    Working on something...

    That is what I was trying to say, make more of it minimized as the default.

    Working on something...

    I do like it, not waffling here... BUT if it is going to be so busy and slow to load, could some of the stuff be shrunk down [+ and - on boxes] or linked instead? It is kind of interesting to have all the birthdays available, but do I really need them every time I hit the front page? Just an...

    4E with 1E Feel: Does that appeal to you?

    Finally, I am the target audience again, yay! As stated in the other thread, YES! Assuming that the product actually gives me a 1E Feel for 4E. I agree that the 1E Feel is almost impossible to define, I could just QFT the wise one's second post for much of my 1E Feel, but there would still...

    Clark Peterson on 4E

    Let me offer something new to the discussion, I am one of those who has NOT played 4E, yet. I read through the PH and as I said earlier I did not have a negative (or hater) response to it, but it did not grab me (or make me fall in love either). A friend asked me if I would play if he started...

    Forked Thread: Dealing with sociopathic PCs (Was: Stop being so paranoid)

    I think this nails it pretty darn well. My only difference is that I don't want to play or DM an evil / sociopathic game so I would just tell them to have fun without me. I get to do that enough at a place called "work"! EDIT: emphasis above mine, I detest "mind games" (thus the work...

    Clark Peterson on 4E

    THIS! And Clark's post as well pretty much sum up my feelings. I have no hatred of 4E, but no love for it either. As it exists now, I won't be going to it. If Necro writes a variant that I like then I might down the road.

    Stop being so paranoid

    I always have a group of adventurer NPC's just "off camera" that are exact copies of my PC's to act as a constant reminder that they "are not alone" in the adventuring world.

    Making places interesting/unique - DMing

    I use real world city distinctions (or even stereotypes) for my D&D cities. If you don't know that much about various cities then you can still pull details from the web and modify them to fit your D&D needs.

    War of the Burning Sky Hardcover Preview Images

    $200 would be great, $250 would still be good, even $280ish, anything that starts with a 2 is MUCH easier to say than... "Honey, I want to buy a new gaming book for $X00" (X being 3 or higher) I do enjoy sleeping INDOORS! ;)

    War of the Burning Sky Hardcover Preview Images

    I know you don't want to get pigeon holed on price, but can you give us a "ballpark" number of like $200, $250,... $500 (you did say hideously expensive after all) I know for myself, this is probably a Christmas 2009 present in any case (to keep peace in the family), but I just want to know...

    Newscripts on title page?

    I run FireFox 3 with the No Script plugin, and today when I came to ENW it prompted me to allow or deny scripts from "vccs.edu". Is this intentional or yet another hack attempt on the site?

    REALLY Old Stuff

    I buy old stuff off of ebay all the time, so yes I would sell it if I were you. Now, you may not get much for it, I routinely buy old Dragons for 50 cents an issue or less in bulk; but I have seen them listed for starting prices of $5 or more also. [I don't even consider those, so I have no...

    Stop being so paranoid

    :lol: The first 8 posts of this thread all brought memory flashbacks of something my group has done in the past, because yes all groups do suffer this disease and almost all suffer it in the same way at some point in time. My group routinely told me that I was trying to kill them... so finally...

    Group expanding to 7 players - help me manage

    I just wanted to clarify slightly how I worked the "No books at the table" rule. I think you might be misunderstanding me just a tiny bit. After character creation, I take my players character sheets and interview them. I ask them to tell me what their feats, spells, racial abilities, etc...

    Group expanding to 7 players - help me manage

    All I had to do was just set that little 'hour glass' out and flip it over and suddenly eyes went wide and things started happening, it was like... well magic! My suggestion then would be start with just 2 things: 1) A stndard marching order and 2) A standard way of dealing with a door. In my...

    Can no longer Nominate threads

    I get the same screen, but the really interesting thing is that while the message says I am not logged in... I am still logged in on the path nav bar. I clicked the "login" button just to see what would happen and it said I was trying to enter an invalid username (I never entered any username...

    Group expanding to 7 players - help me manage

    The visual effect of the egg timer is great, I used one myself with great results. I was lucky enough to have actual military players in my 2000 - 2004 group, so planning in advance for SOP was second nature to them; but I highly recommend it for any group. They had SOP for entering a room...
