Steel Wind, Boy, this is becoming an obession! OK, what do you think about a BenQ PB6240? I'd probably use it zoomed (looks like I can get a 28" by 37" image at half zoom), which would work well enough with a whiteboard background for any characters that skitter off the image during a fight...

Thanks again! I've been experimenting with projectorcentral most of the day and coming up with about the same conclusions: to really go with this solution, I need to seriously lower my goals/expectations in regard to the size of the image. There's definitely a lot to consider & thanks again...

Sorry to double post - it looks like with the 5' 6" from projector lens to table I have to work with, the projectors generate very similiar sized images (from 24" by 32" with the Opotima EP719 to 27" by 36" with the Mitsubishi XO11U). You mentioned a "short throw lens unit" is the way to go -...

Steel Wind, thanks for the quick and detailed reply! I actually have about 6' 6" (or a bit more) from table surface to ceiling but with the mounting surface (actually mounting a boom type set-up off the top of my kitchen cabinets, which are extended height like the ceilings), I should get a 5'...

OK, I'm officially overwhelmed! :( I did a little figuring with how I could mount a projector and not turn my dining room into a permanent gaming zone (and figured it out - huzzah!), but I only have a throw of 5' 6" to work with. My gaming table is 34" x 60" (but I have been looking at a...

::drool:: Steel_Wind, just a lurker dropping in to say thanks for answering all the questions. Same to everyone else participating and adding their pictures. I'm mulling over the possibilities for our gaming group and have found this thread to be an incredible resource. :)

We're kicking that idea around for my gaming group as well - does anyone have a link(s) for one of these that works well? (Thanks in advance!)

Great news! Definitely thought Vala was a breath of fresh air to the series this season (kept me watching the show when the conflict with the Priors caused me to yawn and check my watch, waiting for BSG to start). :)

I read the first book in the series and was intrigued by the concept: I'd like to see how the PrC turns out. :)

One of my players went the Forsaker/Monk route and that was the situation we encountered a couple of times. Once the character was told where the boundary of a teleportation circle was, but the wizard lied (the real boundary was further out). Another time the character was turned to stone...

Thought it was a great article & would definitely allow it in future games. I enjoy wizards but don't care for the traditional familiars, both for often being either useless or a liability to the wizard (damn area of effect spells!), but also because...well...I personally just find them kinda...

Edena, interesting posts & interesting responses. I definitely agree with Umbran's post (creativity unchanneled doesn't make for a enjoyable evening of gaming for most groups). I don't think there is a magical something to help the hobby & in a sense, I don't think the hobby or the rules (such...

Investigate why they are so hesitant to sell the party goods: this sounds like the begining of an interesting adventure that could really go in a dozen different directions.

I've run this kind of plot before and rather than penalize the characters with mechanic changes to their character (which if the character is a part of an ongoing adventure, can create all sorts of issues with balance, survivability, and the player still having fun), I provided the PC a note...

Fantastic show, amazing dialogue (and profanity). Any word on the Season 2 DVDs release date?

What did your players say to this idea? Did you bounced it by them before hand? The whole making them start all new characters just to keep things fresh doesn't necessarily sound fun, but I don't know your group. Are they bored? Do they want to keep playing their 10th or 11th level PCs? I...

One thing I've found as a DM and player is "the pronoun problem" - that is, at least for me, the more names of things I run across, the harder it is to get it all straight - this king, that country, that race that died out 2,000 years ago...zzzzz. I try to usually keep focused on just a couple...

I have two online for different settings (www.falconmoor.com and www.the6elements.com) that might be of help. The first is primarily for flavor of the setting, the second includes considerable house rules as well. My players consider them successful; perhaps you can find them of use as well. :)

Nice set-up! I use hand draw maps on large rolls of graph paper for battlemats. I've found that using them does encourage a tactical aspect of the game, although it hasn't overshadowed the role-playing by a longshot and my players appreciate the mix. I personally like the visual...

In my Falconmoor campaign, the party was searching for a particular kind of plant needed to create a cure for a disease. A helpful NPC pointed the party to an ogre village which had supplied the plant in the past, but was no longer willing to do so. The party went there to get it one way or...
