I was listnening to NPR awhile back and one of the local (and probably most respected) restaurant critics here in Milwaukee was commenting on the price of meals in the city, but I think could make a statement about the rest of the country as well. The critic explained that many restaurants...

Thought I read in an interview that they would not be making a Mac version of Etools, unless it was exceedingly popular. I might be wrong on this though. -mac1504

Well, yes that is a problem... but I think the major problem is the time of year GenCon is held. Summer in Milwaukee is almost always busy, that's why they call it the City of Festivals. With Summerfest, the ethnic fests, State Fair, Bastille Days, River Splash, etc. there is always going to be...

Well, that is not what I was implying Herald, rather maybe he is trying to garner a little attention among D&D fans for his upcoming "secret" projects he mentions in the article. Sorry if I wasn't clear on my statement ;) -mac1504

Hannibal or Conan? Has anyone heard that Vin is supposedly playing Conan's son in the Conan sequel that is rumoured to be in the works? I also saw that Vin Diesel is working on a Hannibal movie where he will play the Carthaginian general. Maybe that is what all this D&D "research" is for...

Video Drivers I was having problems running the Toolset, and I am running a very old system (400Mhz Pentium II, 128Ram, Riva TNT 16mb video). I updated the drivers for my video card (2832 Detonator Drivers XP for my TNT card) and everything is working great. It's still really slow- but that's...

Thanks for the recommnedations. They had a small review on Charlie Company- but I didn't like the fact that the reviewer said there wasn't much difference in throwing a grenade than firing an M-16! But I liked the fact that Charlie Company has some role-playing elements in it. Maybe I need to...

I've been looking to get into a skirmish level vietnam-era or modern day miniatures wargame. I was hoping some of the bright peoples of this board would have some recommendations. I would like something not too terribly complicated- but not overly simplistic either. I've seen Charlie Company...

I'm actually graduating this weekend with a BA in Business (MIS)!! -mac1504

Well Rashak, you bring up a good point- a point that I've used in my campaign. The lizardmen empire has become quite lazy and overfed. Their kingdom has spread over a large area, and their king is nearing death and he has numerous offspring that are vying for control of the throne once he dies...

For food of course ;) Haven't you seen the mini-series V? -mac1504

I've reduced the elven lifespan from "almost-immortal" to a mere 250 years- so they haven't been in the camps that long. And can't lizardmen imprison someone for 2000 years? It is fantasy afterall ;) -mac1504

Thanks for the advice and ideas everyone. I'm not sure if the lizardmen are that sophisticated to employ a lot of psychological tactics to their slavery operations- but I've still got a lot of good ideas from this thread. Thanks again. ...(mutters to himself) Soylent Elves...hehe... didn't...

Thanks mouseferatu, that makes sense. -mac1504

Ahh, the movie Soylent Green... haha good one Mark. -mac1504

Could you please explain Soylent Elves? Sorry I just woke up yesterday ;) -mac1504

In a campaign I'm developing, elves have been enslaved by a race of lizardfolk/yuan-ti for generations. The lizardfolk/yuan-ti have kept the elves in 'concentration camps' in order to maintain control over them and put them to work for their reptilian society. I need a name besides...

Thanks everyone, some really great ideas- but nothing strikes me. I'll work on it with some of the ideas you've given me. Thanks again for all the input. -mac1504

A friend of mine and I are working on running a campaign soon- with me as the main DM and he as the co-DM. Its been great because I get to bounce ideas off of him, and he gives me valuable and critical feedback on the ideas. Sometimes he tells me straight that ideas stink or they simply don't...

I should have also said that the organization is seen as a good organization throughout much of the realms- they have a very political orientation. They should have a name that little boys would chant or say with reverence as they are playing 'Knights and Evil Magic Users' ;) Thanks. -mac1504
