The new year was on Thursday, I believe. It's now the year of the rabbit.

This is one of the things I was worried about. The in game reason is that this was a culture that inhabited the continent long before the current populace, and it's only known of through their ancient writings (which are magic-resistant and hard to translate), artifacts, and ruins. It's very...

That's a valid point, but I think it would apply more if I were using Xi as a person's name, not as the name of a culture. I plan on this culture being very dead. They're a source of ancient ruins and artifacts, not of people, so the word will mostly be used as an adjective (a Xi sword, or a...

How do you pronounce "gZee"? :p

What would you think if your DM introduced a culture named "Xi", pronounced "she", into a standard fantasy (not oriental-based) campaign? Too weird? Would the pronunciation provide too many potential jokes ("that's what Xi said!") and derail the game? Are the spelling and pronunciation too...

What OS do you have? If the sound you need is not coming from your browser and you have Windows 7 you can mute only the browser and leave your other applications with sound.

Yeah, my guess was it just made things easier to film only one person with dice. Plus it really helped set up Abed's role for those not familiar with the idea of RPGs. Everyone else says, "I do this!" and Abed rolls and says, "yes it worked," or, "no it didn't." Edit to avoid two posts in a...

Go play Planescape: Torment! Now! It's a crime that you haven't played it yet. :p

This is why I always keep my work PC muted unless I have headphones on. :)

Once I got my antivirus to sit down and shut up it was a piece of cake to get Icewind Dale installed on my Windows 7 laptop. Baldur's Gate will probably be just as easy since they both use the same technology.

Exactly. What you need is popular, recognized characters who are known outside the gaming community. So, we should make a D&D movie based on Lord of the Rings. ;)

I noticed that so far nobody has voted for the more "generic fantasy" settings (Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms). Yet that seems to be what they keep giving us - generic fantasy movies labeled "D&D".

Gotta be Eberron. I want to see dinosaur-riding halflings, elemental-powered airships, lightning rails, and warforged on the big screen. In 3d! :lol:

I think you are thinking of something different than we are. You can play online using a virtual tabletop that is nothing other than a virtual representation of a tabletop - basically just a shared image of a map that everyone is looking at in real time. The NPCs you use here are no different...

Zhaleskra, I'm still not sure why you'd have those problems in an online game and not an in-person one.

Maybe someone with more skill than me would know how, but it's nearly impossible to enlarge a picture without pixilating it.

You just want somebody to cut those squares into individual images? That's insanely easy, if a bit tedious. Open up your editor of choice (you can even do this in MS Paint), use the Selection tool to select a square, then hit Ctrl-C, create a new file, and hit Ctrl-V. Save. Repeat. Or, use...

We actually had some really nice folks sit in that fifth seat for a few sessions but then they had to bow out due to scheduling conflicts, and were actually really nice about it (as opposed to most people who just disappear with no explanation). That was a nice change. I've been gaming online...

Yeah, the game was slightly amusing, but it was that review that made my day. :D

I only started watching it a few months ago, so I didn't catch that one. :)
