Well, I've tried Treepad (Business Edition) and its been the best one I've tried so far. I'm still not completely happy with it but I like it better than GSNotes. I'm having some interface issues with it. For instance, I cut and pasted a table from GSNotes into Treepad and it ran off the...

I don't allow alcohol, tobacco or other drugs at my table. If I were playing at someone elses house and someone insisted on doing them anyway, I'd leave even if they had the blessing of the hosts (which they wouldn't have from the folks who currently host our games). I'd leave even if I were...

It's a good thing I haven't seen (and don't intend to see) this movie. See, my TV has this feature that allows me to program it to turn itself on at a preset time. I use it along with my alarm clock to wake myself up in the morning but I can see how that could really creep someone out given...

I may have to try Treepad. I looked at GSNotes and a couple of others but I wasn't terribly impressed with most of them. GSNotes isn't bad, but I'm a bit nervous about the proprietary format. I've never been burned like that but I'd like to keep that record intact. There are also enough...

I really like the book. The lack of NPC stats doesn't bother me in the least. The only thing I've really missed would be more concrete options for toning down arcane magic in campaigns so that you don't have the wizards fireballing all the knights all the time before they ever get to melee.

I need information. My father spends a lot of time on land in the country and has a cellphone which simply doesn't work. He just can't get a signal. As it happens, my stepmother with the same model phone and the same provider (T-Mobile -- its one of those family plans) can get a signal when he...

Barsoomcore: I remember that story about the miners in the cabin being attacked too and it creeped me out just like the Patterson film did. I got creeped out by all sorts of Bigfoot/Alien type stuff, but I went and sought it out anyway. I saw Wizard of Oz as a very young kid (preschool...

Space Empires IV Gold When conquering the world is not enough....

Thanks for all the responses! I have EBoN and the onomasticon already but I'm checking out some of the other links mentioned here. It looks like I'll have plenty of personal names. Now I just need to make up good place names.

I'm building a new part of my homebrew world and its going to have a celtic feel to it. The thing is, I need pre-Christian celtic names for people and places, especially geography. I need names for places like continents, rivers, mountains, islands, tribes and towns most of all as there are...

I have heard fairly little about the Alamo movie, which is odd considering I'm sitting 10 miles from the real thing right now and the movie is opening this week. A while back when the movie was in development I heard worries that the "balanced portrayal" the makers of the movie have promised is...

I've got a question for people out there with both the standalone Conan the Barbarian DVD and the set where it comes with Conan the Destroyer. Is the movie on the Conan the Barbarian DVD the "Extended Version" advertised on the standalone DVD box? I was looking at both in Best Buy today...

Ok, here's an idea that combines several of these threads. The house was once a mansion (that's why it is big enough to convert into an inn. The final generation of the family that owned it fell on hard times and got mixed up with the thieves guild trying to get out of debt. Well, things got...

I've heard a lot of people say that it is Java and that is a possible reason the program is so slow. Then again, there are fast Java Apps out there, so that may not be it. I don't have enough information to know. I understand this. My sole problem with this could be expressed by saying I wish...

I've tried PCGen and DMGenie so far and I can't say I'm terribly happy with either. DMGenie seems to treat that combat manager as the "front page" and that just strikes me as making the program kind of awkward to get around in. I have no need for a combat manager and really don't want to...

Uh, by my reading of the FRCS regional feats are not free. Rather, they are feats you can only buy if you come from a certain region (and some other stuff that isn't relevant). Did this change somewhere?

I know this has been asked before and I think I even asked once a while back, but I'm looking for software that can specifically generate a character to a specific set of parameters (class, race, level) and then lets me edit the result so that I can change feats, skills, weapons used and so...

Thanks for the info. We've had the plan long enough that T-Mobile will give us new phones and we're willing to pay extra to get phones that will give us better reception, but we don't know which ones those are. The T-Mobile reps are pretty unhelpful as they mostly insist there won't be any...

Ok, this isn't D&D related, though it does impact my ability to keep in touch with my group. Perhaps this really belongs in Off Topic, but its technical so I put it in the computer area. Anyway, the problem is this. I get horrible reception on my Nokia phone with T-Mobile when I go into rural...

Heh, I remember working for Radio Shack back in the early nineties and finding out some of the cheapest items had the highest prices. Stuff like diodes you could buy for $1.19 cost them a $.05. It was insane.
