I think this is something that every sci-fantasy or sci-fi setting has to accept. As soon as you include science into the mix people will start to relate and compare to the real world; even more so if Earth is the main place of the setting. Most of the best sci-fi settings or novels are based...

The thing is that after 1 billion years humanity will have de/evolved so much that I am not sure how recogniseable they would be to us. That is if humanity is even destined to survive a billion years from now on if you believe some of the scientific papers regarding human evolution and the...

It was worth getting up early for the livestream. Those guys were happy as kids on a birthday party when the successful landing was confirmed by the first pic coming in; I almost shed a tear of joy over this feat. The press conference was even better with the landing team entering the room like...

Looks like they try to prevent big companies from using Kickstarter as some kind of PR platform by restricting pledge rewards to a certain level. So far none of the bigger companies have used KS to "evaluate" the desire for their upcoming product but given the recent increase of popularity and...

Thanks, I've googled him up now. He looks and acts like Lewis Prothero :erm:

What is the title of this trace job? Taxrat vs. Rush Limbough? Don't really like the trace job version, looks like a fast photoshop thing (which it probably is). The "artist" used internet textures on layers and did some fast shading over them. You can't compare that to the work done on...

Radiating Gnome Here is pic I did yesterday during our game session. The map is part of the Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk (last level). The maps are mostly done in Campaign Cartographer, spiced up a bit in PaintShop Pro and then shown via maptools (including fog of war and lighting)...

We have this rule: "Roll HP die when you level; 1 or 2 as a result = reroll" We did fine with that so far and it is a nice mix between the two extremes (take what is on the die / full HP per new level).

It would not speak for the D&D community if they would buy a product blindly just because it has the D&D logo on it. That would be blind fandom, which in my books never is a good thing. And I think also back in 3.x or even earlier the fans did not just by D&D products based on pure faith. We...

I was experimenting with my projector as well but the whole setup is just so messy unless you can dedicate a room to it and do a fixed installation of the beamer. The other thing is that you have the issues of the shadows that are thrown by the minis and your hands, which can be quite...

Very easy, the TV has a very good view angle (mine is a Samsung UE46C6000) and great contrast Not much at all because the glass is only a few millimeters thick. You will always know if you are within a grid field or not and it will not distract you from playing on the screen No, I use D&D...

20 years ago we started playing in the basements of churches (community rooms you could ask to use for a weekend or so) and we built our dungeons with matches and used pebbles and dice for monsters, and sometimes the odd Ral Partha mini for NPCs . Today we play in my apartment and our battle...

While I will certainly try to get my hands on some of the items I really would prefer if there were some kind of RPG museum that would gather the most relevant items to be preserved and shown to the interested public. Given the history of roleplaying games I was always wondering why such a...

The bright background with dark text is certainly better to read on my tablet. Especially when sitting on th balcony with alot of ambient light on a bright sunny day.

On a good screen it does not really matter what background you have but I have to say that i actually like the white background for reading ENworld on a tablet. The screen is much smaller there and you often read stuff out in the open (like on the balcony) and in such circumstance black on white...

Currently reading the Spinward Fringe series written by Randolph Lalonde on my Kindle (get a Kindle! It is a great way to read books from authors you would never hear of otherwise!). It's a gripping sci-fi saga that starts like a space piracy opera and continues into an epic tale about saving...

Having used both applications for quite some time I have to say that CC3 is superior to Dundjinni mainly for the sophisticated functions that you would normally find in a CAD program. The complexity of CC3 is much lower than it was with CC2 so I'd say that in terms of a learning curve it is not...

ENWorld never fails to amaze me. The moment you get settled in and somewhat cozy around the old house that is ENWorld they shake you up and throw such amazing things right into your face. Well done Morrus and Team! Can't wait to see what this WOTBS-Online is going to look and feel.
