    Why won't the glue work? (minis)

    This is the best solution...two part epoxies that are aimed at metals. I went this route when my dragon that I had sitting on my computer monitor fell apart and came crashing down on my keyboard. As Ottergame mentions, make sure you get it right the first time because you are just as likely...

    Question about a link and a follow-on questions.

    It gets down to the fact that I'm much more interested in the opinions here on ENWorld than elsewhere. You spend a couple of years reading people's posts and you start to get a sense of respect and interest in what those people have to say. thanks, Ysgarran.

    Question about a link and a follow-on questions.

    I might be overly cautious here but is it expected that questions regarding the '4.0 D&D' (http://www.silven.com/adnd.asp?case=show&id=199) link be followed up on the silven boards or can we post questions regarding Mr. Ferguson's article here on the ENWorld boards? Given some of the...

    Modern Book Binding Machines.

    I heard this on NPR this morning: http://www.npr.org/features/feature.php?wfId=1593646 Someone has a professional book binding machine that sells for about 1300$. I don't know what the 'per book'/'per page' costs would be using a machine like this. The NPR article mentions that it might be...

    [Jan] What are you reading?

    I'm currently reading: "The Closing of the Western Mind : The Rise of Faith and the Fall of Reason" by Charles Freeman. I'm starting a campaign set in a pseudo Roman Empire. The empire is under pressure from within (a corrupt church) and without (Barbarian hordes that are both jealous of the...

    Will anyone stand up to George Lucas?

    I'm not sure why, but you are correct, there definately is a lot of commentary in making those comparisons. I get the impression that are alot of people out there who really wish that Mr. Lucas had spaced the three SW movies much closer together. Instead of taking rather than taking 6 years...

    Will anyone stand up to George Lucas?

    This is from a NY Times article a few weeks back that I thought was right on the money. At least it made a lot of sense to me. I know that I do not plan to go see the final installment. The second one just had too many "I'm watching someone play a video game" moments for me. Edit: The...

    How long have we all been playing RPGs?

    Summer of 1977 (12 years old) on the Michigan State University campus. I was there for a chess competition and had some time between games. I saw some older kids playing with some strangely shaped dice. I had just finished 'The Hobbit' and when I heard the talk of dwarves and dragons I was...

    Class Levels and Dragons.

    Yes, I was confusing the two. Thanks for the input. The party will be running into some of Dragons 'sons' so I can gauge just how tough to make the final encounter. Ysgarran.

    Class Levels and Dragons.

    I'm working on the final encounter for my campaign which will be a battle with a Ancient Red Dragon. After this the campaign will be going into semi-retirement and have a very good chance of not being played again. Now the question I have is what is the correct way to add class levels to a...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 Darkness Spell - Otherwise known as "Huh?"

    Well, here is the way we are running the new 3.5 darkness. Basically there is a hierarchy for darkness versus light. The rule is the prevaling light is the 'baseline' and the darkness spells moves prevaling light one step towards darkness. For example, if the caster was outside under the...

    An "appropriate" system for LOTR?

    My first no-brainer of the day. Of COURSE I'd love to see it. I'm pretty sure that I'm not just speaking for myself.

    Are women just bored of the rings?

    The reviewer (CARYN JAMES) never mentions whether she has read the books or not either. I get the strong impression that she has not read them. Or if she has read them she is not a fan of the works. Ysgarran.

    D&D 3.5 Orcs: back to Tolkien?

    http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=books/main/classicshobbit I have a question about Treants though. I heard on NPR that Ents were an original creation of Tolkiens. That Ents were a piece of his work that didn't find inspiration in mythology. Can anyone confirm this or not? later, Ysgarran.

    Doh, Thanks, I had a sneaky suspicion I was missing something obvious. Ysgarran.

    Shillelagh Question.

    How much damage does a Shillelagh spell do when cast on a medium size quarterstaff? The SRD says: There seems to be a discrepancy. A medium quarterstaff does 1d8, one size category would be 2d6, two size categories larger would be 3d6? Medium Large Huge 1d8 2d6 3d6 1d10 2d8...
