I see so much of this stuff now-a-days. Are people really not bothered by the poor contrast between the photography and the digital painting? Or, is that part of the flavor? I think it would at least be better if the perspective between the figures and the background was consistent. Then it...

Important: Dice thermos. Have a small thermos to use as a dice cup...shake and flip...lift the thermos off the lid...check the result of your roll in the thermos lid. Has worked for me many times.

You are correct. Life is generally more complicated than the dialectic we view it through.

“If men learn this, it will implant forgetfulness in their souls; they will cease to exercise memory because they rely on that which is written, calling things to remembrance no longer from within themselves, but by means of external marks. What you have discovered is a recipe not for memory...

A good player needs the following: 1) A sense of adventure 2) A sense of empathy 3) Is an apt listener 4) Is a good communicator Follow-up toward greatness: 5) An innovator 6) A strong sense of imagination 7) Good organizational skills 8) A solid memory 9) Is subconsciously inclusive 10) Is...

'Institutionalized' is probably a bad choice of words to define the evil but a good word to describe it. You might have noticed a change from season to season regarding how various people encountered have changed. I think you will find, this season, a great deal of people will have learned...

Because they overcame one threat the introduction was a failure? What a strange comment. This reasoning would destroy the plot of any book. And, I am more than sure they didn't yet overcome the threat. Not only will they meet other similar settlers this season (or missed settlers), they will...

I don't think the butcher scene was about suspense at all. It seemed to me to be about describing a new type of enemy, a methodical, institutionalized evil that everyone is in danger of catching. In the beginning many of the people would not even be able to hunt, let alone battle other...

If you are cutting or erasing to get a transparency you need to make sure the file has an alpha channel. You will see this option right close to where you chose the color to alpha option. If your transparency disappears after you export the file: you are probably saving the image in a file...

Yes. With simple shapes it takes about 20 seconds. You can also just duplicate the layer and erase the difference if you like that better. As for complicated shapes the wand select tool in GIMP is okay...not as good as some other programs...but okay. Remember, when you are dealing with...

Didn't look at the examples; but, if you convert black to alpha simply create a new layer before-hand under the first. Then fill the new layer with black where you don't want the transparency. Make sure your new layer is below the alpha layer...then merge the two. This will eliminate the...

Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Rich setting, different dialects, strong quick character description, humour, spirit and a motivation to experience things.

Not sure of the size you need; but, you can get 18" x 24" portfolios for a pretty reasonable price. If you want to get fancy, they get much bigger and can be made with a nice leather. I've had mine from school for over 20 years now.

Which edition? I never picked any of them up...which has always surprised me a little One of my favorite 'useless' characters was from that game. I played a ultra-famous avant garde artist who used 'found' street signs, vehicles, and buildings to create his art. He was arrested so many...

I've had success a couple of times getting the party to create an organization...or 'group' during character creation instead of individual characters. This eliminated lone wolf and gonzo types unless they truly brought something to the group. The one time that springs to mind was actually for...

Remember, you are talking about an entire society...there are obviously anomalies in every society. What about the brash impetuousness of youth...even found with some elves? Or, (and you will have to excuse me if I'm off base here as I'm not sure how much this has changed over time) the...

Sounds like they are bored. I'd ask them if they want to do something else...doesn't even have to be a role-playing game. Perhaps, if they really do want to play, they are stuck in a rut: switch DMs with another group for a night...do a one-shot modern game...have them make silly characters...

While I really don't think rewards for proactive play is really the solution in this instance, I've done several things to reward proactive play: Gifts of land and resource Bestowing titles or honorary positions Named sections of the game world for the character Allowed the player to help...
