Sounds like you've picked up some spyware. Here's a couple of links. The first discusses the program and offers a few different possible methods of removal. The second is one of the removal methods the first page links to. http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/win2000/t1072312997...

Thanks for the link. I just got started in a group a lot closer to home though, and have an invitation to join another, and that's just the right amount of gaming for me for the time being. However if I hear of anyone else who might be interested, I'll be sure to point them in your direction.

That's to be expected. Afterall, what's the point of giving a wish to someone (even a lowly NPC commoner whose every thought you control to the last detail) if you can't twist it against them? Yes, but any mortal foolish enough to ask the archangel of insurance for a wish really deserves...

Yeah, while the obvious twist on that one is for the women to die in war instead, it might be more fun to interpret "man" to be "human", so instead it's like: "Look, we just blasted 50 human commoners with a fireball and they're still alive!" Meanwhile a few miles away a dozen elves, a score...

I'll toss out some ideas brainstorming style and see if anything grabs or inspires you.... Enough wealth to last a lifetime without ever working again. No man to ever die in war again. Someone to take care of all the village's widows and orphans. No weapons to ever again be forged in the...

I miss the look and the feel of older editions. Not just the art, but the types of paper used, the way the books felt to hold, the scent and texture of the paper. I miss books that are laid out like books, not like final projects from the School of Gaudy Web Design (complete with background...

This sounds broadly similar to something I recall reading about when I was going through my eastern philosophy phase. That's been a while, but I'll try to explain it as best I can (Astralpwka might find this idea a useful jumping off point for what he's trying to achieve as well). The idea is...

Got any tips for someone trying to learn to lucid dream? In the fifteen years or so since I first heard about lucid dreams, I've managed exactly three. I often have moments in my dreams where I question if I'm dreaming (particularly if I'm having one of my recurring dreams), but I always...

I almost went with "hobbits" there, but somehow at the time "elves" seemed the funnier choice. That is very cool. Nifty how the elves get back their traditional folkloristic immortality, but not in a good way. Be interesting to see the impact on their society. I'm guessing they'd become...

If you were writing a story rather than a campaign, I'd suggest running with the phrase "you never know what you have until it's gone." You've got Death, which is also loss. So having one of the characters lose something or someone, which makes them realize after the fact that they loved...

Just gonna toss out some stuff brainstorming style and see if anything grabs or inspires you. Fields of Fog (or Foggy Fields) Tír Laoch ("Hero Land" in Irish Gaelic) The Soggy South Domains of Danger (or Dangerous Domains) The Dark Valley Humanity's Last Stand Dampland! Again (sic) the Giants...

No one else seems to be working on this, and I didn't have anything better to do tonight, so I got the Classic Settings section added to the new links page. Here's my list of Classic Settings sites from the old page that are closed, dead or won't load. (I'll keep posting these if I do anymore...

Tangential Sites Useful to Gamers Is Done I've finished entering the links to Tangential Sites Useful to Gamers into the new page. I've got a bunch of notes on this one. My Mistakes I messed up a couple of entries: Ancient Egypt: Ships & Boats: I left out the url the first time, so made a...

I've finished with the Game Designer's Sites section. A few notes. Gary Gygax's listed site at www.gygax.com now redirects to http://www.stop-in.ch/ . I Googled a bit and couldn't find a current official site for him, so left him out. I added links for Stan! and Jonathan Tweet which weren't...

I'm working on the Game Designer's Personal Sites. Morrus, I was wondering about Monte Cook's site though. I wasn't sure if it would still be considered a Designer's Personal Site, or if it is more of a Publisher's Site, since Monte has content on there that makes it seem like both.

When I lived in Cary it seemed like you couldn't swing a cat without hitting a bunch of D&D players. Have you tried rpgregistry.com? I've been searching there recently for players in my own area of NC, and have noticed quite a few people in the Raleigh/Durham area who are looking for games.

Much appreciated, Pielorinho. I'm not afraid of a commute, so even if you know of groups in Hendersonville, Waynesville, or Brevard who might need a player, I'd appreciate you pointing them my way. I have, although my timing has so far been off in trying to get started with them. I made it...

With only a single player I expect you'll probably be doing more roleplaying than might be the case in a larger group, so you could use that to your advantage. When she meets someone have them ask to exchange news. That gives you an opportunity to drop in little tales and rumors of Elminster...

Thanks Piratecat. I'm appreciative of any help in finding a group. I'm jonesin' bad for some D&D just now.

I want to play D&D again and am in need of a group to game with. It's been about a year and a half since I last played, so I'm a bit rusty just now and haven't upgraded to 3.5, although I'm willing to. I'm available to play weekends and most evenings, and prefer games that have a balance of...
