    Any Gamers in South Carolina?

    Shaw AFB/Sumter I'm currently stationed at Shaw AFB and wouldn't mind joinging a group. Granted, I leave for England in August, but having a game until then would certainly be nice. I actually spend most of my weekends in Columbia, so if there's a game out there that would do me even better...

    RPG Collecting

    While I know just about anyone that plays RPGs has an RPG collection, I was wondering if there was anyone on these boards that specifically collected RPGs, whether it just be in general or certain settings, brands, etc.? Or even RPG-related type collections, such as dice, miniatures, etc...

    Dragon Magazine Collections

    I have about a dozen issues or so, used to be many more, but I gave them all away when I joined the military. Kind of wish I'd kept them now as I'm sure they'd help me in getting reacquainted with the game. Paul

    What class can you not bring yourself to play?

    While I consider myself to be in the camp of "willing to play anything," there are a few I'm not nearly as likely to go towards unless I have a great character concept to go with it. The sorcerer as number one and for no real good reason. Heck, I always thought they sounded like a good idea...

    What race can you not bring yourself to play?

    Personally, I think most the races could use a little tweaking before I'd jump at the chance to play them. But Half-Orcs are the ones that would need the most tweaking before I'd consider touching it. I like the idea of a race of big tough ugly brawler types, but the background for half-orcs...

    Getting Back Into Gaming

    Back in the day I did more DMing than playing and that's the way I'm thinking it'll end up going again. I just don't meet too many people that are interested in being the DM. As for a campaign setting, I've always been a big fan of the DragonLance books, but in the past we only used Forgotten...

    Getting Back Into Gaming

    I've been out of gaming for a bit and have recently become very interested in it again. Due to some current circumstances, it'll be a few months before I'll be able to actually get into a game, but until then I figrued I'd get myself reacquainted with the game. I've got the 3.5 core books and...

    What about Parents?

    My parents never really understood it, but weren't really bothered with it unless it got in the way of school work. They just figured it was some hobby my brothers and I would grow out of. Now that we haven't... My dad doesn't say much, but when he does, it's to the affect of "When will you...

    Settings you want to like

    I want to like Forgotten Realms so much... But I don't think it'll ever happen. There's tons of material for it, everyone knows a little about it, and so on, but there's things that just rub me the wrong way. I think mostly it's that there's so much magic in the setting and so many different...

    Books pricing themselves out of reach?

    One thing I think that needs to be taken into account for college kids these days with SUVs, sports cars, iPods, etc. - Credit! In order to be fashionable, a lot of kids take out loans for these cars (usually with parents as co-signers). Then there's the fact banks are willing to give college...

    The ultimate guide to D&D?

    Market research indicates that 4 million American males, ages 8 to 45, play Dungeons & Dragons, while 7.6 million who haven’t played say they want to learn how. At first I had a hard time believing this fact when I first read it, but when I think about it, it makes sense. Saying they "want to...

    Coolest. Gaming Set-up. Evar.

    This is what worries me about trying such a setup. One of the things I've always liked about RPGs is that they don't need much to be used. Not that I don't like all the extras to add to the game, but I don't ever want to feel so spoiled that I can't enjoy the game in its most basic form. Paul

    Coolest. Gaming Set-up. Evar.

    I know I already posted on this topic once about the set up, but I just wanted to say that this topic has re-awakened the geek in me. I haven't gamed in years and have barely scanned a gaming book as well. Saw this on slashdot, checked it out, and immediately the old gamer in me was back to...

    Coolest. Gaming Set-up. Evar.

    Although a set up like this is more than likely years down the road for me, I was wondering if there would be some way to project the lines you use for miniatures with the picture projected instead of prejecting onto a battlemat or similar? Thanks. Paul
