seems to be my group's expertise. One guy ran characters with sandwitch themes. When Frank Nfurter died me made Hammond Samich. Those were the worst, I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of them right now.

Last week we just started a new homebrew fantasy game. We were all given characters that we could customize, and we were given the backgrounds for the characters. The DM wanted a group of characters to have ligit. reasons to do what they do and to have everyone have their own different...

Pine-Sol works wonders for me for removing paint from minis. I soak them straight from the bottle, I don't water it down. But the first time I soaked a mini I used a palstic cup, and it ate through the cup. I can imagine what it can do to your hands. I use a glass babyfood jar now and that...

I wholehwaeredly agree. I had tried to read the Hobbit many times, and had to give up. I couldn't follow the characters or what was going on or why. Then I saw FOTR and I HAD to know what happens to the charactrers. I bought the Cliff's Notes and that helped a lot, there's information about...

Someone suggested (and it worked :) ) using PineSol to strip a mini. I had some lying around the house, and put the mini in a small glass jar, filled the jar with Pine-Sol and left it overnight. The next morning the paint and sealer rubbed off with a toothbrush and hot water :). I bought a...

I don't play wargames, just D&D so the most guys I tend to transport is maybe a dozen. I also can't afford to buy the big or expensive cases. I bought a school box (the plastic pencil boxes you can find anywhere) and bought a square of chair covering foam from a craft store (about 1" thick)...

I must admit I have owned these for a long time, but just this week have started reading the first one. I do enjoy his works, and I admit I don't read as much of his stuff as I used to, but I seem to be getting bored with his newer stuff. But it could just be my tastes have changed. I have...

female perspective? I am a female. However I am not your "normal" female. I game friday nights, and I go to sci-fi and fantasy conventions. I like discussing old and current game characters. I play computer games for fun, and I have had the original star wars triology memorized for over 10...
