When I have a spare $16 I'd rather buying a couple metal minis and a paint bottle or two. Since the first of the year I've invested several hundred in Reaper minis, painting supplies and lessons at Reapercon. It's paying off by giving me a second hobby to enjoy, one that supports my other...

I bought the ODD online yesterday and after reading through "Men and Magic" and "Monsters and Treasure", I can only say thank god for 3.0/3.5! It makes you really appreciate all the work that's been done in every edition to make this game easier to play. D&D didn't make much sense until 3.0...

There's a "free" MMORPG - Guildwars. You can find a 10-hour demo CD-ROM at Gamestop for either one or two dollars. The first two editions are $30 and don't charge monthly fees.

Maybe, but for every cartoon series I keep them from, there's two others they watch that are dumb as rocks! :p Any day when I'm not subjected to "My Gym Partner's a Monkey" or "Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius" is a good day! ;)

I sometimes play http://www.hasbro.com/Attacktix/ with my six year old son. We have both Star Wars and Transformer ones. They now have out Marvel Super-Heroes as well. It runs like a junior version of HeroClix. Rather than counting squares for movement, you slide the figures across the...

I'd like to have a plan B just in case we are "pleasantly surprised" with the turn out. :) Since I don't know how much time it will take YNH to prepare and it's up in the air in attendance, I'll ask him to not worry about it. But I'll have a DCC Level 0 module with me, so if there's more...

The only thing I can add is to make sure you warn your players before you start that you don't follow CR/EL guidelines. There's nothing wrong with running from a fight you can't deal with. BUT when they choose to run, if you shoot them in their backs as they run away, snatch their character...

Interest in running game DK & DA: Yami No Hon has posted two possible games to run during the second session. First is a historical D20 and second is D&D. What do you think?

Excellent! One of the purposes of my game is to give people an opportunity to play True20 for the first time. Most of the rules follow D20, so I don't think it will be too much of a stretch for you if you've been playing D&D! The one hiccup for most folks is True20 doesn't use HPs. Here's a...

And if only the Hitler's Cross Restaurant in Bombay had only not recently changed its name. They could have opened a little gift shop. :( 'Mommy can I have the Gestapo play set?' 'No Tommy, you've already spent your allowance this week. Honey, what do you think of these iron cross...

When I watched the movie last winter I thought this would make a great RPG! Could you send a copy to bendtoon at yahoo dot com? Thanks!

This reason is probably why I found value in Lords of Madness and Libris Mortis while passing on MMIV. New monsters are great, but even cooler is going the extra step by giving me information on how to build a better encounter. I'm not the kind of DM that will throw monsters in willy-nilly...

Posting to other boards This morning I added posts to a local Fort Worth D&Ders Yahoo! Group and the True20 Forum advertising the event. I signed up for the Dallas D&Ders Yahoo! Group and as soon as I get my membership going I'll post there. Hopefully this will generate more traffic to the...

Could you imagine that Pixar, deciding that the movie needed an additional gimick, released it in the US in French with English subtitles?!? :lol:

I'd like some input on a villain I'm going to pit against my players in a few weeks! (NOTE: If you're a player in our Fort Worth D&Ders group - keep out!) My players are about to reach 5th level and have been doing quite well in combat. I typically throw EL4 or EL5 so I've decided to give...

During the flush times at one company we took the day off when Monsters Inc. came out and saw it as a team. I [heart] Marketing! One of my co-workers took the day off yesterday to go see "Rat" as well with his kids.

Maybe you were thinking of a maul - like they have in Diablo 2? Those look like two-handed hammer thingies!

Usually a half hour after watching a movie/television or reading a book. By that point I'm disecting the story and looking at the individual ideas presented. Like after going to see the recent TMNT movie, thinking it was cool how the antagonist was like a paladin trying to redeem himself and...

Heck yeah! I've been reading the same book off and on for the last month thinking the setting would make an exciting game. I've only looked a the preview, but "Mars: the RPG" from Adamant looks like it would be great for additional inspiration!

I haven't set any of my games in the published settings, but I have used feats and equipment from them. Must haves - Beastiary, Fantasy Roles (stats for most all core fantasy classes), and the new Companion, chocked full of variant rules. House rules - not so much as "translating" other D20/D&D...
