It really depends on the role you want the players to have in the battle. SOG group? Unit commanders? Generals? Spies? Scouts? Artillery crew? Cooks? Cannon fodder? There are these rules: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/other-rules/mass-combat And there are the more detailed rules in...

I would suggest doing all of the above. If you want to find a specific kind of person, you need to increase the number of times you meet and interact with people of that type, which is what you were asking in the OP. So college, conventions and dating sites would all be good ideas. If you...

It is fascinating to me how much people will spend on them. A $40 t-shirt? WTF??

Would you rather an elephant kill you, or a gorilla?

One system that does that very well, IMO, is chapter 2 of the Book of Broken Dreams. Its not really intended for PCs, but you can use it that way. Its intended for NPCs development.

Lots of new updates to report since the last post on these boards: Part 2 and part 3 of The Battle of Monster Island have been released on Amazon. The Key of Koth Rak Knarr has also been realesed We have also released part 2 of The Game, Separate Ways. We've also made some progress...

Part 1 of The Game is available now. Check it out here. We’ve also released a title on Amazon. Check out the first issue of a five part serial set in 1948 right here. It’s an action packed, illustrated short story about a group of Rangers who are shot down over a remote island, overrun with...

For maps I either use the Fractal Mapper or draw them by hand, scan them, and enhance with photoshop, depending on the look I want. You can make a grid map easy with the FM. To add a grid to a hand-drawn map in photoshop is a little trickier, but it can be done by working with layers.

Thanks everyone. I ended up getting Acrobat 9. It installed and works fine with my system. I was able to learn it fast and should be producing more PDFs with it soon. Be on the look out for more 1948 game supplements, more Oz stories, a couple collections of artwork and a 6-part comic book...

That's my next question too. And what about layout tools? I'd like to be able to wrap text and insert hyperlinks, use background images, and include a hyperlinked table of contents. I know I can do all that and a lot more with Adobe 9, but what about the other Free and low cost PDF generators?

Yeah, the older version of Acrobat won't run on Vista. So I need to get something that will. I don't mind paying for Acrobat 9 if it'll work. I'm really wondering if there are any other good options out there in the market place.

So I'm looking at getting some new software to make PDFs with. I've been using an older version of Acrobat for about 8 years now. Its not compatable with my new PC (which is running Vista) so I need to get something new. I've looked at Acrobat 9 and PRIMOPDF, but I'm skeptical of both. I'd...

I was watching Minority Report a while back. Just a few days before that, I was watching one of the Dirty Harry movies. I noticed how both movies have ridiculous chase scenes in them. The chase goes on for a LONG time, and it always involves rooftops and awkward bystanders. A lot of movies have...

The history channel is great fiction.

I'm reading over Kobold Hall and thinking about running it, but I'm confused about something. What is up with the boulder in area 4? How long does it roll until it stops? I tend to think once around the room is enough, but the text says "The kobolds prefer to let the boulder crush the PCs. They...

"we should have wandered around outside and leveled up!" LOL!

Yeah, I just hate it. I like strength training well enough, but I've never liked running or biking. Having a bad knee doesn't help, but even before that injury I never did cardio work unless I had to for sports or gym class in high school. 10 minutes on a bike isn't long, but its 10 minutes...

Yeah, that's why I say: I weigh the same as I did a year ago, but I'm a lot stronger now. So I'm sure I've lost some fat and gained some muscle. It is sometimes hard to see changes in the mirror, as change is usually slow and people often look at themselves in the mirror everyday. So I rely...

My biggest problems are: 1. Not going to the gym regularly 2. poor diet. I'm in better shape now than I was last year at this time, but I haven't lost a pound. Back in Sept. I was hitting new personal records in weight lifting, but then I stopped going as much and so I've dropped off on the...
