The recording is just the sound, so it should work for any language. It's possible to change the interface of the pen, I believe, and the inferface in the Livescribe Desktop, to a variety of languages. Here's a link to their page of supported languages...

Years ago, I decided that an audio recording of a game session might be a cool thing to have. Game sessions are incredibly ephemeral events -- 6 hours pass with a lot of action, role playing, and laughter, and at the end of the day it's hard to remember everything that happened. And trying to...

Previous entries in this series: (part 1 | part 2|part 3) It happens like this: You prepare a whole session of adventuring on the island of lost souls, and when you start playing, the first thing your PCs do is decide to get the hell out of that scary haunted island and go back to town. All...

Hey -- Not sure if anyone has mentioned/noticed this yet. Dan Harmon, the writer and comic who created Community (and got canned last season) has a comedy podcast called Harmontown (link below) in which he's playing D&D. They only give it about 5-10 minutes per show, but they have guest...

Then I'll buy it. Thanks!

Previous entries in this series: (part 1 | part 2) Last time we talked about quick tech map solutions; today, we'll talk about dealing with monsters and NPCs. In a lot of ways, the challenges are the same. A prepared encounter can have nuanced challenges, teams of complimentary monsters that...

The most obvious thing for the dragon to do is go all trogdor on the countryside around the castle -- It will take a little while, but the dragon should burn everything within a few miles in any direction. Start a forest fire and feed it. Then you have to think about how the people in the...

I don't usually do more than instruct my PCs to come up with a reason why they're in a specific place when they meet up with the other PCs. But from time to time I'll try something different. My favorite alternative was a campaign I called "Dead Men" (started at paragon level). As part of...

Thanks! I hadn't seen Pyromancers before, I'll be checking it out. We use maptools, and have used that mostly for online games. I'm curious about a lot of the other options -- I'm planning to jump into online gaming in the future. I'm especially curious about some of the options that are...

+1 for spending dailies as early as possible/reasonable. The tactical side has a huge element of resource management, and spending a daily early has a good chance to end encounters/take out opponents earlier, which means they have less opportunity to deplete other resources (surges...

Let me ask you -- I'm a Prime member, and could buy it or borrow it -- if I borrow it, do you get anything? -j

I ran a long-term campaign years ago that used the Orbs of Dragonkind as the big organizing element. I added a bit to the orbs -- first of all, as I recall, I didn't think they were powerful enough. But the most important thing I did with the orbs was create a single telepathic connection...

Part of the problem stems from the assumption that a PC's knowledge about a creature is somehow related to the level of the creature. A creature like a dragon -- one that is iconic and has lore and study surrounding it for generations -- should be very easy to know some basic information...
