    Word Processor or Legal Pad?

    My handwriting is absolutely horrible. Always has been. In fact, I don't even write (cursive); I print. It still stinks. Maybe it's the way I hold a writing implement, but after a few minutes of writing, my hand begins to hurt badly. So a computer is the way to go. Most of what I do, I do in...

    D&D possible cause in Murder case again.

    In all fairness, when he killed those people he had on a white wig, black face paint and was dual-wielding scimitars. Draw your own conclusions. When I have dark thoughts, I simply ask the tiefling that lives in my mailbox for advice and everything usually turns out OK. It's when he refuses to...

    What's the best you've ever gotten for your buck in gaming products?

    Hehe. Well, around the same time the boxed set was open for preorder, someone on this board posted about a deal where if you test drive a VW, you get a free $50 gift certificate for Amazon. Amazon stuff is usually discounted anyway, plus the preorder discount, plus free shipping due to the order...

    Coolest. Gaming Set-up. Evar.

    That setup is sick and insane; I love it. Man if I had unlimited cash flow... or any cash flow.

    What's the best you've ever gotten for your buck in gaming products?

    Well, I got the 3.5 core rulebooks boxed set for $3.97 US (new, shrink-wrapped, mint, etc.)... Even though I haven't gotten to play much since then, it's kind of hard to deny that kind of a bargain.

    d20 Past art gallery up...

    Coal powered nazis and chick armor, maybe? Who decided that women dressed in gestapo outfits were sexy? I'm not saying they aren't, I'm just asking when this happened? :D I think the art looks pretty good; especially Kalman's because he kicks quite a lot of ass. I'm adopting a wait-and-see...

    I got a PM?!

    I also got a PM (never had one of those before) and I can't get it. I click the link and end up at a page that says: Maybe it's firefox...

    Need Help - Elven Funeral Ceremony

    I'm with the fertilizer crowd; especially since the sister is a druid. Since the body is mutilated I would imagine the remains would be places on a bier of fallen branches and covered with a cloth. The proper prayers would be made to whichever elven gods are appropriate and then the body would...

    Homebrew World Preparation

    One problem I've had with my campaign world; working sequentially. I've got the outline for the story arc and that's great, but I always seem to come up with more material for things that won't happen for another 20 sessions. Once you've plotted the major arc from A to Z, concentrate on points...

    Location Idea Resource Thanks for helping revive the thread, by the way. :D

    Star Wars d6 -- wild die?

    Yeah, I wasn't paying much attention to the wording at that hour. :D It was not an "extra die", you just designated one of your pool as the wild die. It basically makes it so that no matter how low-level or bad you are at something, you always have a decent chance at heroic success. On the...

    Star Wars d6 -- wild die?

    That looks about right to me. The very first time I played, the very first thing I rolled for was to crawl through a small stream that was running underneath a shock-fence. The ditch the stream made was the only place the fence could be bypassed without going over it (which couldn't be done...

    Miniatures - Where do you buy yours?

    Discount Hobby. The more minis you order the better the savings get, quite frankly. I recently ordered a ton of Reaper minis from them. A week or so later I still hadn't gotten a shipping notice from them so I sent them an e-mail to let them know. Apparently they thought they had shipped the...

    So who is planning a "halloweeny" session?

    I might run D20 Modern's Trouble at Black Rock as a one-shot. Although, I have taken the time to develop it into the opening session of a campaign as well.

    Elvish chain is beautiful.

    Yes, it's an excellent illustration. I've always liked it. Use your imagination, maybe there are buckles in the back. After all, that's why you need help donning armor. Well, it doesn't take any imagination to know you're right about that. :D EDIT: Interesting Gez, very interesting.

    [Oct] What's up in your campaign?

    My homebrew world's storyline is getting beaten into a new shape. :\ All but two of the PCs have left for college (or in the case of one player, moved to DC to teach). Since the story was custom made for the PCs I have to try and explain why the PCs are leaving the group, and why the new ones...

    Help Me ReWrite Post-1910 History

    Regardless of how WWI turns out, Hitler can still rise to power. As a young man he learns a few spells, but can't really manage much in the way of real power. He uses his only assets, his charisma and his limited magical knowledge to mentally dominate certain important governmental figures. By...

    It lives! It lives still! Okay, I think I finally have something for this, you feline rapscallion. The Squirming Pool Travelogue of Adis Aizarian Village of Leesmere: Got confirmation that the ruins we were looking for exist. Should lie three days West of here. A local hedge-wizard insisted...

    Have previous DMs influenced your DMing style?

    I was influenced, but in more of a "what not to do" sort of way. A previous DM of mine ran the campaign by the seat of his pants. His game had almost no narrative or structure whatsoever. Until in one session where he absolutely wanted a particular outcome and thus, railroaded my PC... I feel...
