For my money, GURPS is a great fantasy RPG. I used the 3rd Edition for years as my fantasy campaign. I understand that using the 4th Edition is even better. If you add the GURPS Dungeon Fantasy pdfs you are all set to play.

My secondary group meets every Tuesday night from 7pm to 9pm or 9:30. The current incarnation of the group has been playing together for about 8 years. The campaign, with players coming and going over the years, has been going on since about 1985, I think. The demographics of this group is a...

The current main group I am in has been playing for 5 years, though the core of the group has been playing since the early 90s. Let's see, group demographics: Male, 43, Administrator/Desktop Publisher/Editor Female, 42, Legal Executive Assistant Male, 45, Unemployed Medical Admin Male, 50...

I also can't turn this bias off on physical dice like you can on a dice app. Back in the early days of UCSD Pascal I even wrote a program to give you either fair dice or biased, so I know it can be done. Unless I know the ins and outs of an app (i.e., the code) I cannot tell if the app has a...

I remember being fascinated by the Dragonbone when it came out. I wasn't sure if I would use it though. I did not know anything about the random number generator they were using. These days, because I know how easy it can be to program a dice roller, I would not allow one in my game? Why...

You know, I bought quite a few of the random minis, mainly because I liked getting oddball ones that forced me to be creative in order to use them. I would have preferred to get non-randomized minis, so I could get all the ones I wanted, but that was not possible from WotC. I bought a few...

Actually, that menu was from June, when we last played. We won't be playing again until late October of this year. I have to ask our chef of that meal where the asparagus came from, since I honestly don't know. I was not shopping with him that day. :D

I guess I should mention what we eat. We have a large group, 10 in all, so we tend to make big meals. We have things like: barbecue beef brisket with garlic mashed potatoes and fresh green beans; roasted turkey with potatoes, turnips, corn, biscuits, and gravy; roast beef with rice (or boiled...

The best thing to remember about using wine for cooking is this: Do not use a wine that you would not like to drink by itself. Believe it or not, that makes a big difference in the taste. Plus, do not be afraid of marinating at room temperature. Nothing will happen to you if you do, and many...

My group is currently happy playing a modified version of 3e and has no real plans to change editions any time soon. I would like to get them to try a lot of different games, most especially Silver Age Sentinels (Tri-Stat Edition) or GURPS 4th Ed. Sadly, I don't see this happening any time...

I have thought about uploading some stuff, but have been incredibly busy lately. Plus, all the stuff I would be uploading would not be 4e. Some would be 3e, and some would possibly be Silver Age Sentinels material, since that is my latest obsession. So, once October comes around and I get...

(from your livejournal blog) Glad to have sold you some of Doctor Wizard's Patented Elevation Indicators. Did you get any of the large or huge base extenders? In case you are wondering, I was the wizard wearing the blue outfit with the circlet. Sure had a lot of fun selling those things, I...

This is what I assumed when I saw them at my booth. That many people wearing the same shirt made me think they came with them. Considering they were all pretty large guys, I didn't figure anyone had that many XXXL or larger shirts available.

Would you like me to send a PM or an email, or just spill my guts here, so to speak? Oh, and I noticed that you are local to me! Well, on the other side of the metro area. The Elevation Indicator was invented by my friend from St. Cloud. Come visit us at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival...

We were in booth 305, right next to the autograph area. We were selling the Origin's Award nominated Doctor Wizard's Patented Elevation Indicator. We also had new products for using the EI with larger figures. It was a lot of fun hawking our wears and meeting all sorts of people. If you...

I saw a group of folks wearing that particular shirt. It appeared to be one entire gaming group. They stopped by my booth to look at our products, which is the only reason why I know the shirts existed. Very busy convention otherwise. I didn't even get a chance to stop by your booth. :(

I have to admit, it's rather funny to see myself and my booth in the background of several of your pictures! I spent most of GenCon at booth 305 selling Doctor Wizard's Patented Elevation Indicators. I got to take some time and talk to the folks signing autographs when I had a few minutes, and...

There are a couple of easy ways of printing nice cardstock counters. The first is really the cheapest. Print them on regular paper. Get yourself an empty cereal box, or any box of similar thickness. Open the box so it lays flat. Spray the inside of the box with some spray adhesive (from any...

I thought so too, but then I am a bit of a language geek. Strange, since I was not one in school.

I have got to agree with you on the first part. When the corrigenda* is posted, it should also be incorporated in the next printing. It should immediately be entered into the pdfs. Known errors should be corrected as soon as possible. Sure, if the error is found less than a couple months...
