I may be way off base on this, but I don't think OSRIC has a scaling XP system per se. The level of the giant spider is 4. This is a way to determine if the PCs should get XP for defeating the creature. If the PCs are significantly higher level than the spider (DMs discretion) then they...

Thanks for the replies. I think I'll give FedCom a shot and see if it's worth investing in the minis later. I don't own any of the SFB stuff, so I'll be starting at zero with either system. I think I'll have better luck finding opponents with FedCom than SFB, as nobody in my area plays either...

Is there anybody that has had some experience with this game?

I'm interested in getting the EN World community's opinion on the Federation Commander game system. I never played Star Fleet Battles in my youth, because I didn't want to dedicate that much time to a single game session. I didn't have the attention span for a marathon combat sim back then. I...

This is similar to the raised area that we use, but yours is much nicer than the one I put together. Nice setup.:cool:

I don't have a working camera anymore:(, but it sounds like you have a good idea of what I was describing. I would suggest that you rough together something and give it a trial run. If you like the way it works, you can build a nicer version or upgrade the prototype. I haven't gotten around...

I've had success with this: I made a small elevated "table" to sit on top of our game table. It's just a piece of plywood about 2 feet by 3 feet with a five inch tall leg at each corner. This allows the players to spread their books and character sheets on the main table, and we put the maps...

Speaking of "tastes better"... I watched a "making of" the original Conan film where they discussed the fake blood they used. The story goes that they had to add alcohol (vodka) to the mix to keep it from freezing when they filmed the opening cold weather fight scenes, and some of the extras...

I wanted to run an event at my FLGS, but I have never been able to get my shop listed as a venue on Wizards site. Every time I try to add a venue or click the email tab it gives me a page error.:rant: I guess I'll have to use the 800 number and try to get set up for some other event.

I picked it up today on the way home from work, so I haven't had a chance to go through much of it yet. I like the art for the most part, and I think the DM advice sections will be useful to me. I was a little concerned when I read that some of the information is reprinted from DDI articles...

My experience has been that when someone plays a "stereotypical" dwarf, halfling, or half-orc; people pretty much accept it and support that play. When someone plays an elf in the "stereotypical" fashion, there is a level of annoyance in other players that you don't often see with the other...

I loved The Last Unicorn, particularly the part with the menagerie of fantasy creatures. Good call.

Good call on Ladyhawke and Legend, Klaus. What about The Princess Bride?

+1 to all that Oni listed! Plus these: The Beastmaster The Sword and the Sorcerer (I wouldn't call it "good", but...)

Thanks pogre! That's exactly the information I was looking for. I'll be ordering my first two molds tomorrow. I can't wait to use this stuff in a game. I'll keep it a secret from my players until I have completed a room or two. I usually cover some pre-constructed Fat Dragon terrain...

For those who use Hirst Arts and Dwarven Forge, how do you deal with the half square next to the walls? For example, if I have a hallway that is three squares in width, and the walls are 1/2 inch thick, that leaves a usable width of 2 inches, but its 1 full square and two half squares right...

I am a big fan of the Fat Dragon E-Z Dungeons. I don't have a regular group right now, so when I get in the mood for a D&D fix I just head to the basement and start putting together some cardstock magic! The big drawback is portability. The few times I've tried to take stuff to an "away"...

One of the very few times I played a FR game my party was saved by this uber-awesome good aligned drow ranger.;) It was a published module for 2E, but I do not recall the name. Maybe something about a tower? Anyway, my low level party was attacked by wolves, and we were having a hard time...

I watched it Monday night, and noticed the oversized D20 and what I am positive was a DDM mini on the table in front of young Barney. If I still have it on DVR I'm pretty sure I can ID the mini more accurately after I get home.
