    Help with defeating badguys.

    First time I read this, I saw "ghosts" rather than "goths". I say... you invite the goths (make it a V:tM larp; they'll show up in droves), and have your ghost invite other ghosts! There are *always* at least one or two hanging out in a convention center.... Alternately, if any local ghosts...

    Sorcerer Fix - Continued from "D&D Rules" (PART 3)

    FWIW, you don't *need* Acrobat 6 to create PDFs... check out the ePublishers forums and PlanetPDF.com for more ideas.

    Disciple of Alacrity Prestige Class(Edited again)

    It depends on what type of speed you want to focus on. If you want to focus on reaction speed, combat speed, sprinting, and the like, Improved Initiative is probably a better fit. If you want to focus on longer distances, Run and possibly Endurance are probably a better fit than the more...

    Other movement-related feats: Mobility Spring Attack Feats that give +2 to two movement-related skills Fleet of Foot (CW*) --> Dancing Charge (Beyond Monks) Sidestep (MH*) --> Fancy Footwork (Beyond Monks) And maybe Quick Draw Rapid Reload Combat Reflexes *Non-OGL Beyond Monks has several...

    Disciple of Alacrity Prestige Class(Edited again)

    I'd like to see an alternative at 4th level for the Evasion ability for characters who already have Evasion. Maybe a feat selected from a movement-related feats list? Skill points do seem a little low, seeing as how this seems designed for a rogue.

    Last revision of style. Professional opinions valued.

    The stat block seems to be in Times New Roman.... Otherwise, the layout looks great.

    Female Gamers? Are there more of us now?

    I started gaming around 1979-80, when I was just starting high school. I was the only female in the game. It's difficult to say whether my brother drafted me into it or I drafted my brother into it, but he was the one who got his friends involved in it. The group dynamics in the groups I was in...

    Chicago area gamer looking for a good group

    Is anyone still looking for players? I'm looking for a game somewhere near the southwest suburbs. I'm looking for more role-playing than combat. I have irregularly scheduled committments Sunday through Tuesday, so I'd prefer a game somewhere in the Wednesday-Saturday range. I have some...

    SF&F system?

    We're looking for a "far future, with magic" game. "Magic" in this case can mean spells, powers, psi, or whatever. We are considering Farscape d20, Star Wars d20, and a non-d20 system. What other systems are out there, d20-wise? What system -- or combination of systems -- would you use?

    New from MEG at RPGnow

    Perhaps print them to a Postscript file via a virtual printer, then distill the Postscript file. In theory, you can install a printer driver for a Postscript-capable printer on your machine, specify that as the printer, and then select "print to file" to generate a Postscript file. Then use...

    Is anyone else timing out attempting to hit EN World? / Forum sluggishness

    Forum sluggishness I was having some difficulty trying to read the forums earlier today. Page load times of 3-5 minutes were typical -- and I've got cable modem. Is there a setting somewhere I need to tweak? I'm using Netscape 7.x under Windows XP Home.

    Free Maps from Alea Publishing Group!

    I did look at the map in the web enhancement, and sadly, the text on the map was unreadable. :( System setup, for your webmaster's info: Windows XP Home (and I keep my XP patches up-to-date), Netscape 7.x.

    Free Maps from Alea Publishing Group!

    error messages.... I tried to submit a ratings and got the eror "You can't access this file directly...". Also, the "home page" links return the error "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded." And I noticed that two of the jpegs are in zip files, even though putting them in zip files does...

    Good lord it's huge! PDF file sizing

    No, but you might try asking on the forums at PlanetPDF: http://forum.planetpdf.com/wb/default.asp This may help, too, and some of it may apply to non-Acrobat ways of producing PDFs: http://www.planetpdf.com/mainpage.asp?webpageid=1519 If it turns out there isn't a better solution, you might...

    Weapon Illustration Sketches

    At this point, I'd suggest the "Photoshop Elements" version if you really want Photoshop. MUCH cheaper due to a reduced feature set -- which should be plenty of stuff to play with to get you started. You might actually find Illustrator, Fireworks, or the like to be more suited for your...

    Getting PDF's reviewed

    I wouldn't suggest hyperlinking is going to result in more sales, or that bookmarking and hyperlinking can help make up for deficiencies elsewhere in the document. Actually, I often find hyperlinking in PDFs annoying. But I think bookmarks at the chapter level are nice, and bookmarks at the...

    Opinions on updated PDF/Print layout, thanks...

    I'm looking at the new version, using Netscape 7.x with the Acrobat 6 Reader plugin, and 1024x768 resolution on a 17" monitor, with Windows XP and 96dpi on-screen. "Overview of the Valley, by Rudy VanRoland" should be in the same font as "What is The Valley of Frozen Tears?". I'm seeing...

    Getting PDF's reviewed

    Might I suggest designing the PDF to be read onscreen as well as in hard copy? Clean fonts, good graphics resolution, and even a good default magnification (i.e., 100% rather than "fit page on screen") all make it easier for someone to read a PDF online. Another thing that may help: include...
