    Chicago Gameday XV is Oct 21st: Planning thread

    And you admit it in public. You are a braver man than I. :p

    Chicago Gameday XV is Oct 21st: Planning thread

    I can not run God's game, for only his avatar MattyHelms has the power to do it justice. However, I could run a four-hour character creation seminar. We might even get done on time! :p

    Does the Rakshasa have a too-high CR?

    Definitely. Without minions, they're not that scary (especially in 3.5). Put the right minions in the mix, however, and they're much more deadly. We fought one once, and only a nicely placed Wall of Force made success in combat possible. Shemeska is right, too--not knowing it was a rakshasa...

    Chicago Gameday XV is Oct 21st: Planning thread

    Woo-hoo!! Barring any unscheduled last-minute family events, I shall return to Chicago Gameday in fine form. Now, to decide if will run a game or not....or just be greedy and play cool stuff all day! :)

    City Supplement - Your favorite?

    Even worse, I did a quick online search before typing to make sure I got it right! :o If you google "Hallowfaust" the suggested alternative is "Holocaust", but you get some pages calling it "Hallowfaust." You get more pages if you spell it correctly, however. :D

    Favorite Video Game Weapon!!!

    The yo-yo from Star Tropics (old NES game). Someone here has a graphic from the game in their .sig--it's got an older man talking about a banana, I think....

    Rappan Athuk Reloaded: Is it worth it?

    I was going to buy it at GenCon, but looking over the sample at the Necro booth, that was my reaction as well. My excitement evaporated rapidly when I looked at the three books. I already have the original, so I thought I would live without out RARe. (And in all fairness to RARe, I may have...

    The SRD and Monsters Not in it?

    And it's by EN World's own Mouseferatu, too. :)

    Battle Mats

    The grid on the flipmat does not go all the way to the edge. There is a one inch border, so it's easy to "eyeball" if you want to put two maps together to make one big map. And of course entreupenuerial is a word, but it's spelled entrepreneurial (I had to check at dictionary.com).

    Battle Mats

    Thanks for posting the link, The_Universe. FlipMats are great!

    Battle Mats

    Have you considered a FlipMat (by Steel Sqwire)? They've got both sides done--one in hexes, one in one-inch grid. Since it folds to regular US paper size (8.5 x 11), it should be less costly to ship. I have to run, but I can post the URL later.

    Gen Con Reports?

    You know me too well, Buzz! I think TB42 is just trying to be grandma-friendly. And I don't recall saying "Gosh," either! :lol:

    Chance of unsubscribing

    Most of my subscriptions are gone, too. Mine were specific threads I wanted to reference later, not just a general forum notification (which is, indeed, silly for a site this busy). More notice would have been nice. But I will play with the Search function so I can bookmark them for later...

    Ceramic DM

    By using the Search function, it seems the most recent Ceramic DM competition was last fall, run by mythago. Hopefully, it is time for another one. :)

    Gen Con Reports?

    Synnibarr + Kent = me (nearly 100% of the time! :o ) Don't know if I'll make it out for HPLFF, but I might be out there for the holidays. I will email you if I approach the Beaver State. Maybe you could fly into Chicago (much cheaper than Indy) and hitch a ride with some beardless dwarf from...

    Monte & Sue Cook are moving to Milwaukee

    I have to work then. Bummer. :( I'm demoing a game down in the Cultural Village area (south end of the festival grounds). Stop by if you can--it's a pretty fun game (and I didn't see it at GenCon, either).

    Monte & Sue Cook are moving to Milwaukee

    Maybe just Barendd O'Beard (he has a Hat of Disguise now, so he can fake having a beard). :p My wife's family is very involved in Irish Fest. Earlier this year, my daughter's high school (where my wife works) had a charity auction. One of the big items was "a night with Gaelic Storm"--four...

    Counter Collection Digital - Making Counters

    Just FYI, I spoke to one of the Fiery Dragon guys at GenCon last weekend and he did say that they are planning another upgrade option for CCD next year, so you can wait and get everything released in the last year added to your digitial collection.
