    Pop-up ads?

    Thanks for posting this. I've been struggling with this for several weeks. I had found a few other sites that had listed similar methods of removal but none had worked. I had finally given up on chrome (the only browser I was having problems with) and had gone back to Firefox. On the page you...

    Pop-up ads?

    Quick update. Ok, it's definitely not your site. They are starting to appear now on messages on BoardGameGeeks forums for me as well now. No idea whats causing it though. I've ran both my virus scanner as well as Malwarebytes Anti-malware and both are coming up clean. Somethings definitely...

    Pop-up ads?

    A quick example is in this post: http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/327246-flgs-research.html All the ads are from a company called Text Enhance. On the first line the word "entrepreneur" brings up a popup ad about making money working at home. In the third paragraph the...

    Pop-up ads?

    Starting yesterday I'm getting them too. There are key words in most posts now that are underlined and when my mouse goes over the words, an add pops up. It's only happening in Chrome. When I check with Firefox and IE there are no ads. I've checked my extensions and I don't have odd or new...

    Kickstarter Too many Kickstarter projects? Is Kickstarter the new d20 glut?

    I've backed 32 projects so far and I'm happy to say other than one ones still running or recently ended, all but 1 has delivered. Of the one that hasn't delivered yet (it closed a year ago in June.) they are still updating fairly regularly and still promising product. All in all, I've been...

    Sci-Fi System Recommendations

    Thanks for all the suggestions. There is more out there to choose from than I realized. One question for TreChriron. I couldn't find anything on Dust. Anyone have a link to that? Still haven't made a decision yet. Haven't even had a chance to get through all the suggestions. Really...

    Sci-Fi System Recommendations

    So from what I can tell, these would be the 4 books I would need to run the game? The D6 System: The Customizable Roleplaying Game (1996) D6 Space D6 Space: Aliens I D6 Space: Ships Thanks for the link.

    Sci-Fi System Recommendations

    Not sure if this was a serious suggestion or not. I googled it and there were tons of links to reviews and posts about it being one of the worst things ever printed. Is it actually worth taking a look at?

    Pirate ship... terrain for RPG games...

    Thanks for the idea. One suggestion for the video though. The dog barking in the background almost drove me crazy.

    Sci-Fi System Recommendations

    I've been GM'ing since the late 70's and have run many systems, so I feel fairly confident that I can run most any system. My primary requirement (other than it being fun for everyone of course) is that it needs to be easy to play in a PBEM game and it needs to be fairly easy for my players to...

    Sci-Fi System Recommendations

    Thanks for the suggestions. As to Savage Worlds, I have the core book and my group played for a while in a Zombie Apocalypse setting (War of the Dead) for some reason the system never really clicked for us. I never really found anything "wrong" with it it just didn't work for us. I have...

    Which D&D edition do you *really* prefer?

    I recently finished running a weekly 2nd edition campaign that started up in 2005 so hands down I will go with 2nd Edition. Although we only played with the core three books, DMG, PHB and the Monstrous Manual. We had a few house rules thrown in but for the most part it was core. That said...

    Sci-Fi System Recommendations

    Hey all. I’m thinking about starting up a sci-fi PBEM game and was wondering if I could get some recommendations as to a good system to use. Because it’s going to be predominantly through email combat needs to be fairly easy and quick. I don’t want a round of combat to take days to resolve...

    AD&D Commemorative Core 3: I Haz 'Em!

    Anyone know if you are going to be able to get these online? I, unfortunately, don't have a FLGS within a reasonable driving distance.

    Skyping In

    Our group over the course of several years spread out all over the U.S. It started with one person but now encompasses our entire group. We are spread out from the east coast to the west coast and several points in-between (there are currently 5 in our group). We have been using a combination...

    Advantage/Disadvantage Impressions

    In theory I like it. My big concern is going to be are players going to spend all their time trying anything under the sun to get advantage. If the rules are such that it doesn't become something the players expect to get regularly but is more of a "WOOT! I have advantage this round!" type of...

    Convincing 4th Edition players to consider 5th Edition

    So if I take a rusted out 1968 Volkswagon Bug and make a nice fancy sign that says "2012 Porsche 911" does that make it so? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on what 3rd, 4th, or any other edition is. Just because you don't agree with their opinions doesn't make theirs and less valid...

    Convincing 4th Edition players to consider 5th Edition

    I'll have to let the scholar in our 4th edition campaign with little to no combat skills know he's playing the game wrong and make sure he knows that he's ruining the game for the rest of us. Glad you let us know we weren't having fun with him in our group, we all foolishly thought he was an...

    Convincing 4th Edition players to consider 5th Edition

    Actually, I AM a 4th edition player and have been playing in two weekly 4th edition campaigns for over 2 and 1/2 years now. (Well actually one just ended and we've replaced it with Dark Heresy but that was just a bit over a month ago).

    Convincing 4th Edition players to consider 5th Edition

    I know it's been said a few times already, but I disagree with pretty much everything the OP wrote. All the things he says need to be in 5E are all the things that would make me not want to play it. This I also think is going to be the designers biggest challenge. How to you make people who...
