[FONT=Verdana] Second that for more "good" GMs at conventions. Not sure how that could be handled, since "good" is so subjective. But I played in ~10 games at GenCon last year, and frankly, only one was fun (for me). I don't mean to come across as a jerk, maybe others were having more fun than...

I've also known people who drank the weekend away and lost their job as a result. The issue isn't the activity, often it is that there is another underlying issue that is driving them away from their responsibilities.

Another easy system for dice, if you only have sticks of some kind (like tookpicks, twigs, matchsticks, etc. - not sure if prisoners would have these but maybe you'll get lost hiking sometime in the woods and all you wanna do is play D&D :-) you could take your 20 twigs and mark one end of each...

Another easy system for dice if they had only paper or even cloth, they could cut up little pieces like chits - just 1 cm squares. Keep one side of each chit clean and put a smudge on the other side essentially making a heads and tails. To roll a d20, toss 20 of them into the air and count the...

Awesome!

You got it! Check out DTiles! :lol:

Oh man, I can't get enough of those!

When I worked on the Mythica team a few years back we had an office 2E game to get our heads around the viewpoint of Norse gods... neat times!

Thanks for checking it out, Thanee! Screenshots - yes - great suggestion. I'll get some up tonight.
