    Subscription to Dragon?

    The fulfillment company that handles Dragon really sucks right now. It took them 3 months to start my gift subscription and they screwed it up. I will say that Pierce Watters at the magazine (their circulation director) was more than helpful in getting it straightened out. I'd email him at...

    [Dungeon] Subscription Issues

    Yes, the Dragon management has been extremely helpful. I don't want them to be swamped, but then again, if folks start emailing them directly about these issues, maybe they'll be inclined to put more pressure on the fulfillment company to work a bit harder at resolving these issues. I'd say 12...

    [Dungeon] Subscription Issues

    I had many issues getting my gift subscription started. Thanks to Pierce Waters - the circ director at Paizo I got them resolved. I'd recommend contacting him. His email is pw@paizopublishing.com I will say this: I don't think the folks at Paizo have anything to do with any issues you might...

    [Dragon] Free 3.5 DM Screen for Subscribers

    How are they going to stop my mailman from flexing the magazine/DM screen when he puts it in my mailbox? Most of us don't have big mailboxes that accomodate flat magazines.... --*Rob

    Should I become a Rule's Lawyer?

    >>> Should I become a Rule's Lawyer? <<< Well this depends entirely on how much the Rule is willing to pay you to defend him in a court of law. I suppose you could do it pro bono - but then what's the point? Unless of course the Rule is actually looking to sue someone else for a great sum of...

    Turn order cards?

    There's an Avery sheet that is all 3x5 index cards. You could take a screen shot of either of those, crop the graphic and place it directly in the Word Template and then print directly on the card. You could even set up text boxes on the document in Word, and type all the numbers right into...

    Any new (or old) utilities for Palm?

    Are there any DND 3E utilities out there for the Palm? Wasn't there going to be a good one that was one associated with this site? ANy other ones worth using out there? --*Rob

    Player's Owning the Monster Manual?

    Our rule is that players do not have access to the MM without special permission from the DM during a game session. As a Cleric - and able to summon creatures, I made up index cards of the creatures I ordinarily summon (with stats and such on it). When I summon one I hand it to the DM, this...

    [OT] Gas Prices

    <sigh> I wish folks would look up their spam on Snopes.com before they post it. See: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/petition/gasout.htm For complete debunk on how this won't work in the slightest. Claim: Boycotting a couple of gasoline brands will bring overall gas prices down. Status...

    Dragon #306

    I too like the comics. I read Nodwick online as well and Zogonia has a unique style. Dork Tower is also usually pretty funny. I'd rather have the comics then the fiction. Of course nothing beats KODT! --*Rob

    Dragon #306

    Update: I got my issue 306 yesterday, so much for Paizo telling me it started mailing on 3/12. Don't have it here at work. I know one other person who has also received it. --*Rob

    Time Between Game Sessions Help

    Set up a Yahoo Group for your players. Do some role play by email during the down time. It will keep all interested and is also a great forum to discuss Metagame issues. --*Rob

    [ot] I Got Springsteen Tickets!

    Please don't put them up on ebay- don't give in and be a scalper. Sell them to a Springsteen fan who couldn't get tickets for face value. Legally you can't sell them for more than 20% of face value anyway. It is realy a shame how much people are paying for tickets these days. Please fight...

    How to DM D&D over email/online?

    Thanks, I do that for EACH round, which - if you have a group willing to post once a day - will get you a round a day, which for a PBEM is not half bad, and still gives your player decent control over their characters. I don't like doing multiple rounds - too much "well I would have done X if...

    Best of: Free WotC Adventures

    My players had great fun in the brief "Something's Cooking" in which you encounter a Calzone Golem. It was a nice light break from the regular rigamarole. We had a lot of puns going around - about poking the "dough boy" and killing the "dough-lem." Really fun.... I also used Burning Plague...

    How to DM D&D over email/online?

    Check out www.pbem.com for some more info on DM'ing online. The way I run my two games is that I take care of all rolls as DM. There's an inherent trust a player has to build in for the game to work this way. We concentrate a lot on character and role play. When combat time comes, each player...

    [Slightly OT] [RANT] I HATE MOVING!!

    I'll second the opinion on Rubbermaid containers. You can get 'em on sale for $3 a WalMart. Worth every penny to store anything in. Plus they can be super easy to carry as they have carry handles built in.... I have my entire Mego collection in them. If you're worried about moisture you can...
