OK, so it seems I'm crippled with respect to getting Windows 8 to behave rationally. Someone (I'll avoid names to protect the guilty) was kind enough to give me links to download the old offline character builder to my new computer (so I won't have to constantly go to my old one which is slaved...

Thanks. I still like the idea of building it myself, just to learn something. Guess it's time to hunt youtube for tutorials. Thanks.

Basically I just want to add the material that was released since the downloaded CB was "retired" for the crappy online-only CB. So, that's going to be just about everything including essentials, themes, 3 or 4 (if not more) books... So... I guess that means learning xml.

Someone told me it was one of the best Role-Playing sessions they'd had, after the DM completely rewrote it. Overall, however, I did enjoy the experience, and I think Scales of War is overall a good series (once you get through all the typos and bad monster information transfers). I had a lot...

I haven't done any programming since Pascal back in High School (html doesn't count as coding). So I'm a bit out of date (to put it mildly). If I want to update the 4e character builder that I downloaded way back when, what do I need to learn? What language? Suggestions? (Yes, it would be a...

The biggest rewrite needed is the big meeting to negotiate the various factions. It was horribly illogical and convoluted.

Hell no! I do not get involved with or interfere with anyone else's domestic arrangements. Ever. I suggest you learn what she wants you to do. Write it down and take notes if you have to. But that's only a suggestion.

Laundrey is not a task that requires mental activity (unless you're trying to memorize tags and materials for "optimal" settings). Phone numbers are a memory related task.

Yes, but it is always better to be less dependent on machines. If you just use the address book in the phone, you start to forget numbers. Then, if you need to call someone, but your phone is lost, or the battery is dead, or whatever, you can't get help by borrowing someone else's phone. Unless...

I do not give money, ever. I give my time. I give my skills. Basically, it has to be there, in front of me, when there is a chance I can actually meaningfully help someone. I stop to help people with flat tires. I've done web banners for a couple of sites and (hopefully) inspirational videos. I...

Stick with the "dumb" phone. Learn people's numbers. Never ever get the "smart" phone.

On the off chance anyone is even remotely interested, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bb6J38BjoY&feature=youtu.be.

Maybe you are simply much kinder and more generous than I am.

People here are very good about answering specific questions. We've had threads here where people post lists of 20 or more questions in a single post, and had the answers within an hour. (takes time to type sometimes) So post away. We'll get you answers, and hopefully take away some of the mystery.

They want to promote and sell the new 5E. Why would they want to make the old 4E stuff easy to find? It actually was completely missing for a day or two, according to one of my usual band of outcast gamers. Take that for what it is worth. In short: bad marketing decisions combined with bad...

I use my old 1e D&D lead minis. TSR, Grenadier & Ral Partha! I use my old 2e D&D lead and pewter minis. I use warhammer minis. I use pathfinder minis. I use lots of newer 3rd party metal minis. And I use Horror-Clicks (modified w better paint jobs and smaller bases). But that's not all. I make...

17 Inches Long! oh, only 10 Inches... Women have to put up with that kind of disappointment all the time... ;)
