    Wizards Digital Initiative Moving Forward

    I just forwarded this to a friend who is perfect for the job, and he's a Mac user. In fact he converted me and I've never loved an inanimate object before, but my Mac is freakin awesome. Edward Kopp

    What 3rd Party D&D Companies Are Left?

    I started out replying to jdrakeh in this thread, but my response had become such an epic thread jack that I felt that to preserve our civil society I would start a new thread and not disturb those who are discussing who is still publishing d20 material. You can find my response here.

    Arcanis World Book (w/ my prognostications)

    I started out replying to jdrakeh in the thread where we were, but my response had become such an epic thread jack that I felt that to preserve our civil society I would start a new thread and not disturb those who are discussing who is still publishing d20 material. Have you ever met Henry...

    What 3rd Party D&D Companies Are Left?

    Paradigm Concepts,Inc. is still publishing d20 material for it's Arcanis line. The most recent releases are Theocracy of Canceri and Forged in Magic: Revised and Expanded. There is still Censure: Jewel of the Coast and City of Thieves coming out (soon?) as well as an Arcanis World book, a high...

    Highlights of D&D!

    Thank you for the explination. I guess I've been doing that unconsciously when I'm DMing. As soon as you explained it I understood it and realized what you meant. It is far easier to make thse kind of calls on the fly with d20. I ran an Arcanis adventure (The Carnival of Swords) that opens the...

    Highlights of D&D!

    Could you please help me what you mean by this, especially the last sentance. There was never a reason to take any math above pre-calculus for philosophy or nursing majors, of which I am both. But I can for see the need to take a statistics class by the time I complete my Masters in nursing. As...

    How many of you came close to selling off your stuff?

    I threw away a whole lot of Magic cards in '99 after realizing how much my obsession four years earlier had been instermental in the end of a very important relationship. Though criss crossing the country and circumnavigating the the globe in the Navy, I have never thrown out a gaming book. I've...

    [Competition] Vote for your favourite map!

    Oi vey! I'm in a quandry. As a DM I would want to have different maps for different reasons. I want to have the maps by HALL to hang or project on a wall. I want the map by PBartender as handout sized maps for me and the players the first time their PCs buy a map of the land. I would want to...

    What third-party d20 settings should I investigate?

    The city of Freeport is also an important part of the Arcanis setting. Early on in 3ed PCI and Green Ronin collaborated on a few projects. There was the Interlink series from PCI and GR that combined "Hammer & Helm" w/ "Lords of the Peaks", "Wrath & Rage" w/ "Eldest Sons" and "Plot & Poinson" w/...

    What third-party d20 settings should I investigate?

    HOORAY FOR LOVE OF ARCANIS! Yes, the Codex Arcanis seems to be exactly what you're looking for. Before you buy it go rent a copy of "GLADIATOR" becuase Arcanis: the World of Shattered Empires steps away from the normal Western European/Medieval tropes and takes it's inspiration for the Coryani...

    Can you give a brief explination of what the positions entail? I'm not enabled for PM, seems my membership has run out or something. Respectfully, Edward Kopp UKon Coordinator www.warhorn.net/ukon2007/

    Financial Grants for gaming groups from WOTC?

    At UK we have a faculty advisor as required by the university. And as far as red tape, ever try to fill out a grant for government funding of research? WotC's grant application will be easy compared to academic grants.

    Financial Grants for gaming groups from WOTC?

    The Miskatonic Student Union at University of Kentucky is applying for one of these grants. If we are awarded any grant we will most likely put it towards the cost of attending GenCon. We run a convention to raise funds to pay for rooms, a grant would help defray the cost of badges, which would...

    What is THE NEXT BIG THING?

    I think I missed that discussion. I agree with your estimation of what a 1/2 day of my time is worth. I am a part time fine dining waiter. I won't work any place where I'd make less than $100 a shift. $150 is an average night for me. If I work a six hour shift I am averaging $25 an hour. This is...

    Iconic Dragon Minis - For Use In Game Or Just A Display Piece?

    I do both. They are on display and I use them for play. I am using the D&D 20th Level Dragon Challenge with these pre-gens. It's lots of fun and bypasses the many months waiting for PCs to level up.

    What is THE NEXT BIG THING?

    JVisgaitis, I would love to have the online product support to be able to professionally run games. But it's at conventions is where I see the oppurtunity to change the hobby. Create an online ranking system so all participants can anonymously give feed back on their session. Ranking of DMs...

    What is THE NEXT BIG THING?

    Outside the Box I'm suprised I haven't seen any mention of how to make the gaming experinece a more fully integrated part of a persons entertainment budget. My experience within the resturant & hospitality business is that if you have a quality product and aren't seeing the sales you expect...

    What is THE NEXT BIG THING?

    Because Wal-mart will insist on a lower price point for the games (again and again), which will drive WotC/Hasbro's profits down. It is often NOT a good idea to have your product sold at Wal-mart, just ask Rubbermaid. That said, I bought Ebberon through the Wal-mart estore and got it 45% off...
