    Help Me With Cursed/Posessed Bloodycap Dwarf Idea, Please.

    Hey all. I am thinking of using a alternate version of the Powerie, aka the "Bloody Caps." I was thinking of running a game in my "dwarven campaign" in which the heroes are called to check in on a mining community a few days hard walk through the mountains. This community would be a satellite...

    Chicago Gameday XI is 7/9: Planning thread!

    If you mean about doing a sign-up thread, I would say to not even bother until mid-June or so. Three to four weeks is plenty of time.

    Hehehe. Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing a RPG that had a task resolution system that used Jenga.

    Chicago Gameday XI is 7/9: Planning thread!

    While I feel obligated to do so...having opened my (big fat) mouth about the idea...i won't! HA! ;) Seriously, I have my games set in my mind and BUZZ and THALMIN will hit me on the dome with frozen tunas and salmons were I to change my entry's yet again. ;) Maybe the next Game Day I will do a...

    Chicago Gameday XI is 7/9: Planning thread!

    Just to be clear, when someone orders and sets-up a "game day" there is NO fee, for anyone. The games are FREE to play. To those who are interested, and have RPGA memberships, my buddy found out that DUNGEON Magazine adventures can also count to your "RPGA points." For me, I could care less...

    Chicago Gameday XI is 7/9: Planning thread!

    Yeah, I get what you mean. Although I guess the Devil's Advocate in me would be to question how much socializing we tried to do with them. I will be the first to admit that I don't go out of my way to talk with everyone...but then I am usually too busy doing final stuff for my games. I do...

    Chicago Gameday XI is 7/9: Planning thread!

    Reid, this is not against you in particualr, you just happened to have made the comment. I SO am against that attitude. You may not like the RPGA (and I may or may not) but I don't see the Game Day "restricting games" based on the fact that it is RPGA or not as being a GOOD thing at all (or...

    Just where did the whole "Pirate versus Ninja" phenomenan begin?

    There's really no "vs", it's just the Pirates trying to make themselves seem to be more then they are. Pathetic really, everyone with a lick of common sense knows that pirates are just loser cry babys who, combined, couldn't match up to a single ninja. Makes you you want to throw a pitty party...

    Chicago Gameday XI is 7/9: Planning thread!

    Actually it is very quite easy. You make up three encounters for a game, though you'll likely only use two of them, a few pre-made characters and just drop the group in the middle of something. These games are not about plot they are about an encounter or two at most. As for the GM's explaining...

    Chicago Gameday XI is 7/9: Planning thread!

    This is REALLY just off the top of my head, but what about maybe a "table" that does a 3 hour game of which 4 could be run (two in the morning, two in the afternoon)? Obviously, that's not a lot of time, but if it were limited to say four players and had pre-made charactersm it might make for a...

    Chicago Gameday XI is 7/9: Planning thread!

    First off, I won't give away spoilers. I enjoyed it. Very much so. I can't wait for it to be September, just so I can see it again, for the first time. (Since this was not the finished edit.) Joss had a "thank you" presentation (on screen, he wasn't there) that was really cool.

    Here's the trailer for SERENITY... http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/serenity/serenity_large.html ...just in case folks want a idea of what the game is about or like. BTW, I will be seeing a advanced screening of the movie tomorrow. Yay!

    Give me an "edumacation" on DVD Recorders, please.

    Hey everyone, thanks for your posts. I like the idea of recording to a HD and then having the option to burning it onto a DVD. My goal would be to make sure I can watch it on my laptop, though, when I am on the commute or on buisness (or whatever). There's a fe wmore shows I would love to...

    Give me an "edumacation" on DVD Recorders, please.

    Woo! Is there a special prize for stumping ENWorld with a inquiry/call for aid? :p

    Chicago Gameday XI is 7/9: Planning thread!

    I agree Mark. The longer the thread for game sign ups is there, the more chance of folks needing to drop out or other hazards coming up. Don't push Murphy, he'll put it where the sun doesn't shine. Sideways. I would like to see the sign up thread start about 3 weeks before July 9 at most, but...

    Cops meets DnD

    The "criminal" in that is played by Patton Oswalt. If you got a chance to see him, take it. He's fricken hysterical.

    Give me an "edumacation" on DVD Recorders, please.

    Hi all. I was thinking about investing in a DVD recorder for my TV. I have Comcast Cable, if that means anything. What I am looking for is something to "tape" (Record onto DVDs) shows I might not be able to watch when they are on and be able to maybe take them with me to watch when I am on a...
