    Just because you've outed my plans does not mean I'll change them! :p

    Chicago Gameday XV is Oct 21st: Planning thread

    OK, TB42, what's a "pinapple" anyway? Is that what creepy psychos give out for Halloween in your neighborhood--apples with pins in them? That would be a rather special item to have on the menu! :p

    How do you slay a red dragon?

    Place the dragon's lair underneath The Tomb of Horrors. Any PCs that survive the tomb and get to the lair will be softened up a bit for the dragon.

    Merging two images

    Thanks for the suggestions. I will look into GIMP. And no, Mycanid, nothing that drastic! If I can't get GIMP to work, I'll just do it manually and scan it in. But it's more fun to try new software than to hook up an old scanner. :p

    Merging two images

    OK, I've got an image, and I want to put the "red circle with a slash" image over it (you know , that universal "no!" sign thingy). I've got both images electronically (just from Google images, nothing I made myself). How do I superimpose the red circle over the first image? I'm trying to...

    Gaming with the kids ...

    The games sounds like it will be great. Enjoy it! But, I have two small concerns: Swarms are deadly in third edition. A swarm nearly TPK'd a group of first level PCs I was playing with once (all very experienced players). A couple of PCs brandishing torches finally (and only with much...

    Against the Giants 3.5?

    The Against the Giant maps are part of the Map-A-Week. The monthly headings are not labelled accurately. The third one (G3) is labelled "Against the Giants, Part 1" while the first one (G1) is labelled "Against the Giants, Part 2" and G2 is part of the "Fiendish Codex I and Against the Giants"...

    Victory *and* death: Would you enjoy this?

    If I knew in advance that the DM was going have such a pre-written ending, sure. Or that the DM expected such character sacrifices (not just at the end), sure. Or if that was our regular playing style, sure. If it's just a "regular" game and the DM throws a pre-scripted ending at me. No. Or...

    Deck of Many Things Art contest -Poll closed

    That's a great idea. I would even change each deck a bit--possibly remove two different cards (one good, one bad) from each deck. Each culture might have similar, but slightly different, artifacts. Now, to print them all out and make the five decks as props! :)

    Ptolus Bonus Map Pack — Free Download!

    Anyone else having problems with the site? I can't get the free download because you have to be logged in. Which I am. I have tried on two different browsers, and no matter what I do, the stupid site tells me I'm not logged in--even though I am: I have even pulled up past orders, so I know...

    Sedalia gameday needs name

    I think there's already a Rock Con in Rockford, IL, but I'm not 100% sure on that. Personally, I like names with a little flair + some connection to the location, but also a little cryptic. How about: Dead Senator Con (in 2000, Missouri elected the deceased Mel Carnahan to the U.S. Senate)...

    So, I am going to become a RPGA DM

    Don't sweat the meta-gaming, power-gaming, cheese-weaseling, and/or munchkin tactics. You will see a lot of it in LG. That doesn't mean you can't have fun. The most important thing, I think, is to be mindful of the pace of the adventure. Don't let the party waste time if there's not "free"...

    [September] What are you reading?

    "Wolves of the Calla" (The Dark Tower: Book 5) by Stephen King. It's been on my shelf for over two years, along with book 6 ("Song of Susannah"). Just gotta buy book 7 and I'll finally know how it all turns out. :)

    Call of Cthulhu pdf?

    Chaosium used to have "quick start" rules on their website. A free, stripped-down version of the BRP rules. Hey, they still do! :) At the bottom of the page, there's a spot to download the quickstart rules. Hope this helps.

    The current "Real Deal" on Castle Zagyg by G. Gygax

    I just envisioned a tear of joy trickling down Diago's cheek. :) But then I noticed the 'A' in that acronym. I guess it was a tear of sadness. Thanks for the updates, Col.!
