    Campaign Setting List/Schedule?

    That must have been what I remember. I know that I read about FR, DL, and Ravenloft. I read it on the interweb, so it must be true!;)

    Campaign Setting List/Schedule?

    OK, my Google-Fu is weak. When 4E came out, I seem to remember a list somewhere with the campaign settings that were scheduled for print, and the order in which they would be released. Am I imagining this, or could somebody point me to the info if it exists? I remember FR being scheduled for...

    12 Tact-Tiles Sold for $360!

    Zoinks! Maybe I should put mine on the market. I got some of the last ones, after they changed the grid lines to a light gray and made the 5' square indicators dashed lines. I wonder if that makes them more desirable? I don't use mine anymore, since I have to travel to play I switched to...

    Speeding up Gameplay in 4E

    The problem I have with pre-mapping is that I only have the one flip-mat. I will look into getting one of the graph paper pads at my friendly local office supply store. As far as what the players are looking for versus what I'm looking for, it's a bit complex. These guys want to role play...

    Speeding up Gameplay in 4E

    This isn't a 4E bash thread, but I do need some help keeping my game alive. My main problem as the DM is the speed of play. Too often I find myself stopping the game to draw out a combat map at the beginning of an encounter. It really drops us all out of the moment when I have to whip out the...

    Looking For a New "Non-Fantasy" Ruleset

    OK. You folks have done your job too well. I have looked over the free/lite rules of True20, Savage Worlds, Gurps, and Unisystem. Now I really don't know which system to try.;) I like the look of Savage Worlds, but I am fairly familiar with Mutants and Masterminds so True20 looks pretty good...

    Looking For a New "Non-Fantasy" Ruleset

    Thanks for the replies. I'm at work right now so I have to be brief until I can get home. I hadn't even considered Unisystem, just because it didn't cross my mind. I'll have to look into it. Can somebody update me on the state of HERO system? When I played Champions back in the day we found...

    Looking For a New "Non-Fantasy" Ruleset

    I finally have a gaming group for 4E, and we're really enjoying it so far. That's fine for right now, but I'm looking for a system that will let me run other types of campaigns. The main campaign I want to create right now is in the spirit of Alternity, Traveller, and the video game Mass...

    Death of the LGS

    I buy everything I can get at my FLGS. I want to support it as much as possible because it's the only game store within about 40 minutes of my town. I admit that I was an Amazon/Wal-Mart buyer for 3.0 and 3.5. My FLGS didn't exist yet, and I really did not have the money to drive to the other...

    I Converted a Grognard Today!

    I DMed my first 4E adventure today after a very long hiatus from DMing in ANY game sytem. I was rusty for sure (just couldn't get as organized as I like to be), and not a soul at the table had played a 4E game before. I ran an adventure of my own design, and two of the grognards (I mean it in...

    Tac-Tiles: Gone for good?

    I seem to remember a post on the B-C products website shortly after I bought my set that said that one of the vendors that they had to use in the production process had gone under and they could not produce any more tiles until they found another supplier/vendor. I got one of the later sets...

    4e D&D GSL Live

    Can't wait till Necromancer Games and some of my other favs get squared away and start releasing some 4E stuff! Good times. :)

    How were you first introduced to D&D?

    I was introduced to D&D in the early eighties by a friend from my church. He told me about this cool game that his dad played with his whole family where they pretended to be warriors and wizards and such. He hooked me by telling me about some of the adventures his character had been through...

    How to get a lot of minis on the cheap?

    Another vote for Fiery Dragon. I have Counter Collection Digital v.2.0 and it has everything I've ever needed so far. The M.S.R.P was $29.95 when I got it, but you can keep printing counters over and over again. You can also re-size the counters for different sized creatures. Now you can...

    What Do You Do to Support Your FLGS?

    Another thread about the questionable service at a LGS started me to thinking. Do you do anything extra to support your FLGS if you have one? If you are an owner, do you have customers that go above and beyond to help ensure your success? Does anybody volunteer to run demo games or referee...

    FLGS sucks

    I only have one option for buying gaming stuff in person in my area. I have to drive around 45 minutes to Lexington to go to any other stores. There is a store that I like in Lexington called the Rusty Scabbard. They have a wide variety of stuff, and the people working there always ask if...

    D&D 4E Heavy Concrete Data on 4e's Skill Challenge System (long, lots of tables)

    I appreciate the work you've done on this. I agree that the skill challenge system has some issues that would cause problems for an inexperienced DM. I feel that more veteran DMs would "adjust on the fly" to make the system more appropriate during play. The question I have about all of this...

    Trying to Remember a Company Name

    Thanks for the responses. I guess I'll have to cruise the vendor hall and find the kind of bag I'm looking for. I think "the gamers bag" is the company I was trying to remember. @Thunderfoot: I'd appreciate any info you can give me on possible vendors. I want to cover quite a bit of ground...

    Trying to Remember a Company Name

    I'm making my "things I'm going to buy at GenCon" list, and I can't remember the name of a dice bag company I'm interested in. I remember that they made dice bags that I think were called "bags of holding". They sort of folded out when opened and held an impressive amount of dice. I really...
