    Looking For A Huge Green Dragon Mini!

    I've found they hold up pretty well to a repaint, but I haven't tried to remove any of the existing paint. I'm no expert though - I'm a bit better than a slop 'n go, but nowhere near a competitive-level paintsmith.

    Frank Mentzer, Tim Kask, Jim Ward and Chistopher Clarke form Eldritch Enterprises

    All apologies - most (if not all) of that hyperbole was mine. I'll definitely be picking up some Eldritch Enterprises products at the convention. But now I've just gotta ask - does a dukl sound like Burgess Meredith?

    Yup. I think the pictures actually helped - they were anchor points that kept my story from straying too far away from where it needed to go.

    Menu for a humanoid tavern

    Little sacks of lady fingers. Somewhere in the bag there's a prize, but most of the time it's just a cheap knock-off ring. Rat on a stick, for monsters on the go. Chilled gnome brains. They leave the eyes in so they'll see you through the week.

    4/21~22: Xenocon, with GoH Frank Mentzer!

    A reminder and update: XenoCon is a go! Not only will we have the great and powerful Frank Mentzer, but there will be a veritable slew of games to choose from: The Grindhouse Arena Wife Swap - Pirates vs. Ninjas (two tables, two GMs, one weird reality show!) TPK Games Magic: The Gathering...

    maxfieldjadenfox, I will try my very best to win for us both. You were a wonderfully fun rival, and you taught me that elderberries are actually quite a pleasant scent! And a big thank you to the judges for your time, your critiques, and your incredible fashion sense.

    Designing a convention RPG tournament

    The adventures I can do, and I actually have them mostly written (they'll be based on a fun adventure I wrote for my home campaign a few years back); I'm more concerned about the administration side of things. Examples: Scoring: Should I go with best teams advance, or should we advance...

    Excellent! Mr. Mentzer, is there any chance you'll be giving us a sneak peek at XenoCon? :)

    Designing a convention RPG tournament

    Thanks! Y'know, if you can make it out to Iowa, you can even give it a try for yourself. ;) And maybe even sit in on a game with Frank Mentzer, too!

    Designing a convention RPG tournament

    I have... this... thing. When I come up with an idea for a game, it tends to be completely over the top. (I'm pretty sure it's a major disad. Just ask my wife.) My next project: I want to organize and run a role-playing tournament at a local convention. I've got a little over a year to put it...

    Help me find some groomsmen's gifts!

    First off, congratulations! You could probably find cool groomsmen gifts at ThinkGeek, Etsy, or other sites. Lots of awesome stuff to choose from!

    Just like the Postman, Death always rings twice... ;-)

    I know far better than to go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line...

    CERAMIC DM March 2012

    Thank you very much, Deuce. I realized too late that I didn't include any explanation about the transference of the Gift. I meant to say that the Caretaker actually selects his own successor - Digger had already been chosen by the previous Suraiym, and at the end Digger chose his own best...

    Equipment and Persnickety Details

    We've been using 3x5 cards just like this in our campaign for well over a year now. It rocks. A lot. But we've discovered a couple of small concerns with 'em. - Misplaced cards suck. A lot. I strongly recommend that you find some way to store item cards so they can't be accidentally lost. -...

    Player Distractions.

    I've also had to deal with a player falling asleep, but in his defense, most of those incidents were on nights where he'd come straight to the game after a 12-hour shift in the factory. We couldn't blame the guy for that.

    Player Distractions.

    At our table there's an unwritten agreement: Everybody participates. No wandering off, no texting, no internet, no distractions. Granted, conversations frequently wind up wandering onto lots of silly tangents, but I think that's pretty normal for most gaming groups. Especially in combat, it's...
