In my game it's not so much a choice as a requirement that NPCs have different character generation rules. With a family to raise and a > 40 hour per week job spending the time to generate NPCs the same way a PC is generated isn't really possible. That said, I do agree the rules should make it...

I ran into something similar a few years back. I had setup a temporary credit card using MBNA's Shop Safe. I gave it a credit limit just enough to cover what I wanted to buy. Apparently when the merchant did the initial authorization it lowered the amount of credit available. Then when the...

I suspect that in pretty much all the big bookseller cases it is a matter of a local mistake - I really doubt that as a corporate entity Barnes & Noble, for example, sees D&D 4e as such a major thing that they want to sneak ahead of the release date and undercut other retailers. It is probably...

A Borders in Massachusetts had a bunch of them this evening.

Parallels Desktop 3.0 Over the weekend I updated Parallels on my Mac to the newest version (3.0). Going through my drivers I noticed it has the WINE version of Directx 9.0c. That's no guarantee of working with Digital Initiative, but it is promising. DirectX 3D support can sometimes be a bit...

I wonder if you could steal a friend's virtual miniatures if you have access to his computer... Or maybe steal some of his character's equipment. Just plug in your memory stick while he's on a bathroom break... ;)

Some random thoughts... My on-hiatus group would be perfect for the digital initiative. We have one player who has moved out of state who would game with us via a combination of webcam/VoIP/IM. It works ok, but a program geared for playing D&D would be ideal. But... I (the DM), use a Mac...

I ran into the same issue. Guessing it is either a "not ready for primetime issue" or a browser based one (I'm using firefox)

Added email Quick bump to add an email address directly to the message. Feel free to also contact me at leptictidium1776-joinus@yahoo.com . If you are curious about the group writeups for the Star Wars games can be found at...

Hey all - Our gaming group would like to add an additional player. Currently we are playing Star Wars (Saga Edition). We do rotate games from time to time (and return to popular campaigns) - we've also played (and will most likely play again) D&D/Eberron and Mutants & Masterminds. Our group...

We're doing a Knights of the Old Republic game, set just before the Mandalorians began attacking Republic worlds. I've warned my players the history of the period is fragmentary and some of the official history might be a little mistaken... Last summer/fall I ran a Legacy game that was a lot...

I had given some thought once upon a time to a Delta Green game using the d20 Modern Rules. What I had planned on was having the characters all be something between ordinaries and heroic characters - removing action points and advanced classes but keeping the talent trees and bonus feats. For...

Due to some moves and impending marriage, our group is looking to add 1-2 players. (Darn real-world issues!) Our gaming group meets every other week on Thursday evenings in Marlborough, MA. We've played a variety of games (D&D, Star Wars, Serenity, and Werewolf being the most recent) and are...

Seems to be a recurring theme in Eberron games... :) In our game, there is a halfling ranger who goes everywhere with his Clawfoot, Fluffy. He has just gotten high enough level to make Fluffy an official animal companion (previously Fluffy was a purchased Clawfoot - as DM I allowed him to keep...

Morgaine - I've gotten some interest but at this point I am indeed still looking. Tomorrow I'll e-mail you (and others I've heard from) details about the group.

Not planning on it but it is possible if it really blows me away and everyone in the group wanted to.

I'm getting Boston-envy being living in the MetroWest area! Bad enough we are forgotten by Boston tv news broadcasts (especially during winter storms), but we have to make do with only a few game stores! :) That said, it's not that bad out here. I live pretty close to Spare Time Shop in...

Neither had I until a friend of mine in our gaming group had a party to go to after our game. He wasn't worried that the game ran late since he knew the party was in Marlboro - it couldn't take him more than 15 minutes to get there. After the game he pulls out the address to figure out how to...

In my Rebellion-era Star Wars game I noticed I got a ton of use out of the Dark Side Sourcebook - given one of the characters was a Jedi that's not too surprising. :) I think the Dark Side Sourcebook would be a good reference for a Knights of the Old Republic game - lots of information on the...

risenfenix24 - To kick things off I'd be DM-ing. I've been the main DM/GM for the group but we have had others run games from time to time so that might become an option over time. Just to clarify the location, I'm in the Marlborough off of 495 (close to where it meets with 290), not the...
