    Argh, my campaign wiki got hacked

    Uh-oh. What wiki software do you use? I keep a wiki page using Mediawiki on my website, wouldn't want it to get hacked.

    CSI: Sharn (Help create 100 corpses)

    133. A body lies broken, having fallen from a good height. It could be ruled a suicide, but a closer investigation reveals that the victim had recently had his ankles hobbled.

    Ptolus - Six Days Early!

    Bah. I wasn't interested in the huge campaign setting book with the huge price tag. Monte's done great work over time, of course, but I really don't need a setting. Right? I even looked at one of the PDFs for the cost of living, and I wasn't impressed with the layout I saw. But no, I had to...

    The importance of the seasons in your adventures/campaigns?

    I try to use seasons to good effect. In the current campaign I started off on a holiday for the final day of spring. Then as the game got into heavy summer, it helped set the scene as the big artifact for the game drastically changed the weather, cooling everything down and causing snows to...

    Whispering Cairn idea (MY PLAYERS STAY OUT!)

    Yeah, I'd tend to agree. Given the path of the adventure, they can't get much farther as they need to deal with Alastor Land. And it's likely that they'll check out the remaining section just to be thorough. Overall, I see no harm in letting their creativity win the day in this case.

    Evolution (Project Cancelled)

    My solid guess would be that you will see Evolution down the road just as planned. You just may not see much about it here. Today's a bad day, as you can imagine. If you periodically check in at rpgattitude.com and I'm sure you'll see news about it. I'm eagerly looking forward to its release...

    What game is Piratecat designing?

    My vote is for P.E.E.P.S. - Piratecat's Exceptionally Evil Peep Shooter. A first person shooter where you alone have to fight off rabid Story Hour fans who have become zombies after eating P-kitty's year-old peeps.

    The secrets of winging it

    For stats, I'm also a wholehearted supporter of NPC Designer. Previous to that, I used Jamis Buck's generator, and this is tons more advanced. For the overall direction of the game, I leave it very open-ended to appease my sense of improv. I like it when the players suggest courses of action...

    [Take 2] Let's See a Pic of Your Gaming Group!

    I'll see if I can trick my group into a pic tonight.

    [ENGS Give-away] free Unorthodox Sorcerers!

    Very cool, thanks TheLe. All that time scripting for NPC Designer has cemented certain 3.5 data in my brain. (That and I stood no chance at your first 5 questions).

    How many dice do you put out?

    While playing or DMing, I usually grab two full sets (color choice dependant upon mood and character/setting) and a handful of d6s. My oddity is never using the numbered d6 from the sets, but instead using my Lidless Eye d6s with pips. And yes, I have the traditional Crown Royal bag of Doom.

    Advancing Monsters, changes to damage

    I'm working on advancing monsters, and I was noting the changes to damage based on size. Say I have a pit fiend that's advancing high enough to get Huge size instead of Large. So, every physical attack goes up a dice increment based on the chart? So it's not only claw, but also wing buffets...

    The ripping of character sheets

    I showed this thread to a player/coworker of mine and we had a good chuckle over it. We can't comprehend someone ripping our character sheets up at a game session. It boggles the mind. That said, we're considering a switcheroo at an upcoming game where I fake ripping up a player's sheet. We're...

    How strict is your DM with mundane equipment?

    Well just to chime in from the opposite crowd, my groups tend to handwave a lot of the mundane equipment. We don't do as much dungeon-crawling as the typical campaigns I've seen, and we really don't load down unless we know we're going in for heavy forays underground. Even then, we just spend X...

    [Game a Day 19] ShadowRun

    We had a lot of fun with Shadowrun back in the day. Our GM ran us through most of the modules, but not much in the way of custom adventures. I always ended up playing the Decker, since I'm the resident computer geek. I remember when Virtual Realities came out, I knew more about the mechanics...

    Girlfriend in Gamer's Clothing

    We know some guys whose SO's vehemently oppose gaming, so maybe it's not as rare as some would think. Myself, I'm very fortunate. My wife is as much into the hobby as I am, and she's always advocating the game. She doesn't try to grab the spotlight - in fact she avoids it, knowing that too much...

    The Iconics are out in force

    Definitely good stuff. I have some of those books, but didn't piece together that it was the same great artist.

    [June] What are you playing?

    I've stepped away from WoW for a while, and in it's looming shadow I've been playing a few PC games. I got a copy of Tron 2.0 and really enjoy it (i was a huge fan of the original movie). And I've tried out Dungeon Siege II. I sort've like it, but it's not captivating me like other games have...
