    Sblocks not showing up

    That SBLOCK upthread didn't work for me, either. I'm using Chrome. Here's a different test: Test Nope, that one doesn't open for me either (at least, it didn't work in the preview). This is a longer test, something with a bit more text it in. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog...

    Changing DDI subscription renewal plan

    Where did you go to search for that? I couldn't recall seeing anything that looked like a DDI FAQ.

    Changing DDI subscription renewal plan

    Does anyone know how to change your DDI subscription from monthly to yearly? I can't find a thing about it anywhere on the WotC site.

    When should the Master step in?

    If all the players are fine with it but the DM is no longer having fun because of the team-killing then the DM needs to do some talking to the group to find a compromise. At that point, though, it's less of a "problem player" situation than it is a "what do we all want out of this game?" situation.

    Blogs are full of spam

    Will you remember to change this one every 4-8 years? :)

    Help my wizard go mad!

    Like fba827 says, it should be a subtle madness, perhaps even something that takes a while to become fully onset. I think he should slowly become a paranoid schizophrenic. He starts seeing plots against him where there are none. Perhaps he could even enlist the party's help for tracking down...

    Virtual Tabletop software?

    Possibly, it won't. It may just have characters walking on the bottom.

    Longest Board Game You Ever Played

    Back in high school my church youth group had a really silly fundraiser called a "rockathon". It was like a walkathon except instead of people pledging money per mile you walk they pledge money for number of hours you're willing to spend in a rocking chair. (We were allowed a 5-minute break...

    Can't mark forums as read

    I seem to recall that a while ago somebody complained about the same thing, and I'm guessing it just never got fixed. As a workaround, instead of marking all of the forums read at once, when you're done reading a particular forum before you go back to the main page click the Forum Tools menu...

    Virtual Tabletop software?

    Was NWN1 true 3D, though? Do you ever remember bad guys being on a different elevation than your party? Just because the set is 3D doesn't mean the map is true 3D. And if everyone is going to be on the same elevation anyway I'd actually prefer it to be in 2D so my imagination can take over...

    When should the Master step in?

    I feel like in-game actions should have in-game consequences, and out-of-game actions should have out-of-game consequences. As others have said, if the players are all okay with it then there's no need to take out-of-game steps. However the DM should (as always) make sure the game world reacts...

    Can't mark forums as read

    It works fine for me. What browser are you using? Have you cleared your cache lately? Are you using the "Mark this forum read" option under the "Forum Tools" menu from inside a forum, or something else?

    Virtual Tabletop software?

    I don't believe WotC's game table was truly 3D either. I mean, it was shown in 3D, but I don't recall seeing any photos of minis on different levels. The bells and whistles may have been rendered in 3D, but I think under the hood the map was still flat. There are lots of problems with...

    Virtual Tabletop software?

    Another +1 for MapTool. I have only used a couple of VTTs, and only free ones, but MapTool is all you need and it's free. It's got the basics (share a whiteboard/table, roll dice) for those who want to keep it simple, and it's got tons of user-made frameworks for those who want something more...

    foreign body aspiration

    My husband's dog once ate a Christmas ornament. Not one of the ones made of food like popcorn garland or gingerbread men, noo... A glass Christmas bulb. I'm told he turned out okay, but had sparkly poo the next day.

    Obviously it's not browser-specific. Hmm, I'm hiding the ads up there. Could that have anything to do with it? Edit: I've noticed that everyone in this thread who said they saw this is a community supporter, and able to hide the ads.

    How far are we from colonizing off Earth?

    Regarding colonizing exoplanets, Voyager I was launched in the 70s, and it's just barely breached the edge of our solar system. Our long-scale transportation technology hasn't improved much since then. At least, we're still nowhere near other star systems. I think sci-fi shows like Star Trek...

    I'm using Chrome 5.0.375.125, and I see it. Edit: Just in case it's a caching thing, I cleared my cache and reloaded the page, and I still see it.
