    Top 10 boardgames on BGG

    I'm very interested in trying A Game of Thrones. Cosmic Encounter is a great, great game if you can tolerate some randomness. Dune is a keeper too.

    Making your own power cards

    Thanks :) I'd attach them if I had them :( Unfortunately I have no expertise editing MSE templates whatsoever. . . . one of these days. In the meantime, I HAVE been fooling around with a new way to distribute card-content that doesn't rely on MSE. The idea is to embed a dynamic flash movie in...

    Making your own power cards

    This is a mockup of a card design (latest of many, actually) that I did initially in Fireworks. Is there a better place to post icon sets than this board?

    Making your own power cards

    Ugh! the label is wrong on the shield icon - it should be "Defense: Fortitude" --> And yes, the pun is definitely intentional.. . .

    Making your own power cards

    Any interest in a new icon style? I've been messing around with powercard designs over the summer, but I just don't have time to edit a new template for MSE. The basic idea was to - if possible - indicate the class of keyword by the shape of its icon, and the specific keyword by the symbol on...

    The good, bad and weird of PC names:

    Knight Biggerstaff. The sad part is, it isn't the name of a character, but a real-live human being.

    Not "if only" but historical truth! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaus_Fuchs A German socialist who fled to England in the 30's, went to America to work on the Manhattan Project, and sold nuclear secrets to the Russkies!

    Fantasy authors worth the reading.

    George Martin may be a great writer (As he showed in the first 3 books of Song) but he needs a superhuman EDITOR. The last book (Feast for Crows) accomplished in one volume what it took Jordan six to do - slide into pointless blathering in the name of "epic."

    Greatsword, not Bastard Sword

    Historically, greatswords are NOT as heavy, clumsy, or unwieldy as is commonly imagined. Katanas are NOT automatically better! http://www.deltin.net/2158.htm - this is a 15th century 2-hander. It weighs a gargantuan 4.5 lbs. [/sarcasm] http://www.deltin.net/2162.htm - this one is about as...

    MSE Documentation for designer?

    Is anyone aware of a user-friendly tutorial on how to design a *template* for MSE? Is it something that a non-coder can achieve without a modicum of effort? I've waded through the very interesting thread on do-it-yourself power cards and been inspired!

    Help reign in a player who refuses to play his role

    Seriously. Expose him in fights. Refuse to buff or assist him. Give him the cold shoulder until he cries or goes away.

    2h weapon imbalance?

    IMO bastard sword is kinda broken. . . at the cost of 1/18 of total feats, you get to use a shield AND/OR more damage. Only an extremely feat-starved or thematic character would choose Greatsword. Not to be a complete dork, but historically speaking, "bastard swords" were used after shields had...
