    Game Settings and Locales

    For me, nothing captures my imagination more than some out of the way little village, nestled in a lush forest thick with mist and shadow. It's one of those places that seems quaint but also a bit...off. Somewhat Sleepy Hallowesque if you will. I also like port cities as well. Being from a...

    Driving to Orlando Florida

    Of course we're simply breezing through our way to Disney World but meeting an EN Worlder would not be out of the question. If you're interested, we can arrange something.

    Driving to Orlando Florida

    Okay, so the wife and I have been planning to take our three kids to Disney World for the past year. We have saved and scrimped and finally it's all coming together. We are driving to Orlando from Stonewall Manitoba (which will take 4-5 days) As a result we will be stopping in some major cities...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo selling WoTC books

    Is it just me or does anyone else find it a bit odd that WoTC books are sold on Paizo's website? I mean, I know that it's a store (which came first before Pathfinder and the creation of their own RPG), and that they started out by selling their product in the first place but isn't it just a...

    Longest Board Game You Ever Played

    Last weekend, my friend and I started a new game of World in Flames. We decided to do a marathon weekend, playing both Saturday and Sunday. We started at the Sept/Oct 1939 turn and played both days for 12 hours each. We ended at the Jan/Feb turn of 1941. That's 24 hours of play and we managed 8...

    World in Flames

    If you're referring to the PC game, well there's is no such thing yet. In fact there is no release date concerning the game. But there is an active forums site where the developers reveal all of the steps they are taking to get the game right. It's been in development since 2006 under Matrix...

    World in Flames

    Yeah I saw that. It looks really good. I'm also looking forward to the PC version to be released by Matrix.

    World in Flames

    Like I said the game is a monster. Every possible unit is represented as well as each and every ship (not including merchant and convoy ships) that took place in both the European and Pacific theaters of war. Although the war starts in Sept 1939 with Germany invading Poland, things from there...

    World in Flames

    Thanks a lot Merric. I tried to give you XP but it won't let me for now. I checked out GBG.com before and have chatted with a few people about it. This game is a beast with over 4200 counters in the new edition coming out in 2011. But it's a ton of fum though.

    World in Flames

    I'm just starting to get into this mother of all WWII boardgames. A friend of mine invited me over to try the game which he had set up and I could not believe the extent that this game goes to simulate world war II. Any players of this game on these boards? I'm new to the game and would like...

    Interesting criticism I found about us "RPG guys".

    Flamewars on the internet certainly don't stop with just fans of a game/sport/movie/TV show/actor/musician or band. Professionals also fall victim to this behaviour. I belong to a forum called Blue Line which is a forum for Police Officers in Canada. You would think that there would be a sense...

    Hilarious webcomic on The Escapist

    I want to keep this thread alive because these webisodes are comedy gold. Sir Walken and Neebs crack me up and Doraleous' reactions to his adventuring group make him the perfect straight-man. Check it out!! Spread the word!!

    Big Bang Theory and the Dungeon Master's Guide

    My wife and I adore this show. My wife isn't a gamer either but she understands my idiosyncratic behaviour and gets Penny's point of view. The scene where she is brought to the comic book store for the first time is priceless because that's pretty much what happened with my wife each time I took...

    Episode/Season/Session vs Campaign

    I started to utilize the episodic format way back in the mid-nineties when I was running my Star Trek campaign. The whole thing was presented like an episode of ST:TNG including the teaser at the beginning and three three to four acts that one would find in a common script. We had a allot of fun...

    If Great Figures in History were Gamers

    When I have spare time and I'm not preparing for my Pathfinder group or playing a game of World in Flames with a friend of mine, my mind drifts and I wonder about odd things. For example.. If people in history (and I talking about influential people like Einstein, Hitler, Johanne Gutenberg...

    Other than vaguely European medieval fantasy...

    There was an old animated movie back in the 80's called Fire and Ice. It was based on the Frazetta look and feel but slanted heavily on the end of an ice age where humans were at the dawn of their reign and where neolithic cultures seemed to thrive as a sub-race. In addition, the movie 10,000...

    Hilarious webcomic on The Escapist

    Not sure if any one here has ever heard of this. It's a series of short animated episodes following the laugh-out-loud antics of this small group of adventurers called Doraleous and Associates as they set out to make a name for themselves. I gotta say, these animated shorts are too funny. Enjoy...
