    Best Version of Call of Cthulhu

    Hmmm... so now I'm divided! I think that if I ran a game, I would want it to be in the 1930's-ish time era, and wouldn't want it to be Indiana Jones-like at all. I've always liked horror games so I would want to run it like that, like a combat-lite Ravenloft or something. So, do only certain...

    Best Version of Call of Cthulhu

    That's true... So I just got done looking at a bunch of stuff online for this game, and it looks really good. Does it keep the same feel as the other cthulhu games, though?

    Best Version of Call of Cthulhu

    I'm interested in possibly trying out Call of Cthulhu, but I'd like to play the best edition of the rules. I know that the most recent version is 6th, but what is the best, in your opinion, and why?

    Which Dungeon Tiles Are From Which Sets?

    Wow, great replies everybody. Those links have helped me a lot, and I now know which ones I don't have! Turns out there was only one, Dire Tombs. Word!

    Which Dungeon Tiles Are From Which Sets?

    Is there a way to tell which dungeon tiles are from which sets? An online tool or something (hopefully)? I ask because I want to catch em all, and have already caught some, but can't remember which specifically. Also, I've already popped them all out of the cardboard sheets, so if there's...

    Computer Problem Fixed! Thanks!

    Everything is fixed! I just got all new parts. Ah well. I was planning on upgrading soon anyway, so I just pushed that up a little bit. Everything is fine now! Thanks everybody!

    Computer Problem Fixed! Thanks!

    New Problem! So, I got a new power supply. I was getting ready to upgrade a lot of my computer's parts, and something else happened just the other day. It had been on for about a day, and I was getting ready to do something on it. I sat down, and it just powered off completely, and wouldn't...

    Cool! Hey, sorry I've been gone for awhile. I was just vacationing in Tokyo for almost 2 weeks with my wife, but I'm back now. I actually won't be able to make it to Game Day this year (much to my disappointment). We're going to be in Las Vegas for my wife's dad's birthday. How's the game...

    Touch Spells and Holding Charge

    Well, outside of the visuals thing, this is what I remember the PHB saying about it... "You can hold the charge indefinitely. If you attack and miss, you're still holding the charge. However, while holding the charge, if you touch someone, even accidentally, the spell discharges." So, the...

    Touch Spells and Holding Charge

    I'm a little bit confused. It says in the PHB that YOU hold the charge, not your hand or whatever. And if your familiar transfers the spell, the familiar doesn't exactly have "hands" anyway... so what part of him actually delivers the spell?

    Touch Spells and Holding Charge

    A quick read during our session didn't provide any answers, so I ask (all of this is asked in the context of Shocking Grasp): You cast a touch spell. You immediately make an attack roll to hit someone with it, and miss. The charge is held, and next round you can make another attack roll to...

    I'm not sure, I guess... I mean, I've only played with these guys once, and I'm not actually running the game in this group. Two of the guys are leaving in two months, anyway, so we will need more players, or the remaining players will need a group. For me, off of Dysart and the I-10, I'm a...

    Dang... so, down in Chandler? If you're in that area, you should definitely check out a couple of the stores, except that groups you meet in stores only ever play in the stores. And really, its not that bad. If you find a store that's set up for it, it's not bad at all (IE, a store that...

    Well, I guess we will have to wait for Arkhandus and Joe to post to figure out what's up, but here's a summary of the scoop: Arkhandus has a regular Saturday game at Mana Werks, which is about half an hour north of I-10. I live almost ON the 10, so somewhere closer is better for me. We were...

    So, what's up? Did you guys play Saturday?

    I'm not actually upset at all, and I'm sorry if I gave the impression that I was. However, it isn't really all about this one thing... there are a few other things factoring in here, which I'm not afraid to tell you guys about. So here they are! :) 1) I really don't like Mana Werks at all...

    Well, with all this planning, I feel bad about this, but it just seems like the best course of action. I'll drop from the consideration of the games at ManaWerks. I'll get with the guys that I mentioned before (that might want to come and play) and see if they want to get anything together...

    Well, I wrote this long post, but I'm at work, so I had a lot of time to think about it before I actually posted it. So, here's the shorter, more direct version. I'm willing to give Erik a chance. When it comes down to it, if I had to make a decision without actually knowing him, I would...
