    [OT]Blackout -- how long were you without power?

    I live on Long Island, in Nassau County. Our power came back about 2:15PM. My office (3rd & 55th st, Manhattan) came back on line about 2:30. There's still alot of people without it though.

    Gen Con indy next year date.

    Kinda speaking without knowing any of the important details here (who needs facts anyway?), but it seems odd that GenCon locked themselves into a three year deal without knowing what the dates were. If they did know what the dates were, didn't they check for conflicts? If Indy moved certain...

    [EN World Book Club] Suggestions & Selectors

    If it is out of print then it is not eligible for selection. Earlier on it was decided that if a book is not easily accessible (meaning can be ordered from Amazon without waiting for them to find a copy) then it would not be eligible. Checking on Amazon for Tower of Fear shows the paperback...

    [Dragon] Fiction in Dragon

    Just got issue 311 of Dragon in the mail. Doing my usual Dragon routine. Leafing through it before actually reading it. Notice that there's a Ben Bova short story in here. Now, I like reading short fiction. Got nothing against it. But I want cruncy D&D stuff in Dragon. Even a bit of...

    Are you a Roll-Player or a Role-player?

    I'm probably 60% roll-player / 40% role-player. Some nights I'm more 80%-role, but for the most part I like the rules & strategy a bit more than the role-playing. If I wanted to do heavy rp all the time, I'd play Amber or World of Darkness.

    Are you going to do the Steampunk thing?

    Not planning on it. Never really liked the steampunk thing. If I want some technology in my fantasy, give me Dragonstar. I really like that setting. I want to run a campaign there someday. Also need to integrate Oathbound into my game. Oh, yeah, there's the once a month CoCd20 campaign...

    NYC Gameday (Tentatively Sat 9/13 10am)

    I'd be interested in a once in a while (e.g. quarterly) gameday on a weekend. I'd like to put some faces to the names. Not to hijack the thread, but if you're going to ShoreCon at the end of this month, see the link in my sig.

    How do you decide quorum?

    I've got six players in my game, and it's pretty rare that everyone shows up. Normally there's one person who can't make it (work, significant other, life, etc). As long as I have four players, we play (hasn't happened that we haven't played yet). Players that aren't there have there PCs...

    [NJ, DE, PA and even VA, NY and all points East!] Shorecon [ENworld gathering]

    I'm pretty sure the RPGA events are being held every slot of the convention. The only slot I don't have any latitude on is the Sat. Nite Living Greyhawk Interactive (starts at 8PM). Other than that I am pretty open. Do you know what time you're running this? Any specific world? C'mon, fess...
