I run a PBEM game and I do all the dice rolling for combat, etc... My only exception is that I let the players use an email dice server to roll for HP when levelling up. It emails me and them and this way it keeps them from saying that I cheated them of HP. Most of my players in the game I...

Said it before, will say it again. Food makes wonderful minis(for monsters) M&M's - different colors for the DM to keep track of monsters. You get to eat the monster you kill. Goldfish - also very good. Larger monsters - cookies, crackers, etc.... Cheap, fun and yummy! --*Rob

Cool templates - anyone know where I can get a template like those of a D20? I want to make Fuzzy D20 to hang in my car. --*Rob

Have a Cleric with the Brew Potion feat. 9th level. He can brew potions of 3rd level and lower spells. Just curious -what will he need in the future to be able to brew potions for spells above 3rd level? --*Rob

We play with minis - usually just for the PC's (although if one of us has an appropriate mini for a particular monster we use it). I've posted on this before - we use food for monsters. M&M's, peanuts, goldfish - whatever's handy and on the table. Whoever lands the killing blow gets to eat...

We've had two folks in our gaming group have kids and it did not affect us in any big way. One was when our DM and his wife had a baby, we had a 2 month hiatus and then came back to playing just fine. Since both of them play in the game it was pretty easy since we played at their house. The...

Way OT - but don't know where else to ask this... Did the Simpsons CCG go the way of all the laid off employees from WOTC? Just put to rest? Just curious - maybe someone here knows... --*Rob

Just want to dispel some myths about the PS2 presented here: "One word of warning. While i would suggest either the Xbox or PS2, be warned, the PS2 has a tendancy to lost it's ability to play certain discs. Mine won't play most silver discs, however it seems random as to which types of discs it...

Re: Rights, voting, and off-year elections Actually - if more folks started using their HEAD when voting we might be better off. Our two party system really blows. Folks like to vote for a winner, or vote for one of the two big parties. Unfortunately, change is not going to come about from...

If you can get a ride out of Philly - head to the Gamer's Realm on Rt. 130 in Cinnaminson. They have a ton of AD&D stuff. If you are looking for something specific call them first and I'm sure ROb Placer will do his best to have it there for you. www.gamersrealm.com For info on them. --*Rob

This is not true and it seems you have bent the truth quite a bit. What is going on in Australia - is that the government ruled that mod chips are legal - thus Microsoft is quite peeved - because this means you can pirate games quite easily for the Xbox. With very few 3rd party developers and...

Let me just say - I LOVE Gamer's Realm - but last time I was in there, I was incredibly ticked off. I went in to get Issue #300 of DRAGON (yeah I know, I should subscribe already). Anyway - just minutes after I arrived - an employee arrived with the copies of the magazine fromn the other store...

I am hooked on Kingdom Hearts right now. RPG'ing with the Disney characters is great fun! That game is just so great, and both adults and kids will enjoy. But we need to know what kind of games YOU like to make recommendations. If you want something D&D like - Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance is...

What you seek is herE: www.cafepress.com/d20shirts Censored version here: www.cafepress.com/d20shirts2 I think I'm gonna get my whole gaming group shirts as X-mas gifts! (Gee I hope they're not reading this!) --*Rob

I just want to say this to the people who say "give up gaming your marriage is more important" That's not the way to approach it. If you give up gaming completely - something that you value in your life, something that has been part of your life for so long - you will end up only with feelings...

Let me just say this - all of the advice given so far has been excellent. I just want to offer this piece of advice: There is something called the "dialogue wheel." This 'device' allows people to explore an issue in depth. The idea is to first make sure that all defenses are down. Then...

We usually do not play without a player there. We have on rare occasion played - and the DM controls the missing player's character on autopilot for the most part. However - our usual plan if someone is going to be missing but we still want to play is to still get together and play a...

A place with really cheap minis is www.discounthobby.com Find what you want at one of the other sites and then see if they have what you need... --*Rob

I'll second the food idea. Edible minis for monsters are a great thing. Whatever snacks are handy serve us quite well. M&M's are nice - different colors for each creature so the DM can keep track. We also use goldfish crackers often. For the health conscious - grapes work quite well...
