For a while now, I've been kicking around the idea of making one-page (double-sided) RPGs that a person could give away to anyone who is curious about the hobby - or leave in a conspicuous place for someone to come along and pick up. Sort of like the idea behind Bookcrossing. Something short &...

That is a fantastic way to put it. I'm doing it that way from now on, and with your permission (and credit), I'd like to borrow that idea for The Escapist.

Rats. Nobody knows? Not even Chessex or Zocchi or anyone? I was certain someone here would know... I seem to remember seeing some D6s and maybe even a D8 in the original pics. It'd be cool to have replicas of those, too.

Remember that ancient 20 sided die that went up for auction a year or so ago - the one that EVERYONE posted a link to for three or four weeks? Sorry to post another, but I was wondering - is anyone making a reasonably priced replica of that die? I'm just thinking it would be cool to have. And...

I've been mostly 'dry' for a good 7 years now - no regular game night and group since 1997. I have been lucky enough to catch a game at the odd convention or two (actually, that'd be precisely TWO conventions since 1997, now that I think of it). My sitch is mainly due to time constraints (the...

Someone - I think it was Sandy from RPGnet - once suggested photocopying pictures of monsters in the MM and other gaming books and stapling the pages together to make a monstrous coloring book to keep kids occupied while you're gaming. Just a neat tip I wanted to pass along. - DocAwk

And I'm ashamed of myself for NOT noticing it... Man, that just makes this pic even better. I -MUST- have a poster of it! - DocAwk

...needs to be a poster. A big one. You know the one I mean. It's the two-page ad in the front of the latest Dragon and Dungeon mags. The one with a bunch of classic D&D characters having a brawl-fest in a tavern, while a guy in the back is climbing the statue from the original Player's...

Lots of memories of the Keep - but the one that stands out the most is not what happened in the game, but where we played it. When I got my first D&D set , my best friend and I played EVERYWHERE - no matter where we were, there was some RPGing going on. At the time, my stepfather had a boat...

Wuh-hooooo! $500 order coming your way from RPGShop! They heard about your story through my post in the GIN forum. Now I'm off to buy some dice from them to put in my kids' dice bags, just as a thank you... - DocAwk

I've sent a meager little something your way, along with my thoughts. I've been where you are now, and I pulled through. You'll probably do better than I did. Remember that. Also, I'm linking to this thread in RPGnet Tangency and some other gaming forums, to give your plight a little more...

I ALWAYS have a gaming book of some kind with me. I don't use public transportation, but I am never found without something game related, no matter where I am. (Okay, there may be SOME exceptions...) Funny related story that just happened - a co-worker walked through my office today and...

Gary, This is Bill Walton from The Escapist (www.theescapist.com) - I've spoken to you a couple of times before. I've heard tell that you were called as an expert witness in a trial a couple of years ago, and that the trial had some kind of connection with gaming. Is there any truth to this...

Heh. Yeah, that's me. I chuckle because I've been fighting off pneumonia for the last two weeks - so "tireless" isn't quite the word for me right now. Still, the kind words are always appreciated. Thanks! - DocAwk

I've got an idea for something I've been wanting to add to The Escapist for some time now: War Stories. This would be a collection of anecdotes from people who have encountered some form of negativity towards gaming, and neutralized it or even turned it into a positive. A good example would be...
