    Family D&D Campaign

    Good ideas Kyramus. I think it's still two early to tell if they are really ready for a "campaign" yet. We've had a couple of gaming sessions, and they seem to be content with "OK, tell me where to go and I'll go." A campaign may be too story driven for them at this point. I'll have to see...

    Cave Tiles (for miniatures)

    Actually, I was wondering if there is a program out there for the graphically challenged (such as myself) that would allow me to drag & drop the 1" tileset compenents into a battlemat representation of the dungeon.

    Cave Tiles (for miniatures)

    Wow. I think I had taken a look at your site a while back, but just looked again. Wow! I just d/l'ed all of the stuff there and defintely plan on using it. I love the tile idea, where we can use the 1" tiles to create our own designs. The cave prototype looks great! I'd definitely like to...

    Yeah, that's the way I do it. I guess I've gotten used to it. The cards work well for my group though. My players seem to ready & delay alot. Using the cards allows you to rearrange (without a whole bunch of lines & arrows) or pull a card out for a short period of time without messing up the...

    next years trends (poll)

    Buying more. Well yes. Because there is more stuff to buy. I remember way back in the early days of 3E, when you had to wait a whole month for WotC to publish a new book and every once in a while Fiery Dragon came out with something that got snapped up without even looking at it. Now there...

    BADK: Bothered about Disposable Kobolds

    Sure, just after I commit to my group to run them through RtToEE, they come out with the perfect mod! :mad: :mad:

    Re: program Wow. Just a little something he whipped up on a Thursday night huh? :p Do you have permission to share this program, or is it something your player is looking to distribute on a commercial basis?

    Family D&D Campaign

    I don't know if I want to implicitly "sanction" cliques. This is a fantasy game for the kids. That might be a little too close to home. Next time we play, I'll take some snapshots with the digital camera. :) --Sam

    Index Cards... That's my answer to everything:D . Well, almost. But I do use them for combats. I've got an index card for each PC with their name, max HP, saves, AC/Flat Foot/Touch, init modifier, etc. I prepare combats by having a card with each monster, hp, init mod too. Then when time...

    BADK: Bothered about Disposable Kobolds

    A BAND? What worthless DM needs a whole band of Kobolds to take down a paltry 30th level party? Chuck, I can TPK that group with ONE Kobold.

    Tales of a plush Cthulhu

    That's great! My wife couldn't believe that someone spent the time to put that together. I told her she should see some of the junk gamers could waste their time with :p

    Living Campaigns represented

    I'm pretty sure that TX is part of the Bandit Kingdoms in LG. If you do a search at yahoo groups for "Bandit Kingdoms" you should be able to find the discussion group for your region. From there you should be able to get all the local events that are going on. --Sam

    Living Campaigns represented

    My gaming group is very active in living campaigns. Most of the group travels to Cons on a regular basis to play Living Greyhawk. We run a fair amount of LG as sanctioned home play. I also run a subset of our gaming group through Living Dragonstar. We used to have interest in Living City...

    Family D&D Campaign

    I have thought about it and haven't really decided yet. I like the idea, but don't want to parallel the HP setting too closely. Part of the reason that I want the kids to roleplay is to expand their imagination. I'm afraid that if the world is too similar to something they can reference they...

    Family D&D Campaign

    1st session Had the first session today. I'm not the most prosaic writer, so don't expect any story hours here :p. I did want to let you folks know what's going on and what we did. Any feedback is appreciated. My 7 year old son decided to play a human fighter. My 10 year old daughter...

    "Certed" Campaign Items

    Not following you. If they are 8 1/2" x 11" pages that hold four pictures on them, how is rescaling going to fit them into 2" x 3 1/2" business card forms?

    "Certed" Campaign Items

    They look interesting, thanks for the post. I've already bought the business cardstock, and kind of like the dimensions of these. I've got these grandiose visions of my players having one or two sheets of business card holders in their binders holding all of their "certed" magic items. The...

    "Certed" Campaign Items

    In past threads we've talked about using index cards for spell & monsters. People have mentioned using Avery business cards that you run through your printer for campaign items as handouts for the players. Well, I've just got back from a Staples run (funny how you always wind up spending so...
