    The printing press

    Maybe it would kill magic, just as science and technology killed much superstition in our world. Or maybe it spurs religious wars. Early adopting churches use the presses to produce cheap pamplets to spread the word and argue for the validity of their god's superiority. Eberron appears to...

    Comic sales - Need advice and help

    I'm in the same boat - I have 7000 comics and I'd like to sell off about half of that. I've sold them at conventions and I don't have the patience to sell them on eBay. When I have sold comics on eBay I used priorty mail boxes. I put the comics between two larger corrogated cardboard pieces...

    Fighter or Samurai?

    Samurai if its important to your character to be of "higher class" than a standard fighter. Samurai in OA are typically at the top of the ruling heirarchy in society. If your DM will be having you do a lot of social interaction, pick the samurai. If you pick the fighter and have it "immulate"...

    printing PDFs?

    I go for spiral bound, so I never have pages that fall out and I can fold the book over.

    Hey - I can't help it if people run off into battle! :p Same could be said about the True20 one-shot. I made some concessions (like having clues fall in your lap) that I would have usually made players work more for. I also didn't do another tactic - on the first night have one player get...

    I've been thinking about how in both games the BBEGs got away. :( Especially in the final round Nathan rolled a 20 and my demon made his save and flew away. I snatched defeat from the jaws of victory! :p As for the dragon, I'll admit I didn't think a little more broadly on spells. I was...

    Forcing Someone to DM?

    Maybe its time to institute a social contract. A social contract is a written agreement between all parties as to what is being played, how it will be played, behaviors that will be tolerated, and what will be done if someone steps over the line. A social contract is a way to hash out...

    Travelling Light to games

    I go two different ways depending how I feel: * Laptop (SRD, pdf adventures and notes) + small mini box + battle mat * 3 Core books + binder with notes + small mini box + battle mat I'd third (or is it fourth?) the idea of a rolling backpack. I could have sworn I saw a backpack made...

    How many different groups are you gaming with?

    I run one bi-weekly (D&D) and would like to start a second monthly game (D20 Modern).

    The Emperor is Dead!

    That's kinda sad. :( Makes you think the poor guy didn't have a friend who could talk some sense into him before he essentially had someone take his life.

    Finding a group

    Why is it a conflict of interest? There's lots of gamers that keep it "strictly professional" at the table. The reason I ask is I was a game club sponsor at a university I used to work at, but was the library director at the time, not a faculty member. I think a faculty member took it on...

    WOTC PDF Sale on RPGNow/DTRPG

    I'll probably pick up Weapons of Legacy, Spell Compedium and The Fiend Folio. I wish before the end of the sale WoTC would release a few more titles! :)

    Smaller or bigger dungeons?

    Player Motivation I like smaller because with bigger dungeons, after a few weeks, my players start asking - "why are we here again?" I'm running a 3.5 coverted adventure of The Lost City (B4) and my players know they are going into the pyramid to save the local matroness, who was kidnapped...

    Early Modern d20, or post-D&D

    I'm running a historical horror (France 1550s) one-shot this weekend using True20, The Demon Hunter's Handbook (Goodman Games) and Gunpowder Plots (Sword Edge Publishing). I've actually run it before and it worked well as an introduction to True20 for some D20 players. Other sources of...

    July purchases...

    Oh man - fear my sharpie-colored dice! Nothing screams "I'm making this all up, rules and everything" than jacked-up d6s! :lol: If you're going to play FUDGE/FATE with a straight face, the + - dice are the way to go.

    Orcs: How Important Are They?

    I'm not using the Orcs in the DCC-setting game that I run and raised the visibility of goblinoids. The hobgoblins have the Scourgelands, so that inspired me to think they were the top "bad-ass" bananas in this world. It's also nice that The Lazy GM: Goblinoids came out this past year, as I...
