"Buzzards gotta eat, same as worms." (The outlaw) Josey Wales.;) Depends entirely on the situation. If there's time and need to dispose of bodies my groups have usually been pretty pragmatic about the method. At sea we "return them to the sea", but in most settings it's burial or bonfire...

I watched it with my wife and 6 year old son. They enjoyed it a bit more than I did, but I think I went in to the movie after having a frustrating morning and just couldn't bet into the right mood. One question for those who may know. Why did the Knave of Hearts walk with such a halting gait...

The last paragraph of the post on your blog is, without a doubt, the funniest thing I have read all day.:D While my experience is a bit different from yours, I think your explanation of your feelings was very clear and succinct. So, what system will you be using after you complete your 4E run?

I think the map they're using in the Robot Chicken game is one of the Dungeons and Dragons branded wet erase mats. They are almost the exact same thing as a Chessex Battlemat. I use a Chessex mat along with DragonTiles printable tiles and EZ Dungeons 3D paper foldups from Fat Dragon Games...

I consider myself to be fairly mature both in terms of age and attitude, but I still get bored if I'm sitting at a table playing a cooperative game and end up having nothing at all to contribute for very long. 15 to 20 minutes is not that big a deal, but I'll probably start to get bored after...

Battletech has a boxed basic set that is a lead in to the tournament rule book. The original boxed sets for BT in the 80's and 90's were stand alone systems, but in the last few years Fanpro/Catalyst have created a boxed set that contains the basics, which is expanded by their hardback rule...

Thanks. That sounds like another product I'll be buying. Did they have a release date for the DT Master sets?

Once again that seems to be part of the article I can't see. Tell me more of these Dungeon Tiles Master sets. I don't have any original because the ones I wanted, once I found out about them, were already out of print.

Sweet, thanks! I agree it really hearkens back to the old red box style. I'll probably get it just to go with my original boxed sets.

It tells me I have to subscribe to see the rest of the article. I'm guessing the picture you guys are talking about is the part I can't see.:.-(

I dislike guns in D&D for the same reasons I dislike tophats and spats in D&D. It has nothing to do with balance of power for me, it has everything to do with breaking the mental images I have of my campaigns. The Freeport stuff doesn't bother me in the least, but it isn't found in my campaign...

Thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for. For some reason my brain didn't connect "customizing" with "advancing" when I looked through the index.:o

I'm putting together a campaign after some time away from 4E, and I plan to use certain humanoids as common antagonists. I have skimmed my books to see where the procedure for advancing monsters might be, but I can't seem to find it. How do I make Orcs or Hobgoblins that can present an...

I never read the comic, but the second episode (the one on the airliner) led me to think he was more like an assassin for hire than a government sponsered operative. I could be totally off base on that, but they seemed to be comparing his past to the killers on the airliner.

I am primarily looking for an RPG that let's me escape reality. My real life job gives me all the "real world" conflicts and angst that I care to have. I prefer RPGs that bear little resemblance to my real life, so I don't really enjoy modern based games or games with a heavy focus on military...

I know you folks are right about using the books I have and not worrying about the newest release, it's just hard to see/hear about cool new "paradigm X" here and around the shop and feel that I'm missing something. The funny thing is that I didn't have this problem with earlier editions. When...

I don't know for sure. Back in the olden days when I had more disposable income I was a community supporter, and when my subscription/account expired the custom title never went away.

So I tried 4E when it released, and my experiences weren't great. I don't plame the sytem for the results because there were several factors that made the game fall flat. I was trying to DM with a new system after a long hiatus, the group was a mix of veteran 3.X gamers and absolute...

I agree with the idea that experience does not necessarily equal skill, and that skill in the context of gaming is open to interpretation. When I tried 4E for the first time, one of the guys at the table was a very skilled 3.5E and Magic the Gathering player. He really ruined the game for me...

Scale model trains hands down in just about any category versus PnP RPGs. If you factor in computer and console games, then trains get left way behind. There are many manufacturers of trains and train accessories and the products range in price from fairly inexpensive to "whoa nelly!" It is...
