I am looking for a way to disable the F8 key on startup to prevent a bypass on limit software. In searching the net, I found that there is a hack for NTLDR but it invalidates the EULA and I have other issues with it. I also found this program NOSafeMode – The LEGAL and ELEGANT way to...

I think I am a reformed junkie. I used to get all of the TSR settings back in the 90s and read them all. But, a decade and a half later, after using few of them, I didn't keep many of them. It's not that they were bad but they weren't fun to move! Then for a while, I did want to create my...

I barely caught my own dog getting into the minis. It survived and I blocked them until I could move things around. So, I got lucky. Definitely feel your pain. Sorry that it happened!

I like the set as well and can't wait until I can use one! My players were less than enthused about that idea. The packaging itself is very nice! And I do like how they seem to be floating in it!

I voted Colossal and that might be pushing it but not by much. I do have a room, which my wife is NEVER getting back, with a total of nine six foot bookshelves, with four of them or so gaming. Not counting minis, which I have a lot of those as well (metal and plastic), I figured I am in the...

Everchanging Book of Names markers and a plexiglas over a grid map. electronic copies of the map that I can mark or annotate in some way to keep notes. OneNote - or any note keeping device, down to pen and paper if needed. Notes of last time and my own campaign notes, which include a good...

This is probably where I am at. Not sure if I could run earlier but I was definitely not happy with the 3E DND rules anymore. If I did play 3E again it would be so house ruled as to look like pre 4E, such as with Book of Nine Swords, reserve feats, etc. which I never got to use in a game.

Not me, and I'm old enough to remember original airings of it. I don't even play WFRP and I still don't think of WKRP.

I can agree in a the general sense that I don't think they have done well with marketing. As I am their target audience, and do buy their stuff, their marketing dollars are wasted trying to let me know about it. I already do. The only proof I can offer is that WotC hasn't done well in...

I think we generally agree. I do agree that I wasn't clear in one point. With regards to the OP, I think this thread has established the walking numbers as the ones in the books, which is ~ 25 miles a day, modified by terrain. I know that when most of the settings came out back in the day...

Umbran - I don't know you but I constantly see/hear Christian Kane because of your icon. That was a trivial fact. With regards to footwear, I agree to some extent. My point is that this would have existed at all times with the classes. If a character was a noble, they would have had the...

I'm not arguing that for the adventurers, this shouldn't be an issue. I, as a DM, wouldn't make it an issue other than mention that they are a bit sore after a long trek or horse ride or whatever they just did that wasn't usual for them. I have had campaigns that took place entirely in a...

No one has mentioned footwear. I spent several weekends at Ren Faires in costume with correct boots. Not rubber bottoms but leather and no padding. OUCH! The first day isn't bad. It's not until that next day that you realize how much it hurts. Modern sneakers are awesome and they would...

As a kid playing DND, alignments were a thing that caused arguments. Each of the other kids playing had an idea of what being an alignment meant but when the DM and player couldn't agree, it caused an argument. The reason we (my particular group) did that was because we tried to make...

I run DND Encounters weekly at my FLGS. This season has seen three new people at my table, with tables up from two when I started to four at times. (five or six per table) I rebooted my Thursday night game, from remote to all local, and that includes one of the new people from the...

I loved the cantrips for that! Cantrips seemed a better way to make a disguise than some spells because you could lighten or darken your skin, grow your hair or cut it if needed and make a lot of minor permanent changes that were much better!

I know that at one game day, there was a group that all had their Pathfinder books out and were going to play it. They seemed to be a group that played at Mayhem but I don't know how often. I have talked to some of the guys from there and they know some groups that are playing 3.x or went to...

Hey! First, I am in Des Moines as well! Do you go to Mayhem? Second, from what I have seen, in our area and in the CR area, is that it seems as if Iowa has a lot of home games that don't leave the home game arena so to speak. What I mean is, that it seems that people start a group, find...

It's been touched on but it's important so I am going to repeat it. The entire O/G/A system is based on rolling low. It's a skill based system, using the ability score + rank in the skill to come up with the ordinary success target number. Further, the average ability score is seven for...

But . . . again, first, an Ordinary success is still a success. The point is that instead of allowing for a penalty of +8 still having a chance of success, the point was that once the penalty is at +5, it's a long shot. At that point, the player and character should realize they need to do...
