    Unexpected Return

    This week, I finally managed to pummel our fighter, the damage sponge, into unconsciousness(for about .8 seconds). Our cleric immediately reacts, using Unexpected Return. Unexpected Return is an immediate reaction that says when an ally drops below zero hit points, they can spend a healing...

    ? for all those that use a VTT program currently

    We've been moving up the technology scale for the past year or 2. Initially, we started with a whiteboard. Then I moved onto dundjinni, but printing it out and taping it together was too much work. About 2 months ago, we moved to a projector and maptools. So far no one has played remote, but...

    P90x

    Nicely done Chairman. Bullgrit, consider taking a look at some of the Tony Horton one on one videos. More of the same, but at least there is some variety. I'm looking forward to starting up my 4th round of P90x. This time, I need to focus more on my diet. In the past, I've shown great...

    What is the best computer game you have ever played?

    Going old school. Civilization. The hours lost on that are incalculable.

    Random Gaming Quotes

    Several come to mind. This one was good, it was when we first started 4e, probably 6 or 8 sessions in. I'm the DM. Me: "How many hit points do you have left, Ekerrath?" Player: "Three." Me: "The first hobgoblin hits you for... 1." Player: "Phew! Two left!" Me: And the second hobgoblin...

    Tell me what you see

    Last session, I put a pair of magical gloves out as treasure. I did not allow the wizard to detect what they were, outside of the fact that they were magical. Being one to never let a "mystery" go unsolved, the halfing/rogue bravely(foolishly?) donned the gloves. They immediately bonded to...

    P90x

    Well done and looking good. Congrats on finishing Insanity. It's much harder mentally than P90x, at least for me. I found the workouts a little too repetitive. I did warn you how hard it was months ago in this very thread. So what's next? I'm killing some time do some of the one on one...

    D&D 4E Uninteresting 4E Magic Items (help!)

    I'll make an actual item suggestion for the soon to be daggermaster. I have one in my party and I settled on a custom item set that I dreamed up. First item was a custom item, a White Light dagger. It can shed light up to 5 or 10 squares. I hinted there was more to come. The second was...

    The Walking Dead

    I'm not normally a zombie guy, but I tuned into this and have to say it was amazing. It was the most intense show I have ever seen on TV. My wife, who I didn't think would show any interest, kept putting her laptop down and watching it. I was informed afterward that I have to watch it when...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #5:Cloverdale/Season 2/2010

    Somebody else said, but I'll second it. I WANT to like this show. I've been watching SG something for a long time. But they aren't giving me anything to like.

    Going digital with Maptools and 4e

    3 weeks later, and we've added the IRpen and Wiimote hack. Giving the players the ability to move their tokens really allowed them to feel more involved. Works great, except for the guys with short arms. I'm going to have to buckle down and build the table soon so I can get really crazy and...

    Playable with just myself and my daughter?

    I've introduced my 7 year old daughter and all I can say is enjoy watching them do things an adult group would never think to do. I put her character on the outdoors map from the red box and threw an encounter at her. She saw a pile of rocks, and asked if she could climb it and push some rocks...

    Trivia: When did you first play D&D?

    God I'm feeling old. Probably 1979 in my neighbor's basement. I still remember chugging a potion of invisibility, whacking a hydra with my battle axe, the potion running out, and the end of me. What a great day. Got the AD&D books shortly after that and played for a long time before taking a...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #5:Cloverdale/Season 2/2010

    I agree all the way around. Waste of my time and not the time to be showing an episode this crappy. Who signs off on scripts like this? They should get fired. At least the preview for next week looks like it should be better.

    Ultimate Digital Gaming Table

    I'm beginning to head down this road now. I'm using a ceiling mount projector with a game table on the way. Has there been any progress on this? I'd love to see how it came out, and if you have any tips.

    Gamma World...

    A bit off topic here, but why are there still 2 magazines? With DDI, you get a subscription to both, so why keep them apart?

    Experiences with Dundjinni?

    I used Dundjinni for several months before cutting out the maps and taping them together took too long. I recently started using maptools. Having the projector makes this reasonable. It really is slick as I can build just a room or an entire dungeon in it. There are also some great video...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #3:Awakenings /Season 2/2010

    I'm trying to remember the exact sequence of events, but could Rush have reversed the power flow(blaming the aliens)? From the main bridge, he most certainly could have halted the power transfer. We all know he doesn't want to go home.

    Going digital with Maptools and 4e

    I remember following your progress and that was part of what inspired me to finally take the next step. I'm looking to build something a little more permanent, but still something I can break down and store. My initial plan it to build 2 folding tables, that latch together and have a large...
