    Hi Bob, I sent an email last week to your address about our group that plays in the Greyslake/Gurnee area. Did you happen to get that email? Thanks! mac1054

    Madison, WI looking to play or DM

    Hi Cr0w and fellow Wisconsinite! I DM for a group down in the Gurnee Illinois area (I know it's a bit of a drive- but I wouldn't if the group wasn't worth it). We are currently running a Midnight game and we are only about 4 adventures into it. We typically play twice a month, sometimes only...

    Anyone picked up Midnight Fury of Shadows

    I picked it up a couple of weeks ago. It's well worth the $50 price tag in my book (although, of course I am biased as I love the Midnight campaign setting). The fold-out map is great quality and is not just a reprint of the one found in the setting book, but also includes new locations found in...

    reluctant to ask...

    I purchased RPGSoundmixer about a month ago and have spent about a total of 6-8 hours learning the ins and outs as well as playing with all of the included sound files. I think it is a wonderful tool (for the amount I paid for it- about $20 US) and I put it to use for the first time this last...

    Looking for some moral challenges

    How about a cursed magical item (a single hand wrap for example that gives him a bonus to attack or damage- something that his munchkiny self would slaver over) that he will have to chop off his hand to remove or slowly be turned to evil? Edited for poorly structured sentence.

    Maiming Your PCs

    Thanks for the all replies so far, it's great to see different viewpoints and takes on limb loss and maiming of characters. I personally, as the DM, did not confront the player before hand about the loss of his limb. I did know in my head that the player would be the best one to handle the loss...

    Maiming Your PCs

    The adventure I ran yesterday, one of the PC's had his arm ripped off by an Umber Hulk. The PC was the group's Ranger (actually Wildlander in the Midnight Campaign Setting), and the player is actually handling it rather well. He is determined to keep playing the character, which I was hoping he...

    Tell Me About The Miniatures Industry

    I was a general manager for a miniatures company for awhile and learned quite a bit about the industry in my time. GW is the big player on the block, but you'll find hordes that are ready to convert (to another game system) just so they can stick it to GW. There is a lot of money in the minis...

    D&D Sound Effects?

    I've recently been entertaining the idea of working sound effects into my games via computer as well. I went and downloaded rpgsoundmixer which is a great tool (and pretty inexpenive at about $20 USD) which not only comes with a god selection of sound effects and fantasy tracks, but the heart of...

    Northern Chicago Area Game Group Looking for New Players

    Hello, Our group is looking to add one (possibly two) more player(s). We get together in Lake County about one to two times a month for some good ol' 3.5e D&D. We are playing a Midnight game currently, but only recently started (we've only been through two sessions). Our group's average age is...

    Help w/ the world of MIDNIGHT

    I don't think it is a difficult world to run at all, but there definitely is an atmosphere that you will want to shoot for to give it the right feel. Fury of Shadow, a new box set for Midnight will be hitting store shelves sometime in the next week or so, and that has a lot of new campaing...

    Gencon 05

    Small world Jaws! Irish Fest kept me from going this year as well. I was helping my Pa out at the Genealogy Tent this year. Printing out coat of arms and surname histories just wasn't as fun as rolling dice and walking the exhibit hall though ;) I think I'll make arrangements ahead of time to...

    I offer my voice as your DMing prop!

    I'm not sure if Soundmixer can do this or not. Feel free to look around their website for an answer, or send them an email. As I mentioned, I just purchased it over the weekend and haven't had that much time to play with it. The instructions are pretty vague, and so I spent most of my time...

    I offer my voice as your DMing prop!

    I can't think of anything specific that I need at this moment, but you've piqued my interest at a time when I am hunting down all the free sound effects and fantasy music I can right now. I purchased a neat little program called RPG SoundMixer, and even though it's by a German company (they've...
