    Site idea - Gamers in the Military

    Having a board to find local gamers would be useful. Listing it by military bases IMO would be the best way to organize it, as most bases have multiple units and from several branches. Lots of links to mail order and online shops would also be helpful. While in the Marines (1983-1989) I ran a...

    D&D Online

    I believe they said they will have low and high res settings available, but your setup appears to be a very years old. Are you able tp play Doom 3 or Half-Life 2 (even on the low settings) with it? For now just bumping up your graphics card to a 128 Meg video card would help, though a 256 Meg...

    Personalities in the Gaming Industry and Politics

    I have to admit that SKR's website really irked me last year, so that I quit visiting his website and made it a point not to buy any products with his name on them. Secondly because he was working on a project with Monte Cook, I also stopped visiting his website and chose to boycott his...

    Weird MS Word problem

    Assuming you want to keep the track changes edits marked. Uising Office XP/2003, leave track changes turned on, but on the reviewing toolbar switch to "Final" view. You won't be able to see the tracked changes, but in the background the computer is tracking them. See if you can page up and...

    Is heavy armor overblown?

    Because you are probably thinking in the context of higher than baseline stats. The designers have to think within the framework of the core rules 25 point buy. The whole game is built from around that - skills, saves, spell DCs, armor class, etc. How much fun would it be to play a character...

    Problems running Temple of Elemental Evil

    Uninstall it first and reinstall after defraging your HD. Then try running it again, if it works apply patchs (there were two or three patches). If that does not work, take the CD-ROM from your older machine and install it in your new machines and see if that works. Sounds strange, but my...

    Magic Item Creator

    Not right now, though its not that hard - just time consuming. Also I was trying to keep the sheet from getting too large by adding too many options. Though I believe I have an idea to add more options without making the sheet too large - it would require a bit of rewrite though...(more time)...

    Magic Item Creator

    Ok I fixed it now so that when you enter "0 or 0.5" for spell level; it equals 0.5 in the equation. I also fixed it in the formulas for the stave creator. See v7 in my first post above. The excel calculator is purely an electronic aid for the equations in the DMG. It works pretty well for...

    Region Categories.

    You should add (DC, MD, VA) to cover the Washington Metro Area. You can actually have people from West Virginia, Virginia, and Maryland within 15 minutes of each other. A small group I played in three years ago had WV, VA, MD and DC members all within an hour of each other.

    Alternatives to WotC Minis

    I chose “Maybe - depending on price and quality,” though I have one other factor which is selection. I am tired of fighter platemail two-handed sword, dwarf with axe, cleric with mace What about Fighter in chainmail with flail with shield Fighter in scale mail with short bow Fighter in studded...

    Magic Item Creator

    Updated to v5, see my first post above. Added Sword, Long... quite a few were missing, even some in the missile weapons table. On the armor sheet I added the missing shield abilities (including Bash), I pretty much had to add a bunch of abliites and edit the existing entries. I am not sure to...

    Magic Item Creator

    Magical Armor/Shield Item Creation Added Done, actually it had it said "Not valid weapon" or something simliar, but you couldn't read it in the small box. So I moved the warning to the right and merged several cells to make larger. Still need to perhaps fix those other equations that run off...
