    Hillside Games, Asheville: The Unfriendly Local Game Store

    Also, the name of his store and the domain should have the word "Games" in it, so people don't just think it's a bookstore or whatever. I checked and "wyvernstalegames.com" does not appear to have been taken.

    Cave of Forgotten Dreams

    "Cave of Forgotten Dreams" is a 3D documentary about the cave where the oldest cave paintings known have been found. The 3D views were really incredible. I'm not a big 3D fan, but its use in this film was breathtaking. Right from the beginning, you almost feel like you are in the cave. There...

    Barb and Jolly Blackburn of Kenzer...

    That's terrible. My deepest sympathies.

    Getting Back and looking for D&D Novel Suggestions

    :-D Hopefully Richard Baker is hard at work on Geran, Hamil and Sarth's next adventure!

    Oots 0764

    I love how in the third panel, the lizardman cleric is going on about not repeating previous conversations (because in the background Elan is repeating a previous converstation :) )

    Beholder's Collection

    Looking forward to these. Four beholders for what you can pay for one or two on the secondary market sounded great to me! Plus, the palnt schemes for this set look oh so cool. I preordered mine from Paizo because my FLGS wasn't going to get enough to allow preorders, but apparently not early...

    New D&D Movie in the works?

    Wrath of the Dragon God was a good direct to cable D&D movie. My favorite part was how they resurrected the cleric off camera. In the last scene, the thief and barbarian are in a courtyard, and the cleric just walks up to them and they smile. All you can see is his back and the side of his...

    Castle Ravenloft Board Game

    I picked up my copy on Saturday, and just for the minis and dungeon tiles alone, it was worth the price- full price at my FLGS that recently opened up right down the street! So I have a vested interest in supporting them :) I'm looking forward to playing it next weekend with my regular gaming...

    Getting Back and looking for D&D Novel Suggestions

    Recently I've been reading Paul Kidd's Greyhawk novels, and they are super fun hack & slash romps that don't take themselves too seriously. The main characters are a decidedly chaotic good ranger, his sentient hell hound pelt, and a sultry fairy. The first one is called White Plume mountain...

    What does your ENWorld name mean?

    My enworld name is my main online nickname. I originally chose it because I wanted a unique yahoo/aim name, something that I liked but did not have an "X" or "123" after it because someone had already chosen that name. I'm tall and thin (not as thin as I used to be... it's all the Coke &...

    The Pinnacle of your Collection

    The pinnacle of my collection is probably Knights of the Dinner Table # 1. That and my hook horror action figure :) (Paizo found some buried in a warehouse a few years ago and sold them through their website). As far as game products go, I'm not really sure. I have lots of stuff I think is...

    DDM Wacky Ideas Thread

    How about a dwarf wizard/sorceror? :-D One of my players was a dwarf wizard, and it was tough finding something remotely close.

    DDM Wacky Ideas Thread

    MegaMinis makes a line of "Dungeon Decor" that would fit this niche nicely. I find my old Heroquest (the boardgame) stuff works nicely, too, if you already have it. (I just looked on ebay and Amazon, and boy is it pricey). Fat Dragon's EZ Dungeons also come with plenty of dungeon dressing-...

    My experiences with last night's D&D Encounters

    I had a blast with the Encounters at PAX, so I went last night (to Your Move Games as well, but I wasn't in Piratecat's group). I do have one suggestion: in addition to tracking gold, experience and renown on the "Player Tracker" sheet, you should also be able to track current HP and healing...

    Dark Sun Preview at Pax East

    I played Dark Sun at PAX as well, and it was a blast. I was the Goliath Gladiator, which was a lot of fun since I've been enjoying Spartacus: Blood and Sand on Netflix. (Spoilers ahead) I played 4E for about 12 straight hours on Saturday, and while I've never been against 4E, I'm becoming a...

    System that is gritty AND heroic?

    Riddle of Steel Actually, I don't know if this game would meet your requirements, as I've never played it, and I read it several years ago. But from what I recall, the game is pretty heroic, but still gritty (as the combat system is supposed to be very realistic).

    Socializing at PAX East

    Lurker signing in. I live in Boston, and am going to PAX. Meeting at the Sheraton the night before sounds like a good plan. If no one else wants to run anything, I could run some D&D or C&C (C&C preferably because it's simpler- less of a "need" for minis). I've been meaning to run the Dark...

    Boston gaming - PAX East needs RPG volunteers!

    Not sure about the whole schedule, but here is the WoTC Schedule: http://www.paxsite.com/paxeast/PAX_East_DD_Events.pdf The Undermountain sessions look cool. :)
