    Using Ebook Readers for Gaming Books

    Unfortunately, yes. But like all electronics, they will likely get cheaper every year. I mean, the Kindle 1 had a price of $399 at its introduction. Now its successor model only costs $299 - less than two years after the initial release of its predecessor. Actually, its price was 700 Euros not...

    Using Ebook Readers for Gaming Books

    217 x 268 x 11.9 mm in size and 535 g in weight. However, this is without any protective cover - I haven't bought one yet, but I plan to.

    Using Ebook Readers for Gaming Books

    I'm a bibliophile myself, but... I already own several thousands of printed books. I dread the next inevitable move. This makes a device which can easily store several thousands of books very, very tempting - especially considering that it only weighs a pound and I can take it with me everywhere...

    Using Ebook Readers for Gaming Books

    On Thursday Evening, I finally got my iRex DR1000S, the ebook reader with the currently largest screen on the market - topping even the Kindle DX. This device is excellent for reading PDFs without having to print them out - which makes it very useful indeed for reading gaming PDFs. I've...

    Of course, you don't have to use all those elements literally - just use them as inspiration. I mean, take the Forgotten Realms, which has all sorts of realms inspired by real world history (the most blatant being Mulhorand). So if the generator comes up with, say, France as a source of cultural...

    DDI Wiki - Submit your Characters and Monsters!

    I'd rather not go that route, for two reasons: - This would involve a lot of copying and pasting text fragments than the current setup, where you only have to upload a single file and enter its name into the template. - If a DM wants to use a monster for his own game, he can easily print out...

    Random Nation Generator

    I've added counters which list how many "seed entries" exist for the individual categories. Here is the current count: Type of Government: 1 Major Races/Species: 13 Significant Creatures: 39 Cultural Influences: 48 Type of Worship: 0 Worshiped Entities: 9 Powerful Organizations: 24 Major...

    DDI Wiki - Submit your Characters and Monsters!

    Well, I'm keeping this site up unless a WotC employee tells me otherwise. If WotC does ask me to shut it down, then any backups will only be good for personal use in any case - I certainly couldn't publish them elsewhere.

    DDI Wiki - Submit your Characters and Monsters!

    I've read the WotC fan site policy, and I think I'm on the safe site. I am not a lawyer, but to my mind the stat blocks are not "product images" in the term that WotC created them for their products, only generated by one of their products. And I've included all the other disclaimers according...

    D&Di - Monster Builder Beta Launch Announced

    Don't give monsters too many powers from other monsters too many levels above their own.

    DDI Wiki - Submit your Characters and Monsters!

    So far, there are three monsters in the wiki: The Sewer Squid: The Rat King: And the Sliver Juvenile: Keep them coming!

    D&Di - Monster Builder Beta Launch Announced

    Would you consider submitting your alchemist to my new wiki? The Embalmed Corpse Minions as well! :D

    DDI Wiki - Submit your Characters and Monsters!

    Given that the Monster Builder was released for Dungeons & Dragons Insider today, I've put in some overtime today and created a wiki framework which allows users to submit their own characters and monsters built with the DDI tools. I've added explanations on how to submit characters and how to...

    D&Di - Monster Builder Beta Launch Announced

    Those sound interesting. And I'm also curious about what other people will come up with. You know what that means? Yes, it's time for another wiki project! I envision a wiki where contributors can submit and upload their own monsters created with the Monster Builder (as well as characters...

    Att: WotC - Replacing PDF's

    This would be my preferred solution. I plan to order an electronic reader capable of displaying PDFs soon (not the Kindle DX - the even larger iRex 1000S), and it is aggravating that I can no longer buy classic D&D supplements to read on it. While I buy enough gaming PDFs from other publishers...

    Vault of the Drow found: in Vietnam !

    Definitely worth an Arcana Wiki entry. And not just because you could put drow cities in there. I think with a few suitable additions of monsters, hostile nations, and ancient artifacts, the initial survey by the British expedition might make for a great Call of Cthulhu one-shot scenario...

    Random Nation Generator

    I've added a "raw resources" category which lists raw materials the country might import or export, such as ores, livestock, and so forth - basically, anything that doesn't require much in the way of processing is appropriate for this category. And the individual entries for such resources don't...

    Alternatives to D&D

    Yeah, Savage Worlds is one of the few RPGs which Google Insight has noted as having higher interest over the course of the last few years. So it seems to be doing fairly well for RPGs these days...
