    How many iPodders we got here?

    Another question for the 'podders out there: how many of you are running out of space on your 20GB or 30GB iPods?

    Cardstock Dungeons

    By the way, some people swear by what's called a "safety ruler", which has a groove down the length in which your fingers rest - keeping them out of harms way. Office Max used to carry a Helix brand metal safety ruler (product # 32046), but I can't find it on the Office Max website anymore.

    Cardstock Dungeons

    Not to mention: "How to make blood stains blend in with the scenery". :D

    Cardstock Dungeons

    For comparison, you may want to have a look at WWG's "Hilltop Encounter" campsite, one half of their Encounter Set. Just to see the difefrence in graphics quality...

    What do Enworlders do in real life?

    Can you even *get* a minor in stem-cell research? :confused: Seems to me that'd be more likely something for a graduate research assistant. (Then again... give it another coupe of years...)

    What do Enworlders do in real life?

    Just curious - what sort of things are you counting, and who are you doing this for? Is this stuff like "how often do people smoke cigarettes on TV?"

    A killer puzzle that makes me want to pull my hair out.

    Likewise, there's few D&D puzzles that cannot be solved using an adamantine heavy pick... (And if the DM wants to cheat me out of my "solution" by making all the doors and walls out of some special materials or with magical reinforcements, I'll make it a point to come back to that dungeon with...

    A killer puzzle that makes me want to pull my hair out.

    Sure. But I bet I could find at least one of those within fairly short order, and I'm an atheist who hasn't really opened a bible for the past two decades or so. Either way, if the thought had occured to him, he might have discovered the index in the process... Doesn't matter really. Even if it...

    How many iPodders we got here?

    I've tried that, but I kept crashing my car. :heh: Just kidding... I have gotten into a habit of listening to books on tape (ok, CD) from the library during my commute - no iPod needed for that. My partner is a heavy iTunes.iPod user though. She's teaching these yoga + dance classes, and...

    What do Enworlders do in real life?

    Scientist at a National Laboratory. Currently putting together my own research team (know any good postdocs in comparative genomics?), and serving as acting deputy division leader. I also spent longer in grad school than anyone else I know :lol:

    MERGED COMMUNITY SUPPORTER ACCOUNT THREADS

    Ditto. (Wait... does that mean Alenda has *two* accounts now? :confused: ;) )

    Stella Awards

    I rest my case. :D

    Stella Awards

    Yeah, I just figured it was worth spelling out that those were fakes, because not everyone is going to actually follow the link (or even look at the spoiler, for that matter). Plus it was nice to contrast the "fake" Stella awards list with the real one - which is a lot more reasonable. True...

    Cardstock Dungeons

    It's a good deal of work, but mainly because it's such a large model (with lots of optional props to add to it as well). Technically, it's not really all that complicated though. Disclaimer: I haven't actually *finished* mine yet, so other people may be able to give you a more detailed answer...

    A killer puzzle that makes me want to pull my hair out.

    I agree. Personally, I thought this was a trivially easy puzzle - I figured it out as soon as you mentioned the bibles. And I'm a little puzzled by the fact that you didn't seem to try link the words to the actual books (whether by looking them up in an index, or searching for passages you...

    ‘Commander’ - a cover preview

    Looks great. The hair is much improved, although it couldd still use a lot more shadows as well - you mainly added highlights, it seems. I would still try to do something about that skinny arm, and see if you can make those troops in the background stand out just a little more. I am somewhat...

    Cardstock Dungeons

    Storage is of course a common issue for all types of 3D terrain, whether you're talking about cardstock, resin, plaster, or scratch-built (probably *least* so for resin - because the pieces are so damned expensive that few people can afford to buy enough for storage to become a problem ;)). The...

    ENGS - The "Frukathka Bug"

    AFAIK, that's still the message from his win last week. But yes, the systems seems well and truly broken. I think I heard somebody mention that was Fru's 6th win out of 17, or somesuch. That's not just somewhat unlikely, that's damn near impossible! The good news: last I heard they were...

    ‘Commander’ - a cover preview

    I couldn't see this at first, but Storn is right. For me, it's mainly that outstretched arm that seems to skinny. If you made it, say, 50% thicker / more muscular, I think that alone would make him seem much more dwarfish. Great stuff, though! Love the style, and it's always nice to see the...

    Creatures-By-Poll: Fey #5 (recovery effort)

    Monkish, shmonkish... I think there's a good consensus against the kung-fu angle James originally suggested, and I don't see anyone else clamoring for them to be "monkish in attitude" either. Maybe they just see the afterlife as part of the natural order of things, and the fabric between the...
