    Looking for Clear Plastic Rods for Battlemap Use...

    If you go with a 1" diameter, and you intend to stand them up, I would recommend basing them. (Which may be why the elevation indicators aren't entirely overpriced because now you're making modifications and spending time.) Clear plastic anything is hard to find. Google turned up lots of hits...

    Boston Gameday - Sat, March 15th (FULL!)

    Cool! (I can certainly still bring my set of Tact-tiles if someone else needs to borrow them.)

    Greatest Moment While DMing

    One of the coolest moments had to be at Gen Con 2006. A convention game I was running had all litorian PCs (lion men). In the midst of a huge, tense fight with a troupe of lightning blasting mageblades, people in cages to rescue, and a horrible, horrible black scorpion-clad stunted dramojh that...

    Gencon Sued by LucasFilm (over Star Wars Celebration Make-a-Wish auction)

    A fair point and something that I had forgotten. However, I have seen stays lifted for the limited purpose of discovery by judges, and informal discovery can of course go forward if both parties agree. I think my point is still valid absent the Chapter 11 filing. You are correct that this will...

    Gencon Sued by LucasFilm (over Star Wars Celebration Make-a-Wish auction)

    Actually, it sounds like we have zero hard information and a lot of allegations in a Complaint. :cool: I deal with lawsuits daily. With little businesses accused of nothing more than existing (so someone can go after a deep pocket) to people who screw up and try to cover it up. Frankly, I...

    Boston Gameday - Sat, March 15th (FULL!)

    Piratecat (or anyone else familiar with the venue), I see I'm signed up for the game room. Is there a tact-tile/battlemat/marked surface available? Or should I bring my own in? (Which I'm happy to do.) Characters are about 50% done. Glad Yttrai got a spot. Looking forward to this!

    GenCon files Chapter 11

    I'm optomistic! :D The bankruptcy is a perfectly common way to manage debt. It's unfortunate that it has a title that it does. However, Gen Con LLC has always been forthright, and they have always said that the Indy venue has been profitable.

    No more cone shaped powers?

    The revised cones will be easier to execute. So that's okay. Removing them for the sake of removing them? Eh. That would be too big a change. Now, what are they doing to fix line effects on diagonals. (And please don't say "removing them". ;) )

    East Coast USA by Railway

    The Vermonter runs from Vermont clear down to Washington DC, twice a day. You can get a connecting ticket to switch in NYC or Springfield MA to go to Boston instead. As Piratecat says, it's slower, but the seats are way more comfortable. You're not driving. You can read, relax, get up and go to...

    Propane tanks and lightning...

    Correct. I store my grill inside my garage. I do take it outside to light it however, and make sure to turn off everything before it goes away.

    Boston Gameday - Sat, March 15th (FULL!)

    Here's a possibility. I can run it again some other time, some other place? :cool:

    Hey! Nature Aquarium World! Who put that out again? ;)

    Boston Gameday - Sat, March 15th (FULL!)

    Coming soon to Channel 2, This Old Module. Ten years later, it gets followed by This New Adventure.

    How should I apply the following plot hook

    Essato. What's missing from Mark's communication is the notion that you talk to the player outside the game to set this up before the finale.

    Do the PCs ever die in these playtest reports?

    Yes! Tradition still lives in 4th Edition. :cool:

    Today My Bookcase Collapsed Under the Weight of My RPGs

    I guess we've always had good luck with our shelves. (Funny story though!) Several are these excellent folding wooden bookshelves from Bed, Bath and Beyond. They don't appear to be carrying them right now, but for $40.00 we got something made from Chinese oak or elm, excellent finish, highly...

    Boston Gameday - Sat, March 15th (FULL!)

    Cool. If anyone wants something in specific, they are welcome to write it up themselves. Good characters obviously. Don't go crazy with tons of splat books that I don't have. There will be one dervish character, probably a rogue with a couple cool feats out of Six Arabian Nights.

    Boston Gameday - Sat, March 15th (FULL!)

    Afternoon please! If I can make the morning at all (dubious given my drive and my family having things to do), I will want to play. Glad I made someone's year. :cool: Uh, for scheduling purposes, we'll go with six slots please. These will be 8th level PCs, though I'm happy to drop the level...

    Boston Gameday - Sat, March 15th (FULL!)

    Figured out what I will run. (Though the Hollow Earth expedition looks horribly tempting.) In Search Of: The City of Brass Step aboard the sandship, effendi. The captain awaits us. Like an eighth voyage of Sinbad, we will seek the fabled City of Brass. Though the jackals howl in the stark...
