    My car... grrrrrr!

    How sticky are the regulations for repairs? Do you need to have a mechanic do the repair, or can you do it yourself? If allowable, what I would do, is bypass the wiring loom temporarily, create a seperate circuit for the light with a manual toggle switch. If you can do it yourself then you...

    Explain Canada

    Until you live on the prairies (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta) you do not truly appreciate that the actual temp has only a small bearing on comfort level. It is the wind that matters. Even at -10 C, with a 60 kph wind, it is cold...real cold.

    Explain Canada

    Within the rest of Canada there is a widely held suspicion that those who live in Toronto believe that Toronto is the Business/Cultural/Religious/Ethnic Center of Canada, therefore it is the only place of importance in Canada. While at a purely rational point of view, most will agree that this...

    What's the best trap you've ever unleashed upon your players?

    Not really a trap, or at least designed to be a trap. Party finds a locked stone door. They open it and find a prison cell beyond with a human prisoner. The party, the WHOLE party, moves into the cell to check out the prisoner, and the door slams shut behind them. At this point they realize...

    So, how do you keep employees from ripping you off?

    Make sure to accept debit and credit cards. Sure they cost some, but the remove the problem of the money being accessible from the till. Around here most people use debit cards instead of cash, and I know of some stores that rarely have actual cash transactions.

    Running Mass Combat

    I briefly looked at the Black company mass combat rules and one of the things I liked was the 'Advantage' mechanism. This was over and above the initiative mechanism. Initiative is a function of reaction/action. Advantage is a function of exploitation of those actions/reactions. A unit can...

    Winnipeg Gamers

    Every Spring and some Fall's, my group head out on a joint Fishing and Gaming weekend. Fish all day and game all night :D forget sleep :confused: I have always thought it would be a good idea to expand this into a much larger group and rent a lodge or something, and then invite 'guest' DM's...

    Canada... where to move?

    We also are the Slurpy Capital of the World for as long as they have held that contest. If you don't mind my asking, what part of the city are you from?

    Napoleonics RPG/Setting/Campaign etc.?

    Thanks, I'll have to look into those books. Of course I still need to find some other players, but I think the concept would be a lot of fun.

    Napoleonics RPG/Setting/Campaign etc.?

    I've been reading Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series and thought that it would be kind of neat to run/play in a campaign based on that era. Has anyone done this, or seen appropriate resources for it?

    [Black Company] Character creation & alchemy

    I've got the book, but haven't had much time to read it yet. Looks good so far. Do you have any other Malazan conversions ;)

    Sleeping and silenced rogue, ouch...

    Just curious, but what about other senses other than sight and hearing? What about touch, ie. vibrations as the character clambers up into the nest? Not exactly tremor sense which is quite powerful, but even if they are moving carefully and invisible it doesn't mean that the nest doesn't move...

    Help me defend a pass. (My players go away!)

    A 1/4 mile is a lot of ground for 50 orcs to defend. I would have those orcs set up spotters at the mouth of the pass, and when someone approaches determine if they can stop them. Have them set up ambushes, from cover. If the party is not prepared, 50 orcs should be a big obstacle. If you want...

    Item to hide identity?

    ONe of the characters in my campaign has an amulet that prevents scrying. It also has some hidden 'features' and is capable of defending itself from identification and such. When subject to any type of identifying magic, it triggers an antimagic zone around itself. The character not knowing...
