If I'm not mistaken, they have plans for a Mac version as well. Maybe you should just contact them and tell them, that you like their idea, but don't have a PC. As I said - they really listen to their customers needs and ideas.

Folks, I had the rare opportunity to meet with the guy called "Anurien" and get some first-hand sneak-preview of the RPG Xplorer. I must really say, that I'm impressed with it. I never saw a programme as powerful and easy to use. Even though the final release won't come out before the end of...

I also read a lot. Even though I'm from Germany, I read most of the books in the original version (e.g. in english). I love to read epic fantasy, but also enjoy other stuff like Tom Clancy, Stephen King, etc. Currently I'm reading the "Return of the Archwizards"-Series from Troy Denning (WotC).

I've DMed for years now and so far I had each class in one of my campaign at least once - however, I always find it difficult to find players who really want to play a Cleric. Some do, but usually they only play the cleric because they feel the need for the party and most of the time, the...

Usually I do my maps with programmes like CCPro2 und Dundjinni. Those programmes offer the possibility to hide information on the player-print out. So I give my players a regional map as soon as they enter a new region, however they have to find the secret places on that map themselves. I also...

If you're creating a rather small page, yahoo-geocities will work fine. I have my account there as well. The free web-space is sufficient if you're don't use too many pics. You'll have to live with the advertisement, though, if you don't want to pay for the webspace. I didn't experience too...

Since I'm a DM for over 10 years now, I had to deal with power gamers as well. So here's my view on this: First of all, never forget the main rule of the game. Everything may be possible in the game, as long as the DM goes along with it. I'm no friend of too much restriction since it can kill a...

Since I'm a DM who like having freedom of creativity I avoid running long campaigns in places everyone knows a lot about. Most of my players appreciate it a lot, since that way none of them has some kind of "advantage". Of course, all of them know how to seperate player knowledge from character...

I don't know the Monsternomicon but after reading all the praise in this thread, I'll consider to have a look at it when I get a chance to. In the meanwhile, I'd suggest to have a look at the BOOK OF FIENDS (Green Ronin), FIEND FOLIO (WotC), the TOME OF HORROR 1+2 (Necromancer) or DENIZENS OF...

I'm DMing in agroup consisting of 6 players aging from 25 - 32 right now. As soon as I was over 20 years of age I thought it would be difficult to find players for the game, especially since we always tried to play at a high level and were no friends of hack-and-slay gaming. However, it turned...
