I can appreciate the "hassle" aspect, but I am a 40ish gamer and frankly we have begun to embrace the notion of online connection just to game on a semi-regular basis. We have utilized Skype video conferencing and it has worked very well. In a couple of instances I have been able to "join" the...

It will effect in the long run somewhat. I have maybe several hundered figs, but lately we have moved to D20Pro for mapping and the virtual minis have taken over from the battle mat and WOTC or metal minis. My ultimate goal is to do the projector and mini combination for the best overall table...

Thank you! I got what I felt I needed to make it worth parting with. It has been a great game aid, but our group is moving to a more online type setup. Hippy

5 Hours left ;) Hey ENWorlders! There are 5 hours left on my sale of the original 9 piece BC Products Tact-Tiles! Check the link above if you are interested! (we now return you to your regularly scheduled forum posts :) )

Hey EnWorlders, Not sure if this is the right place to mention this (so my apologies if it is not), but I am offering my set of Tact-Tiles Modular Dry Erase Gaming Grid on Ebay Tact-Tile items - Get great deals on Toys Hobbies items on eBay.com! I have followed several threads in the past...

I bought D20pro and use it as a "add-on" for the tabletop minis. I do not have a projector to point down onto the table (some day I hope to), but I use a monitor and we match the mini battle mat to the screen tokens. It works really well to see how much damage the party is inflicting rather...

Merry X-mas all! Nothing is more precious or important than family and friends at this time of year. I was reminded again today seeing the wonder in the eyes of my three girls, as they opened presents. God bless everyone! Hippy

I have experienced the same thing. My best friend quit playing after high school and I have really missed him at the table these last 22 years. But different strokes for different folks as the saying goes. We just hang out and do other things when he is available. Which is not often...

I think again it is a matter of personal perspective. If you are a Gen Xer (like me ;)) then the 80's was likely the "golden age" for you. It was when you had your first taste of rpgs and got hooked! You will never again have that first feeling and so there is a natural sentimental attachment...

I don't fully agree with your last statement on "killing imaginary creatures is socially acceptable but talking is not". The aspect of RP with imaginary beings, creatures, etc. is what has made mmorpg or ttrpg more palatable to a larger audience. Many of the women I have gamed with over the...

Awesome setup! I am jealous. What I like about what you have is the portability of the whole thing. I am lucky enough to have a dedicated game room fully finished in my basement, but I want to expand it in the future to allow for a bigger table to be used and more room to move around. (When...

I have always been partial to Tolkien (as has been mentioned by others already). His way of envisioning cultures and building stories around them is unmatched in MHO. I also love the political intrigues in Herbert's Dune series and the Jordan Wheel of Time. Great character development and...

Thanks :) Anyone else know of other sites? Hippy

Hey EN Worlders, As you can see from my post count I don't post that much however I was wondering if any of you knew of a website or place on EN World where a master list of CONs (and associated websites for those CONs) is listed. It seems that I only hear about the major CONs (Gen Con...

I use a program called GM Genie to run my homebrew 3.5 game. It makes running combat so much easier to track and allows myself and players to enjoy the story of the combat (i.e. BBEG comments during the fight,etc.) I also use to level characters and NPCs. I use my laptop to show artwork of...

Doug wrote- If D&D was horror, they'd never have had to write Call of Cthulhu. Like Buffy, D&D has the trappings of horror but isn't. The PCs have far too many successes, there are lots of monsters and they mostly die. To make D&D horror you have to do away with the standard dungeon, make the...

Just wanted to jump on the band wagon for magnetic and compatible with the original tile sets! I love my tac-tiles! We use them every game. In fact I'll be using them tomorrow night, Friday, and Sunday! Hippy

Just wanted to put a plug in for Rush! Songs: Witch Hunt, The Fear Series, The Necromancer, Rivendell, Bytor & The Snowdog

I guess I was not clear when I suggested a different game. I meant it a break from what was becoming un-fun for everyone involved. A temporary deversion from the rut they are in with this guy. Maybe one session or a diffferent day if they do not want to give up the game night they have already...

I would ask him point blank (albeit in private in necessary) "Are you having a good time? Because to the rest of us it looks like your aren't. Your sulking is bringing the rest of us down and this is suppose to be fun! Maybe you need a break? Should we try another game perhaps? If this...
