I've recently done something very similar, also due to a complete lack of time and the birth of my daughter 10 months ago. I basically sat down and looked at all my comics, games, and other bits of geekdom and realised that I didn't need 95% of them, and didn't even particularly want about 50%...

errr...sorry To be honest I was just messing about and couldn't work out what I was doing and so just quit. I didn't realise this would cause a problem. The whole RPG thing seems a bit beyond me so I wont be venturing there again. Again I apologise.

Rugby league was invented in a hotel about 4 miles away from my house. Now isn't that interesting. League is generaly more popular in the north of England, and Union in the south. Rugby's a lot more popular in England since we won the world cup. However it will never compair to the...

I've started collecting those free internet provider discs that fall out of magazines. For some reason I've got it into my head that they are going to be worht something in 50 years time (working on the principle that the _really- collectable stuff is culturally significant things that people...

We generaly wear pants in the Newshound forum, of course we do wear them on our heads.

I prefer it on the main page as well to be honest, though as a sci-fi newshound type person (allbeit a part time one who only tends to report on Dr Who) I perhaps have a vested interest. In fact, I kind of miss the more cluttered main page.

I occasionally teach at the local university and I'm convinced that my DM'ing experience is invaluable. Not only has it given me the confidence to speak publically but it has given me the skills to handle a group who's concentration is lapsing and also developed my thinking on the fly skills.

I'm currently making a D20 modern website for my players. As non of them particularly want to buy the books I'm planning on basically replicating chunks out of the d20 modern SRD on the website (i.e. the classes and feats so as they can make character advancement decisions without fighting over...

I went to New York last year on holiday and we took a tourist ferry that went all around the island of Manhattan. When we went past the statue of liberty they put this awful soft rock ballad about how great America was, it was so cheesy that my wife and I had extreme difficulty in not busting...

I personally have never noticed any bias on EN world’s roleplaying news page, but then again I don't actually go anywhere else for my RPG news so for all I know WotC could be at this very point planning to give away copies of all its books free to anyone who sends a stamped addressed envelope...

I'm a big fan of Die Hard 3 myself, although I once heard a rumor that it was actually meant to be a Lethal Weapon film. Speaking of Mel Gibson, I also liked Mad Max 2.

These really are excellent, you have inspired me sir!

We use a home made table, which is basically a load of MDF painted white and with a grid drawn on it. Then there is a layer of toughened glass over the top. We find it works really well. We use dry erase markers to draw on it. For counters I make my own by scanning in pictures from the...

I'm using the blackout as a convenient way of getting my characters out of a sticky situation. In our upcoming urban arcania game the players (who have only just become aware of shadow) are going to get put in a psychiatric hospital for gibbering about seeing a bunch of bugbears. I intend to...

I've read a few posts advising people to wear shorts in order to keep cool. While this will obviously help I would add the caution that you would be exposing yourself to the possibility of skin cancer. My mother grew up in australia and spent a good deal of time exposed to the sun, as a direct...

Talisman is the best.. boardgame.. ever.. Or at least the one i enjoyed the most. The orignial was better but it costs a fortune these days so the new one is a good alternative.

I gotta get me one of those lamp fairys!

mine is a pigeon. Because my name is pigeon I'm a pretty unsophisticated guy at heart.

I seem to remember that there was a roleplaying game that did this sort of thing - a King Arthur type thing when each session took place a year from the last one. Pendragon maybe? I can't remember. Anyhow, my advice would be link the PC's with a specific land/country, and have them rise up to...
