While in the game, hit the ` key. That's the tilda key. A prompt will appear in the upper left corner of the screen. Type DebugMode 0 (that's a zero). Some of the traps or triggers may appear on overlaid on the world now. If you press TAB, a list of commands can be entered into the prompt...

Bureau 13. This setting was so much fun, (Who remebers J.P. Withers?) but the system was so unwieldy! One round of combat could take up to 30 minutes if you used all of the rules available. I heard there was a d20 version planned but it apparently has been scrapped as I can't find a single...

Absolutely! And I'm very upset that I have to wait until Thursday! Stupid shipping snafus! I've been purusing the threads here and at the WotC boards, and everything I've seen has me more excited about the Psion/Metamind that I'm playing in our Forgotten Realms campaign.

I use the Abyssal Maw minis from the Dragoneye expansion for the D&D minis. They're colored an off-white, purplish "astral" goo color, and they look really strange anyways. Besides, I'll never use them as Abyssal Maws!

You've summed up my opinion better than I could have. No immediate devastation nearby, no loved ones in danger, and nothing I can do to stop it - let the dice fall my friends! And for the record, my group gamed the night of 9/11/01. Carp

I just finished The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene, I'm in the middle of Bad Astronomy by Philip Plait and next on the list is The Briar King by Greg Keyes. I need to break up the science reading occasionally.

Just a quick reminder for everyone who wants to leave the solar system: The fastest man-made objects are the Voyager spacecraft. They now cover about 2 feet per day on this scale, or 3.3 AU per year. (35,000 mph, 60,000 km/hr) At this speed, they'll get to Proxima Centauri, the next closest...

I found this really neat dice probability generator online. It should be able to handle anything you need to do. Dice Probability Generator Carp

Jay, I read Sword fo Shannara a few years ago myself and I felt much the same way. I pushed on and read Elfstones of Shannara and ended up even more disappointed. I couldn't bring myself to read Wishsong of Shannara, which is a shame because I had already bought it. I actually read LotR...

Kevin, Let me just say that if Spellslinger is half as enjoyable as your previous work, I know my group and I will be playing the first chance we get! I'm very excited about the book, and the preview cover offered at FFG's website is terribly tantalizing. Ship thos ebooks faster...please...

I'm currently playing a Psion 4th/ Metamind 3rd Shield Dwarf Psion named Kelm Deephammer. It's my first time playing in the Realms for an extended period of time and I'm loving it! Carp

Man, I'd really love to run two slots of XCrawl, specifically the New York Crawl, but March 13th is the Saturday after my wife's birthday, so I know I'll be busy. True love wins out over dice-slinging anytime. Sorry. Carp

Farscape was never my favoritw show, but I have to say congratulations to it's fans for makign this happen. You guys are some of the most tenacious people I have ever met! Way to go guys! Now turn your attention to Firefly! Please! CarpBrain

Yeah, the paperback is being released on March, 30th and I am eagerly awaiting it. I really enjoyed the first two books of Keyes' Age of Unreason series and I'll be finishing the last two by March 30th. Carp

Before the D&D miniatures came out, anytime I needed a new monster or NPC for the game, I would go through the boxes of common Magic cards at my local shop. There are all kinds of interesting counters there, and for large creatures you simply cut the entire picture out. I've found a Dire Ape...

I'm really interested in this question, as I've been looking for a reason to buy RTTTOEE. I think the guys are right about getting more info over at Monte's site. Well, I'm in a generous mood, and since it only took me two minutes, I pasted and copied the original question and the two...

The website states that it is useful for creating adventures and maps, but very little is devoted to describing how it is used to create adventures. Are they refering to creating encounters, i.e. monster stats and treasure? Just maps? Professional layout of adventures with flavor text in...

Ah, the NES, how I miss thee... On an XBox not though, I bought one for my wife. She is a big Tetris nut, but she also picked up I,Ninja which is fun in a problem solving way (though I would prefer a bit more combat) and some Mummy game. I also bought Morrowind Gold for myself, but have yet...

Shadowstar, Thanks for all of the useful info. I'll check out the fiction and swing by the forums when I get a break from the holidays. Regardless of the lame jokes everyone seems to be making, I'm rather interested. Thanks again. Carp

Any further word on this? I've been poking around the website that AEG set up, but it doesn't have anything new. And their meager forums don't even have a section devoted to discussing it. I'm actually very curious about the setting, since I talked with some of the AEG guys at Origins a few...
