    [OT] e-bay Auctions

    Actually, I do have it. It just that it's in such sad shape that I'd be a bit embarrassed/reluctant to put it up for sale. I mean, it's still in one piece, but the cover looks like someome too ballpine hammer to it, denting it from cover to cover.

    [OT] e-bay Auctions

    I'm saving these for next week since keeping track of more than 5 auctions on eBay is a bit taxing. These AD&D mods will be sold in the following lots: ------------- LOT 1 Secret of the Slavers Stockade (A2) In Search of the Unknown (B1) Keep of the Borderland (B2) Palace of the Silver...

    Empires, Trade, and Gold!

    In a game I was playing in, basically you had three different measures of wealth with your economic systems based on gold, silver, or copper standards. The wealthiest nations (two in this particular world) basically controlled the lesser nations since everything (in the end) was based on gold...

    [OT] e-bay Auctions

    I credit (shameless promo) ENWorld for the success I've had so far on eBay. I'd be more than willing to Mod the "trading forum" if there was one. :) *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge*

    ot or not? Murphy's Laws of Combat.

    Since Murphy's is basically the unofficial handbook of the adventuring, I'd say this is definitely ON-topic.

    Canada VS USA

    Ugh, I think Richter was asleep for the 3rd period. Modano was getting smoked out on the ice and Brodeur was in top form. While I would have liked to have seen ole team USA win the gold, I'm glad it wasn't Russia...or (Pelor help us) Belarus! I still think Gretsky is a bit of cry-baby for his...

    Battlemat or Dwarven Forge?

    If you have a "game room" that is solely devoted to all that is rpg'ing, I think DF is a good buy. The stuff takes up alot of room and is a major pain to break out every time you have a game. And unless you have the bankroll, there is only a finite amount of things you can do with the standard...

    Why no life extending magic???

    ....as Thorntangle's DM cringes in fear of what is to come. :)

    Why no life extending magic???

    While I don't know of any arcane way of prolonging life, there is the Elixir of Youth from 2e.

    Caviat Emptor!

    Argh, what's with these buyers on eBay? I sold this guy a AD&D 1e Oriental Adventures sourcebook via eBay...and at a steal for USD20 (plus shipping)! It was in great condition (some wear on the corners) but otherwise as good as the day I bought it. I shipped it USPS Priority Mail and it...

    How to get long battles?

    Have the battle done in waves. Not everyone should attack at once. Have some of the NPC stay back and let the pions wear the players down, then send in the heavy artillery. Every good fantasy-based movie has the characters face the lesser goons before the final showdown. The fact that the...

    Decorating help for evil Necromancer

    Cool idea, but also make Martha Stewart like she's portayed on Saturday Night Live (TM) by Ana Gasteyer. Eeriely wholesome, but with dark and brooding overtones. Sure, she'll show you how to make meringue tarts....and how to properly lace them with arsenic to give that nice "death warmed over...

    Today's pvp strip

    PvP is always funny, but this is the first one I've LOL'ed in a while. "Many Bothans died to bring us this frappacino." :)

    Magic Item Names?

    Nice! The history of the items are pretty interesting. Can me greedy or unappreciative, but is there some sort of chart out there that you can randomly roll up names/abilities? Or is that too much to ask? I'm guessing one us geeks got bored one weekend and made something up during a B5...

    Magic Item Names?

    Does anyone know of a website, file, etc. containing creative ideas for naming magic items. I know, I know...as a DM I should be creative enough to come up with my own names, but I can only do so much when it comes to planning/creating games. I'm just getting sick of just saying, "It's a +2...

    Ideas for adventuring in a temple of Good?

    Dust off your copy of "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade." The temple of the Holy Grail is a prime example of what you should expect in a place of good mojo.

    Buying and Selling of Gems & Jewelry

    Gems & Jewelry are like any other commodity. The price is based on supply and demand (as mentioned earlier). As for "Book values", I consider them pretty much just general guidelines. Generally I impose a 30% buy rate for anything that the PC's want to sell flat-out for cash value. I usually up...
