Here are two more tips that I came up with after my last post. When I start a new campaign that has the possibility of lasting a while, I don't let any of my current friends into it. I try to find as much new blood as possible. What this has resulted in over the years is that now, when I want...

I have something for you that may be of help, I know it saved my campaigns and I have never regretted the technique. Before I start any campaign, I contact each player individually and ask for them to submit three character concepts. Each concept must be a two or three paragraph describing a...

Add the pockets! That would be sweet, make it sort of a swiss army dice bag. Do you guys sell chainmail dice bags?

Tsyr There are several approaches that you can take. My initial response would be to tell him to kiss off, but lets face it, here in the real world that usually isn't the option. If I were in your shoes, here is what I would do. This is based on what I have read and inferred from your post...

Rather than gratuitous bumping, perhaps we could actually have a conversation? What would you like to see in a new world setting? I for one would like to see a departure from the norm, less of an earth taste. It is my feelings that earth cultures have been done to death. Although I never got...

My dice "bag" is a Tupperware bowl. I have pitched this idea to other dice bag manufacturers but none have bit. Make a dice bag that can also double as a bottle cozy. All you really need to do is put a round piece of plastic or somesuch in the bottom. And then sew like a couple of smallish...

Personally I think GenCon should be in Kansas City, that is nice and centrally located. A respectable driving distance from the greater part of the US, and most importantly my house.

8-12 seems reasonable for a book of that size in paper back or perfect bound. I am hardly an expert however. From what I have seen, you will be hard pressed to keep it under 64 pages. Of course, interior art work would be minimal I suspect. soem of those ideas could be written about with such...

Monte's list is pretty definative. I have been using it since he first posted it on his website. I made it my mission to acquire everything on the list (I still have a few titles to go). One thing I do is rip the music off of the CD's and store them on my hard drive, I DO NOT post them to...

BTW If there are people who are offended by the Special Olympics thing, as the starter (?) of this thread I apologize for using the word retarded out of context. I meant no more offense than when I said Dominoes are of the devil. I poke fun at everything, including my own weird habits and...

Nice Special Olympics reference, it reminds me of a joke that a performer friend of mine tells on stage. Yeah I think the divisiveness of gamers sub-sub-cultures is definately more prevalent on other boards than it is here. What ignited me was the Harniacs post, ah well. It doesn't take...

Sorry Doug, I wasn't making fun. My last name is Simpson, I get ALL KINDS of "Are you related to Homer/Bart" jokes. I usually reply with "No I am not! But that was REALLY funny! I don't think I have ever heard THAT before!" Then I bust out in a REALLY uncomfortable laugh. It makes me giggle.

Re: Re: Divisions in Gamers (sorta Rant) My gods! Can you imagine if we were as bad as religions! I have images of WotC zealots in White Wolf parking lots throwing rocks at the building, riot police storming in. Seattle would be like a gaming West Bank. Each game following would have its...

Thanks Henry for the welcome message. Better Homes and Gardens on Skateboarding! Now THAT is funny. When my family get together for a nice afternoon, we usually play Grand Theft Auto 3, I just love the way little Timmy handles those pesky Cops. What would be equally entertaining is if...

I have been tooling around out here and more than once I have noticed threads that go into immense detail on just how one game is better than another, and why anyone that play's a certain company's game is a lame-o. I have also noticed that people seem to be rather inflammatory to others that...

I no longer maintain the web page, but when I was doing it I used Dreamweaver to design everything, I find that it is a fairly intuitive software. It can be purchased from Macromedia. It met with some rave reviews. Now I just host the website on my own private machine with remote hosting...

I know that it says Doug Herring, but I distinctly saw Doug Henning! Man would THAT be weird.

I would like to see hardcover. I have yet to see any of the Green Ronin stuff or the Mongoose collections. Quite Frankly I find Mongoose material to be a bit too unbalanced for my games, so I am not sure that I would trust their judgement. Absolutely on offense is intended by that statement...

Table Top all the way. That is who I was referring to that caters to us Closet Gamers. Battlezone and Pirate Games are stinky. Pirate used to be great, hell I hung out there with some regularity but I cannot stand it any more.
