I think this is very true. I see Psion's point when he says that the battlemat is an "artificial measuring tool", but on the other hand a person's mind and imagination are very subjective measuring tools. It all depends on how much you want emphasize the 'fairness' and explicit tactical elements...

While I don't think 3E dictates a certain style of play, I do feel that it encourages a certain style of play. There's quite a big difference between the two. If you prefer using a lot supplements to run your game I do think you'll find that these do nudge you in the "preferred" direction; an...

Heh, I love the "Fantastic Locations" series. Different strokes and all that I guess... I voted for Cityscapes to be booted, because it was a potentially very useful supplement that failed to deliver.

They don't make money directly, but it grows their userbase. That's great for marketing purposes. It also makes it all the more likely that you'll use your Google account to IM on Google Talk, use the google.com/ig personalized homepage, on Google Groups, Adsense, Adwords etc. Oh, and you'll...

I like the preview, I just picked up Fane of the Drow and for me the adventure is merely a bonus. Those maps do look great though.

Well my DM folder is really both what's in my actual paper folder and on my laptop. In it are: PC Info: Character sheets, notes, art etc. NPC Info: Stats and notes of NPCs the players have encountered or are going to encounter. Locations: Maps and note of the places the PCs have been. Session...

Why? Freddie was bisexual, which is really not the same as being gay.

I voted neither but the Jonathan Coulton cover of "Baby Got Back" is hilarious.

I had the same thing, I had vaguely heard of a fantasy game called D&D but I really had no idea what it was. Where would you buy such a game? I remember we had to actually take the train to another city to get our first D&D books, because none of the stores in our city had any D&D products.

Players and their characters often have goals beyond resolving the main campaign story arc. An after-session gives the player the opportunity to do something with those goals. You could just narrate that, but I'd prefer to give the players a lot of input. And there's no better way to do that...

The coming year will mark my 10-years-of-roleplaying anniversary. What better time to return to where it all started, D&D? I can remember quite clearly how it all started. I'm part of the internet generation, so my first encounter with D&D was with a .pdf demo adventure. I rounded up some...

Yes. I'll add the Maltese Falcon, North by Northwest, Rebecca, Chinatown, Magnolia, and *ehm* Cocktail (I can't help it, I love that film). Oh, and Dirty Dancing too. :o

Something like this? The results will probably be sub-optimal, but it is worth a try.

I have one invite left,pop me an e-mail with first and last name at j.reutelingsperger*at*gmail.com. First come, first served as well of course.

Well I really like this online series of guitar lessons:http://guitar.about.com/od/freebeginnerlessons/ . Of course a lot of this stuff may be familar to you, but it never hurts to brush up on the basics.

A belated 'happy birthday !!' from me as well.

Well ,I don't really see a causal link between being a gamer and suffering from love-shyness. The Wikipedia entry say that 1.5 % of male population suffers from this. Gamers are still predominantkly male I'd wager, but really I know many men who aren't gamers who have problems with getting and...

A lot of goals for the Dutch you mean ;)

Sheesh !! Since when is that more important than soccer ! ;) Too bad for Rooney though, the man of the tournament so far.

I say England has a fair chance to win as does the Czech Republic. France just isn't playing very well this tournament. But really any team that's still in the tournamnt has a chance of winning..even the Dutch :).
