    EN World Jerseys!?!

    Hmm.... cool idea.... maybe the number can be presented within a large d20 image (naturally, the number can be any number, but still, this adds to the gamerishness a bit...). A nice (preferably embroidered so it'll sustain numerous washings) 'badge' on the front with the EN World logo (or a...

    Battlemat stains :(

    What helps on whiteboards is the counterintuitive method of writing over it thickly with a real whiteboard marker (i.e. pen with removable ink) and then wipe it away. The solution in the ink of the whiteboard marker dissolves the ink of the non-washable. Needs to be repeated a bit sometimes...

    Anyone have their recent Rappan Athuk: Reloaded shipped from Amazon.com?

    Well.. a friend of mine is manager/owner of a large electronicssuperstore (MediaMarkt). They sell certain items which they advertise heavily at a real loss (i.e. lower then purchase cost, not even counting shipping, handling, advertising etc. costs), so that ppl come into the store. He insures...

    What's your screen name from?

    Certainly get the DMG 1e reference for PapersAndPaychecks.... My name has various backgrounds. Whisper is the first new Taken in the Black Company books and it sorta became my nickname since my voice is not very strong and ppl sometimes complain that I am mumbling or whispering rather then...

    Anyone have their recent Rappan Athuk: Reloaded shipped from Amazon.com?

    It is a special clause in the business plan. It is called the Santa Clause... They may sell certain items at a loss in the hopes of getting ppl in the shop and buying more/other items with which the profits are made. Many RL stores do this. Dunno to which extend this tactic works for on-line...

    DM's forfeit power

    Hmm.... I wonder to which extend the planning of characters coincides with the planning of campaigns by DMs? In most campaigns I run as a DM, sure there is some overarching plot, sure there are plenty subplots. However, even I myself do not know what is going to happen and how things are going...

    DM's forfeit power

    Although this may seem to be so at first glance, I get the feeling that in reality, it is quite the opposite. The more the players are 'in conrol', the more important it is for the DM to be completely up to speed with rules, effects, feats and spells etc. If there are less codified rules, there...

    A Good Source for Info on "Medieval" Ports & Sea Trade?

    Try to google up stuff on the VOC, the dutch east india corporation. Many lists of trade goods, deals with merchants etc. survived, I am sure there is plenty stuff to find on-line about it...

    Battlefield Events

    Hmmm... If you mean stuff in smaller scale combat of PC's versus 'monsters', here are some ideas: The 'orc' (or whatever) you killed has a brother in the same band of enemies, who suddenly switches targets and attacks you in rage (barbarian rage?) There was a charm (put on by the creature's...

    Lantan, anyone know anything about it?

    Naw... not completely..... ;)

    Lantan, anyone know anything about it?

    Yes, now that you mention it. There was an article on 'Portals in Lantan' within the Perilous Gateways series. It's in the Forgotten Realms archives on the WotC site.

    Lantan, anyone know anything about it?

    As far as I know (and I have most FR 2nd Ed stuff), there is no resource that elaborates on Lantan further. AFAIK the various 3.X edition FR supplements also do not touch upon Lantan any more than what the FRCS states.

    Help Me Be a Consistent DM

    Well... not to be harping on you, but the moment you allow all manner of non-core stuff (i.e. from the spell compendium and the complete series), the issue of holding on tightly to the 'domains' of the various classes (such as silence belongs to bards) is kinda silly and has become a moot point...

    new recruits

    You're welcome. Shadowslayer's points are also very important. DnD is a social game. The new player needs to feel welcome on a social level as well. All ppl in the 'old group', from DM to the other players need to understand that there is a mutual effort required to make this work. I assume...
