    [Gen Con] RPGA events

    2 round events? Can anyone explain the 2-round RPGA Living Events in the checkout system? Example: LG Endgame is detailed as a 2-round event, but it shows only one title "Endgame" and shows a cost of $3 and 4 hours. Where's part 2? Same for Living Dragonstar "Vae Victus". And the D&D Open...

    [GenCon] "(more) Road Construction News!" (Scouting and Info Within)

    you can buy generic tickets anytime, excepting the lines at peak times of the day during the con, there's no real reason to buy them early. Generics are for those times when the "official" ticket to an event is sold out (or there aren't official tx) and you use them on a...

    Electronic Aids for Gaming Table

    Aluvial, I'd like to join in on the Sage content exchange if possible. I haven't added data yet, but I can definitely see myself adding data from various supplements (BOEM, FRCS, etc.) If there's a community for this tool we could share the love. SJ

    Electronic Aids for Gaming Table

    Whoa, Campaign Sage is really cool. I actually *do* like fiddling with computer programs, but the reason I haven't been bringing my laptop to the table is despite my practicing off-line, other DM tools just don't save me time or make my life easier. Combat mgmt is just hard to do, despite the...

    Whats your shortest lived character?

    this is really fun.... My very first D&D char, back in Basic days, was a dwarf named Gonad (hey, I was 13, sue me). The rest of the party had been playing for several months and invited me to join. The party finds the dwarf alone, hiding on the Isle of Dread (yeah, you remember it, don't lie)...

    Electronic Aids for Gaming Table

    Wow, Dagda. I would really like to hear other war stories about using a computer at the game table. I've thought several times about doing this, and d/l'ed DMFamiliar, DMGenie, RPM, ScreenMonkey, etc. But I never put them to the test in a real game. What are other GM's (and players!) likes and...

    map software - core rules

    I've got several maps I made with the old Core Rules 2.0 Map Maker utility, and I can't figure out how to get them into a different file format (they export as .xpt files). Does anyone know of a utility that could help me get them to .jpg or .bmp (besides doing a screen capture and piecing it...

    Campaign Suite Player's Edition

    See the TR boards under Tech Support, "tag wish list" and "export code...." (I'm SlappinJoe over there) and my requests on the yahoo list as well. The internal sheet isn't bad, I agree. It would be a nice to have if it exported to text instead of .jpg tho. But truly, those export tags are my...

    Campaign Suite Player's Edition

    There is one area of CS that I think has to improve for the CSPE to catch on (at least this is the feedback from my 3 game groups), and that's the ability to produce a halfway decent character sheet. The "internal" jpg one wastes alot of space, and the export tags for the text/html versions are...

    Important tip for "Dogface"

    Me neither, but I'll be pouncing on that puppy when it hits the mailbox. And all squads had the guy name "Tex" and a guy named "Mack".

    KoDT fans out there?

    KODT just rocks Best comic ever. I've gotten many people hooked on the comic, and made gamers out of several of them just by taking a light-sided look at the table. And episode 5 on hoodyhoo.com is a RIOT! Even my sig pays homage to the master! SJ

    Need a con within 6 hours of Little Rock

    d12, alsih20 has covered this, but let me echo the Midsouthcon in March in Memphis. We just had a smaller con, ShadowCon, last weekend, where gaming was enjoyed by many as well. I am also a member of a Memphis-area based gaming club (FORGE) that meets once a month (at least). We cover RPGA...

    disarm opponent w/ ranged weapon?

    thanks, Tacky, that helps. The key is the paragraph at the top of 150 that I conveniently overlooked. "object held has a Defense equal to the above + 5 + Dex + class bonus" How I missed that, I don't know. It still seems to be close to a toss-up (defense 17 vs. defense 15) for two 1st lvl fast...

    disarm opponent w/ ranged weapon?

    in reading p. 152 in the modern book, an attempt can be made to disarm an opponent who has a ranged weapon. The disarm attack is made against the weapon itself (ala DC 7), and the opponent can possibly get an AoO (ala DC 14 or whatever the disarmER has) to prevent the disarmer from taking his...

    [Poly] World War II Mini-Game

    Erik, this is bordering on cruel....Have you no shame? Great Asmodeus, man! What is IT?! Just kidding. :p Can't wait to see the change, though. New section? CD insert? Web site? Rear cover of unbroken text of 4 pt. type? Perforated pamphlet insert? Magic Mouth spell cast on page 8? SJ

    [Poly] World War II Mini-Game

    Maybe I'm easy, but I think it's great that Dungeon/Poly are in one book. I find the value of that combo much more than each individually. I don't readily see why people don't like the Dungeon material. I think it's great if you have time to write all your own quaility mods, but the ideas that...

    As promised D20 Modern GM's Screen

    hmmm, does anyone have an idea of some good art to put on the outside? I guess I could make a collage of images from the d20 modern website. But my artistic ability score is around 4. SJ
