I have kept that in mind, but thanks for mentioning it. This young lad is very bright and I don't underestimate his creativity or capability. I just know that it can be frustating and intimidating to run a game cold and I wanted to give him as much ammo to do the job as well as he can as...

Who publishes Orkfest? What makes it good for the first time DM?

A good friend of mine has a 13 year old son who is interested in D&D. This young pre-gamer wants to invite some of his friends to play and will be forced to DM without the benefit of having played a game himself, let alone experince to take on the daunting task of running a game for other new...

The D&D Meetup in Lexington, KY has been very succesful. Our organizer has worked very hard over the past few years to hold a number of events. My current regular game is a result of D&D Meetup. Good luck in your endevours. It took a little while to build a group of a decent size here, but it...

If there is still a spot available for Thursday afternoon, 1 to 5 PM, I'd like to play.

Bad. Really bad. Hours of standing in line. And that's if the computers don't :):):):):)e-the-bed.

I usually start with a fairly concrete idea for character build through the first 5 levels. When my young adventurer enters the campaign he has specific goals and life plans that he wants to accomplish. But at each level increase I look back at what skills he's used the most, what kind of...

For conventions and when I'm running a game I use a Zuca. I originally got it for carting around 50 lbs of nursing texts, but it works great for my gaming books.

I've been reading up on Burning Wheel . I like what I've read so far. Your character gets better with practice and succesfully accomplishing difficult tasks, instead of just accumulating XP and "pop" you're better at everything. You can check out a review here.

I nominate Paradigm Concepts, Inc. the publishers of Arcanis: World of Shattered Empires and the newly released Witch Hunter, soon to be seen at a major con in your neighborhood. Respectfully, Edward Kopp: Arcaniac at Large

I was in the US Navy from 87-93. I've played at almost every command I was stationed except boot camp. I've played at on-base rec centers, under a 5" gun mount two decks down in the magazine (surrounded by HE, BMP and WP rounds) while under way, the gun locker where all the small arms were...

That's an understatement! I know more than some (less than others), and I care more than most. edward kopp

Henry Lopez, Prez of PCI has announced their summer offerings on the LA Talk list on Yahoo! If you've wanted to check out Arcanis but were afraid because it has such a compelling and involved plot that you felt over whelmed, now you can go back to the very beginning with the Year One adventure...

Those are the Voiceless Ones. The preeminant threat to the world of Onara and all life living above the Lavender Way. Henry, Is there any chance you can post the Table of Contents like was posted on LA Talk? Respectfully, Edward Kopp: Araniac at Large

My homebrew is set on Earth before the first of the three Great Floods that announce the end of the last Ice Age. I got most of my inspiration from Graham Hancock's book, "Underworld." The setting is actaully designed to be played in three different eras, each taking place shortly before one of...

I voted other. In the world of Arcanis gnomes are the twisted, malformed get of dwarves (cursed celestial giants) and humans. They are the bottom rung of society, no homeland, mistrusted by all and forced to live in ghettos when allowed to stay in a civilized lands. Edward Kopp: Arcaniac at Large

A couple of questions then. Why is it by invitation only? If you want to maximize the amount of money brought in to donate to Shriners then you should be auctioning off a few of those seats at the table as well as ALL of the spectators seats. I'd reserve one seat at the table and half the seats...

Oodles and oodles... If nothing else, they would make great toys for my nephew. I played with green army men for a very long time and would have loved to have a bunch of orcs and skeletons to fight them in an Army of Darkness kind imaginary battles. ed kopp-

I just call them like I see them. I've been very happy with all my dealings and purchases from XRP and in any correspondence with you. I bought your monster builder book when you needed to raise some quick funds due to a health scare. I've yet to regret a single purchase I've made of your...

It's germane in regards to my obsessive need to know things. *grin* I wouldn't be a self proclaimed Arcanic if ALL things Arcanis related weren't important to me. Then the first edition is now a collectors item?!? *grin* Excellent on both accounts. I wanted to see the illos of the races more...
