Well, I've got my data backed up on a secondary drive, so that's not a problem. I just didn't know if formatting first would mess up the restore process. Since it seems like it'll format itself, I won't worry doing it beforehand. I Googled around for some diagnostics last night and played...

I've been using Driver Cleaner between each switch, it clears out pretty much everything. It even scours the CAB files.

I gotcha, thanks. That would be what I have then. It's funny, I'd always assumed the company drivers would be better than microsoft's. I didn't even know they put out their own 3D drivers.

I've tried drivers alternately from the Nvidia site and the manufacturer (EVGA) site. I hadn't thought to try MS's drivers, I'll do that tonight, thanks. What do you mean by "detonator drivers"? I've never heard the term before.

You said you wanted to avoid shooters, but mention that Half-Life might be good. Is it that you're looking for more of a plot game to solve instead of a deathmatch game? If you want something similar to Half-Life with co-op possibilities, you might want to look at System Shock 2, which was an...

Pity it'll only be the nouns... Mystara is still my #1 world. I'll just have to scrounge the cash for that new DCC box set instead. :D At any rate: More usable content + more variety of adventures - the typical mindless dungeon crawls has made me a brand new subscriber, so I like what you...

Thanks for the tips so far! My main concern with the restore disc was that older stuff might clutter it up. If it seems like it will delete older files itself if it needs to, then I'm probably better off leaving things as they are. A few other notes: When I first started getting problems I...

Ok- I got a new computer a few months back, but it's been having a lot of trouble running games, and it's gotten pretty much unplayable recently (though other programs still work fine). I'm thinking about trying a clean Windows install before I start buying new hardware in the hope that it will...

Try to find a copy of Atlas' "Splintered Peace", that's a city campaign with nary a dungeon in site. If it's diplomacy you want, this module will make you take care in what you wish for. :p

Gah! Yeah, it started with D&D characters. I don't know why I typed "Modern", the addition of which made the post pretty much pointless to this thread. :mad: Now that I think about it, someone really should have pimped the Second World Sourcebook by now. It's basis is that of modern...

Dragon #100 had an adventure called "City Behind the Gate" in which modern characters go after the Staff of St. Cuthbert- housed, naturally, in the London Museum. It's for higher level characters, IIRC, and fairly tongue in cheek.

There's always Ebay, but the prices look pretty steep. Then again, I have no idea what it went for at the convention.

To put my own slant on things- it's alright for clues to be discovered by dice rolls, since this is the only way that the investigative characters are going to use their abilities. What you don't want to do is have the entire progress of the adventure be reliant on a single die roll. If the...

I know someone who entered the contest, and got their rejection letter around the start of the year. At the time, there was also some talk about how it had been a while since the contest was started, and that not much information was coming forth. IIRC, the person behind the contest had left...

How about pirate enemies- hunters, privateers, naval personnel, etc. If the PCs are pirates, they're going to have the authorities coming after them. Pirate hunting enemies would make a good change of pace from the typical undead and sea monsters that a campaign would see, and might also provide...

What sort of character are you playing? Modern horror roleplaying often seems to assume that the PCs have to be deranged madmen or evil sorcerers or something. In Gothic settings, this would only be true of the villains. The protagonists would be more or less good people, who are confronted by...

That, and I was surprised that my local store had anything that I wanted. I mean, they've stopped carrying Call of Cthulhu books completely, and Eden products are just a footnote at the bottom of the White Wolf "Shelf O' Pretension". I'd actually gone in the store to try to get the first part...

I got it early on thanks to all the fantastic reviews it was getting. I haven't had a chance to run the setting as a campaign, but I'm still constantly borrowing ideas from the book. It's one of those works that inspires on a game level as much as it does on the setting level.

I was surprised to find this in my local store yesterday and picked it up on the spot. It looks pretty good, I must say. I like the cover texture, and there's full color insides. I never had the first book, so I can't comment on how much of the art or text is reprinted. For someone like me who...

I just saw this book was released the other day and thought, "Finally! Gothos is back!" byrons.ghost@gmail.com Thanks!
