    Game Stores in Dallas/Fort Worth

    Welcome to Texas! I lived in that part of town for about 7 years and work there currently, and its pretty desolate. Lone Star Comics has a store up in Plano, and there is a local card shop at Arapaho and Jupiter that carriers some RPG materials, but most of the best stores are located outside...

    What kinds of True20 Campaigns are you running?

    I'm not getting in any True20 gaming at this time. :.-( But I'm purchasing interesting settings like Interface Zero when they come along!

    Teen murdered - Bad press for local game store

    Story next day didn't include location as it started going off in another direction (why? grieving family, etc.). As for alcohol at Six Flags, I've had enough encounters with jerks at the park to not want to go back there if it is allowed. I've seen a couple of items on the news about it as...

    Teen murdered - Bad press for local game store

    The story on the NBC affiliate's web site has more details than how it actually aired. It very much was: Picture of store exterior show in daylight "Teen killed by other teen in front of LSC in Plano yesterday. Victim stabbed and assailant was arrested soon after." When news stories are...

    Teen murdered - Bad press for local game store

    While I was watching the local news this morning a report came on that a teen had been stabbed to death in front of Lone Star Comics, a local game/comic shop in Plano. No real details, but one of those stories that makes you go "hmmm." They showed about ten seconds of video in front of the...

    Archival dust jacket protection: recommendations?

    It's been a while since I dropped by this part of ENWorld, so I'm sorry I missed your question until now. I use Demco's Budget Book Jacket Covers at my work and home. Really you just want something to keep stains off and keep the dust jacket from getting torn, so you don't need to spend a lot...

    RotRL or CotCT

    We just finished the first book of the CotCT AP and so far it's delivering what I and my group were looking for in an AP. Here's what initial attracted us to the AP, and so far how its turned out: Character Development: I wanted a game where the players felt like they could really invest...

    No worry - there are still plenty of us too lazy to buy minis online.

    Adamant Entertainment: State of Play

    I'm glad you decided to go with an established rule set rather than going it alone, but I'm sad to see it wasn't True20. I'll still be buying your Imperial Age, Thrilling Tales and Mars lines though. I'm happy they made the cut.

    Dallas Group Now with forums.

    ??? Oh well, must be another ENW glitch. I posted yesterday to see if there is any interest in trying to organize a 2008 DFW ENWorld Game Day. Last year we had it in Bedford, and this time I think we should try for Dallas County. Are any group members over on that side of the Metroplex...

    [Board Games] Richard Borg

    I've been looking at C&C:A for a year now (reading reviews on Boardgamergeek.com) and finally picked it up Friday night. Spent a few hours putting stickers on, reading the rules and yesterday afternoon played my first solo walk-through game. Here's my impressions: * Blocks were smaller than I...

    True20, I Think I Love You

    Fraser, As someone who's used your own Modern Medieval series of books for his True20 game, and even gotten your support on some rules clarification, it warms my heart to hear your confession!

    The I'm not jealous of Gen Con attendees AT ALL thread

    Nope, not jealous at all. I get to spend the weekend going "back-to-school" clothes shopping with my kids during the state's tax-free holiday! Stores full of people. Looking for backpacks. Shoe shopping. Yep, a fun-filled weekend for me! :D Actually, except for missing out on the...

    Legendary Encounters - Reaper

    Last year I picked up two LE ogres for $5 each. Unpainted version would have been twice that much and then I would need to paint them. The DDM version - well I'd have to find it in stock and pay whatever my FLGS decided to charge for it. So when the situation is right, the LE minis are a...

    Instead of a Screen...

    I think there's room in the market for lots of different options. :) As a laptop user, I'd like to have a laminated top for the PC to sit on with common tables and an area to use as a scratch pad for tracking hit points. Any serious rules I use the SRD on my PC, and I keep my notes in a Word...

    Pathfinder 1E Beta is at Paizo's Warehouse

    So Darrin, what's the difference between the Campaign Setting and the Gazeteer from earlier this year (besides page count)? Is it worth the money or are you getting the same material twice?
