Which I appreciate, a lot. But shouldn't that be somehow recorded in my settings somewhere?

Hi. This is very minor. Where, in my profile/settings can I see the status of my current paid subscription? I occasionally blank on the level I purchased during the kickstarter -- and naturally go scrambling around to figure it out and can never find it. The paid subscription page in my...

*Raises hand* Hi. I fit the category. GM'ing and playing for 20+ years. Of all the people I regularly game with (about 14 people), there is 1 other female GM/Player. I have met a handful of other female GM's online and at local gaming conventions. From that non-scientific count, I guess women...

Hi herrozerro. I'm in a game with a local who became a remote player. He connects to the game using skype. We use a computer with a camera positioned so he sees the GM and at least a portion of the table. The GM isn't into doing maps (never mind maps online), and occasionally we text the remote...

Another one for HarnMaster. I like the world and the game system. I'm always willing to learn a new set of rules, but HarnMaster the one I've reached for time and time again.

I'm with Gilladian on this one. I try to challenge the party; and they seem to enjoy it - but how do you know if you're a rat-bastard or not? I made the family of one PC force him to get married to a wife of their choice (it was not a love-match and benefited both families far more than the...

Hi Radiating Gnome, Hrm. I've never thought of putting why I GM into a statement. Here goes: Lets create a story together. I promise to create scenarios that will haunt you, bad guys that will challenge you, and detail a world that will intrigue you. And in return I ask only that you help me...

This news summary is what first brought me to enworld years back. I stay for other reasons, but I still read the summary regularly and I appreciate the work it must involve. While I try to follow the updates and information from my favourite gaming companies -- it's far too easy to miss an...

Windows XP and 8.

Hi glenrm, For me it's a PC. I have an android device and an older iTouch; but neither of them can handle HD. Out of curiosity, why are there no supporting levels between $10 and $100? Hope this helps.

I'd suggest going with HarnWorld. You can find older editions on ebay pretty cheap, but the new stuff (at 30$ a kingdom) are better in a lot of ways. And you only really need 1 kingdom in which to play. Alternatively, you can get the HarnWorld box set (new at $50; or 2nd edition as low as $14...

Gaming goodie: Some 60 legionnaires (including 12 knights/officers) have hunted down a red dragon and successfully bypassed or secured numerous traps and killed 5 wyverns, losing only a few horses and all their mules. At long last they enter a cave and come out into a cavern so vast its ceiling...

I use a PC. 1) Tiddlywiki. It holds almost all the campaign info I need, logs, etc. I use a variant from the basic version called Tiddly Tools. 2) System-specific character generator. It's for Harnmaster only. I also use Hero Lap (for a Mutants and Masterminds campaign) and have used PCGen in...

Currently reading Sword of Shame by the Medieval Murderers. It's a fascinating series of short stories that follows the ownership of a particular (and ill-fated) sword. The novel itself has 5 acts, a prologue and an epilogue (so 7 short stories) whose only common thread is the sword (slightly...

72) The maze is filled with numerous branching corridors, each of which dead-ends. At the base of each wall is a small mouse-hole that clearly leads into small rooms. These rooms lead into further branching corridors that, again, dead-end with mouse-hold containing walls. The dragon keeps a lot...

It depends on the players and what they want. If they don't want to deal with politics directly, an NPC steps forth as a benefactor/protector and they strike a deal. There are usually several NPCs to choose from to fill this position, all with their own motivators and desires. If they want to...

I'm OK with a category that only contains 1 monster; so while I chose the "All categories or nothing" option, I prefer a version of the categories with extras option. BTW - Multiple indicies are your friend. Having a list of : all monsters alphabetically, by category, and by alternate...

I use a laptop with a second screen. This allows me to show Maps, illustrations, and the like to the party without having to print them out. When we need to place characters on the map, I use MapTools to do so. On my side, I use a tiddlywiki for the campaign, and game-specific character and...

I don't do much public speaking as I avoid it when I can. Still, I'm told I'm good at it. And I found, if I'm prepared, I can actual enjoy some of it. I don't know if GM'ing helped my public speaking, but learning how to speak publicly has definitely helped my GM'ing. I find I'm more confident...
