    Here's why the RPGA has failed me

    I'm not Tinner, but here's a few things that makes the RPGA hard for me to use. 1. Not having a RPGA games near me. I live in Dallas, Texas and the nearest RPGA game for me is in Garland. I do have a car and can provide my own means to get there, but Garland seems to be pretty far away when...

    What do they do with the copper and silver?

    I think most players at first like to get all the pieces of Gold, Silver, Copper and Platinum they can get their hands on. As they get more experience in playing they may get a bit jaded with a lot of copper pieces and a lot less of the silver and gold. In the game that I played in, the money...

    The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

    In a word, no. We have gotten something bewteen 3 & 4 automated phone calls announcing this one person's campaign for a government position over the past week, and the latest one came about an hour after the last one. The last one was when I was trying to make dinner and I almost burned my food...

    Do you buy D&D Minis?

    I said the second one, but I really only have one, and that is Aspect of Tiamat. I would like to buy more, but some of the ones that I want for RPG's I might play in the future are just too expensive because they have been out of print for so long, and are only available on the secondary...

    What's your favorite takeout?

    I guess there's only one place around me that qualifies as take-out and is not a chain and that is Egg Roll Express. Best Chinese food ever that is not a buffet. That and they have actual egg rolls rather than spring rolls that many places around here use and call egg rolls. For things like...

    "Previously on..." - Recapping the previous session

    I'm not a GM, but in one of the games I used to play we always had a player go over what happened last time in the game. The game was only once a month and we always had new players come in so it gave them a good start to the game. We tried to keep it to about two minutes. See my answer to the...

    Whiney players....

    As someone who has only been on the Players side of the DM screen, and want's to try out his DMing prowress in the future, I'm going to try to stay balanced on my comment's without leaning to one side or the other. I understand that a whining player is bad for everyone involved and sometimes...

    ROBOTECH RPG - its back, and its new

    I'm only 30 years old and I don't think I need readers yet. Granted, without my glasses I cannot see the big letter on the eye chart. I suppose I should get off my behind and make an appointment with an eye doctor. It's been something like 18 months since my last visit and I should really go...

    ROBOTECH RPG - its back, and its new

    Looking at the Press Release I clicked through on the link that someone posted on the previous page and here's some of the stuff that sticks out to me: The art at the top of the page is neat. There's something that looks like a Cyclone Battler with some kind of laser rifle in its right hand...

    Seeking players for Star Wars: Dawn of Defiance

    I'm looking for players to get together to play the Star Wars: Dawn of Defiance Campaign being put out by Wizards of the Coast. I'm more than willing to be a Game Master, but I'm going to be new at it so I need some people who are a bit patient. Ideally you should be a mature gamer, have a...

    ROBOTECH RPG - its back, and its new

    Well this is good news. I've been wanting to let my inner Robotech geek out. The only thing I don't like is that the first books is based on The Shadow Chronicles. A 192-page manga-sized trade paperback? This seems more like a gimmick to me. I can't stand small books. My eyes are not as good...

    One piece of advice...

    Most of mine come from video games, songs or movies. "There is no knowledge that is not power" - Smoke "Mortal Kombat II" "Speak the truth, or make your peace some other way." - Godsmack "Speak" "I don't care what you believe, just believe it." - Shepherd Book "Serenity" "I do what I like...

    Tiefling as a core race?

    I'm not that into introducing new races that much Tiefling's as a core race I'm still waffling on. If I knew more about Tiefling's in the D&D game then I might be able to judge it better, but for right now it just sounds like some fan's pipe dream. I'm tired of having half-races. That's why...

    [Rant] Do editing/proofreading errors drive you mad, too?

    I have only purchased two or three third party books, mostly by Mongoose Publishing, and found they gave me headaches. I really did not notice the bad spelling and grammar, but I'm guessing the bad spelling is the reason why. That or the font is just bad. One could be the cost to produce the...

    Your favourite non-core spells?

    Two just off the top of my head that I like from the Spell Compendium: Greater Mage Armor - 2 Points more to the Mage Armor Bonus (Making it a +6) and you get it at Caster Level 3. Mass Mage Armor - Good for helping out party members that have little or no armor. Like other lower level...

    The Case of the Shrinking Cadbury Eggs

    I can't vouch for the Creme Egg thing because I don't eat those anymore, (Devil Woman gave me Diabetes!) but things have been shrinking and costing the same price recently. I was let down back in the late 90's that soda distributors stopped selling six packs of 20oz bottles of soda at grocery...

    The Case of the Shrinking Cadbury Eggs

    The local (at least for Texas) ice cream company, Blue Bell, has kept their ice cream in the 1/2 Gallon container. I don't know if it costs more or not since we only get it when it's on sale. Otherwise I just get Ice Cream Sandwiches from the Wal-Mart Grocery. A package of 12 Ice Cream...

    Designing a Setting Using D&D D20 OGL

    I don't want legal advice, if I wanted that I would consult a Lawyer friend of mine that I knew in High School. I'll have to look for the OGL STL. I have the SRD in a zip file on my Hard Drive that I got from the Wizards web site. I think I'll just keep the class names instead of trying to...

    Designing a Setting Using D&D D20 OGL

    Hi everyone, I hope that I'm posting this in the right place, so if I'm not then mods please move it so I know where I can post for future reference. Let's say that I wanted to design a setting for the D&D 3.5 using the OGL/SRD (I'm not sure which one I should use) to publish on the Internet...

    Picture of the day.

    You know what's funny; I can almost see that happening. Although with a bag of bread rather than money. And That is so cute I just felt my blood sugar go up 50 points. That's all, Mr. Beef
