    Elvis person or Beatles person?

    Neither choice defines who I am in any way, shape or form. What characteristics are inherent in being either an Elvis or a Beatle person?

    Can you tell me how to get to Ol’-Skool street?

    Go with what you know and what you're already comfortable with. You're trying to recreate a feel, not get bogged down learning a new system. Better yet, play a system that the DM is more comfortable with than the players. Let them learn as they go.....that's half the fun and will help...

    Classic fantasy cartoons you used in your campaign

    Now why you wanna throw me under the bus like that? :p I still haven't figured out how I'm supposed to facilitate their reproduction process (hoping there might be some advice in the latest Dragon that I have not received yet). Also, while it's not fantasy per se, a long time ago I based a...

    The Golden Age of Gaming

    Agreed. To me a "Golden Age" hearkens back to a semi-romanticized earlier time. This is when the groundwork was laid, everything was fresh and exciting. There may be a larger number of RPGers now, but the game was definitely more in the public consciousness back then. The 2e era was more of...

    Necromancer/White Wolf hacked

    Really? Didn't know that. Do they have a sign up or is it one of those anonymous warehouses? You're not responsible for this are you? ;)

    White Wolf hacked

    This kind of situation just sucks all-around mainly because it creates paranoia and probably uncalled for stress.....I blame myself and the affected sites for being so damn insecure, and the hackers for the rest.

    Necromancer/White Wolf hacked

    Yeah, this all bites. I'm registered on judgesguild.com and necromancer, but only for the forums and such. I haven't purchased anything there or from White Wolf directly. Thankfully I used some bizarre login and password that I have to double-check every time to get into Necromancer.

    World Cup draw complete!

    Paraguay will not be a pushover. It should be a good match and England had some monumental collapses in recent international matches.

    White Wolf hacked

    Not sure if I'm posting this in the right place...... When I try to access judgesguild.com I get a message stating that White Wolf has been hacked and the hackers are trying to extort money from the company in exchange for not exposing private user info. Anybody know what's up with that? Does...

    What Tech Level is the Hobbit?

    OK, it's not The Hobbit per se, but at the end of the trilogy (I think, "The Scouring of the Shire" is the name of the chapter) it's apparent that the Shire was actually just one societal evolutionary step away from an industrial revolution. That would make it fairly advanced in many ways I...

    Affect of a 3,000ft cliff on the landscape

    Instead of "wall-like", maybe think "on top of" ala tepui. http://www.canyonsworldwide.org/tepui/ Tepuis are very dramatic and produce massively tall waterfalls. Unknown and little known species live atop tepuis (assuming that's the pl. of tepui). And I agree with runtime.....why stop at...

    World Cup draw complete!

    Yeah them.....but see also Trinidad & Tobago, Costa Rica, Angola, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, Togo and Tunisia. None of them will pass the first round. Disagree? Put your money where your mouth is. BTW - I'll be pulling for Iran of that bunch since that's my wife's home-country.

    World Cup draw complete!

    Agreed on both counts. USA's draw could've been a lot tougher. England should move on. Group C strikes me a potentially the toughest at first glance.

    World Cup draw complete!

    The draw is complete! Team USA draws Italy, Czech Rep., and Ghana. Tough but manageable. Here are the groups: http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/051209/1/5nx0.html

    Are you put off by "Creative" Campaign Settings?

    Personally I am not turned off by "non-traditional" settings. However, I think it is difficult to find a group that is willing to sustain a long-tern campaign in such a setting. In the past I've unsuccessfully tried Mesoamerican and African based campaigns, and had a little more success with...

    Dave Arneson/Blackmoor chat tonight - submit your questions here!

    It seems that many people consider the Blackmoor setting to be a northern extension of Judges Guild's Wilderlands campaign world (despite the difference in hex scale). I wonder if D. Arneson views it that way himself?
