This is great news. I don't have time to paint minis anymore, and I refuse to get on the random assortment treadmill. I also love Reaper minis and hope the plastic ones are compatible in size and style. Yaahhhhh!

:eek:

It's different for each family. Our beautiful daughter didn't start sleeping through the night until 19 months. Until then, I was lucky if I got a shower once a day, let alone time to play a game. Even now that my spouse and I are well-rested, we only play once every two weeks, for a couple of...

I just had a chuckle re-reading this stuff. It spawned another thread, archived here, in which several enworlders attempted to write a carlsmithian module from scratch. Some funny bits there, too.

My own Northern Crown has rules for Baroque-era inventions, like oar-powered submarines, flying machines, rapid-fire muzzle loaders, and so on. And what about Iron Kingdoms?

I've really enjoyed reading everyone's vision for 4e on this thread, and checking it against my own: 1. Make the classes into the strong archetypes they're supposed to be, each playing a unique role in the party. A party of specialist adventurers working together to survive is the core story of...

Actually, we're looking for DMs; we seem to have plenty of people who want to play. My game runs on Friday nights, and we're cool with onlookers/spectators. Check my sig for more info.

I only recently started a virtual tabletop campaign, and I really love it. I use modular tiles, 3-D "minis" for the NPCs and monsters, and I'm constantly adding bells and whistles. I love being able to copy and paste the chat history at the end of each session to maintain a chronicle of the...

Gary, my dad had shingles when he was about your age -- it got in his eye, too, very painful. Do EXACTLY what your physician tells you, and take care of youself physically, and you'll be fine, I'm sure. Hang in there!

Pandemonium Books and Games It's in Central Square, Cambridge. Books upstairs, huge basement with gaming books and gaming tables.

I have two things to say: 1. "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." 2. Tekumel. I have no problem with it. My current campaign takes place on another planet in the far future, with the humans a struggling remnant of a lost colony. They're marooned there with...

My thoughts exactly. For over-forties like me, especially with kids, carving out some time to have a game is tough -- we manage it about once every two weeks, for about three hours. That's just not enough for me. For me, the "magical means" you speak of turns out to be the online environment...

1977, at a gaming con in Bath, Maine (MaineCon 77, I still have the badge). I was in 7th grade. Came to play traditional wargames (which were HUGELY popular then), and my friend David told me I might like this new game called Dungeons and Dragons. A sailor from the nearby shipyard was running a...

Blue Box Set, the one with the wizard and fighter going up against the red dragon. Why? it was my introduction to the game, back in '77.

I say, Not so Bad. They are jacks-of-all-trades: decent attack bonus, decent spellcasting, decent hit points, lots of skill points. Definitely don't suck, but take some finesse to play to their full potential. I could see how they might be unsatisfying to play for a player who needs his PC to be...

Two Dwarven Forge sets: Medieval Building Set Den of Evil Wicked Additions Set

Wow, chat is essential for me. When we finish a session, I copy the entire chat history and save it to a notecard -- as my brain slides into middle age, it's handy to have a record of exactly what happened last time.

A WotC virtual tabletop would have to have all the bells and whistles to beat the options already out there. Here's one option not yet mentioned on this thread: For the past few months, I've been working on running d20 games in the metaverse of Second Life. I'm pleased to say we've now started...

Yes, but before you judge... ...we play in the metaverse of Second Life , where it's not unusual to see people dressed up as, well, anything.

I agree! The short answer is, when someone else gets around to writing it. That would be a huge task, and now that I'm a dad, I don't have the large blocks of free time that I had when I wrote and illustrated Northern Crown. Although I doubt Atlas Games would be interested in publishing a...
