Tamoachan was pretty much just a mesoamerican-flavored dungeon crawl. It was a 1st ed adventure, so I doubt it had much in the way of plot, I think the start was another "your party is lost/shipwrecked and finds these ruins" setup. I'll have to dig out the module and take a look. There's only a...

See, now you made me get my books out to check on stuff. ;) From Stormreach to Argonnesson looks around 4000 miles, which is about twice what the trip in Sea Wyvern's Wake seems to be. Still seems like it would work pretty well though. I especially like the thought of dropping Tamoachan in a...

Just a couple things off the top of my head (I've thought about this but don't really have any material down): I was also thinking of using Stormreach as the base city, possibly with the PCs starting there after somehow having gotten stuck in the last days of the War (lone unit survivors...

Or, better yet, has it applied to their pay so that they can work it off. Everyone expects wizards to be obnoxious, though. I'd have the party work for the church, and have their patron be the most goody-two-shoes, hard-nosed, sterotypical "letter of the law before the spirit" paladin that...

I've never used it, but I sympathize. I'm currently stuck in both my day job and my freelancer job using software suites that I hate. At least the freelancer gig is about up (after which time, I will never be approaching anything with ".NET" in the name again). It's unfortunate that the people...

One thing to watch with the power supplies is the amps on the 12v rail, which is where the video card gets most of its power from. Most cards have minimum 12v totals that they want- requiring 18 or more amps on the 12v isn't uncommon, and cheaper power supplies might not have that much. Any...

I've got the first few chapters, but I haven't played it yet. It's definately nautical, and assumes the PCs to be more or less mercenaries working for a noblewoman. I'd put it as "neutral" in that regard- the characters will end up saving the world and being heroic eventually, but they're not...

Sounds awesome! One question about the fantasy rules- is it just spells and races that are scheduled so far? Seems like it would be difficult to run anything without classes and core rules as well... Also, your website URL caught the closing parenthesis, making it uber-broken. :cool:

The Skull & Bones setting only has one adventure in the book, but has some web and PDF support. Essentially, it's a pirate horror setting in the historical Carribbean. It's obviously not going to map over directly to what you're doing, but it'll definately have that desperation feel that you're...

At the risk of oversimplifying: I'm a big fan of throwing moral quandries at my players- not to revoke their paladin abilities or anything like that, but simply to give them the choice as to how the mood of the campaign will proceed. It seems to me that the biggest twist in this scenario is the...

I've actually got Mediacom currently, but I've had Charter in the past. Both seem to be equally bad IME. At least Mediacom doesn't go out once a day liked Charter seemed to. The main thing with cable is, I've had to drop down to non-digital basic just to get a reasonable price level. Pretty...

What kind of start up costs did you have with Dish Network? Any service complaints?

Thanks for everyone's input! I should have mentioned, this is for TV, not internet. I have DSL through my phone company, and it's much cheaper than any cable options I've seen, and also more stable. I do live in an apartment building, I'm not sure if that will be an issue or not. I'm on the...

Between an unexpected rate hike and lousy customer service, my local cable company has really been irritating me. Thanks to the wonderful, organized monopoly that is the television industry, I don't have any other providers to choose from. So I've been looking into satellite options, such as...

Privateering would have an additional benefit. Historically, many privateer captains were not owners of their ships, but instead worked for the ship's owner, who in turn invested in expedition. Having the AP's NPC patron (I think her name is Liranda?) help the PCs outfit their privateering...

Sweet! Lost City was one of my all-time favorite modules. Looks like I subscribed just in time. :D

Sorry if this has been covered already, but I just got the book, so I might've missed any old postings. I had a question on houngan spells- the class progression goes up to 4 for the regular spells, but the spell list itself ends at level 3. Which is correct? Also, is there a list of favors, or...

Update- the new drivers, plus the tweaks (adjusting memory settings and disabling Vsync) seem to have stabilized things. For instance, I could play Pirates for more than five minutes at a time. I think I'm going to let this ride for a while and see if it works before trying any other changes...

Thought about it, but I'd have to find someone with more or less the same card. Otherwise, I'd be installing new 3D drivers to go with it, and then there'd still be no telling if it was hardware or the drivers. It would verify whether or not it's a DirectX problem, I suppose...

Update: Windows Update didn't come up with any drivers, nor did the restore disc have anything that windows would recognize. I can't seem to find any download section on the microsoft site that doesn't involve their own software. Can someone tell me where I should be looking for the MS drivers?
