    Coolest. Gaming Set-up. Evar.

    I used to think that too... but then I take a look at some art in Dungeon or Dragon, or my buddy's miniature collection and get inspired by how cool they look. Imagination is an integral part of D&D, but you shouldn't discount the impact of stunning visuals on the game. I'm waiting for my...

    Recommend a RPG PDA

    The Dell Axim X50v supports true 640x480 resolution. You can switch between portrait and landscape mode. A buddy of mine has one and it looks sweet. Only problem is the text looks small because of the high res and small screen. But its very crisp and packs more info on the screen than I'm...

    Steve Jackson Games 2005 report

    Agreed. He deserves props for giving us a peek behind the curtain. It's interesting information. I don't know any other privately-held RPG company doing this. I've been a big fan of SJG since Car Wars. Thanks guys.

    Tablet PCs

    Doesn't it have programmable buttons? You might be able to program Page up/Down on 2 of them to solve the problem. The fujitsu has dedicated Up/Down buttons but not a wheel and it works fine.

    Hotmail acting up?

    I've been having problems the whole past week. I'd send an email and get a "page not found" error. I could go back and hit send again and do this multiple times before it worked. As far as I know my email was delivered (most of them I send to home or work). I received an email from microsoft...

    [Help!] Buying a new Desktop

    I've built my last 5 computers. I'll probably buy my next one from Dell. Why? Because if I get one on sale its really hard to justify the few dollars I'd save when compared to the time/hassle spent building one. No fuss and a warranty to boot. I bought my dad a Dell and it got hit by...

    Latest Wizards Cover Botch

    Little off topic but I wanted to thank you for that link! This has given me a ton of ideas for this week's adventure and helped me add more detail to the port city the PCs are about too reach. I've already decided that my version of Old Sow sometimes reaches the sea floor where an ancient...

    Help finding a downloaded file on my computer

    It might have ended up in whatever temp directory Firefox uses when you open/view files. You can try the advanced search features of Windows Search to locate it. Open windows explorer. Go to C: and right click and select "Search..." Put "Arhs-WC_LandsConflict.pdf" in the file name textbox or...

    Woo Hoo!

    Your user manual should have the IP address of your router. You can browse directly to the router thru a web browser (i.e. IE) by typing in the IP address in the address bar (192.168.0.1 for example). If you don't know the IP address, you can find it by opening a command prompt and typing...

    Woo Hoo!

    Your user manual should have all the relevant info on securing your wireless connection. However, be aware that if you choose not to broadcast your SSID, some weird things could happen. As reanjr said, limiting by MAC address is probably the best the way to go. Check this article if you...

    Tablet PCs

    Check out Ambient Design's ArtRage app. It won microsoft's tablet pc app contest and is available for free. It's a cool app because it supports pressure sensitivity and multiple brush/pen/pencil types, has a simple interface, and it's free. ;) http://www.ambientdesign.com/

    Tablet PCs

    Sorry to hear about the delay! I had to wait 2 weeks for mine and that drove me nuts. My tablet came with a couple of screen protectors in the box. I beleive they're also available from third parties... I've read about it but never followed up because I don't need to buy any (yet). I agree...

    Tablet PCs

    I have a screen protector on mine. It changes the "feel" a little, gives it a little more resistance. It feels good and natural. I've scanned my books into PDFs and read them in bed. I open OneNote and jot down campaign ideas at the same time. I wonder if PDFs will become more popular as...

    Tablet PCs

    You're welcome! This might not be possible, but I'd recommend getting your hands on that model and seeing how it feels. (Or maybe another laptop with a 14" screen of comparable weight.) My Fujitsu is light, but sometimes I wish it was even more portable, like a slate. That 14" screen is...

    Tablet PCs

    I bought one in December. I absolutely love it. I have a Fujitsu T4010D convertible. http://webshop.fujitsupc.com/fpc/Ecommerce/buildseriesbean.do?series=T4D&ptype=TB I picked this after a lot of research. In a nutshell, I went with it because it's light, has a wide-angle viewable screen, a...

    The Battle for Middle-earth

    Ok, I played it more and it's grown on me. Once you get a horde of cavalry on the map, the little details are lost in the chaos of battle, but the clashing units still look cool. Weapon/armor upgrades make the units look pretty. Hero abilities/powers recharge pretty fast so you usually have a...

    Ho Ho Ho...another Character Contest on the way

    Can we get a link to last year's winner? I missed it... Thanks in advance. :-)

    The Battle for Middle-earth

    I wanted to like this game too. You can tell it has high production values and very well polished from the menus and battlemap, but the gameplay isn't really "wowing" me at the moment. The load times are long. The animations I've seen so far when zooming in on a battle don't seem as precise...

    Halo 2 versus Half Life 2

    I don't have an X-Box, so I can't comment on Halo 2. I played the Halo 1 demo and wasn't impressed, though I admit having a bit of a negative bias because I had to wait over a year for it to be ported to the PC. The graphics weren't that great and nothing seemed to stand out to justify the...
