    GenCon Pub Night Tuesday

    I'm coming in Tuesday and it's a short drive from St Louis, so I'm in.

    Terrablox

    Rebrand them "Minecraft blox" and you'll make a mint.

    the tablet war is heating up

    Samsung and Microsoft both have great research arms and come up with a lot of new things. Where Apple excels, I think, is in putting the pieces together in a way that works well together and that's customer-friendly. The iPod wasn't the first MP3 player, the iPhone wasn't the first smartphone...

    Sucker for fonts.

    The ones for the Mac (such as FontExplorer X Pro, which I use) loads and unloads them at the OS level. They also hook into most apps so that if you load a document containing fonts that aren't currently activated, the font manager will activate them on the fly. (FEXPro also can deactivate...

    D&D 4E The "We Can't Roleplay" in 4E Argument

    Pathfinder has added at least one thing that has added great hooks for my gaming group. Character traits are a brilliant addition for helping roleplaying. The way that they are presented, our players were falling over themselves creating background and motivations. There are some general traits...

    Work Appropriate Geekwear

    My wedding ring is the Gear Ring. I can't see anyone in any professional context opposed to it. Watches seem to be another place for expression. There are enough different styles out there you can find something that fits you.

    the tablet war is heating up

    I am a happy Mindnode user. It will also run on the iPhone (universal binary, you don't have to buy it twice) but it's naturally a lot better on the bigger space on a tablet.

    the tablet war is heating up

    Doing that might increase the price of some accessories. The 30-pin connector can output digital signals (easily reproducible with USB) or analog video and audio signals. That makes various docks, speaker systems, etc cheaper since they don't need to include a DAC. The video out cables also...

    Sucker for fonts.

    I haven't bought a 10k font set, but between various fonts that have come with software over the ages, I found that I have over three thousand fonts myself. It's so bad i actually bought font management software to help me keep track of them. One of the most fun (and applicable to RPGs) buys...

    GM Visual Aid public beta

    This is excellent. While I've only been in one game with a PJ, we've been in a lot of games we could have used a flatscreen TV as well to drive things, and a bunch of us are Mac users. In fact, I do have this picoprojector lying around....

    new TERRAIN company...

    I'd suggest somehow cleaning up your ebay listing. When I go to see what you make, the first twenty items are identical 1"x1" tiles. Then there are three items without photos. There are 19 pages to look through, and I don't know if I want to go click through all of them so I just click...

    Gaming Group Troubles

    Kobold Boots, I'm not sure I understand, because I think you described most of my gaming group, but implied it was a bad thing. My gaming group is a loose conglomeration of folks who game together and who all met through gaming one way or another. Over half of the folks in the group want to GM...

    Has anyone used Herolabs

    One of the guys in our group has it and likes it well enough. But none of us like the pricing structure enough to buy into it. We like the idea of a builder that works with multiple game systems, but needing to buy game systems separately makes it less appealing. And then, just with...

    D&D 3.x A Turning Point: I Sold My 3e Books

    I got a decent chunk of cash for selling my 3e books, as well as a lot of shelf space. I'm never, ever going to run a 3e game, and if I play in one in the future, we'll probably have enough people with various books to make it work. I've kept the barebones books for several old editions, but...

    the tablet war is heating up

    Just for nitpickiness, the 3G can run iOS4, but cannot run iOS 4.3 or higher, and cannot use some features in 4.0-2.

    White Wolf licensed d20 stuff gone on rpgnow?

    Odds are, they had their d20 license terminated for some reason, which gives them 30 days to pull all products from distribution. That's the problem with the D20 license, and the reason that a lot of d20 products disappear. (I sort of thought the d20 license was terminated for everyone a while...

    Compendium doesn't load on mobile devices anymore? Why?

    IPad and iPhone report the browser version slightly differently, so that servers can redirect the iPhone browser to a mobile site but not the iPad version.

    In A World Where Magic Exists...

    Superstition is founded in ignorance, of which there will never be a shortage. Even today, when electricity and TV are as everyday as they are, people believe strange things without foundation. Health effects of high-voltage lines or cell phones. Magnetic cures to arthritis. You name it...
