I have to admit, it just worked! I plugged it in, turned it on, and I could surf the web! I did have one problem which took me a couple of weeks to figure out, that was getting the wireless to connect to my network instead of my neighbour's. I forgot that I had my D-Link router running in...

I'm no longer a "wannabe", I'm an official newbie!! :) I picked up a 17" Intel iMac a couple of months ago.

I've only been to GenCon once, 2002, the last year in Milwaukee. To answer your first question, is it worth $1000, I would have to say yes. I went with two friends, and we had a great time. Went to the Safe House a couple of times, went to a nice brew pub, and visited a dingy bar with cheap...

Yes. For me, I feel an obligation to not support people, companies, or organisations whose actions or words I find to be unethical or immoral. Luckily, I have found very few people in the RPG industry whose comments have offended me to the point where I have boycotted their work. In fact...

I would love to buy PDF versions of Dungeon, but at a better price than what Paizo has them listed on their web-site ($5 vs $7 for print copies). For $3, I can see buying a lot of PDFs.

No. I would love to go back to the meld of AD&D and 2E that I played for many years. Conceptually, I like the feats and skills of 3.x, but I find the game gets bogged down with too many rules. Combat is oftem tedious instead of exciting, and creating a 10th level character takes me a couple...

It's difficult to get the group together due to conflicting schedules. Also, there isn't a choice that covers household stuff. Cleaning up, washing cars, grocery shopping, paying bills, etc, etc. This stuff usually gets put off until the weekend so I cannot simply leave it all to my wife! And...

16 years with the Canada Revenue Agency, come October. I am supposed to be chasing down debtors, but instead I was webmaster for our office intranet for 5.5 years, and am currently on an assignment until September doing something that resembles Systems Analyst/Project Manager/Report Writer.

Without a doubt, yes. I will do my best to avoid purchasing product from people I think are jerks. I apply this to non-gaming purchases at bricks & mortar stores as well. I don't necessarily buy from someone I think is nice, just because they are nice. But I will be predisposed to buy from...

It's a good day to die.

It could be the NTDETECT.COM file on your CD is corrupt. Or the BIOS on your laptop might need to be set so the CD-ROM boots before the hard drive?

You have to remember that the show ran while the Vietnam War was still fresh in people's minds so Alda pushing the anti-war side agenda was topical and important. As for your friends, I find it hard to believe that they are insulted by the behaviour of characters on a sit-com. It's not like it...

I've used AVG on 2 PCs for the past couple of years and have been quite happy with it. I agree with the comments about Norton, a good anti-virus engine that has gone the path of bloat.

Just finished Goodman Games' Dungeon Crawl Classics 3, The Mysterious Tower. Prior to that were an adventure and a side trek from Dungeon. Currently in the middle of J D Wiker's Depths of Rage from an old Dungeon. All of the modules are modified from the original to fit into my "low to...

Never even heard a player contemplate counterspell, let alone use it. I think the couterspell mechanic is way too clunky. Instead of having to have the exact spell memorised, perhaps there should simply be a spell family called Counterspell, that can be spontaneously cast, at each spell level...

I'm glad to see that, so far. most voters are willing to give the DM the benefit of the doubt. I have experienced the worst case scenario as a player, when the DM introduced an NPC who was double the level of the PCs, and who "had" to accompany the group on their quest. The game became quite...

Once again I will date myself, but mapping is a big part of the game to me! When I play, I map just about everything, dungeons, caverns, large buidlings, even sketches of overland travel. I still have maps from games that I played 20+ years ago! When I DM, I don't force the players to map...

It's kind of sad how many people are worried about maxing damage or AoE or what have you...a sign of the times, I think. I picked fireballs simply because I have had characters tossing them around for the past 25 years and they have the most opportunity for creating havoc, especially the...

Many of the settings have been important, but Ivoted for Greyhawk which was the first campaign setting in which I played D&D, 25 years ago.

I don't play Star Wars, but if it is anything like D&D, why can't you simply create your own specs for starships?
