1) It taught me, at a young age, to learn and use a complex, inter-dependent system of rules and relationships. Much later, I went on to take undergraduate and graduate degrees in chemistry. This outcome is, in part, thanks to role-playing. D&D was the first complex, self-consistent system I...

Thanks again, Kris! I will most certainly make use of these. If you have the time, it would be great to have the arrow guide. No rush, my friend! Take your time. :)

I was excited to get the Shades of Gray into my hot little hands until I found out that the entire thing is organized around a dingus hunt motif. That trope is a little stale, IMHO. As such, Coils of Set is higher on my to-buy list. I haven't read or purchased either, though. I assume you...

These are exquisite, Kris. I'm really enjoying them. As the OP, don't concern yourself with hijacking if that means you will upload even more. My word. <salivating>

Wow! Those look pretty nice. What software did you use? Feel free to upload the rest if you have the inclination.

Just bought a pristine set of Dwarven Kingdoms of Krynn with maps off amazon marketplace for $8!! Sounds likle exactly what I'm looking for.

If you have the time, I have the interest.

well, so far it sounds like i might pass on this. i'll start researching that DL box. i appreciate the tip. btw, i discovered that mike mearls worked on the moria box. he refers to it as his favorite of anything he's written, and also says that he bled for it. hmm ... how about that? kind of...

edit: ahh, that makes more sense. i thought i was missing something. anyway, i would certainly appreciate it, captain. i am especially curious about those modular maps ...

I don't have any intention of picking up the LOTRRPG, but I do love me some good dungeons every now and again. Anyone cracked this open and taken a thorough looksie? I'm interested in both opinions and details. How are the maps? How big? Rendered well? How about the modular maps for the lower...

DonTadow, aside from maptools and npc designer, what are all the progs that you customarilly use in a gaming session (along with your projector, etc.)? I'm especially interested in the ones that might speed up combat.

wtf?!? that's ... disturbing. i'm so sorry to hear that happened to you. reminds me of a hackmaster game i almost joined a few months back where one of the players (clad in over-the-top regalia of lame geekdom ... you know the type) whips out a huge bowie knife and starts waving it around a...

Joska Boann, Nampor of Albuterol. Works pretty well! I think my favorite star wars moniker of all time is Malodorous Vag.

apply some Gorilla Glue with a Q-tip and lock it down for 4 hours. This stuff can be bought at any good hardware store or even amazon. be sure to WEAR GLOVES. i was binding some books from printed pdfs last month with the stuff and i got some on my hands. it took two weeks for my skin to...

Have to respectfully disagree with you there, Whizbang. Throughout the Illiad, Odysseus is hailed as being the most clever of all. He hatches the Trojan Horse plan. He dressed up in disguise a lot. He stole King Rhesus' horses. He was always coming up with clever schemes. Look it up. I'm not...

I hear what you're saying. But at the same time, I think D&D is a very sophisticated rules set designed to be adaptable for lots of styles of play. At its best, it can strikingly resemble good literature and be a far cry from a hack and slash lootin-tootin dungeon crawl. Depending on the...

It is easy to conflate law, duty, and good with principle. These are difficult concepts, and Kohlberg himself later retracted level 6 altogether. He found that no one consistently operated at level 6, instead they vascilated between 5 and 6. Plus, it was slippery to define. Yeah, I wasn't even...

It's not a perfect tool but what is? To answer the above question, I offer a system that isn't perfect, but I like it a little better. It is interesting how alignment is used to classify a charcter's moral or ethical system. As useful as it is for RPGs, I think it is still a little crude and...

Starbuck Oh yeah, they take Kara Thrace's Starbuck to some pretty dark places. She went from being my 3rd favorite character to my wishing they would just write her off the show. Looking at her overall character arc thus far, I'm thinking I would classify Kara Thrace as neutral. She is often...

ohhhhh! i am utterly tingling with anticipation. count me in!!!
