    Twenty Five Years

    I don't remember the first game I played by I am on my 25th year of gaming also and just wrote a long winded e-mail to my current GM who is having interpersonal problems with his gaming group (its the group I'm in), offering all of the advice I could think of. While I'm doing this, I'm thinking...

    Against the Giants:G2 GenCon Recap!

    Wow that brought back lots of memories from that night, as usual Leopold, it was a blast. Of course since I was late I get stuck with the lamest character EVAR!! How cool is a human ranger with Favored Enemy: Giant taken 3 times. Totally lame. I wanted the ettin, that would have been way...

    AEG's Empires

    I had the same feeling when I first read the title, but I like Mike's work and I'll definately be picking this up, esp if it integrates well with D&D -- Dynasties and Demogouges :)

    Limits on character creation: Opinions?

    I'm running a game where the players are elves from the nation of Evermeet. Guess what, I limited to all elves :) It seems to have worked pretty well so far. Eventually I want to run a dwarven clan game too. Limitations are good for me as a GM, I can tailor the campaign specifically to the...

    Mi-5

    I've been TiVoing it since it first aired here in the states. I also take no offense to any view that America's are not all nice people. I liked the plot involving the pro-life movement, it was pretty cool.

    D20 Rules Light

    I like idea A. I have been thinking of this very same thing for my D&D game since I use Action Dice (pretty similar to Spycraft/Stargate's implementation of them, but geared towards Fantasy role play).Each time you get an action die in game, you gain 25 x your current level in experience. You...

    WW's Adventure/Abberent/Trinity to be d20! (Merged w/other thread)

    This is great news. I really like both Aberrant and Trinity (I never could find enough people to play Adventure! so I never bought it). Maybe d20 will bring some more people into the fold, heck I'll get Aberrant just to use the super powers rules they use :)

    uberorcs?

    Apply a template or two. I picked up the Book of Templates from Silverthorne Games and applied the Dreadnought template to some 8th level Barbarian orc. Talk about putting the fear into the players! They still talk about the Dreadnought Orcs in reverence or is that fear :) As the players got...

    Free Will and Choices

    I like to give the illusion of free will :) The group can go off and do what it wants, but eventually, if they ignore things enough, it will bite them in the butt. I also have no problems with them just packing up and running off to do something else, I like the sponteneity of it all. As an...

    Character Sheets

    I did and I was pretty impressed with how quickly I could customize the sheet. Its nice to find a program that does almost exactly what I want it to do without doing more than I need. Its rather refreshing :)

    Forgotten Realms experts come here.......

    I think Savage Frontier deals with this area in detail. Let me look.... Yup, its got Icewind Dale all detailed. This is a second edition book that is out in PDF form now. I bought it originally from WotC, but I don't think they are still selling them, the distribution rights was sold to...

    Request for info - program to push windows updates to PC's?

    We use SMS (Systems Management Service) but it is rather complex and requires both money and a client to be installed on the workstation. If you can get it, it works great if setup correctly. The week we installed the MS03-039 patch to ALL devices in the company (that is around 831 servers and...

    SRD Spells Database 3.5

    I would love to see this database and I can probably give assistance with it. I don't know about the spell slots idea, but I can ask some of my co-workers and see what they think.

    Should the whole idea of class skills be done away with?

    One idea that I have not seen presented is just to reduce the cost of Cross Class skills to 1 skill point per rank, leaving the max rank cap that they normally have. or Remove the specified list of class skills and grant each class a specifi amount (based on the number of skills they normally...

    Release Date for Stargate SG-1 from AEG?

    I got the book at GenCon and it is pretty good. As for an entry level game, it may be more of an intermediate game system. The game seems to be pretty advanced, utilizing the new initiative system presented in the Modern Arms Guide. Depending on your actions, your initiative count changes (ie...

    Cool beans :) I just bought a copy tonight since you gave me that demo at GenCon (and you bought me a beer). The update sounds pretty cool, can't wait to see it.

    My wife Lisa and I have lots of experience organizing, writting and running these types of events. Three times a year we create a team based adventure for up to 36 players at a time. We have also helped with some of the "Mega Dungeon Crawls" that we run at our local game store. Since we will...

    Which popular TV sitcom family does your group most resemble?

    Us too :) My 2 1/2 year old daughter is totally into Stewie. We are training her to say "I'm an evil genius!", "I call upong the dark side", and "I have a devious countermeasure". I'm definately Peter, although I'm smarter, less of a sexist, a better driver and father. Actually the only...

    Attn: Possible Virus Warning - People On Yahoo Mail?

    That sounds pretty suspicious. I don't think Yahoo is running around cancelling accounts. You did the right thing by not opening the attachment.
