    This PDF cover has to be seen...

    Oh, no, these are lifted straight from Oblivion. There's no doubt about it. Arrowroot Plant, restores dexterity, damages luck, fortifies strength... Glow dust from will-o-the-wisps? Crab meat? Edit: If I can figure out how to make this game take screenshots I can post some up that show the...

    Maps for PbP?

    The links aren't wrong, it appears that the forum that held all of these plugins disappeared! Now I'm sad. :.-( Edit: Wait... they may have just changed domains. Let me see if I can find them again. Edit2: I managed to find their new forums and searched for those same three plugins. I hope I...

    Maps for PbP?

    For those interested in using Paint.NET here's a little "tutorial" I created on my gaming group's forum about how to create rooms like then one I posted above. First, you'll need Paint.NET if you don't already have it: Paint.NET - Free Software for Digital Photo Editing Then you'll need these...

    Maps for PbP?

    May I suggest Paint.NET instead of "normal" Paint? It works very similarly but has a lot of extra features, like layers. You could have the grid on one layer and the tokens on a different layer (or have each token on its own layer) and suddenly it becomes MUCH easier to cut/paste the tokens...

    Maps for PbP?

    Note that once you have your token-looking image you can just drag it from your desktop (or wherever) into the MapTool program to drop it onto the map.

    LEGEND OF THE SEEKER #18:Walter/Final Season 2/2010

    I like the show, but somehow I'm not surprised. Honestly, the writing has been a little... strained. Land mines? How many different ways can we stop Kara from using the breath of life? It's been brain candy for me. No substance, and a lot of stuff that sticks in your teeth, but fun to watch...

    Neptune's Pride

    I used to play games somewhat similar to this. I'll give this one a try.

    EN World "Social" Icons (@Russ)

    They look great now, thanks!

    EN World "Social" Icons (@Russ)

    These look great, but can I suggest adding just a little more space between those icons and the XP level descriptor just above it?

    New status effects?

    One mechanical way to represent this may be that the affected character never counts when figuring out flanking. Perhaps the character also cannot be affected by certain bonuses from other party members (such as warlord powers, which are often PR'd as encouraging language). That one could be...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #8:Time/Season 1/2009

    Apparently this episode won an award. 'Trotsky,' 'Stargate Universe,' 'Less Than Kind' win writers guild awards - Yahoo! Canada News

    Do you like rolling?

    This thread reminded me of a funny real-world story... My fiance had a job a few years ago in a warehouse. He was operating forklifts and had to change the battery on one of them. This involved driving the forklift up to the batteries docked against the wall and getting all of the connectors...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE # 13:Faith/Season 1/2010

    Agreed. I really liked how they had to make the decision between staying in a nice place possibly forever or sticking with much less nice living arrangements with a better possibility of getting home some day. (I think that most of the people who wanted to stay didn't have any illusions about...

    Have Email Notifications Been Disabled Again?

    Good point... maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to actually really disable email notifications for a day or so (I'm assuming this will delete the backlog, but it may not) and then re-enable it again. There's a slight possibility that this will get it working again, but I don't know enough about...

    LEGEND OF THE SEEKER #17:Vengeance/Season 2/2010

    My fiance's comment upon watching this episode: "You know, the more I watch this the more it feels like somebody's D&D campaign." :D Yeah, my fiance and I liked that, too. I also "liked" how the sisters of the dark didn't seem to have "stealth" in their vocabulary. Which one of them had the...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE # 13:Faith/Season 1/2010

    I think Eli was the one who ate the foreign plants in that earlier episode, not Greer. In any case, in that earlier episode (was that "Time"?) they mentioned something about not knowing what would be safe to eat or not without somebody actually eating some of it. This episode they mentioned...

    Possible posting hiccup

    I had something similar to that happen to me last night. I was posting in some thread and it was taking an extremely long time, so I loaded up a new tab and started browsing EN World on that tab. After some time I noticed that the original tab was STILL in the process of posting, showing the...

    Testing Map Insert

    Here's another one. This one I typed in "ethiopian restaurant near Boston, MA". (Mmm, haven't had Ethiopian in a while.) ethiopian restaurant near Boston, MA Edit: Huh, that's odd... that one worked in the preview, but when I posted it suddenly it didn't find anything. Edit2: Oh, I think I...

    Testing Map Insert

    I think that anything you can type into Google Maps you can type in between the map tags here. So you can do a zip code, a state, a country, or you can even search for McDonalds near a certain address. Mine was searching for a certain establishment in Boston whose address I didn't remember off...
