A great place to look for mapping tips, including software recommendations, tutorials, and more is the Cartographer's Guild. There are a bunch of people using different tools out there. Sadly, Dundjinni has died, since many folks really liked that program.

I disagree. My wife is ok with a 200MB a month plan on her iPhone. She doesn't use it much. I use my iPhone a lot, and looking at the last 16 months, I have used between 116 MB and 600MB. Here's what you need to consider: Streaming video and music (i.e. Pandora or Spotify) will use a lot...

My friend (an avid fan of webOS) had an interesting comment. The white 64GB TouchPad was just announced for Europe today, and then we hear they're killing all their devices. None of us expected that, especially since TouchPad has been getting pretty decent reviews. (In the "Someone wouldn't...

Some more crazy ideas for monetization: Have a link that automatically does a reaper mini search (or Paizo mini store) for a fig that matches your weapon, armor, and race. Online marketplace for character portraits, either off-the-shelf or commissioned. Links into Paizo store or Amazon...

So far, with little detail, there's some stuff I like. It looks like a web app, so it should work with Mac and the iPad. A view of character sheets on the iPhone and other phone-sized displays would be nice. Also, it looks like it'll have a fairly clean design, and won't look like faux...

A lot of it depends on the kind of campaign you're running. On my back burner is a BECMI Wizard Academy campaign where EVERYONE is a wizard, no ifs ands or buts. It will work, because everything in the campaign will be crafted with a casting party as the core assumption. If you're making up...

The dragon is in scale with normal 28mm figs. (And comes with one as a rider.) When I get it painted I am SOOOO using it in an encounter.

Another option is Lynda.com. The link (which gives me nothing, btw) offers you a seven-day trial, and it's $25 a month after that. Lynda.com is a library of videos on how to use lots and lots of software. I've used it to learn a whole bunch about using the Adobe applications, but they also...

I saw this at Gencon, and it's immense, and incredibly detailed. It will probably take me forever to paint....

I love online content, and in fact, I'm busily scanning all my old Dragon and Dungeon magazines since they're searchable. There's something to be said, though, for the magazine format. Reading through the old Dragons, I like the mix of letters, ads, classifieds, editorial, and articles. The...

I know of kleenex and xerox, but I don't believe there was ever a company named Zipper from which the devices were named. (According to Wikipedia, they were popularized by B F Goodrich.)

You're still playing with that guy? You've come twice in three months to find a way to salvage this campaign, because this guy is frustrating the DM and other players so much the campaign is on life support. RPGs are supposed to be fun. They are not a social obligation. They shouldn't be a...

This is actually the reason I'm getting the Ion Book Saver when it comes out. I have all the GAZ products, and doubles of a couple, but I want decent electronic backups.

Sunday 2-4 still isn't full? I'll happily join Thunderfoot during that time.

Our group has found that the Mr Clean Magic Eraser does work like magic at removing even dry erase marks from a chessex matt.

In theory, it was supposed to be updated in July. Unfortunately there is not a lot of time left.

I read it as Epic Investor, and thought that it was a game in which you found promising startups, invested cash with such strings that you crushed the founders, sold out to large companies getting boatloads of cash while the original company died in the merger.

That's basically what I've done, by sticking with earlier editions. I'm concerned that the business model is based on putting out products until you glut the market, then switching the ruleset and doing the same products again with different mechanics. I think the edition wars we've had are a...

On the other hand, Amazon may have only ordered 1.2 mil because none of the iPad competitors has managed iPad volumes, and they don't want to be stuck with a bunch of unsellable stock.

The 3rd Gen iPod Touch is equivalent to the iPhone 3GS and should be fine on both iOS 4 and 5.
