    Gnomes

    In recent threads regarding race preferences, Gnomes have faired poorly, probably no noone's surprise. I am starting a new campaign soon and I do not want to remove Gnomes, but I agree with many that Gnomes just don't cut it. What are your ideas for changing or customising Gnomes to make them...

    poll: What has most influenced your conception of fantasy?

    For me it all started with the animated version of The Hobbit. I watched it when I was 5-6yo (roughtly 1985-86) many times, my grandmother somehow aquired a laserdisc of it so I got to watch it all the time! This was the seed that started all of my love for fantasy. I later read The Hobbit but...

    Alternatives to Acrobat Reader for PDFs on Windows?

    Hey, come on! Google is still your friend and still a very valid resource. But I don't need google to answer your question... OpenOffice is an excellent word processor, it can both read and save to PDF format. It is rather large if you are ONLY looking for a reader, but it is handy. I would...

    [Dec] What are you reading?

    currently nothing :( But I am getting the currently released 5 books of Stephen King's The Dark Tower series. I can't wait to dive into those. I haven't read any of that series yet.

    GBA RPG: Which one for my daughter?!?!

    I think Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga would be a good choice :) It has elements from both Paper Mario and the original Mario RPG from the Super Nintendo days. It's really fun AND funny! Like most GBA games you can probably get it for about $30, or even less online. Here is a short review with...

    Rate Return of the King

    Mmmkay. I Got back from seeing it about 30 mins ago. Sadly I missed Tuesday's midnight showing as well as the whole trilogy tuesday thing (damn it...) But I managed an 8pm showing tonight. :) I thought the opening scene was a great way to open the movie but I felt it was poorly executed. Sorry...

    iTunes for Windows...NOW AVAILABLE!!

    It's really cool but doesn't run very fast on my 800mhz AMD Athlon based system. It's not as responsive as something like eMule or Winamp, or even Windows Media Player. Guess I shouldn't expect tip-top performance from a program designed for a Mac (same goes for Quicktime, I like using it will...

    Web Page Building

    Hmmm was just trying a google search to see what other good WYSIWYG editors are out there these days and I found this: WebDwarf! It's also an SVG editor (huh... wow, surprised I never heard about this... maybe cause it isn't any good? I'm about to download it) You might want to try it...

    Web Page Building

    If you want to code by hand but find notepad a bit limiting (no highlighting, etc) UltraEdit is nice, and it doubles as a hex-editor (comes in handy!!) www.ultraedit.com I have Dreamweaver MX 2004. It's great but, bloated!! For some good free WYSIWYG editors, you might want to try...

    Hexmap making resources?

    GIMP 1.3 (actually, the link I gave above, once all is installed, is identical in almost every way to what GIMP 2.0 will be like, once it's released -- minus some bug fixes and tweaks) is free It's excellent if you're on a budget or have some moral obligation NOT to pirate software :) It's...

    Hexmap making resources?

    shadowlight's idea is good. I paint my maps in Photoshop, works very nice. If you can't afford Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro 8 is pretty cheap and can do most of what Photoshop can. Even cheaper, try The Gimp (instructions for installing the latest bleading-edge version for windows is here...

    Thoughts on Cartoon Network?

    I love Dexter and Samurai Jack. Most of their other shows are really good too though. Cartoon Network is a godsend, I love it!!! I wish we had an all-anime network though. CN has it's fair share though

    Will Eberron be a fully supported setting?

    It looks really good to me so far. I'll at least be picking up the Campaign Setting.

    Anyone seen Kill Bill yet? [merged]

    Durring the opening credits it clearly says "Kill Bill" and then under it, "Vol 1", unless you're blind, stupid, or can't read you should know there will at least be a Vol 2. Personally I would have prefered a 4 hour movie, but even after the Lord of the Rings films I don't see a 4 hour movie...

    Anyone seen Kill Bill yet? [merged]

    Excellent summation, barsoomcore!! I'm not well versed in some of the history behind this film. Lots of talk about Sonny Chiba, sorry, I have no idea who that is! Guess I'm not as nerdy as some would think. Even if you aren't in on some of the MANY inspirations Tarantino has managed to wedge...

    Tinkers Handbook?

    Well, we could always start a Netbook :) I love the idea of a Tinker but aren't intersted in playing in Dragonlance (maybe I will pick up the campaign setting if it has some good related info in this area) If not, I bet Eberron might have something more along these lines. In the meantime...

    Any RPG systems have good Firearms rules and feel ?

    D20 Modern. The basic firearm rules in the D&D DMG should be enough with a little creativity, or you could buy D20 Modern, pick & choose some of the goodies and add them to your D&D campaign. My upcoming campaign has somewhat of a Western feel to it. The only problem I'm having is finding a...
