    Anyone seen Dragon 352 yet?

    I'm really looking forward to 352. I'm a big fan of China's work and think it would be cool to run a campaign in his world. Here's a good article about China and some of the influences [including D&D] on his works: <China Mieville Interview>

    Night at the Mueseum

    We went and saw it on xmas day (kinda traditional for us to see a movie on that day). I liked it. And it was good to see Dick Van Dyke again. I really liked him in the credits at the end :)

    Does your gaming take a hit because of the holidays?

    Yes, I live in a college town. Many of the players are on winter break for a couple of weeks. The group probably won't get together sometime in January! Oh well, as DM, it gives me a chance to catch up :)

    Gaming across the US

    I haved lived in the Pacific NW most of my life and have also been gaming for a long time. Currently, I live in a small college town (20,000) and I have managed to put together a good gaming group. Previously, I lived in Portland and I loved it there. I think it's very gaming friendly. I...

    "It's a joke name, sir."

    I tend to be the King of Bad Names in our gaming group. I run a FR game and I introduced a hadozee jester NPC by the name of Sal Ami. Needless to say, he annoyed the group. Eventually, he was roasted by a fireball. I run a mojh runethane in a friend's Arcana Evolved game. Seeing the mojh's...

    Portland, Oregon

    Heya -- you are welcome Justin! I'm glad you enjoyed Forest Park. What did you think of the rest of the city? I really miss Portland and hope to move back there some day. As far cities go, it's my favorite.

    ECL & XP

    Perfect. That's exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks :D

    ECL & XP

    Thanks everybody, thats what I thought. However... ... page 172-173 only references Table 3-2: Experience and Level-Dependent Benefits in the PHB. Another player is making the argument that it's not referencing the DMG's Table 2-6: Experience Point Awards. On top of that he pointed out...

    ECL & XP

    Okay, this has probably been asked before, but I need a quick answer and I don't have the ability to search these forums. On page 37 of the DMG it states "Determine each character's level. Don't forget to account for ECL if any of the characters are of a powerful race." I just had a player...

    I really liked Ender's Game, but... Oh, wait - this was from 4 years ago? Any updates on a movie?

    Good inexpensive microphone for recording your group?

    I record the sessions so that I can summarize and post each adventure on our group's website. My memory isn't always that great and the recordings help me when I write out these summaries.

    Good inexpensive microphone for recording your group?

    I use a Sony Omni-Directional Conference Microphone like this: Works like a charm. When I listen to the recordings through a good pair of headphones, I can hear everybody (6 people) at our games - no muffled voices. I paid $15.00 for mine. Here's one you buy through the internet...

    Character voices

    Our group doesn't really do any character voices. However, when I DM, I will occasionally use a voice - particularly if the situation calls for it [usually a humorous one]. One of my players sometimes GMs an Arcana Evolved game. As a player in that game, I have a mojh character that I have...

    The Prestige - great movie (spoilers probably)

    My son and I saw it this last weekend and we liked it - although, like others, I was able to figure it out half way through. I thought it was interesting how Cutter referred to Telsa's machine as "real magic." Tesla always seemed like a really interesting person to me. I don't know much about...

    Portland, Oregon

    I just noticed this book and, without launching too much into forbidden territory, I will say that Portland is a pretty liberal city. So if you like Richard Dawkins and are okay with this ideology, you will probably really like Portland [this is one of the many reasons I lived there]. I used...

    Portland, Oregon

    I lived in Portland for 5 years and I still go back there frequently. Now, I just live a few hundred miles northeast [in Washington] - but I still miss that city. I grew up in the Northwest – having lived in Washington, Oregon, Northern Idaho, and Northern California – so I know this area very...

    Your favourite monsters in MMIV

    I recently used some Defacers in an adventure. The earthglide and spring attack was a constant thorn in the party's side. And the stunning possession [where the victim takes on the the shape of one of the defacer's victims] provided some nice ambience to a semi-Halloween themed game.

    Casino

    ... ah, I found the Dungeon Magazine with the games. They are in #133. The article is titled "Cards, Dice & Skulls." It has fun gambling games such as "Skullrattle" and "Delayed Blast Fireball."

    Casino

    There's also a product called "Nightmarket - Games of Chance" that illustrates gambling halls. For $3.25, it can be downloaded <here> I also seem to recall a recent Dungeon Magazine that had some gambling games in it. I'm away from my magazines, so I can't remember which one it was in...
