    Not sure if you meant for the entire hotel or for the rooms, so here's a variety I found: http://www.fantasylandhotel.com/banquets_conf/floor_plans.asp http://www.sheraton-waikiki.com/ac_hotelfl.htm http://www.doubletree.com/en/dt/hotels/floorplans.jhtml?ctyhocn=SFOAODT...

    Why is he being hunted?

    So, Outcast, what have you decided to use? I'm curious to see what you've come up with. :)

    When your game starts turning into Velveeta

    I love this advice and I think you are right. I can definitely see both sides of this, that what the player(s) came up with can seem abusive and powergamerish, but on the other hand, the players were being creative and ingenious, something you don't want to punish them for. I remember an article...

    Why is he being hunted?

    He is being stalked in the modern sense of the word - that is, by a person who is obsessed with the PC and in his (her?) delusional mind believes the PC loves him or otherwise belongs to him. Alternately, the stalker could be a serial killer. :] The PC is a runaway slave being pursued by his...

    Why does magic work the way it works?

    I like this idea, actually. One could think of magic missile as a "baby step" towards more powerful spells that can kill someone with a mere gesture or word. I think that learning to cast spells is like learning to do anything else: you have to start with what is easy and work towards the more...

    Used Book Debate

    Just to play devil's advocate here (not that I don't agree with you), many authors don't make a whole lot of money from their writing. I'm guessing it's not the Stephen Kings of the world who want to get money from used book sales, but the midlevel author whose books are in danger of going out...

    Used Book Debate

    Wasn't sure where to put this, since it is slightly off-topic for the general forum, but I think also relevant to some discussions that occurred here in the past. I remember asking some time why reselling books isn't illegal and got some excellent responses. Well, it turns out that not everyone...

    What would you like to see in Dungeon?

    I should have posted "other" along with the other options I chose, because I thought of one other thing - they used to do short encounters that could be used as a side trek or whatever. I really liked those.

    DMG II, it isn't all new stuff, and that's just fine!

    Not to be a complete fangirl, but I giggled maniacally when I read that preview. Part of me hates the idea of "rebuying" previously published material, but since there are some books (like Underdark) that I would probably never buy, it's great to be able to get the good stuff I'd otherwise be...

    Hardcore gamers

    Not my story, but one from close friend - he found out an old friend and member of their gaming group was dying so his group came to the hospital to play one last game with him. This thread has suddenly turned way too depressing. :( OK, a less depressing one: we used to game with someone I...

    Sci-fi likes/dislikes

    Agreed. Not to mention that humans, being human, like to see other humans doing cool, scary, and/or heroic things. Watching a robot kill the aliens, regardless of how cool the robot is, is just not the same thing and it can seem like a cop-out. True story: we were playing a scifi game and our...

    Lords of Madness feature the coolest monster ever!

    My birthday is tomorrow and I know what book has just jumped to the top of my "must buy" list. :D Thanks for that, Gez!

    How much for 1 monster (with extras)?

    I'm probably the odd one here, but I like this idea and I'd probably buy one for about $1-2, depending on the amount of detail, ideas and utility (sorry to be vague there). Granted, I'd buy it only if it featured a monster I liked or at least was intrigued by. Of course, one thing to think about...

    Amazon.com no longer giving discounts?

    It really depends on the item. I'm still getting discounts on some things, but not on others. For example, Bujold's books are full price, but the Steerswoman books are 30-32% off. I'm not sure why. I don't think there is one great place, unfortunately. If I'm buying online, Amazon usually is...

    Sci-fi likes/dislikes

    Funny, I was just talking about this with a friend today. I dislike SciFi game mechanics that are really close to being fantasy conventions in futuristic dressing. A bad example would be healing drugs/solutions, etc., that heal wound damage instantaneously (a la potion of cure light wounds)...
