    Mini's

    If only I could bring myself to buy D&D minis. But I just can't make the step from metal minis to plastic ones :confused: Also the fact that you never really know what is in the box makes it a bit hard to get the one mini you really need. Most of the time I shop for cheap Ral Partha or Reaper...

    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    According to CZ1 Yggsburg lies north-east of Dunfalcon (hint?) along the River Nemo (Selintan River?) Either that or you could just replace the free city of Greyhawk with the free city of Yggsburg :)

    Price War...

    It's all a global conspiracy, I tell ye! :uhoh: Seriously, this kind of "price wars" (dunno if that is the right term) is somethig you see from time to time in other markets. Normally everything goes back to standardsafter some time. And then it starts again. I wouldn't start fearing for a...

    "Assassinator?" WTF!

    Sounds like you should go and have a good look at GTA San Andreas and convert it to D&D :p They could have a heck of alot of fun in there

    Why are Dwarves Scottish?

    Gnomes are Swiss, as per: http://www.ifi.unizh.ch/CL/rinaldi/gnomes.html and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnomes_of_Zurich or even http://www.sjgames.com/illuminati/art.html So...Fear us! :]

    What is Gygaxian?

    Add to this that Mister G did write books like Canting Crew Living Fantasy World Builder Essential Places Dunno, but I think that those books pretty much have everything Sundragon is asking for...

    What is Gygaxian?

    OK, I read through the thread again, and there is not evidence of that...Well, ok, with your statement you attempt to start one. But other than that, nope, no edition war. Nothing to see here. No War. Move Along.

    What is Gygaxian?

    Gygaxian= Straight, fun, intense gaming without the attempt to try improv theater and deep psychological experiments at the gaming table. Encounters that ask for all the wits of the players, but they are still manageable. Things are not laid out in front of the players, they have to actually do...

    Why are Dwarves Scottish?

    IMC dwarves are Scandinavian. Also due to the fact that its hard for me to bring a Scottish accent to a german speaking game table :D Aaaand...Scandinavians are the ones drinking insanely large quantities of beer and strong aquavit. Never read of a dwarf drinking whiskey :)

    What is Gygaxian?

    That is so wrong that words fail me to counter the argument :p Aside from the fact that I see no logical reason why one would play such a thing, either in 3E or in older editions. But you would be a nice encounter for my party, I have to give you that :]

    WOTC ad - insulting to gamers?

    Yup, talk about those United Colors of Benetton ads from a few years ago..Brilliant advertising. The ads itself might be questionable when it comes to ethical standards (though I really admired the creativity of them), they produced an awfull lot of discussion around the world.

    WOTC ad - insulting to gamers?

    Just my opinion. Our hobby asks for being mocked. I mean, have a little chat with your friend about last days game session while sitting in the subway. Then closely watch people slowly back away from you while you talk about that cool fight with that group of orcs and how you chopped off their...

    Coolest. Gaming Set-up. Evar.

    if you use a notebook you can the extended display features (like I plan to use). With that setting you do not have a task bar on the projector screen since that one is only displayed on the main screen (the notebook). Otherwise you could use the "Auto-hide" feature in XP to hide the takbar. It...

    Adventure Wiki?

    You know, this is a freakin cool idea....I think there are thousands of pieces of paper flowing around with adventure hooks, campaign ideas and self-made modules in the drawers of all those DMs reading and posting at ENWorld. This content alone would be worth the effort to open such a wiki...

    What Makes A Horror Campaign Scary?

    I know Alien 1 almost made me crawl under my sofa when I saw it the first time :) It was even more disturbing when I later made a visit to the Giger museum here in Switzerland. He absolutely knows what it needs to frighten people just by looking at a painting :confused: Alien works because...

    Neverwinter Nights -- Classic D&D adventures?

    Well if you have played the version that I think you did then its no wonder that you think it doesn't reflect the original B2. The author clearly states in the readme notes that this version of B2 is an altered version he dm'ed years ago and that is does vary quite a bit compared to the original...

    Helpme get a new video card

    I would recommend a passively cooled Gigabyte Nvidia GF 6600 GT. The less noise the better :) http://stores.tomshardware.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=6315637 I have two cards of those (but PCI-e versions) and I am qui(e)t happy with them.

    Coolest. Gaming Set-up. Evar.

    I am not talking two computers, I am talking about one computer with a dual-head setup (two monitors on one computer -> Projector/Notebook screen). The DM and the client part of Klooge are running on the same computer at the same time. Try it out and you will know what I mean. I tested it...
