    Dwarven Hall Maps (contd...)

    These maps are fantastic, Kris. Just looking at what you have here makes me want to run a dwarven dungeon crawl. Absolutely great stuff! Mark

    Coolest. Gaming Set-up. Evar.

    I just purchased the 50 inch phd9uk for regular TV use and it was a ton cheaper (2300). It is an absolutely gorgeous screen! I am planning on using it for displaying maps once I get through a safe burn in period. Just one word of caution with plasmas of that size. I have heard that the glass...

    Tiles? Terrain? Battlemats?

    I love building gaming props almost as much as gaming itself :). It is truly a hobby on its own. I have made good use out of the card stock models from Worldworks Games. Although a tad bit time consuming (not a bad thing in my book), they are fairly easly to build. For example, here is my...

    I am moving in July to San Jose and am looking for a new gaming group. I have GM'd, but also like to play. 37 year old married male with two kids. As a result, I can only commit to gaming ever other week due to RL commitments. If you have a seat that you want to fill, give out a shout. I am...

    Player/GM map on Monitor

    Just in case anyone is interested, I settled on Fantasy Grounds (http://www.fantasygrounds.com/). I found that I could run both the player and GM application on one machine and will send the player map to another monitor by extending my screen. I had to make some modifications to the base...

    Player/GM map on Monitor

    Thanx for the tip Todd. Let me see if I understand you correctly though (I am not very knowledgeable with this stuff)....I can run both a master and client on one computer, and have the client set up to the second monitor?

    Player/GM map on Monitor

    I have been toying with the idea of taking my old flat screen CRT TV and turning in flat to make a video battle map out of it. If I can pull it off I will then try to make a table to surround it. I know, crazy idea, but I love building things. I think it would be a cool way to show maps and...

    Suggestions for a fluffy setting?

    Thanx for the tips folks! I will give Midnight another thought. We are currently playing there at the moment and I was kinda wanting a change. But you have a point that it does fit well with BW and there is certainly enough of a continent to move to a less hazardous environment (the players...

    Suggestions for a fluffy setting?

    Greetings! I am thinking about running a future game with a non-D20 system (Burning Wheel) and was hoping to pick your brains. My dilemma is this...What would be a good setting to mine? I'm looking for a standard fantasy setting that is either system-free or light on crunch. Basically a...

    half-orcs -- locked into stereotype?

    I once played a half-orc bard. I loved it!! Grundek was a master of the drums and wooden flute. Although the standard stero-types were in play, I enjoyed adding a layer talant/culture to the race. But it would make the other characters a bit unnervous when he would sign songs of Grummish's...

    Anybody have a PDF called Bits of Darkness: Dungeons

    I just purchased the Cavern pdf. and will be trying it out in our next session. What I like about this specific product is that it will add some fun detail to an otherwise skipped over section of the adventure (the party's travels to an underground Dwarven stronghold). I'm not good at making...

    Seeking a good D&D weather generator

    Cool. If WM does work for you, I'm glad you found something that did :) I just want to clarify a few points for those who haven't made up there mind... I think a more accurate statement IMHO would be that it is an advanced weather generating program with lots of options. WeatherMaster has a...

    Gridless Combat

    Thanx RW! This is great food for thought. I may keep the movement to a ruler type mechanic, but I really like the combat actions. BTW, is the Withdraw option a move or standard action?
