    RPTools Online Tabletop Games..your experiences?

    I have just started looking at it but am unsure if I will use it. I need something like this but am not the best when it comes to prep stuff. However, it was easy to configure and figure out. It made it a lot more interactive and would make it easier for the guys not physically at the table...

    Spelljammer Boxed Set Sells for $91 on E-Bay!

    eBay is good and bad, mostly good. I like Dark Sun, so didn't sell that and when I go looking for it, the boxed sets are usually expensive. I got into a bidding war but stopped and $35 for the 2nd boxed set. The first boxed set, though, varies wildly. One might go for $25 but the next day...

    SKYPE, Ventrillo, or Teamspeak: which best with online tabletop games?

    We have been using Skype and have had no problems with multiple voices. If anything, it's the old problem of having too many speak at the same time! Also, it seems to do better video, in that there is almost no lag. So, it's a definite good thing. Emirikol: Thanks for the heads up about...

    SKYPE, Ventrillo, or Teamspeak: which best with online tabletop games?

    I have a few things to offer. I am gaming with four at the table and two remote at the same place. We started trying to use yahoo and the cameras we had, and their webcam service, wasn't very good. Further, when using them, we found that audio was a LOT more improtant than video. It may be...

    Best.. USB HUB... ever....!

    It does it whenever you plug something into it! You can always turn it off, if you don't want to hear it. edg

    D&D 4E How would you re-envision Darksun with 4e?

    Najo: Thanks! I didn't remember most of that, so it helped. So, the iron mine means that all roads lead to Tyr? :) Ah, that's right about Hamanu. I vaguely remember that now. Hmmm. I thought I read somewhere that one of the cities was all about fighting. They loved fights and...

    Best.. USB HUB... ever....!

    It works pretty well for me. I did have a problem where it didn't recognize a USB device I plugged into it. However, possibly after a reboot, it did recognize it. Besides, it's kewl! :) edg

    D&D 4E How would you re-envision Darksun with 4e?

    Even though I think the designers intended Tyr to be free, I would leave it under Kalak and run it as the first box says. What I would do is a lot more fluff. I would do a lot more with how playing under a SK could work. (Ga'ould from Stargate.) I would talk more about the benefits about...

    D&D 3.x getting rid of 'common' in 3.5 forgotten realms campaign?

    "Thorass is an old human language, the direct descendent of Common." source: http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Thorass See also: http://www.badgerworks.net/hobbysite/fr3/language.html http://oracle.wizards.com/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind0002d&L=realms-l&D=1&P=2596 edg

    "Reductio...absurdum!"

    I think the Dresden Files has the best explanation of magic. In it, Harry speaks faux Latin. As he explains it, the words aren't important. All they do is help focus the will of the wizard. So, he says something that's Latin-esque and talks about air or wind and that type of effect...

    Forgotten Realms - 3000 AD

    In all the books I read, designers suggest only doing what is necessary. So, go high level. Figure out what empires are where, pick the style you want. Do you want a division between technology and magic? (Shadowrun/Buffy) Do they work together? (Steampunk or chaostech) Maybe something...

    Forgotten Realms - 3000 AD

    I think that's tough because I don't see their tech tree going the same as earth, because of magic. So, maybe you go to some sort of steam punk or some game where magic and technology have evolved together? Chaostech? d20 Modern in FR? Maybe take the classes and ideas from Urban Arcana...

    What changes were made from 3E to 3.5 ?

    As was recently pointed out to me, there is a bigger effect to the buff spells to be a straight +4. When it's a die effect, it can be maximized and empowered. If it's just a number, it can't be. I don't know if there are other places with this kind of effect. edg

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo, Kobolds, Aliens, and Saw

    What about the small headhunters from The Mummy Returns? When it was one of them, they screamed and ran. When it was a group, they were fearless. Perhaps (blow) darts with a weak poison? They attack a lot and will a) eventually hit and b) eventually a character will fail a save. Not a lot...

    The Sarah Conner Chronicles

    Some spoilers on the pilot I am not sure what to think. I like Summer Glau (Firefly forever!) and would watch it for her. I am also curious about the show itself. What I didn't like . . . I figured it would be them running but the ending did catch me off guard. However, the...
