Bump... Just want to get some input from those who missed this thread while AT GenCon... Please opine... Taro Sarask Pat E

Hmmmm..... Now, I have never been to GenCon, and obviously, many people who do go are THERE now! But do you think this is really true? People from Atlanta aren't going to drive to Indy, are they (other than a small handful...)? I kind of assumed the the 8 hour drive radius would really be...

Bear with me for a long discourse.... FIRST: I have never been to a major convention. Yes, I'm jealous of all who have. Yes, I will get to a big one some day.... So... GenCon started at as the Lake Geneva Convention. I quikcly became to big for that local, as was moved to Milwaukee. A...

Hmmm.... Its interesting that most people on jumping on Tyr for saying that its marketed as a miniatures game, and that he use in D&D is secondary. I just went to wizards site, and see the following, from the "in the workds" section: These things are really going to be an asset to just about...

Thanks again Gary. I agree with your long term assessment with D&D, thus my earlier question about your possible aquisition of the property. I suspect that we will see 4th Edition sooner than most would like, and that soon after that thing will spiral to far down for Hasbro to stomach, and...

1.) How many players in your group? 5 2.) Do you DM? yes 3.) Do other people in the group DM, and how many? Yes. I am the story arc DM, I pass off responsibility to get from point A to Point by to the other players. They are picked to DM because their character has something to do with...

You could also track down some of the old TSR Choose your own adventure books.... The first 6 in that series were pretty good, but the went down from their... They give the basic premise of what D&D is... an adventure, choices, combat, Fallout from those actions... Pat E

Gary a quick follow up.... Hate to to keep dredging up the past... When Don passed away, you were equal partners with Brian Blume, and assumedly Don's wife now held the 3rd share... Whose idea was it to get Brian's father involved? Why not some other investor, or let Don's widow see the...

Its been a while, but didn't the 1e Forgotten Realms accessory, "City of Mystery" have such maps? It also included a TON of paper cut outs (which was what the product was sold for) but I think it had town maps that you would lay out, and then put your cut out houses on top of... Could be...

I have wondered the same thing... I love to game (all games), and would dearly love to see my kids enjoy it as well. That said, I have seen to many instances in life of Parents trying to force their kids to do things, only to see them walk in the complete opposite direction. My oldest turns 5...

The Past... and the future?! As always, thanks for you time Gary... First: I recently read an interview you did with CIRO ALESSANDRO SACCO, a multi parter that covered your history in gaming from the birth of RPG's to your current work with LA. I'd like to say that it reads like an America...

Yep... I've used Mini's since 1e... My mother had an old vinyl table cloth with 1 inch square check pattern on it... we'd use all those extra 6 sided dice to define the room.... Then battlemats came along, and made things so much easier... Now I'm making 3d dungeons with Hirst Arts blocks...

I have my laptop for quick generation of NPC's/treasure/monsters, but I can live without it. We currently use Battlematts, and map EVERYTHING. I find that if you don't, you end up with problems.. i.e. if you only map for combat, when move in to draw something up, they know that something is...

Yep, Greyhawk was menat for YOU to detail, or to go buy up those ESD's that give some hints of what is going on. If you want free info, your best bet is track down all of the various Living Greyhawk Triad sites, and see what they have written up for their regions. Of cours, that means that you...

How north is north.... I live in Portsmouth, NH, probably a 45 minute drive for you. Go to JumpGate on Rt 1 (Easy Directions: I-95 North to Exit 3. Left at ramp. Left at McDonalds onto Ocean Road, go to the end, White Birch plaza is on your right, Jumpgate is right there. Aobut 3 miles...

They wanted a default "static" world. A place where they could place generic adventures, and which could be used by those DM's who wishes to complete the details. Because the Forgotten Realms are such a "dynamic" setting, it simply cannot do that. I suppose that most gamers do know more about...

Moathouse: it'll get posted.... Pogre: Have no fear, when I do finish the moathouse, it will probalby end up getting submited for HADD 5 over on void gamers. My game ground moves INCREDIBLY slow, in fact, I got into terrain building to help keep my interest to a certain degree. That said...

Not out of Luck in New England.... The Citadel Games, Rt. 12 in Groton, CT. Take Rt 12 south from the Interstate (I-95) about 1 mile. Store is on the right, between Ponderosa, and Burger king. You won't be able to park there, but about 1/8 of a mile on your left is a very large shopping...
