In our last 4e campaign, I gave the rogue a pair of gloves. When he put them on, they grew into claws and couldn't be removed. He had a couple small negatives to some skills, but he sure felt bad ass walking around with them. The really neat part was after I gave them to him, I asked each...

My group has one guy that travels 50%. We started with a web cam and gridded white board. Then moved to a projector and maptools. We've tried the image on the table and on a wall. We're currently using the wall. For sound, one of us has a business conference number, so that, combined with a...

The last time this came up, I had all the tables and stuff ready and we rolled everything up quick before playing. It took 30ish minutes and everyone enjoyed it. They had input on the character and everything they needed to fill in on the sheet, I had ready, so it went real quick.

I'd like to see a web app that runs on everything, laptop, tablet, etc. Assuming it is for 4e, I want it to track everything for combat. I want to put the monster stats and players stuff in. I want each player to be able to view their sheet and make notes on it, as suggested by Johnny3d3d...

My players have been awesome. We all alternate bringing dinner, so that's nothing, but I rarely have to contribute to the beer pool. So they step it up more, usually around Christmas. Our first year together, they gave me a Bag of Holding: ThinkGeek :: The Bag of Holding Messenger Bag I...

As much as Carl annoyed me last night, he is the one who should be the most troubled. He's the only kid, so he has no real friends....what kind of life can he expect? How could he not be depressed? Although, he definitely is seriously broken.

I've got to ask the question, is the effort worth it? I can certainly relate to building a set piece for a big encounter, but do you use them all the time? My group went maptools and a projector over a year ago and I don't think we'll ever go back. It's just so darn easy to draw a map, even...

Did anyone else notice how last episode ended during the day, but this one started off in the dark. Sure, it makes sense for Lori to wake up and it be dark out, she could have passed out. But Rick and gang in the bar, it seemed like the shootout had just happened and suddenly it's dark out...

One of my players, who also watched WD wrote this up and I would be remiss if I didn't share: So the scene at the end in the bar what the 2 guys walk in, here's my take on it. It starts off as a skill challenge to gain Rick's trust. Complexity 2. 4 successes before 2 failures. Diplomacy -...

Another vote for Savage Worlds or AD&D. A change of genre can be fun, as can board game night. Our guest DM couldn't get it together last session and we had a great time playing Settlers of Catan.

I would second the don't run a fantasy thing. You'll end up trying to play it like D&D. My group did and so have many others I've heard from. There is a combat cheap sheet on the peginc site. Priceless with helping in combat.

My 4E group gave SW a try and didn't "get" it the first time around. We tried using the test drive rules and my players tried to play them like 4E. It wasn't great, but we will definitely give it another try. Someone else said don't start with Fantasy, I can't say that enough. Start with...

In my level 1-30 campaign that recently finished, about halfway through, I started halving monster HP, but doubling damage. I did give my players fair warning and in the end, it was an improvement. The higher damage output made combat much more exciting. And I was not above fudging HP up or...

There goes productivity for an hour.

My group has a couple guys who travel so they would miss sessions. After numerous options, we've settled on Maptools, a star phone, and one of the guys has a conference line we use. We don't use any fancy macros or templates, just maptools to share the map and the phone to talk. We take the...

As an experiment, after discussing the Walking Dead finale with my game group, I sent them an email placing them in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. Miraculously, they had all survived and headed south, finding an abandoned farm. They had their wives and kids with them. I gave them some...

I agree it was nice to see an episode that finally advances the larger story arc. Now the question is will we see any resolution to it? Has the show been picked up for another season? Cancelled? Still in Limbo?

We are playing on our regularly scheduled Tuesday night. My brother is trying to round up a few buddies for some Settlers of Cataan on Wednesday. If those both run as expected, I'll be ready to join the Walking Dead on Thursday.

As boring as the search for the little girl has been, it astounds me how stupid these people are...in regards to their host! Herschel has given them a place to stay that is safe, he's provided for them medically, and they return the favor by stealing his horse, wandering around with guns, and...

Do any of us really think a probe would last 85 million years? I have a lot of issues with the confidence they use when saying it's an alternate Earth.
