    Hey, in New England? Free this weekend?

    Wouldn't you know it...I grew up in Maine and lived there for 28 years-but, well, now I don't. :( Freezing winters vs. hurricanes...(I wonder if I still have my parka...) Sounds like a lot of fun...enjoy!

    New to D&D and becoming a DM

    Welcome aboard! A lot of people use minis and a lot of people don't. I wouold suggest picking up a starter box of Harbinger minis ($19.99) if you can find one and using the gridded map in the box along with the minis. If you like it, buy some more. If not, you're out $20, but have a map at least...

    What to do?

    Yeah, the game wasn't that good, but I'll give it another shot. The schedule thing though...It will be tough to leave Shawn out in the cold. The other thing dealing with inconsistency, I'll have a talk with him and if it continues to be a problem, then I'll fix-one way or another...

    What to do?

    I am a player-most of the time I DM, though... Lack of commitment by some of the players almost lead to our demise... I like lower magic, grittier settings (Conan, IK, etc.)... The person who is the DM now is also the most unreliable-What happens when he doesn't show?

    What to do?

    Two things wrong with that plan: 1) Good group sans newbies-the jury is still out on them; 2) Groups don't grow on trees around here. Heck, trees don't even grow around here after all of the hurricanes. So, this is not an option. Thanks, though...

    What to do?

    Here's the situation: We played Eberron for the first time last week and I really wanted to like it. I really, really did. But I don't. The only other time I felt this way was when I ran Midnight and I had the exact same feeling. :( Here's the problem: We just got two new players into the...

    Good DM screen, anyone?

    The DM's screen for Kenzer Co. is 3.5 and is about the best thing since sliced bread. It has about 16 panels (even a pizza topping matrix!) and has all the information you could ever need. It's even laminated for more durability...

    If you could try a RPG that ISN'T D&D...

    I'm kind of lucky-I'm the GM for most of the time, so we play the games I want to play. ;) If I had the "perfect" group (defined as "they show up and want to game"), I would like to play: Feng Shui-We are playing that now Call of Cthulhu (Delta Green) Conan-We've played this a couple of times...

    Dark•Matter bouncing ideas around thread -- Detroit Gamedayers stay out!!

    Your idea sounds so great that...I used it two years ago for the Tampa Game Day! :cool: I used Spycraft for the rules engine and my premise was a little different (Antarctica base that hasn't reported in for 5 days, but the vilains are mutants ala Resident Evil). Definitely watch The Thing and...

    T1-4, ToEE - What the crap?!

    Get the players to Hommlet; let them interact for awhile; then start to spring the "evil most foul" upon them. Any good guy worth his salt will take it from there...And if they dont, the ToEE is a dungeon with plenty of critters, gold and magic to be had...

    Another Hurricane....where do enworlders evacuate to?

    At this point, with Ivan on its way and another stacking up behind it, I just said to heck with it. Charley blew away most everything and the rest of them are just incredibly long rainstorms. I hope this doesn't jinx me or anything... :cool:
