I heard back from 3.5PS/Know Direction and they don't remember talking about anything like this on their podcast, so no luck there. I think I'm going to be better off looking outside of D&D anyway.

I'm beginning to think I'm better off going outside the D&D box on this one. Maybe with something like Mini-Six, OpenD6, OpenQuest or some other fantasy RPG that will do everything I want. Goal System Delves might also work well, as it comes from the angle of being a miniature game first and...

I sent the guys who make the podcast an email. Hopefully they'll know :D

Sorry! I should have added: 7) Still create your own characters and have access to the full advancement and character building options of an RPG Neither the 2003 board game nor the more recent D&D board games offer that.

So I've been talking with a friend of mine about playing a fantasy RPG/miniature game about fantasy exploration of dangerous locations without the pretense of story participation or characterization or backstory or character concept or anything like that. Basically a D&D game that never leaves...

It's good to feel good about the way you look. Fantastic point Morrus!

It's actually ironic when you think about it. If you prioritize learning and the mind to the point where you see exercise as a waste of time, it actually hurts your mind and your ability to learn. The price to pay is more than just at some far off time in the future when the damage of a...

From your next collumn: Fantastic and very well put. There's definitely an element of those who play RPGs who really separate their mind from their body, over emphasize the mind and downplay anything to do with the body. Just as there are people who pursue lofty spiritual goals and separate...

By all means, do that! Hopefully after you exercise regularly enough, what you get from it will show you that you're ideas about what is productive and what's not don't necessarily map to reality.

Dannyalcatraz -That is totally a great technique for paying attention to your food. You can also think about textures as well. Another great technique is to get yourself some whole grain bread and some olive oil (a couple teaspoons at most) and as an appetizer eat the whole grain bread dipped...

The best thing about neurobiology is that we can manipulate it. For example, it is common among obese people to eat food while not paying attention to it. In FMRI studies, they tend to get the least actual satisfaction from food when they eat it. But if you simply adopt the practice of only...

Celery and cabbage are great choices for post-workout hunger. Eating red cabbage raw after a work out usually works for me. I also find the key is having them available and ready right away. Baggies or containers of chopped up veggies that you start munching on as soon as you are cooled down...

I'm a fan of small PDFs for cheap. Usually I've found the content to be worth the price and the price per page doesn't have to be worse than longer PDFs at a higher price. As for referencing them, I just sort them into folders based on game system, setting or publisher and just set up...

Having gains eroded by eating is probably the most frustrating part of trying to lose body fat. Body fat is stored energy, so there's not too many ways of getting rid of it that don't involve expending energy. In the end though, success or failure will depend on a change in life style. And...

Consider my eyes rolled. I figured that the utility of goal setting and the health benefits of a whole body approach to fitness had hit the point of common knowledge, but I'm still shocked at how much 1960s era exercise science is still engrained in people's brains. If you want to learn more...

If doing something winds you it's not because you have fitness shortcomings in the cardiovascular area, it's because the activity is beyond the muscles you are using and your body increases blood flow and then breathing in response. For example, if you start running every day you'll find 90...

I've seen dice inside of dice in person before and while they are okay, they have one major flaw that makes me not want to have them rolled in my presence: the horrible horrible sound they make when you roll them. Nails on chalkboard.

Stop telling a story. Let the story emerge from play by creating the situation.

I found this: http://shop.cubicle7store.com/epages/es113347.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es113347_shop/Products/CB77003 Which appears to be the print product, but searching for a PDF seller hasn't turned up anything..

For sure. It's really hard to get a good picture of what's going on. We have a few large publishers and a ton of tiny ones, but it's never been easier for players and publishers to be connected directly. My money is on the internet being the future of RPGs. Whether it's for sale of content...
