Since I've started with the weekly gaming club I've used more from both magazines than I had since the 2e years. Even back in 2e, Dungeon was always more use to me than Dragon. Often I'd take one of their shorter adventures and use it to fill out something I'd come up with myself. The big...

There's a way to do that already. A couple actually. 1. When clicking on a thread with new messages since your last visit, don't click on the thread title, but aim for the little box just to the left of it. In the Player's Handbook style it looks like a box with a ">" inside that has been...

Glad to hear you're safe and dry. Don't have a link, but I was thankful and amazed to hear on the news last night that there have been no reported deaths resulting from the flood. I really hope they manage to get the water repaired before Hurricane Ivan comes along and knocks it back out again.

Glad to hear your family and home are okay. And yeah, "mountains" and "flooding" aren't two things people usually associate with each other. Which makes it that much worse because it seems next to no one around here has flood insurance.

The remnants of Hurricane Frances hit Western North Carolina with a vengeance last night. According to news reports Biltmore Village (near the world famous Biltmore Estate) was under 7 feet of water earlier today. The main water treatment plant is offline, the governor's declared a state of...

I lived in the Raleigh area for about a year and a half in 2000 and 2001. Based on your description I'm fairly certain I know the store you're talking about. I will tell you bluntly that because of the shrinkwrap policy I *never* bought a single book there, even if I knew for 100% certain that...

Rel just said in half a sentence what I was about to take a few paragraphs to say. Do something *different*. If you're only playing for one session then game balance isn't really an issue so long as everyone has fun. This is your chance to be experimental and try out the weird ideas or game...

Bummer, Map-A-Week was a useful feature. Hope this doesn't mean they'll be retiring the Free Adventures next, as those have been going on about as long as Map-A-Week had. BTW, for the convenience of anyone looking for it, here's a link to the Map-A-Week Archive...

Sound advice, except maybe that I neglected to mention I was having the same dream when 1E was still the current edition. :) I think it's probably a variation on a dream I used to have where I'd walk into a store and find a left-over cache of Star Wars toys from the 1980's. Those finally...

I've had a recurring dream about D&D. I wander into some store (sometimes a game store, sometimes a book store, sometimes a store that wouldn't normally sell D&D stuff), and discover among the shelves a previously unknown (to me) 1E AD&D book. It's always an awesome find that will...

Talus is my real and legal first name. "Cyber" is just something I started tacking on cuz Talus is usually taken. My avatar is a self-portrait I did in crayon several years back. My beard is significantly longer now, but otherwise it's still pretty close. And my sig is just a placeholder...

I am, in fact that's how I found RPG Shop in the first place. I was looking for something the local shops didn't have and thought "Hmm, doesn't ENWorld have a game store?"

Buzz. Whether it's among the people I game with, or here at ENWorld, the more I notice other people talking about a product, the more likely I am to notice it. However, buzz is not always a positive. Even if the comments are positive, if the buzz tells me a product is about something that...

I too appreciate ENWorld and all that Morrus and the Admins and Moderators do to give us a place to exchange rumors, news, and points of views. I usually don't jump in on these kinds of threads because I'm not much of a joiner / bandwagon rider, but this time I've got something different to...

I bought a starter and two booster packs at the local game store yesterday (and pre-ordered another starter and two boosters from RPGShop as well). My 8-year-old nephew and I have already played a couple of games, and I'd be hard pressed to tell you which of us had the most fun. From what I've...

If I lived in Florida I wouldn't so much be annoyed about being slammed twice in about a month, but about being slammed on two *weekends* in about a month. Don't hurricanes ever hit on Mondays? Anyhow, in all seriousness, I hope everyone and their property remains safe and not soggy.

This one gets my vote too, because it means I never have to turn 40. Though I would've also been tempted to vote for "If I could predict the future I'd be too busy playing the stock market, the lottery, and D&D with a well-paid DM to actually have time to answer this question." In other...

I can relate somewhat to your players, Crothian. While I've never had a DM just let me assign stats, as a DM there have been times when I was trying to stat up important NPCs that I would write out several sets of stats, toss them, and then go grab my dice instead. While I would usually tweak...

I've placed two orders with RPG Shop so far (and will be placing number three here very shortly), and have been very satisfied with them. I expect online stores to have a huge selection, but they keep exceeding my expectations there. I also like that their default shipping method is Priority...
