    I just bought Frostburn

    I like "outside the box" D&D. Frost and Fur is more to my liking.

    Gridless Combat

    Greetings! I am wrestling with the idea tossing my battlemat. Does anyone have any house rules for doing gridless combat? I'd like to mine people's ideas and experiences because I am not very good at rule design. Hence, my screen name ;). Thanx!

    Dundjinni Campaign Art Pack

    Hmmm. It is not showing up for me. I will play with it more when I get home. [edit: Nope, it is not showing up. I will ask over on their boards.]

    Dundjinni Campaign Art Pack

    I based my claims on Dundjinni's thread http://www.dundjinni.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=1348&PN=2. I assumed that it was accurate since no one responded to the contrary. I hope I mispoke. Cheers, m [edit: I see that I am not showing the "Pixels per Cell" option in the Export/Format...

    Dundjinni Campaign Art Pack

    I purchased the Dundjinni Campaign Art Pack (and main program) on the basis of their claims that it can produce images like this. Warning: You can't. This sample image can be found on the Campaign Art Pack page. It is also on the Gallery page under the heading "All of these images are maps...

    RPG Sound Mixer

    I just picked it up the other day too and am totally in awe. It took me awhile to figure out how to use it, but after an hour of fiddling around, I was able to put together a few Sound-Banks. RPG Sound Mixer is truly an amazing utility. Cheers, Mark

    HARP vs D&D

    With all due respect, I think you may have misunderstanding Nisarg's point. If I read the post correctly, s/he is saying that the "we are better than d20" mantra is a dead end sales approach. That's all. While I don't agree that the discount for d20 books from ICE makes them guilty of this...

    HARP vs D&D

    Your right! Poor D20. ICE is stealing your customer base. Run for the hills!!!!! :p In all seriousness, this marketing tack happens all the time. Telephone companies do it. Car companies do it. ICE is just capitalizing on the glut of d20 books. It is a fair, calculated, and smart...

    HARP vs D&D

    I have only read through HARP a few times, but I like what ICE has done. IMO HARP strikes a nice balance between the strengths of both RM and DnD. For those that like one or the other, HARP probably is not their cup of tea. For me, I am looking forward to giving it a try with my group. I...

    The Forge

    I'll go out on a limb and say that I'd prefer for them not to be included;). I like the open-endedness of your work. It is refreshing to have a setting material be so flexible and customizable. And I have to add, your artwork rocks! Cheers, Mark

    Who Would Illustrate Your Setting?

    Seconded.

    Kinkos vs OfficeMax

    My local Kinkos was great. The raised the question of copyright, but I simply told them that I purchased the pdf. directly from the company and would gladly get a note/email verifying this. No problems whatsoever. Cheers, Mark

    3D mapping program suggestions?

    Well, I think you helped actually;) . Your point that it is still a cool program despite its being dead (in term of development) is a good one. I emailed the company and I got a quick response from Max. He informed me that they are still selling and doing technical support for both programs...

    3D mapping program suggestions?

    Given that Overseer (RO and CO3D) are dead, what other programs are out there than can fill in the gap? I don't want to spend tones of money or time, but I'm very interested if anyone has any suggestions for other programs (Aurora NWN?). Thanx for your help! Cheers, Mark

    What is "grim and gritty" and "low magic" anyway?

    I believe this argument can hold true for some high fantasy games too. While it is clear that a GnG game is not to your liking, why do you feel the need to disparage those that like it? The need to "screw over the players" is a DM trait and is not specific to any campaign style. Cheers, Mark

    HârnMaster 3 pdf available free from CGI!

    While I will grant that this is potentially true of any true fan, I feel that this was a cheep shot. You can't couch a global statement claiming knowledge of a "significant" number of Harn players behind the protection of your personal "repeated experience." You may not like some of the Harn...
