    Different versions of ENWorld?

    Ok this is odd. I have this set as a favorite in one place in IE: http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/news/modules.php?op=modload&name=ENNews&file=index When I go there - I see a version of ENWorld, with a slightly larger font, and a curvey design up the page and across the top. However when I go...

    Star Wars DVD announced

    I'm not advocating bootlegs here, but.... If you want the original flicks on DVD - check around on the internet for copies from Thailand. A friend of mine has them - they were mastered from the Laserdiscs. The quality is excellent, and the DVD menus and options are comparable with what you'd...

    What Are You Listening To?

    If you had one on your PC it should have been able to use that. I'm using Winamp and it works OK (you still have to launch the stream from the Live365 site though). --*Rob

    What Are You Listening To?

    At the moment I'm listening to (shameless plug) my own internet radio station - Positive Rock. Offpspring's new single "Hit THat" is playing. If you want to check it out, please do. I do not make any money from it, I do it only for the pleasure of sharing music with others...

    Series you want to see on DVD

    Well, I was going to say "Freaks and Geeks" - but I just got an email annoucing the box set of all the episodes! One of the only series to ever mention D&D in a number of episodes, and portray a REAL D&D game in a normal way! --*Rob

    Advice on Opening a Game Store

    Is she SURE there's no local gaming store? Because if she's looking at Philly proper - maybe there isn't. BUT - just over the bridge in Cinnaminson, NJ is Gamer's Realm - one of the best gaming stores around. Here's a map for reference...

    Advice on Opening a Game Store

    Where in Philadelphia is she planning to open this store? I'm asking because you say the area has no gaming store. Don't be so sure about that. About 25 minutes northeast of Philadelphia in Cinnaminson NJ is Gamer's Realm. Well known throughout the South Jersey/Philly Region as an excellent...

    The Apple ipod Mini

    Yes the price on the iPod mini is too high. If they had broken the $150 barrier, I think it would have been well worth it. But - this is APPLE we're talking about... --*Rob

    WotC stores: dead?

    Not really. This is more a function of the market as it is. Toys R Us is the place for folks to get mainstream board games like Taboo and Cranium. Your average Joe might walk into a Game Keeper - see the full price on most board games, see the "geeky" card games and RPG stuff, and walk out...

    Favorite Beer & Pretzels Game?

    Surprised no one has mentioned: WIZ WAR! Which is an awful lot of fun, if you can find a copy. Chessex keeps telling us the new edition if on the way, but it never shows. <sigh> We also like Fluxx, Apples to Apples, and the 20th anniversary edition of Trivial Pursuit - which is still hard but...

    Cheap DM/Player tips

    Said it before, will say it again - food is great for foes. M&M's are the best. Different colors, fit in squares. Person who gets the killing blow eats it. --*Rob

    General game Website - HELP?

    I'm trying to remember the name of a game web site. The site covers all aspects of the gaming industry, and has message boards devoted to RPG, CCG and bord games. I've been racking my brain for a half hour, punching through search engines and I can't find it. The site we very professional...
