    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    Mr. Gygax, I apologize if this has been asked before, but there's too much in the previous posts for me to go through searching for an answer right now. Futurama has got to be one of my favorite television shows (pity it didn't last longer) and I was wondering how was it you got an appearance...

    NHL: Player News and Rumors (Thread finished)

    Man I hate politics in my sports. And I really don't see how this is legal. Unless someone signs a contract to a team guaranteeing them so many years fo service, they should be allowed to play wherever the hell they want. And even with a contract, the player should have a clause giving them...

    NHL: Player News and Rumors (Thread finished)

    Holy cow!!! I just went this thread. If only I'd known earlier I could get all my NHL news on ENworld. Thanks for putting all this up.

    Battle Mats

    You may have to bite the bullet and just pay the insane shipping costs. On the bright side, it'll be cheaper to have it shipped now thajn this time next year, with the way S&H prices keep going up. And now to be OT: Where in Alaska are you from? I grew up in Anchorage (and now live in the UK).

    WotC Sneak Peek Seminar

    I'm all for the old stuff getting rehashed due to me not playing D&D back in the day and because of that, I missed out on those adventures. Now I have to listen to others talk so fondly about those adventures when they reminisce and I'd like to know what I'm missing out on.

    Major nostalgia kick!

    Everytime I clean house I end up coming across my old notes and get the good old nostalgia feelings. I'm always amazed though at how much creativity I had for my games back in the day compared to these days. Another reason why people should avoid real jobs at all costs :D

    DM's forfeit power

    When I started role-playing, my characters were built as they progressed. I started with what I thought was cool and when advancing, took on whatever seemed coolest at the time. With 3.x, I began thinking of character concepts in which each level was looked at as a building stage towards my...

    Explaining the Game

    A friend of mine has (or had as the case now is) never heard of D&D. Another was under the impression it was board game. Both of these people are adults (which kind of shocked me that the one had NEVER heard of it all. I tried explaining D&D to them and found myself constantly falling short...

    Gamer backgrounds

    Can anyone point me in a good direction for finding nice gamer-themed Windows backgrounds? I'm getting kind of tired of the ones that work provides for me. Thanks.

    Getting Into the Game

    If this has been covered before, I apologize. I've gone through some old posts, but haven't the time to go back as far as possible. It's been about three and a half years since I've last gamed. Part of the reason I haven't been gaming is joining the military and traveling and all that. The...

    Suffolk, UK

    I'm currently living on RAF Lakenheath, but am willing to travel to play. I'm interested in playing 3.5, but am willing to give most games a shot. I will not play in the Storyteller system though. I have the three core books plus Unearthed Arcana. Also, most of my experience comes from...

    Lakenheath/Brandon/New Market

    And all of the surrounding area. I just moved here about three weeks ago and am looking for a nearby game. I'm currently living on RAF Lakenheath, but sometime within the next few months I will be moving off base, probably towards Bury St. Edmunds. If anyone has a game in or near these areas...

    D&D Social Stigma

    As far as being considered geeky, I don't really care. Right now, geek is cool. Ten years from now it won't be and then ten years from that it will be again. So the cycle goes. The stigma that I hate, though I've seen it often earned, is the hygiene-challenged basement dweller. Seriously...

    Worst RPG System You Ever Palyed?

    I'm gonna say Palladium as well, though I've only played Palladium, d20, and 2e. I love a lot of Palladium's worlds. Heck, the Robotech RPG was my first. But the rules system is just horrible. Too bad Mr. Siembieda is too proud to let anyone convert his games to d20. I think that's because...

    Hasbro 2Q results

    I see this as a sign that we all need to run out and buy a WotC produced RPG book. Have them all you say? Or maybe there's no others that you wants? No worries. Just post a message saying so and I'll let you know which book you can buy me :D

    Earth: The Ultimate Campaign Setting

    Sounds like it could be run as a historical Harry Potter. A world where spectacular magic is very real, but those that know about it keep it secret from the rest of the world. Sorry, but the world of Harry Potter was the first thing that came to mind when I read this thread.

    RAF Lakenheath

    In August I'll be moving to RAF Lakenheath and I was looking for a group to join in the area. I'm a bit rusty in my D&D (3.5) rules, but I'm sure it won't take me long to remember them. I also know the Palladium system and I'm willing to learn any others. Paul

    Equiment vs. Skill in D&D

    One thing I like about equipment is that it leaves the characters a little more vulnerable. Lose something, have it stolen, throw it in a fit of madness, and there go the ability bonuses. Something that I think DMs should take advantage of as many players grow complacent and don't keep much...

    NC Game Day VII - April 23!

    Ah man, here I was thinking this would be a cool event to go check out and I begin thinking about how I'm gonna do it. Then I notice the date and that's the same day there's gonna be an air show on base that day and I have to be here for that. So it goes. Hope everyone has fun at this event...
