    Necromancer Q&A: Let's ask Orcus some questions!

    After all this Necro-goodness, I hate to ask, but is there a projected release date for Glades of Death? The website and forums still list Januray. Thanks.

    Books Bought on Reviews/Recommendations?

    I just purchased The Black Company campaign setting based on the excellent review that was written about it here, as well as the discussions that have been going on in the d20/OGL forum.

    Just a single bump, since it's for a good cause.

    Grow the hobby for the holidays!

    Guys, Whether we all realize it or not, our hobby needs fresh new players to continue. It's a niche market, and as we get older, some of us stop playing and our hobby shrinks, little by little. I often think about ways that I can "grow the hobby" and involve new young players in it. One of...

    Need someone to check my dice probability results

    Here is the situation: In the game we are playing, characters may have a skill rank ranging from 1 to 20 (n), and to suceed at a task, the player must roll at or below his skill rank on a d20. Therefore the chance of success (S) for an event is S = n/20. Now, during the game, a player may...

    Tutoring a 13 year old in Science

    Have your friend take a look at www.sciencespot.net. I've used this before, and I spent free time during parent/teacher conferences today checking it out. He should be able to find loads of activties/lessons/experiments for her to do on this site.

    Tutoring a 13 year old in Science

    What kind of science is she learning? Life science? Earth science? Physical science? If it's physical science, like chemistry and physics (only the basics folks!), then there are lots of demos/activites that he can do with her geared toward the material that is being covered in class. Some...

    What are the best books for Scarred Lands?

    I don't run a Scarred Lands game, but I've gotten a lot of use out of Wilderness & Wastelands. It contains ideas for encounters and hazards (both natural and magical) in various types of terrain, including mountains, deserts, forests, swamps, etc. I've used the book to make overland trips much...

    DM Murder

    Happened to me a few years ago, but as a player. None of the players were having any fun, and in fact, most were going home rather frustrated with the adventures. We did exactly what BH outlines above. We took the time to talk to the DM as a friend and told him what we weren't enjoying about...

    Just Finished Dark Tower 7 Want Opnions (TOTAL SPOILERS)

    I found it quite clear, especially since King prefaced the entire Coda portion with a discussion of how it's the journey that is important, not the ultimate goal. He's simply driving this home to you, by beginning Roland on his journey again. Time was not turned back, Susannah is still with...

    Participation problem

    Speaking as a former player of Crothian's... Crothian, What you're describing sounds very familiar to situations that I went through. Each of the campaigns you run generally has a single character as the focus, so I find it surprising that this is the first time you have come across this. In...

    trading d&d minis

    Jeff, Hey howdy stranger! I wondered why you dissappeared from maxminis. I went on vacation for about two weeks near the beginning of summer and when I returned you were gone. It's ashame you ran into the problems that you did, and I can understand your frustration with some aspects of the...

    trading d&d minis

    That banner is hilarious! Even my non-gaming wife thought it was funny. Thankfully she's just geeky enough to like Star Wars. I also didn't realize that we were up to 2500 members. The site really has grown since last year.

    trading d&d minis

    After 55 successful trades (with 4 more pending), I will vouch for maxminis, as one of the best sites around. In fact, I've traded with Etan before! I love the fact that the entire trade community is self regulated. Stop on over and check it out, as it is also one of the most welcoming...

    Necromancer Q&A: Let's ask Orcus some questions!

    9. With the cancelation of Necromancer's Game does the company have any other plans in the works to prduce an Arcana Unearthed adventure or sourcebook? Or is this something that you would pursue if the right writer came along? Thanks for answering our questions Clark!

    JH NameGen Gold is going away

    Just took a look at this product's demo, and fell in love with it! How did I miss this? While my current campaign is ending in two weeks, I'm sure I'll get years of use out of this. Combine this with the electronic SRD from Creative Mountain Games and my laptop is now a neccessity at the...
