    [silly contest] D&D on the road

    Hmmm. That's a good idea. Especially since the DM is going to be fudging things a lot. That way if a mistake is made it's easier to cover it up. Diaglo, That's tempting, especially with the Lone Wolf books online. The DM could have more flexibility with the rules and outcomes (like those...

    What if. . .WotC never bought TSR?

    Somebody would have scooped up those rights. White Wolf or Steve Jackson Games most likely. My personal tastes don't run toward the way WW handles their games and I think they'd be more intervesionist with the IP. From what I've seen of Steve Jackson Games, they'd be more hands off and I...

    Order of the Stick: How long will they put up with Miko?

    That may have been the use of the default male pronoun in the English language. I'd be careful about reading into it. Or not. I suspect V's gender is going to remain a mystery for the duration of the strip.

    Urgent: "Catpeople"-Race needed!!!

    I think Mythic Races might have some as well as Oathbound. On the internet I found this: http://www.dndworld.com/3e/races/felain.html Looks balanced enough to me.

    [silly contest] D&D on the road

    A buddy and I are driving from Houston, Texas to Washington, DC (if you read the Off Topic forum, you're probably aware of this). The Challenge: Design a scenario we can play for about two days of driving. The player can be assumed to be the driver. The DM can be the...

    civic magic items

    You could whip of a few minor items that granted skill boosts, like a ring of +6 Knowledge (Architecture) to make sure civic projects went well. As mentioned earlier, a Lyre of Building is a must have for any kingdom. A want of wall of iron means not having to lug all that raw material from...

    It's my wife's. And yes, it has sentimental value to her.

    [help] Dodge Grand Caravan cargo space

    I'm kicking that around. The irony is that it will probably be too expensive. Not because of shipping costs, but becase we still have to get me back to DC! The timeframe is way too short, so no cheap air fare for yours truly. Again, it's becoming rapidly clear I'm a victim of my own poor...

    Penske? I'll try them. Tried the rest though. U-Haul gave me the $900 quote, which I can cancel for free if I do it soon enough. They're currently my "Plan B". All I need now is a "Plan A".

    [help] Dodge Grand Caravan cargo space

    This is what I should have done. I confess to poor planning. The idea was to fly down with my family, celebrate my daughter's birthday with my wife's relatives, and drive the stuff back north while they relaxed for a day or two and took the plane back. I had absolutely no idea it was so...

    [help] Dodge Grand Caravan cargo space

    Yeah, I've been looking around. What I really need is a cargo van, but the key problem is finding companies that are willing to let me drive the thing one-way. That's the biggest obstacle. There are plenty of vehicles that can get the job done, but everybody wants me to bring them back...

    Washington, DC. Well, northern Virginia. Yeah, the people who want to charge me $900 seem to think this a real big laugh. :confused:

    Houston to DC. It's several days and there's a one-way drop off fee. Which is a problem, because If I remove the seats, I have to take them with me. In hindsight it would have been cheaper to just ship the thing. But I already got the ticket down, so I may as well follow through.

    Hmmm. I'll be renting in Houston, but this is a good idea to try out here. Thanks.

    Is it over for me?

    Oh! Another thought is to participate in, or organize a Game Day. ENWorld has informal conventions we call ... wait for it ... "Game Days" (we're incredibly creative with naming). Someone in an area will organize several D&D games. From browsing those threads, I've noticed they tend to be...

    Your intangible gaming Xmas wishlist

    Probably next door. The roads in the north east are killer twisty and don't get me started on Boston drivers.

    Is it over for me?

    There's a Gamers seeking Gamers forum if you want to meet up with people. But, yeah, it can be hard meeting up with people you're comfortable with. Is there are local gaming store near you where you could join in a few games or start one of your own? That way you wouldn't be inviting...

    Hey, The deal is that I'm moving a chest of drawers that is 6 feet by 4 feet by 2 feet (2 meters by over one meter by something less than one meter). A 10' rental truck is going to run me $900. A Dodge Grand Caravan will run me $650. However, I don't know if the chest is going to fit in...
