I'll be in Baltimore for a good chunk of next week and was wondering if there's any local game stores worth checking out.

This is the first I'm hearing about it. What does "Electronic Gaming Intitiative" actually refer to?

Anything that I can apply to 3.5e (at least in concept)?

Are there any systems in place for when characters participate in games such as pool, darts, etc. (aka bar games?). In the absence of an applicable Perform skill I just used a Con check followed by a Dex check (in this case, darts) when it came up recently. Is there a better way to go about...

I've noticed that a lot of the character generator software (e.g. Hero Lab and PC Gen) have tools for use in-play. While I can see how this could be handy, it also strikes me as something maybe a bit unnecessary and possibly disruptive to other people at the table. I've been considering...

I like that the option to use it is there, but the decision to implement should really depend on the flavor of the campaign. I'm not sure how much place it would have in a high fantasy campaign, but in a campaign more--um... genre permeable?--there's no reason it can't play a prominent role...

This is actually fortuitously timed, because I'm about to embark on what I pitched as a "super-casual," when-we've-got-the-time D&D game using only pre-made adventure modules. This prompted one of my player to say, "So, a dungeon crawl, then." I bristled at that, especially since I was just...

There's a LOT of great suggestions here; in my case, if they're unimportant or unlikely to face combat, I use standard stats from the book. If they're going to stick around or be in combat or serve a plot function, I'll give them the full treatment with few shortcuts (even though I hate...

I just wanted to say this is probably the best name for a con ever. That is all.

I'm sure they'll get to it right after the "Gravity's Rainbow" RPG.

Cereal, eh? Kobold Krunch? Lich Loops? Fiend Flakes? Bugberry?

I've been making it a point lately to sample as many character generators as I can and I've found a few I liked (Redblade, PC Gen, and especially Hero Lab) but I've yet to get the chance to try ETools; every time I try the Code Monkey site it's down. Would you say it was worth getting? It...

... ...Is it in hardcover?

I was paging through the Forgotten Realms 3e book the other day and got to thinking about how much I used to love that setting. All campaigns I'd DMed had been set there, and I'd obsessively devoured all of the novels (regardless of quality) all through my teen years. I'd grown sort of...

Wow! God bless the gamer tendency for minutiae! I knew you guys would come through! I'll have to take some time poking around those sites. Keep the suggestions coming, boys. Knowing me my next character will also unnecessarily unconventional.

I'm playing a new character in an AD&D 2e (yes, still; my DM doesn't like change) campaign who is something of a dandy-fop (okay, an outrageously over-the-top dandy-fop) and even though it's entirely anachronistic I had wanted him in a sort of medievalized tuxedo (top hat, tails, etc.). I...
