Yeah, but you probably have public transportation. Try finding that in Indy. Still, $5.50 is alot!

I volunteered to DM some RPGA games at Gencon in 2002. We didn't get the adventures until the last minute and they were filled with errors and accidental omissions. For one of the adventures, they screwed up and didn't have the module! So they just photocopied the first dungeon from City of the...

The Hermit of Ogo was a mystic theurge who was the last survivor of a long dead cabal of evil spellcasters who ruled the land with an iron fist before being defeated by an army of elves. He was blind but made use of dozens of magical jars filled with preserved monster eyes to see. He started...

My group has 3 players. I have little time to write my own adventures, so most of the time I use ones from Dungeon magazine. Many times, the group feels the lack of a cleric or rogue (they are a ranger-13, a sorcerer-10/dragon disciple-2/lich template-2, and a druid-10/warshaper-2/master of many...

Bring beer.

Another PC. Early 80s. Third grade. Basic D&D boxed set. My neighbor and I figured out how to make characters, but not really how to play yet. So that summer we made PCs. Dozens of them. We would make PCs for HOURS. We had a huge folder of them. Once we puzzled out the rules and started to...

Wow. I'm amazed at how many people say no. Is it because you don't trust your players? Do you not trust your own DMing skills to keep the game fun in these circumstances? Man, if I did this in my campaign, the players would hoard the gold, wondering what plot twist was coming that would require...

730. http://www.marshome.org/ - The Mars Homestead Project. Includes PDF plans for a martian colony.

The alzabo from Gene Wolf's Book of the New Sun series. This predator eats people's brains and then gains some of their memories and the ability to perfectly mimic their voice. It's still got little better than animal intelligence, but it can use it's vicitims' memories to lure others in for...

I just found a ton of good graphic novels at the library. Read all of these in two days: The Road to Perdition: The movie is based on this book. Its got great B&W art. Some of the frames look like photographs from the 30s. It kind of reminded me of Lone Wolf & Cub only with a gunslinging gang...

Aren't the FF based on the Four Elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water? Of course, I didn't realize this until much much later (when I read about the anti-FF group in the Mutants and Masterminds Freedom City book).

You guys have me hungry for this book. It's my first gencon purchase--even before the con! Come on Amazon, ship the thing!

Awesome, thanks! I am now formulating my escape plans.

Somebody help me goof off at work. What are some good websites I can waste time reading until I try to sneak out of work early this afternoon.

I talked to the RAM brewer at the Indiana Microbrew Festival a couple weekends ago. He was pretty excited about this years Gencon beer--A scottish ale. Its going to be malty with added body and mouthfeel from the addition of oatmeal. I think he said they were calling it something like...

Some great ideas in this thread! For inspiration, check out the episodes of Farscape where John Crichton gets copied. I think its in the 3rd or 4th season. The two copies go off on entirely different adventures--but they are the same man! In one scene, they sit playing rock-paper-scissors. Each...

I once wrote a short adventure for two thieves who intended to break into a wizard's tower. The wizard had a spell on his tower that automatically teleported out anyone with an Int higher than 8 (other than himself). The thieves had to get good and drunk before entering and had to maintain their...

I'm going really light this year. I tend to park several blocks away (its free cause its where I work!) and that walk in the Indiana August weather kinda sucks. Dice, pencils, a notebook, digital camera, hand sanitizer, a couple packs of 3x5 cards for 1KBWC (http://www.corngolem.com/1kbwc/ : a...
