Hello, fellow South Bay'er! Hello Tom, Just sent you an e-mail. Hope to hear soon. Thanks. :lol:

Looking for friendly, reliable, and experienced GM for existing group that meets in Gardena and Carson. Strong preference toward Eberron, Star Wars, or Mutants and Masterminds GM, but I think we can be convinced to try most settings/systems. We meet on Saturdays (and occasional Sunday) about 3...

thanks for the $0.02! Yep, you're right, a detect magic won't do that, but a spellcraft check with DC 20 + spell level can identify a spell that is already in place provided you can see or detect the effects. I don't reveal what the bonuses are until the item is used, and I'm usually pretty...

The ability to determine a magic item/effect's school of origin, and general effect(s) via a magical aura and spellcraft check, can get too time consuming for my tastes. Not to be nit-picky but I feel it removes a lot of the mystery and wonder of magic, as veteran players can usually make a...

Hi guys, Thanks for the replies. Definitely interested in hearing more, but I'm only available to play on Thursdays. And possibly only every other week at that. If you're looking to do some Playing we have some weekend games with spots available. Let me know and maybe we can work something...

I have a Mac G4 with Final Cut Pro for high end video editing and I don't think I would go back to editing on a PC as it was often a difficult time. So while PC's may be getting better in this area, it has been my experience that Mac's are better for this type of operation. If you are mostly...

It depends what you are going to be using it for. If you are primarily doing things like video editing or using Photoshop or Illustrator then the Mac's great for that, but if you are going to be playing videogames then a PC's probably the way to go. :cool:

Everything but the polka music applies :D While I appreciate the suggestions and the whole "freedom to game" spirit, I didn't want this to turn into a column on how to deal with my neighbors (perhaps another thread?) I think I made that seem like a bigger problem than it actually is. I just...

My neighbors are just overly cautious from a previous incident that I won't go into (maybe in the story hour!), but for the most part, things have been resolved with them, dealing with the kids can be a pain but I have talked to the parents about them, some help some don't. All the...

Thanks for the great advice everyone! I'll follow up on the tips. More suggestions are always welcome. Thanks again.

Hey all I'm in the process of forming a new group, and I'm a bit wary of inviting strangers to my home, and I don't really live in a gaming friendly neighborhood. My senior citizen neighbors have called the cops about unfamiliar vehicles on the block, and pesky neighborhood kids have been known...

I've taken a page from several other posters on this site to see who's out there in the seemingly gamer scarce area, the South Bay. This is the approximate 10-12 mile square south of Los Angeles, the corners of which are El Segundo, Downey, Long Beach, and Palos Verdes. If you're somewhere in or...

Greetings, I’m looking to merge my current group with 2-3 dedicated players in the area. I have a roster of 3 solid players, problem is they can never get together at the same time, so we’re often canceling games. I’m looking to run a Midnight campaign (though I have several other d20 games...
