You're welcome! I like the acrylic because most of the suggestions above will work with it. You can throw your own pre-made maps and graphics under it and write all over that without ruining the original. Even the projector image will show up provided you have a nice white page under the...

Essential idea: http://www.elephantstaircase.com/wiki/index.php?title=DIYDryEraseBoard with purchase from: http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=USPlastic&category%5Fname=21314&product%5Fid=10477 Put down large sheets of white gridded presentation graph paper under it...

Or simply read the number that's face down on the table to determine what number is on the other side... Man, I haven't been this excited about a piece of new hardware since I got a 2400-baud modem for my C-64! :cool:

No problem! :) I was surprised that the CNN article was so much more effective at explaining the benefits. The sensing of devices placed on the table is where the real fun will be, in my opinion. That can just be manipulated WAY too much to NOT be useful. The price is reflective of the fact...

http://money.cnn.com/2007/05/30/technology/microsoft.reut/index.htm?cnn=yes This gives you a bit more information. The device can be interacted with via touch, stylus (so write what you want) and voice activated (which I would agree may be far from perfect, but it has improved quite a bit in...

It's under a hard plastic top, so nothing would happen aside from your new need for paper towels.

Bleh, I would hardly consider it geek cred related. I hate the LotR books. That is well worse on the "geek cred" scale. :] The point of the comparison is that GoT is a highly in-depth, muli-tiered writing style. I think this SH is pleasantly deep, but there are usually not much more than 2-3...

Krafus broke the silence! Oh Noes! :lol: As you may surmise from the few times I've chimed in, I have been reading this from the start. I found it primarily as I was searching for any SW Story Hour I could find as I was starting a SW table-top game myself and like to do as much research as I...

This is a little confusing process wise. There are two "repair" options when you boot to an XP disk. The first you are given will put you into Recovery Console. This is not useful for what you're trying to do at the moment. The second one is found by first choosing "Install Windows XP" which...

At the end of every session, I hand out a 4x6 index card split into 3 sections - a question at the top and plenty of room to write a response. 1. What did you like most overall this session? 2. What did you NOT like most overall this session? 3. Personal best moment? I also have a small...

I'm sorry to hear that. I wish you luck in fixing your corner of the interwebs. :) I enjoyed your comic very much, and look forward to its eventual return!

Heya storn... Where did Catspaw go? :(

You're looking to use it as a Wireless Access Point (sometimes called a Bridge device). I use of of those to hook my console games to my wireless network. You configure and connect the wireless through the device, then plug right into the WAP and you're good to go. Some routers have the...

Not in the article, but slated for release in October 07 is the Rules Compendium. So far, I really like the Compendium series. I just got the Magic Item Compendium and have found it to really hit the spot with the intentions they had for it. Much of the items are better balanced in regards to...

I did try looping songs like that, but we would have a combat that would go for a half hour or more... even a 3 minute long song is super obnoxious by then. After doing some searching on the concept of iMixes, I am inclined to agree with you. This may be the way to trade your sets rather than...

I agree - I have all of the Star Wars soundtracks / scores and they are all tagged for Star Wars only. Some other music can be used for both a Sci-Fi and D&D feel, which will be the ones with both tags. Some midnight syndicate comes to mind, as an example. I don't use Harry Potter soundtracks...

I do not read Dragon, so that was interesting timing! I will have to grab that issue and check it out. So far I've got about 20+ CDs specifically for RPG sessions. I play them in the background, with the volume turned down enough to easily hold conversations over it. I also have a 5.1 surround...

I have always use music in the background for my D&D games. I started with just a CD or two on repeat. This left you with some interesting moments and mis-matched events (the ever famous furious combat with a demon lord where the Ewok celebration music begins...) This method, I surmised, is...

Plenty of choices I agree with here. One I did not see mentioned: Counting Crows: August & Everything After In the larger discussion of the music industry and bands, CC is on their own wave. One of the only bands I know of that has an open agreement for their music distribution that actively...
