    Metal School

    Shark Island? Wow...reminds of my youth hanging out on the Sunset Strip. Did they make it out to San Antonio before or after Law of the Order? Man...I loved those guys.

    PSP - got one now :)

    I'd recommend Jeanne d'Arc if you like turn based strategy style games. I have D&D Tactics but haven't spent more than an hour with it yet. My first impression was that it was a bit clunky...

    Thoughts on attending my first Ren Faire

    So the fiance and I went to a Rennesaince Faire this last weekend, which somehow in 30 or so years of nerd-dom was the first that I've managed to attend. It was way different than I expected. Among my basic thoughts: 1. It felt like the Ren Faire is more for the people who are putting it on...

    OD&D 4 me (April Fools)

    ABC Afternoon special? Was this a skit put on by the moderators to show us how silly we look when we snipe, snide, and snark at each other? Cause...well...it got the point across to me, even if unintentional...

    D&D 4E What 'new' rules would you like to see in 4e?

    Similar to the "Fighting Styles" request...I just want some sort of mechanical differentiation between weapons that makes it worthwhile to use less popular weapons (i.e. not longsword, bastard sword, greataxe). If there isn't room for separate feats or effects for each weapon, then I'm inclined...

    RPTools-Maptools Online Tabletop: here are some macros :)

    Hey Trevor - I registered at your forum about a week ago. Now that I have some time to check out the forum and the (*awesome*) user created content, I want to post, but I can't log in. My account is inactive or disabled(?). Says to contact the forum administrator, but in looking around the...

    RPTools-Maptools Online Tabletop: here are some macros :)

    I just downloaded the newest development release and played around with TOPO and FOW. Okay...just awesome. Awesome. Only one more question (and yes...I will get over to meet you all in the proper forum), when I change the grid size(from standard 50 to 36 for my map), the sight distances (as...

    Are there any good turn-based RPGs?

    Well, they're not set in the fantasy genre, but I'd recommend Jagged Alliance 2, Fallout Tactics and Silent Storm. Of course, these games are only RPG in the sense that you control character growth.

    I Got Into College!

    I'll only add on that in my experience, what college you went to, and your grades at that college only matter for helping to get your first job after college. After that, its all based on your experiences working. As a person who stressed out quite a bit over grades, I wish I'd known that...

    RPTools-Maptools Online Tabletop: here are some macros :)

    Emirikol - thanks! I just downloaded MapTools (and about every other virtual table demo) that I could find so that I could start up an online game. I like maptools quite a bit, but I have a couple questions that I couldn't find the answers to in the documentation: 1. Once you have removed...

    Any opinions about FFVII on PC?

    I think getting the PC would be my second choice. I'd much rather be playing it sitting in the living room in front of the big TV instead of being banished to my little computer station in the basement. But something deep inside me sours at the thought of paying more for it than a new PS2 (or...

    Any opinions about FFVII on PC?

    I missed FFVII the first time around. I've finally cleared off my (video-gaming) plate enough to have some time to check it out. People want a lot of money for used PS1 copies, but the PC version of the game still goes for a reasonable price. So...anybody know of any differences between the...

    [JULY] What are you playing?

    PS2 - I'm playing through La Pucelle Tactics, with plans to move on to either Tales of Legendia or Shadowheart: Covenant. PSP - Marvel Trading Card Game and Yu-gi-oh Tag Battle GX (or something like that). PC - Replaying Jagged Alliance 2, trying to use mercs that I didn't give a chance the...

    [Green Ronin] Let's Make That Free RPG Week!

    Just wanted to thank you for the True20 download. I've been reading through it (at my typical plodding pace) and it looks very cool. I'm going to see if I can get the more adventurous members of my group to show up early next week and give it a spin.

    Boxed Text or No Boxed Text?

    I can completely understand that its a pain in the rear for you guys who actually write adventures, but I can emphatically say that as a consumer I need it, love it, want it. I NEED the boxed text when I DM, because I don't have a flair for descriptions, atmosphere, turns of phrases, etc. If...
