    Is My CD-ROM Drive Dying?

    Appreciate all the help (except perhaps for the Lich and the template "suggestion" :] ). I think I'll go ahead and buy a new one. Thanks.

    Is My CD-ROM Drive Dying?

    I am not even sure how to go about doing that nor what site to look for. KenM, is this a long time to have a CD-ROM drive as Psionicist indicates? By the way, thanks for the suggestion.

    Is My CD-ROM Drive Dying?

    I have had my 48x CD-ROM for about 5+ years. Lately it just doesn't seem to want to read CDs, especially when I want to install and play games. Often it takes me a long time for me to even play a game as I have constantly load it in the tray and then eject and reload until the game "catches." I...

    City State of the Invincible Overlord - Old School Revisited

    My brother ran his campaign in the Wilderlands and the feel I and others always got was pockets of civilization, particularly the City-States and to a lesser degree the towns and vllages, surrounded by great expanses of wilderness -- a wilderness fraught with the unknown, darkness, intrigue. I...

    Proud of myself - letting a big bad go down.

    Very good DMing. Sounds like a cool campaign as well. It will be interesting to see the modifications that you will now come up with.

    City State of the Invincible Overlord. Anyone running it? What do you think?

    Years ago when Judges Guild was the only alternative to TSR my brother picked up the original CSotIO. He lost it and about 7 years ago I went online and purchased another copy for him. Some of the best games I have ever played in were/are ones run by my brother in this city. Now JG, partnered...

    Rest in Peace, Scotty

    I'll never forget the first time Star Trek ever aired. I was hooked from then on. And Scotty became one my personal favorites. The news of James Doohan passing bummed me out all day. First DeForest Kelly and now James Doohan. :(

    How Good Is This Combination (For Games)?

    Go with a better video card. The information given on the SE version of said card is right on. You can do much better and still not break the bank.

    From good to bad in less than 6 hours

    I agree with the advice here to chill (which is most difficult to do especially when it deals with one's own heart/emotions) and let her explain herself. However, I do think it is important to let her know your confusion and misgivings about the whole matter. But above all else stick to the...

    PCI Express: What do you think?

    I am researching for a new computer because the wife and kids are demanding more and more time on our one and only PC. We really do need two. At this point most video cards are still dominated by the AGP architecture but it doesn't look like cards will go beyond the 8x. Eventually the 64 bit...

    WotC comes to you and asks you to pick a setting...

    Man, this is tough! I picked Greyhawk, but I could have picked Scarred Lands and City State of the Invincible Overlord as well.

    Tips on running 1st solo adventure

    Crothian beat me to most of what I was going to say! Anyway, yes, gear the adventure to the PC's class, abilities, etc. My brother would make a number of these one-on-one adventures for my old 1e multi-classed fighter/thief gnome who would steal from the temples in the City State of the...
