    Revised mental note... do not walk on train tracks. Period. :p

    RANT: Architects & Contractors: Stop building dumb bathrooms!

    Mental note... do not walk on train tracks in Asia. :p And I'd say that qualifies as an odd bathroom.

    RANT: Architects & Contractors: Stop building dumb bathrooms!

    I wonder if this was somebody's answer to those folks who like to pee in the shower. :) My mom used to tell this story about the time her and my dad were honeymooning in Europe ~35 years ago. They were on a train and my mom had to pee. She couldn't read the signs, not being able to speak...

    How to stop player whining? Drama!

    I would advise against this and any other similar plots. Even if he does realize how annoying it is I can almost guarantee you that his reaction is not going to be, "Oh, is that how I look? Gee, I should change my ways." He's more likely going to get defensive and angry and feel like the DM...

    RANT: Architects & Contractors: Stop building dumb bathrooms!

    I find it hard to believe that I'm the only one who dreams of peeing if I'm sleeping and have to pee. :p

    RANT: Architects & Contractors: Stop building dumb bathrooms!

    One of the oddest bathrooms I've seen was a "nested" bathroom. It was in some random gas station. It was a private unisex bathroom. As you entered the toilet was right in front of you and the sink was on your left, but in the far left corner (diagonal from the door) there was another room...

    Computer Keyboards: anyone else dislike 'Sleep mode' and 'shut down' keys?

    My sleep button is waaay off to the side and inset, so it doesn't bother me much. I never use it, though. Don't see the point. What I really hate about my keyboard is the "function lock". I don't think they make them quite like this anymore due to customer complaints, but when my computer...

    Going digital with Maptools and 4e

    I found it by searching for some of the directories I could see in the MapTool tree. Make sure your search is including hidden files and folders. I think at least one folder in the chain is hidden, which keeps the files from being found by normal searches. Do you have a .maptool folder under...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #3:Awakenings /Season 2/2010

    Why would they want all of the power sucked out of their home? They probably had the same reaction to the original power flow as the Destiny crew had to the reverse power flow. I seem to recall that they originally referred to it as "one of the seed ships". The show would be no fun if...

    OotS #750 is up!

    I've heard of some pretty disturbing real-life ball pits in bad parts of town. Some of them involve soiled baby garments fallen off. Others involve mischievous teens looking for some place to hide their... paraphernalia. Never seen any of these, though, so they could just be urban myths. :p

    Going digital with Maptools and 4e

    Where the images end up depend on your OS. I'm using Vista, and for me they wound up here (replace UserName with the name of your user): C:\Users\UserName\.maptool\resource

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #3:Awakenings /Season 2/2010

    It's possible. I think they didn't notice the transfer until Rush was KO'd by aliens, but he was alone there for a while before the aliens came. His reaction when he detached the ships makes me uncertain, but I do remember thinking "hey, wait a second, what's his angle?" when he was the one...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #3:Awakenings /Season 2/2010

    So, are spoilers okay in these threads or not? I'm assuming that anybody reading this thread has seen up to this episode and I'm not going to sblock anything that happened in it. If that's wrong I'll come back and edit. :p I will bet money that we haven't seen the last of Telford. I think...

    "D&D Legacy"

    I seem to recall that 3e and Pathfinder were one forum at one point and there were complaints about that. I think those complaints revolved around the idea that the games were subtly different enough that somebody asking a question about 3e might get a bunch of entirely unhelpful responses...

    DDI September/October Update info

    Like Scribble said, they probably do not read every post of every thread. And even if they do, part of the whole nondisclosure thing is not negating every rumor. Imagine if they did negate every incorrect rumor. If they suddenly got silent for one rumor and didn't negate it then everybody...

    Advice for a new player bored with his character

    I agree with all of the other posters that you should start by talking to your DM. If he/she is a good DM then they should be happy to work with you to make the game more fun, especially if you're a new player and didn't really know what you were getting into when you made the character. Can...

    DDI September/October Update info

    I'm not sure that logic is sound. Many of these people would probably not buy their own subscription at all. They'd either only use the character builder when they get to the DM's house (which is another practice I've heard of) or they'd go without. I think very few of these "borrowed"...

    Good Old Games: Baldur's Gate and Planescape Torment

    Planescape Torment is one of my favorite games of all times. I would absolutely say it's worth picking up if you've never played it. Baldur's Gate was pretty good, too. If you don't mind the older graphics it's worth a play through. I bought Icewind Dale a looong time ago and never played...

    Gliese 581g - A Tidally Locked DnD World

    Is there something that would really do that? In the real world, is it possible for a tidally locked planet to flip without something massively destructive, like a meteor strike?
