    [OT] Gaming Consoles: Which one?

    Alright, I'm hooked... so I'll throw in my 2 shiny copper pieces... I have a PS2, and I've yet to be disapointed by it... Grand Theft Auto 3, as mentioned earlier, is one hell of a game... the fact that it's open ended... there are games within the game... and to be able to steal a car, hear a...

    (DMs) How do you handle overland movement in your campaigns?

    As a DM, I like running campaigns where the player's move from various locales to other various locale, sometimes spanning hundreds of miles. I do try to give player's the choice to go anywhere they want, but tactfully attempt to prod them in my "story" direction at the same time. What I've...

    How many players/characters in your campaign

    In my campaign in which I DM, I have 4 players. I have to admit that combat has been pretty well handled by the 4 (comprising of a fighter, a cleric, a druid, and a wizard), though I would prefer it if there were 5. It's my understanding that the default 4 covers the 4 basic character classes...

    Has anyone used WeatherMaster on FR?

    It's not that there is anything wrong with it, but it's a little skewed at points.... for one, there is no moon cycle. Secondly, I think the days for the Equinoxes and Solstices are wrong, and thirdly they only give one climate zone to select from... all minor points, but it was enough for me to...

    Has anyone used WeatherMaster on FR?

    Actually, I made the database with the 1.1.2 upgrade.... it's just over a meg, and these boards only allow for just over 100 kb....

    Has anyone used WeatherMaster on FR?

    Here's my database for the Forgotten Realms I have a database that I came up with, and seems to be working really well. Shieldmeet only comes up once every four years, and all the non-week holidays work great. To keep things consistent, I recommend creating weather beginning on the first day...

    Calculating custom monster CRs...

    I'm assuming this was covered in a Dragon Magazine, but can anyone tell me which issue it was? Also, in the case of not being able to find this issue at any of my local gaming stores, is there anything been done by an unofficial source? Thanks in advance! - Chris

    [OT... I think] Vancouver, BC groups / stores

    As far as I can recall, they don't mark the price up... if they do, it's a lot less then other gaming stores... plus, when you make a purchase there, they usually give you a card for 10% off the next time you're in there, which helps....

    Losing My Name!

    <laugh> I actually DM the gentleman who has been using your "Chimera" handle.... apparently he's been going by the nickname for awhile, too (though, probably not as long as you).... He's a good guy, and he and his fiancee are two of the nicest people I've come to meet.... <smirk> not that...

    Assassin death strike at range?

    In Traps and Treachery, by Fantasy Flight games, they have a feat called Improved Ranged Sneak Attack that ups the range for Sneak Attacks from 30 to 45 feet. However, it mentions nothing of Death Attacks. As far as I know, Death Attacks must be made with a melee weapon, unless their is another...

    Weather generator

    In the Software forum, there is a program listed under the topic "Great Weather Generator"... Here's the link: www.milieusim.com/index.html It's pretty in depth, and takes a little to tweak, but when it's done, it gives some damn good detail, and also remains consistent to the weather from...

    Looking for a new character idea

    One type of character I've always wanted to try was that of a chaotic evil character who's beginning to reform... he still thinks killing kids is okay to shut them up, but knows that society frowns on that kind of thing.... This can only be tried if the group of players and the DM are ok with...

    Monster Manual 2

    I'm willing to bet a lot of the monsters left out from the 2nd Edition Monsters Manual will be in there, and very few original monsters.... I'm willing to bet the Banshee will definately be in there, seeing how the 9th level spell wail of the banshee is in the PHB, and it'd be nice to see the...

    [OT... I think] Vancouver, BC groups / stores

    I have to say that Imperial Hobbies and Games in Richmond is far the best gaming store around... it's a tough commute for me, living in Surrey (yes, I admit it), but is worth it everytime. Directions? You can find Imperial Hobbies and games on #3 Road, between Alderbridge Way and Westminster...
