My cat is boring. She shows no interest in my dice, merely in taking as much of a king-size bed as possible. Now, my son on the other hand.... He just found my bag of dice from one of the D&D starter sets (probably 3.5) and insisted I open them for him. He immediately took the d20 (of course)...

Yep, I just started back up again with Dawnguard. I started a new character and am playing through in a completely new (I was mage guy before, now sneak assassin). And I'd missed some of the quests on the side and am filling those in.

I like my gamescience dice, but I've always wondered how truly random they could be with big chunks of sprue poking out.

If the players made a gang of rogues, they're telling you they want to play a lot of adventures that are around stealing things and sneaking around. That can cover a lot of ground: Mission Impossible: Use your sneaky powers to resolve problems without letting the populace panic Ocean's Eleven...

There is a difference between saying something is a derivative and explaining where inspiration came from. For instance I might be watching a play and decide that I want to write a book about a bunch of lovable goblins trying to stage a great musical while being beset by monsters. Why...

My campaign is like Corathon: Wizards have some sort of mentor, and learn some spells from that mentor as they advance. After some level (depending on the mentor) they can't get any more spells from that mentor, and need to go seek out a new mentor, a magic school (like the Great School of Magic...

The trick with Ikea is to pick the right construction, given the materials they work with. A long bookshelf as displayed above will bow from Ikea, but one of their Expedit ones won't, since it has vertical supports far more often.

A couple folks in my gaming group, including me, got started with the learn to paint kits. I highly recommend them! You get a great model, brushes, and some paints. For anyone who hasn't painted minis before, I was extremely surprised by how easy it is to get decent results just by learning a...

Oops, double.

Here's the source. Kickstarter Discussion Thread - Reaper Message Board - Page 167 They do not want to promote it too highly, because money added after the kickstarter ends does not unlock goals, and won't help bring in new buzz and new backers.

Broccoli base means a base built into the mini with some amount of texturing. Example: Yes, the normal figures fit in the 1x1 squares on the map. The larger ones also usually fit as well. The big difference is that instead of being a square or circle, larger creatures will be rectangular...

Long term investments really don't seem to be a good idea in the Realms. I can't imagine what it would be like to be an insurance carrier.

You make a good point. iPad versions of various magazines shipped iPad-sized JPEGs to the app, and those looked terrible. If you had a PDF that intended to be printed, it would have been ok. Incidentally, Adobe is changing their digital editions product to use pdf behind the scenes for exactly...

PDFs come in two varieties: the ones which are simply scanned pages, usually somewhere around 100-200 DPI, and the ones with normal fonts for the text. Neither one cares about the resolution of the screen, and both of them are higher resolution than the iPad 1/2 screen. Both of them will look...

Before starting all of our games, one of the things we talk about is "How many people do we need to have show up in order to play?" For my games, we'll play on with one person down, and we won't play if we have two people out. This has not been a problem. If we're two people out, we usually...

That's exactly what I want. And that edition should be the RCD&D. And YES, races are classes!

I've seen some touch-screen laptops (also known as tablet PCs) but the biggest I can find is 13".

Yep, that's the main thing to think about. I mostly use the videos on the device when flying. Streaming is perfectly fine otherwise, especially if you're doing it at home. (Out and about, you're at the mercy of the wifi you're using, of course. Which reminds me, I also put videos on the iPad...

Depends on what you're going to put on there. The big games are about a GB each. Audio is small, but can add up. Video takes tons of space, but you may not need to keep much on the iPad if you sync different movies/episodes on as you watch others. I've got a 64GB iPad with about 18GB free. I...

They exist, and can work well... But they are expensive. IR Touch Bezel, Interactive Overlay, Interactive Frame | Pro Display
