Another CS account. Ka-ching! A yearly/quarterly funddrive would be a good thing, I agree. A reminder that my CS account is about to expire would also be nice. :) /Jonas

To avoid the issue, I recommend a Samsung 510N (or later) color laser printer. Decent quality at a (for a color laser) cheap price. According to pricerunner the current model (600N) costs $399.98 at <irony>Staples</irony> (Though I've seen it cheaper elsewhere.) So, if you want to toss them a...

They stated on their forums that they're allowed to sell the back issues as long as they last. Oh, about the comic, they also said that Dragon and Dungeon were profitable. It wasn't Paizo's decision to end the license. (Though I understand that all involved are still friends, Wotc apparently...

Meaning that the RPGA way of using action points will work just fine as an alternative, which makes me happy. :) (They reduce the number of action points and have them reset every *session* instead of every level. Makes a lot more sense to me. See table CS-8 in...

Hmm. I guess it's possible that RQ or Traveller was the primary rpg back when I started roleplaying (1980), but I'm fairly confident it was Dungeons & Dragons. Everyone I knew was into one of those three games before 'Drakar och Demoner' was released, but Dungeons & Dragons seemed the most...

As for me, if there's any DRM beyond watermarking I'm not buying into it. I don't appreciate being treated as a potential thief rather than a customer. Also, when I buy something I *buy* it, I don't license it. So, I want content to be downloadable so I can use it after I've ended my...

This is just barely on topic, but, given that he's written The Wasp Factory, yes, we should be scared of him. Or at least I am. Or at least I was scared when I read the book, oh so many years ago. :) /Jonas

As an (on and off, mostly off :) pcgen developer who has most CMP datasets (I prefer not to think about how much that cost...) I can assure you that the CMP files remaining useful is quite high on at least my priority list. Come <mumble> or high water, those files *will* keep working...

First, make sure you have the proper version of Java installed. Go to http://java.com , click the 'Download Now' button and follow the instructions on the page it takes you to. Once that is installed, try running pcgen again. If it still fails, post to the pcgen yahoo group at...

Probably best to not feed the troll. Just add it to your ignore list. /Jonas, following his own advice

This post contains so many factual errors and misinterpretations that I just can't be bothered to point them out. /Jonas, trying to post without feeding the troll, but probably failing. Trolls are after all omnivorous. Especially Gloranthan ones. :)

Thank you! I remembered liking this story back in the day, but I couldn't remember it's name. It will be interesting to see if it's as funny now as it was back then. /Jonas, wondering what his save against no-save magic is... :)

I don't know about anyone else, but as a european gamer, ebay might as well not exist. There are two reasons for this. The minor one is that quite a few miniatures sellers don't ship worldwide. The big reason is that shipping from the US seems to start at about $5 for a single (and up to about...

<generic_software_buying_advice> Never buy the .0 release. </generic_software_buying_advice>

The way I've done it for my last two campaigns is to set the core books + a few relevant 'world' books as a base, then let each player add one book of their choice (from a long, but somewhat restricted list.) For instance, in my latest campaign I did it like this...

I'm not Bryan, but most likely it was because pcgen started as his 'learn java by writing something cool' project back in 2001. He probably didn't want to add in yet another techology. Then, we just kept poking at the code, most of us learning as we went along. Lots of mistakes (coding as well...

It's written by Adamant Entertainment and published by Green Ronin. http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showbook&bookid=3144 /Jonas

At a guess it's six of one, and half a dozen of the other. I'm hardly an expert on magazine ads, but I do have some experience with it as up until her retirement my mother handled ad sales for several niche magazines (education, history and archaeology) and as it was a family company, I was of...

My unnamed Eberron campaign: * Hal 90, an NG Warforged Bard 5 * Kyros, a CN Shifter Totemist 4 * Archác, a CG Human Warlock 5 * Nev Ar Foo, a CN Halfling Swashbucker 3/Rogue 1 * Ailonan, a CN Elven Duskblade 4 Shared campaign in another DM's world (called Zafir): * Bardin Warvann, a TN Beguiler...

I've heard this idea several times, but never really seen why it would be worth the bother, but for some reason your explanation worked for me. I'll definitely use something like this in my next game instead of all the resurrection spells. So, first figure out a way to persuade the death god...
