Titan Games & Comics in Poway is great. It's on Poway Road, in the same shopping center as a Del Taco, a Starbucks, a pool hall, and a handful of other stuff.

I'm thinking of running a not so serious d20 Modern game, hoping for the same feel as Ghostbusters. I don't plan on converting anything actually from GB, I just want to capture the feeling. I have a bunch of ideas, mostly dealing with undead or slightly changed stuff out of CoC, but I was...

Champions is a lot of fun. It's not so hard, but it does take some getting used to. 3d6, trying to roll low for most stuff, Xd6, trying to roll high for damage (Or effects.) More complicated than d20, but nothing you can't figure out with an average IQ.

Yeah, my girlfriend bought it for me too, along with a bunch of other gaming stuff. What a great girl.

The Gauntlet moved. It hasn't been on 11th street for ages. They moved on to Prescott by the old Costco building, and then they moved again really recently. I don't know the new address, I think it's on Coffee Rd, somewhere between Sylvan and Rumble. Just call them at (209)526-5591. It is a...

That's just wrong. Since decipher script is class-exclusive to rogues, you cannot spend skill points on it as a wizard. Also, it's max ranks are based on your rogue levels only. Check the 2nd paragraph on page 56 of the PHB.

These aren't normal mats, but they're great. They are transparent plastic with the grid on them, to draw on and place over paper maps. Really handy. http://www.deemergames.com

I seem to remember Keep on the Borderlands not actually being in Greyhawk. Wasn't it some sort of strange GH/Known World mishmash?

"I hate to ruin everyone's suprise, but I need to point out the major suprise with Metroid Prime. It's not a First-Person Shooter exactly. It won't be like Doom, Quake, and Halo. Metroid Prime is a Rail Shooter. Think Rebel Assault. Samus moves along a relatively set path that you direct at...

I think it's Sovereign Glue... I'm suprised nobody said that yet.

Brake fluid works really well, as will any other type of hydrolic fluid. Of course, the brake fluid will bleach color from just about anything it touches, so be careful.

When 3e was first introduced, and people were bitching about gnomes losing their +2 Int, one of the designers came out and said that they didn't want any basic races to have a bonus to a mental stat. Their arguement was that they didn't want any race to be automatically a better spellcaster...

Well, I can make a recomendation or two. I'm just about to start up a new game, running the War of the Lance for a bunch of my college buddies who've never played it (Converted to 3e of course.) Also, the players are using their own characters, none of the pre-gens. My group is certainly a...

Blackleaf is a poor rogue who died to poison. She didn't even get a saving throw. (It's from an anti-D&D tract) Here's a link: http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0046/0046%5F01.asp

I'm sure this has been done before, but I wanted to ask how you guys choose to use Bluff and Sense Motive checks during various roleplaying encounters. Myself, I find I only use it during small encounters, much like traps. You can possibly use a Bluff check to get past the guards at the gate...
