On the thread of what we need... There's discussion about bringing food. What sort of food should we bring? Actual meal items, or snacky bits? I'll be hauling these things the entire length of the Red Line, plus a bit, so I need to plan in advance (plus...totally forgot that it's outage...

The floor is just the largest shelf in the house

I have a fist-size D20 sitting on my desk at work, and I periodically get gaming materials delivered to the office. It'd also be hard to hide the shelves of gaming books from my wife... I also work at a Linux-based software company. I am far from the geekiest. Heck, I work with the guy that...

The group I play with online is oh so very slow...I think we're probably 9 hours into a 9 room dungeon that isn't really all that complicated. Still a couple rooms left. We're working on it. Partially it's a rules thing, we've bounced between rulesets a lot, though we are now settling on a...

Bonus - it looks like the Red Line actually runs that early on a Saturday morning, so I only have to haul myself to Alewife and then zone out on the T until it stops at the other side of the city. Huzzah!

If it's not full, piratecat's early and walkingcorpse's later eta: stupid phone doesn't believe "piratecat" is a word.

It depends on the nature of the "oh crap" encounter. Was there a good way for the PCs to get themselves out of trouble? I don't think a no-win situation is any fun (unless it's a plot element). I do agree that the GM probably should have done something to even up the odds, rather than just...

Out of curiousity, what time does the first round o' gaming begin?

I use sticky notes to mark important pages. I'll also put subtle marks in the corners inside the cover to indicate that the book is mine, particularly when I know there will be multiple of that book where I'm playing.

No need to be sorry, that's good news :)

Is that a 5 minute walk, or a 5 minute drive?

It might be more cost effective to stay downtown, it seems, anyway, between a car rental and parking fees. Guess we'll look into it, thanks for the tips

A taxi is probably pretty pricey, might be better off with a rental. Is there ample parking near the venue?

Apologies if this belongs in a different forum. My friend and I will be attending GenCon Indy for the first time, this summer. We're trying to cut down on costs, so we'll be staying a little further from the convention center, probably towards the airport. How is public transportation in...

A DM screen is pretty useful for fudging^W hiding rolls from your players, as well as your notes. Basically, your mission as a GM is to make sure that everyone at the table is having fun. When I actually had a group that I played regularly with at a table, my "tools" were generally my books, a...

Being a long haired male, I DID once put my hair up in a topknot while playing a kender...

Extinct ;) If not possible, I'll go for the Tolkein-ish slightly-otherworldly, haughty types. Silvanesti-esque, perhaps.

Is anyone else reading this thread as a shopping list?

A smattering...Holmes Basic, B/X, BECMI, 2e MM and DMG, 2eR PHB, 3e PHB, 3.5e PHB DMG MM, got OD&D in the mail, plus a fair amount of other D&D books (need to fill in my 1st Edition AD&D collection), as well as equal amounts of White Wolf and Palladium books...a few Eden Studios books, Kobolds...

Had a halfling druid. I got tired of my party treating our captured enemies too nice during interrogations, so there was an on the fly revamp of personality. Turns out, my halfling was VERY skilled at getting information out of people. Borderline evil, but he only did nasty things to the bad...
