I am just wondering why someone would try a new business to make this when it already exists. If people would buy it in a heartbeat... go buy it already.

I've got The World's Greatest Screen from Hammerdog. It's a vinyl 4-pocket screen. The pockets are vertical. I picked mine up at gencon last year....

Wishing for the impossible, a Dungeon Magazine CD archive. I'm a sucker for the archive collections: I love my Dragon archive, I got the Nat Geo archive so I could mine it for cool ideas, pictures and maps, and I'd put my credit card up now for one for Dungeon. For me, digital would be the way...

There are currently 50 pages of errata for DMG1, and 43 pages for PHB1. The newer books fare better: there are only 135pg of errata for everything in the 4e line total. Still, that's pretty voluminous. You're right, with character builder, you don't need the errata docs as much. But as...

PDF is still nice in that it's a single, self-contained file for a large work. There's currently no standard equivalent for HTML, so we have things like zipped directories, Safari Web Archives, MS's MHT files, etc. Treasure actually ships a Win32 binary installer to deploy a document. (And I...

I think H.R. Giger should be commissioned to depict Lolth's true form. He does the best combination of sexy and deeply monstrous I can think of.

You don't own the group. You're no longer in the group. You don't have a vote. The way I see it, you had to gracefully bow out of the group, and to be considerate to the others, you found a way to let it continue so that your absence didn't ruin the game. That's a classy thing to do. But...

The US Small Business Administration generally considers any business with fewer than 500 employees a small business. Why does it matter? If you're targeting your product directly at gamers, it doesn't. It's great to be a small company, because the market is big enough to support your company...

Haven't seen this yet, so it must be a minority: I like BECMI, and YES, I like Race as Class. When the rules enforce that some races are just different and culturally don't have the same options as humans, I smile. Yes, halflings don't have clerics: they just don't work that way. They're...

When I was running a campaign, I would periodically scan all character sheets at the end of the night so folks had backup and so that I'd have something to reference in planning between sessions. Most players would take their sheets home, some left them with me. When folks lost their sheets...

I'm always happy to see more Mac RPG software out there. I downloaded it, and I'm not exactly sure where to start playing with it. Something that would help me out a lot as a new user would be a couple examples. A sample map and a couple sample minis would go a long way, since I could play...

I'm already doing that for my Dungeon and Dragon collection. I bought the Dragon Magazine archive when it was out, and I'd buy a sequel, but the odds of Wizards ever trying that again after last time are nil. My scans are also a lot better than the old ones... technology has improved...

You need good internet for this, so try it out before doing it in a session. I tried it and it worked fine at home, but failed in Canada where I had pretty poor internet service. (Audio, though, worked ok.)

I just had a session with digital mapping with Illustrator and showing it on the iPad. It was GREAT. So, here's the setup. MacBook running Illustrator and ScreenRecycler. Mocha VNC Lite running on the iPad, which connects into ScreenRecycler, adding the equivalent of a second monitor to the...

I use a laptop at the table in one game, and I used it to the side when I GMed. In the game, I use Illustrator to map our trip through ToEE. My character sheet and notes are all on paper, I just use the laptop to map. I also purchased copies of the 1e books on PDF back when they were...

I got the same Darksun stuff, many of my D&D Gazetteers, the 2e Mystara stuff (including Red Steel which I actually like) from Kaybee. For a while, they were the best place for me to find gaming stuff. I also got a lot of marked-down Weapons & Warriors games. It was sad when they stopped...

We play in a regular schedule. Depending on the game, it's weekly, biweekly, or twice monthly. Sometimes, I know I'll be absent way in advance, and I'll cancel with no qualms. I'm going to be missing a few sessions this year because I'm leaving town for vacation. We're also missing a game...

It should be fun. I'm going to keep track, on the map, of where all the deaths are. I am looking forward to seeing how it develops as we keep playing. Once we're done, I'm going to get the real map and see just how far off we are! In the first session, I've found a few things. With a few...

Yesterday, a group of us started playing Temple of Elemental Evil. We're doing it in 1e with a definate old school bent so it's natural that we face one of the big expectations of the old dungeon crawls: MAPPING. We got the obligatory pad of graph paper, but I had a different idea... so I...

Good question. I didn't think the GM was necessarily taking overly long: he was dealing with six monsters. Should that be faster? In any case, we feel a 20-minute round is too long for us. When I am actively doing something for a minute out of twenty, I get bored. Our group is looking for...
