    Screenshots of AVIs?

    Yeah, that's because AVIs usually use your video card's "video overlay" and is being displayed differently. I know of at least one program Hypersnap DX that will let you take a screenshot of AVIs, DVDs, etc...

    How to project Power Point while gaming?

    If you want to run multiple monitors off of a single card I'd recommend you look at Matrox (www.matrox.com). If you want to get a projector figure out if you're primarily going to use it for data or video and what sort of ambient lighting you're going to have. The cheapest new projector I can...

    [humor] The Top Ten Things you don't want a new player to say at the first game...

    I believe it because I'm 90% sure I've played with somebody who said the same thing. They were more protective of giving the details out though.

    How to project Power Point while gaming?

    This is what I do for a living so I hope I can help out. Actually $1000 is about as cheap as you're going to get with a projector and you're probably only talking about 800x600. Anyways, it sounds like your budget it really aiming at using a TV of some sort with a scan converter which converts...

    Indianapolis, anyone?

    I'll offer up my place since I've got a dedicated floor for gaming, but I'm around 46th and 37 so probably a bit of a drive from someone north of Fishers.

    Babes Of Gencon! Posted!

    I don't think build is necessarily the only factor, but there are definately women I would have focused on. There were some greate looking ladies at White Wolf's booth and several others at the Erotic Fantasy booth. Ophidian definately ranks up there, but there were many others as well. Even...

    Indianapolis, anyone?

    I'm fine with DMing, but Tipton is a bit north for me. I'm near 42nd and Keystone. Fishers is probably a good half way point. Jeff posted on another board that he's starting up a Hero game, so you probably won't hear from him. He's in Greenwood which is about 30 minutes south of me.

    Indianapolis, anyone?

    Did everybody get partnered up? I'm playing every other Sunday would be interested in joining another game at a different time during the week. I think Gronkzilla has nearly as many DVDs as me so I know we have something in common(other than D&D).

    Anyone here ever PUSH A MAN DOWN STAIRS!?

    There are a couple bugs where the guy'll just kind of writhe and twitch on the steps and you'll get a ton of points. It's been awhile, but I think if you hit him in the forehead it'll do weird stuff.

    Worst DM Quotes at Gencon

    Not to be positive, but this was my 1st time at Gencon and my 1st time playing RPGA events and all my games ranged from good to great. Even better (and maybe odder yet) all my RPGA DMs were from Indy so I'll get to play in some more games here.

    Eberron -- What do you LIKE?

    What I like about it is the same thing I tried to illustrate in my campaign setting. It seems to be based during a golden era and not the millenia later where adventurers are always digging through old remains of something that used to be cool. I like the idea of foraging through old stuff and...

    So what is the new "Safe House"?

    I think the 4 bar place you're talking about is World Mardi Gras and I believe it's over at the mall. And BW3 is a chain, but maybe it's only in the midwest since I know I've been by one in Ohio.

    Indianapolis, anyone?

    As far as I know Jeff hasn't gotten a game together yet. If I can get enough interest I might start up a campaign of some sorts. Probably on Sundays, if anyone is interested leave a message here. I'm on the northeast side of Indy.

    My Gen Con Report

    I'm a little surprised too...after the first day I almost went out and bought a camera just for the chainmail bikinis, goth babes and catgirls. I don't know what they were advertising, but there was an odd couple walking around with the guy wearing a gasmask and the girl wearing a leather...

    (GenCon) Indy Hyperfix update

    Just a bit of good news, it was announced by several news sources today that Hyperfix should be complete this Sunday, a full 30 days early. This mainly effects people who were planning on coming in on I-70.

    Retroactive Intelligence Bonus: Pros and Cons

    I've used the same rule, but only with skills the player already had. I didn't really have any issues, but you could always rule they have to have used the skill occasionaly or limit how many points they put in on any given int increase to prevent the 20th level example you gave.

    GEN CON and the Indianapolis Area

    I'm probably a little off on the spelling too, but it's spelled more like Claddagh. I've only been to the one on the north side and it's pretty good. (very greasy!)
