    D&D Game Bag

    As I recall it was just a typical shoulder/messenger type bag that had the D&D logo printed or sewed on it. I saw a few of the them at the show. Frankly, didn't seem like a particularly wonderous item to me -- just another black bag, only with a logo Carl

    Couldn't be helped. It's a slippery slope on the road to Ted Nugent or, increasingly, Gallagher. :p Carl

    World's smallest sovereign power is an order of knights founded 1,000 years ago

    I thought Sealand had the prize as the smallest nation-state. Carl

    Opinions on gmail?

    This is actually one of my biggest concerns about switching to a web-based, advertising-based email service. Although I'm rarely ever sending email that could breach national security or lead to personal indictments :lol: , I am a little creeped out by the Big Brother that Google is growing to...

    She's a bit small for that long a trip -- although the first of her design did cross the Atlantic in 1910! She'll probably stay between New York and Maine. This summer, her first in the water with us, was strictly in Rhode Island/Massachusetts. If both my wife and I end up completely out of...

    I need to consolidate my email accounts under one. Tell me about your experiences with gmail. Pros? Cons? Reliable? Ads intrusive? Carl

    It's certainly not one of profit! :p I've worked professionally on larger boats for years, but this is the first boat I've ever had to pay the bills for. :eek: I picked her up a couple years ago for a song, although we've definitely put some cash into her since. There was some structural...

    Help for crashed Windows Explorer in ME.

    I re-installed ME, which seems to have solved the problem, but I might take you up on your offer, CL. Carl

    Where are you going for Thanksgiving?

    Good Grief! I got to remember to watch what I say around here... We work in the sail training industry (www.sailtraining.org). There's always crew and others who can't get home for the holiday. Carl

    Where are you going for Thanksgiving?

    For the first time in many years, we went nowhere, and had nobody over. In fact, it wasn't until Thursday morning that we realized we had NO food in the house and that no grocery stores were open. By 6 p.m. we were getting hungry, but even the Chinese takeout was closed. My wife scoured the...

    My main other hobby these days is "Irene Agnes", a 1936 gaff-rigged yawl that is in seemingly endless need of attention: Carl

    Anyone listening to RPGRadio?

    I haven't listened to RPG Radio yet, but I can give a big thumbs up to Dragon's Landing, a very interesting, professionally done show! www.dragonslanding.com Carl

    Recommend a free Ad-ware and/or Spyware remover program to me

    I used AdAware for a while before downloading SpyBot, which found a bunch of stuff that AdAware missed.

    Johnny Cash, Pink Floyd

    Well, don't let that stop you from listening to him. "I walk the line" was the first record album I ever owned. I think I was about 6 years old, and just gotten one of those kiddie phongraphs that played when you closed it. Carl

    Gaming in an open enviroment

    Developing character backrounds and personalities is one of the keys to resolving this in an open-ended game. What motivates a person to want to do things? What are his interests, personal goals for his life? Fleshing out characters helps players answer the question, "What does my character feel...

    Planning Campaigns

    Crothian's style is identical to mine. Nothing in the world is static; the party's decision NOT to pursue some plot hook I dangle may turn out to be as significant, or more, to world events than if they did follow that adventure.... What happens to the Kingdom when nobody goes to save the...

    The coolest looking genre?

    This was NOT the first thing that came to my mind, but I think you may be right. I also really like the 1930s film-noir detective/espionage style. Carl

    Why do console games suck so bad???

    Let me get this straight: You have GENE RAYBURN as your avatar, and you THINK you may have developed Old Fogey Syndrome?!?!? :uhoh: Are you kidding me? Let me let you in on a little secret from further down the old fogey hill: Expecting someone raised on the Match Game and Gong Show to keep...
