    What will Masterplan be after the C&D?

    Given the OGL to GSL fiasco, folks cant really be suprised by GW....er WOTC not wanting to share or have applications tha work with their products. Despite the fact their DDI game table device is way behind schedule from promise.

    Do you keep your Players' character sheets?

    WHy? We mostly keep ours because we also do alot of RPing in email and message boards off the table(alot of side things that each individual has) as to not take up table time from the group. I find it odder that a DM would request/demand it.

    Do you keep your Players' character sheets?

    Generally no. Although us players are responsible for sending updates to the DM if we're going to be absent. I've recently started leaving mine voluntarily with the DM. Easier then uploading one....

    How to get paint off plastic minis?

    Dont listen here, paint thinner will melt plastic minis. It works great for metal, but not plastic. Simple green I think is what uses for plastic

    If your CN folks are hanging around depraved chaos cultists and think that it was pretty cool, their alignments need to start slipping. Kidnapping children, experimenting on them, and other various nasty things.... LG think they can be redeemed and not that bad? I dont think your making them...

    When a DM Starts the Campaign off on the Wrong Foot

    Welcome to Ptolus. My party has the same issues of divided loyalties. The trick of course, is to give them a focus that most of those groups want done. And if they keep abandoning missions and advestures, whose to say that those loyalties dont dry up? Who wants quitters assocaited with their...

    Open Letter To Local Game Stores

    But one should given some explination of why, becuase generally customers ask. And I'm open and honest about it. His complains were valid. His delivery was not.

    Open Letter To Local Game Stores

    It was a pissy answer, but basically right. There reasons why we dont accept Discover(or Amex) any more at our place of business. Dsicoevr really does suck.

    d20 vs. 3d6 "dice heresy" by Chris Sims

    The author then comletely misses the point of the game then. No one ever talks about "hey I'm not hitting enough" or " I'm not hitting consistantly". But in every game I played or folks talked about, for years after, that critical hit or critical fumble that came at the right(or wrong) time....

    Whatever happened to Necromancer Games?

    Right. But they also, during that time, had built up a standard for quality, which if they werent working on DUngeon, you might not have seen what adventures come through. Pathfinder, the adventure path- as a flagship, was still a gamble. It didnt necessarily translate from jumping from the...

    Wizards aiming younger audience

    Your threashold is alot higher then mine. $18 is a trade paperback, its more durable and its all in one spot. I let my daughter(who's 7) read those). And your the same age as me. $4 for a comic is totally to high for kids. You can buy other things for that much- couple match box cars, a small...

    Wizards aiming younger audience

    Yeah but lets be honest, there's more than just "kids dont want to" going on there. Comic book prices are outrageous compared to when I was a kid. Comics went from 50 cents to 1.25 to about $2. When my daughter started liking spiderman, I got sticker shock when I went to get her a comic an it...

    Whatever happened to Necromancer Games?

    Uhm no, not even close. They work pretty hands on with their customer base. Their approachable, and answer your questions.

    When the 4e market is flooded to the point that no one is buying players handbook #5 or 6

    Whatever happened to Necromancer Games?

    Different time and era. PLus they have a long track record of quality, and lots and lots of good will with its customer base. Something which TSR lacked after a time. Its difficult to sell your customers a product if your antagonize them...(see Games Workshop)

    Whatever happened to Necromancer Games?

    Its not just the skill, but what they created. Mearls gets brought up because of some past products, most notably Iron Heros, which seems like a fore runner to what became 4e.

    Whatever happened to Necromancer Games?

    The problem with that is, OGL had the ability to also include ideas from a variety of places. Similar now to what Pathfinder is doing by incorperating OGL items in(for example, several ToH monsters in the AP's). WotC never ever seemed to do so, so any benefit they might have had was wasted on...
