    Trying to contact Charles Plemmons. Also, discussing dice!

    I'm a big fan of the marble look. Among my friends, I'm the guy who sorts through his 'pretty dice' looking for the right ones. Most everyone else resorts to what's close at hand, or their 'lucky dice'. I'd advocate the cool variety of black and white dice I picked up from origins this year...

    PC Death when the player isn't there

    Having had this happen to me in the past, I can say that it's no fun. In my case, it was only one session missed. I had went out of state to see my girlfriend. I come back, and bang, they tell me that my character in the Warhammer campaign is dead. Soured me on the whole experience. That being...

    I got a PM?!

    Same here. Mine was from January of last year, if memory serves.

    World of Warcraft rant

    Update on my situation: Friend who sent me article calls on the cell phone Sunday and lets me know that EB Games just got in a small shipment. So against better judgement, I go and grab a copy. I've had no problems logging into the non-high servers. For fun, I did look at Tichondrius (sp?), and...

    World of Warcraft rant

    A friend of mine was glancing around for a copy for me, and ran across this article: http://articles.filefront.com/No_More_Players_for_World_of_Warcraft/;340;;;/article.html

    Hospitality in Gaming or Gaming in Hospitality?

    As the years have gone by, it's gotten to the point that we game so that we can keep up with friends who grow distant. We're getting older, and real life invades more of our time, so if we can keep up this scheduled hobby, we get to see and interact with our friends more. Plus it makes for a...

    Need ideas for a disease-based scenario

    You can always have the PCs deal with the flip-side as well: the militant order dedicated to eradicating said disease. Scarred Lands has a great order called the Order of the Morning SKy that worships the healing goddess Madriel. They work to eradicate disease and undead wherever they may lie...

    Point Pleasant

    Yeah, I'm kind of giving it a 'meh' response myself. It makes me yearn for American Gothic. Given that it was a pilot and had to get the ball rolling, I'll give it some leeway for now. Thanks for clarifying the Dina Myer bit. I knew she looked familiar to me, too.

    North Carolina Game Day VI: January 29

    I should be there for the Errico's dinner next Friday, Rel. I think my GF has something planned, but if she opts to come, I'll let you know ASAP.

    Ceramic DM, and you're invited! (Postponed! See post #117)

    Ack! Okay, good thing I checked this morning. I'm up for the next competition, as long as I notice it's going on. Alsih2o, if you want to email me at ruiner at ruined net when it gets started, that would help out tremendously.

    Planescape: info on Outlands border towns?

    Ah, welcome to the world of Planescape! The material you're looking for was best presented in A Player's Primer to the Outlands (which can still be gotten through RPG Now: http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=1336& ). It has a writeup on each of the gate-towns. Nothing too...

    Web host providers: Your choice?

    I'll second the recommendation for Dreamhost. I've been with them for five years now, and have no complaints. Stability is great, customer service is always prompt and understanding, and if you stick with them for a while, you tend to get grandfathered in to cool upgrades when they change their...

    Who's still playing City of Heroes?

    I've been struggling with CoH recently. I stepped away from it for a month, and now I have no real desire to play again. I hop back on, and it feels like the same ol', same ol'. I wish it weren't the case, as I have a friend that I don't see much just starting up play. I'm seriously considering...

    Yeah, you and me both, reveal.

    Does some kind soul have links to some of the previous matches? I'd like to refresh myself on the structure and average length of posts.

    Take wacky pictures, make a cohesive story out of it, right? Okay, I'm in. I've been needing some writing 'assignments' to keep in line with New Year resolutions anyhow.

    North Carolina Game Day VI: January 29

    Ooh, I'm trying to remember those. d10 + dex mod, lowest goes first? Was that it? It's been many a year for me, but I'm starting to recall some great games.

    Gamers and Thieves

    I'd love to say 'no way, that doesn't mesh with what I've seen,' but I can't. In my 20+ years of gaming, I've known a few skilled (and not-so-skilled) rogues. One friend forever banned from a mall for his teenaged shoplifting escapade, to a girl who claims her entire D&D collection was...

    North Carolina Game Day VI: January 29

    Hey Gerzel, do you need us to make our characters? I'd be fine with playing something you've pre-gened, but either way it should be no issue. I just didn't want to get caught out with not having a character made, presuming it was all pre-gens. Happened once, not too much fun. :D
