    Necromancer Games NOT going with current GSL.

    I think that it is clear that either: (1) the GSL is a total failure, unable to draw any substantial support from 3rd parties. or (2) the GSL is a total SUCCESS! WotC has effectively ended 3rd party support. Now all the profits are just waiting for themselves.

    How Would You Make a D&D Movie?

    I simply look at the adventure or module as the setting. A decent plot/story must be written, then get down to particulars of the characters' backstories. Let the special effects guys have a lot of the input for how things like magic effects might come out, including what the characters might...

    How Would You Make a D&D Movie?

    I would simply pick an old nostalgic module like "Against the Giants" and build a plot around it. A couple of archetype warrior characters. But please please, don't announce "I am going to cast Magic Missile" followed by a couple of light balls shooting forth. Play down the actual...

    Gleemax is Dead

    I just think that somebody up the ladder at Hasbro finally got around to investigating what WotC was doing with this. He/They took a look and said, "What the F*** is this?!", and followed it up with, "SH** CAN THIS PROJECT, get your heads out of your Arses, and get back to doing game books!" I...

    Taking a Break

    Therre may be something in this statement. I like ENWorld (or mostly do, considering the talk of late). Conversely, I don't particularly care for 4e. I would prefer that my favorite gaming forums not change so drastically to 4e orientation that I completely lose interest in coming here...

    PDF Users - how do you print?

    Most of the time it is fine, but then I still have great eyesight. I too tend to print other things such as maps or compiled reference sheets as full page. It uses half as much paper (much like duplexing) but also uses less toner... it really just shows that I am a cheapskate and too lazy to...

    PDF Users - how do you print?

    Thats a good idea. I print stuff usually single sided, but I change the printer settings to print 2 pages on each sheet of paper. The paper itself comes out landscape oriented, but each page sits in standard layout (but smaller): XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX

    New name for "gish"? (forked from Character Concepts: Gish and Teleporter Mage)

    I don't mind using the term, but then I always use something vague while in game. There would never be a character walking up the the innkeeper and saying "by the way, did a strange Elven 'fighter magic user' come by here?" Gish works as well as anything, but the Gith come first to my mind.

    Wiki Wiki Wiki

    I cannot express how much frustration I have been having lately with the site slowdowns while. Trying to update the wiki is often hard enough, and lately I am having trouble trying even to share my frustrations here. Seems I can only get the page to load about 20% of the time. The rest of the...

    I Am Liberated (and my NPCs are too)

    heh, I essentially did this anyway, regardless of system.

    Rate WotC as a company

    I gave a 1. I could have possibly given them more for some past gem products and for the general resurgence of D&D in general starting with 3rd edition... but more recent events have been severe mis-steps... starting with 'we are not close to having a new edition' talks, followed by, you...

    D&D 4E Anyone know if KQ is going 4e?

    I hope they become the unofficial magazine of the Pathfinder game (by that I mean a 3rd party (non-Paizo) catering to the game).

    Wisdom = Willpower... huh?

    One reasonable (or plausible) way to look at it, is that a wise person knows to persevere (or more properly has internalized the concept). A smart person might know about perseverance, but might not really walk the walk.

    PC concepts I'd love to play...

    I have an old thread here where I was developing my Dwarven Lumberjack character and his clan of dwarves whom work related tree industries (lumber, carpentry, charcoal, wheelwrights, etc). Named him Paul Grunyon (Ranger/Fighter axe specialist) with his Rothe (Ox) animal companion, Babe...

    I often feel much the same as OP. Oddly, even Dragonsfoot seems nicer nowadays.

    What makes a permanent grid on white board? Help needed with homemade "tac-tiles"

    I have used the large easel style paper with grid pre-printed on it, followed up with a fairly large sheet of clear plastic placed on top of it. cheap, easy, reusable, and easily replaced if a true mishap occurred.

    Wiki challenge!

    edit: argghh, even as I try to answer, I get hit with an extreme site slow-down... Category: 3e Classes Subcategory to add: Oriental Adventures Classes (or something similar - too many A's, so I tend to avoid 'Asian' which would have been my first choice to avoid conflict with any official...
