    [4e] Combat Tracker Utility

    (cross-posted from RPG.net) I've been running a 4e game for a while now, and I use my laptop as my GM screen. As such, I've spent a decent amount of time examining the various digital assistant offerings out there. I've mainly been using Virtual Combat Cards, MasterPlan, and OneNote to do...

    [OT] Nigel Findley In Memoriam

    I was chatting with a friend about the recent surge of WizKids popularity, the Shadowrun clicky-game, and he reminded me of something: A moment of silence, please, for the late, great Nigel Findley. He is greatly missed.

    Microsoft Buying Vivendi (Blizzard)?!?!?!

    If the news is to be believed, apparently Microsoft is working on buying Vivendi Universal. (see www.slashdot.org) That means, you might see the next Diablo, Warcraft, and Starcraft on the X-Box ONLY. Ugh....I hate micro$oft.... If Blizzard gets eaten by the beast, I guess I'll have to look...

    I Miss Boxed Sets

    With the proliferation of digital color printing, there's some really nice looking books hitting the shelves nowadays. Hardcovers, full color, gloss pages.... Still, I don't think they compare to the old boxed sets. I want a big sealed box with a bunch of books, maps, dice, counters, posters...

    Threadkiller Lives!!!

    How dare you lock the Threadkiller thread, and claim it's a hivemind thread??!! It came from general discussion, for crying out loud! It has nothing to do with those pitiful hivemind threads. Lock them instead! It must live on! In perpetuity... forever.....

    Elements of Magic Comments

    Great work people! A truly superb product. I'm eagerly looking forward to putting this to use in my campaign. A few comments, though: I'm still puzzling what to do about the cleric. I read the new review of the work, plus comments, and noticed the suggestion that a cleric merely be a...

    Tron d20?

    Tron was always one of my favorite movies. I remember re-painting a frisbee to look like one of the data disks when I was a kid. I might still have it around somewhere. Anyway, here's an interview with the creator of the original: http://aintitcool.com/ Hey, here's an idea....how about a...

    I Will Not Die!

    Everyone, at one time or another, has had or seen one. Wins that defy description. Victories where your character should have been charcoal/spackle/gibbits/dust/etc, but somehow, either through luck, unbelievable cunning, or sheer determination you not only managed to survive, but to come out...

    BIG! nasties

    What's the nastiest CR50 monster you can put together? I'm assuming the use of the Epic Level handbook. Personally, I'm thinking a Paragon(+12) Half-Red Dragon(+2) Tarrasque(CR20) with 20 levels of barbarian, and 6 levels of fighter would give just about anyone a run for their money, no...

    [GM's] How much should you play?

    I've been gaming for WAY too many years now, and it almost always seems that I wind up as the GM. Sometimes it's because I have a cool idea I want to try. Other times, I'm the only one around here willing to run anything. Every so often, I'm the only GM people are willing to play under...

    [Epic] New Prestige Class

    Based upon material cobbled from the Epic Level M:tG character posted on the WotC boards, I've put together the following epic-level prestige class, which should be perfectly in line with the power level examplified in the WotC column. I know it's not complete, and I have yet to describe the...

    [OT] Bid For Power is OUT!!!!

    For those of you who are dragon ball z fans, the bid for power mod for quake3 is finally out. Unfortunately, they were forced to change the characters because of copyright issues, but you can pretty much tell who is who. The gameplay is VERY fast, furious, and high-flying, just like the tv...
