Padding my '09 Christmas List. I always throw some boardgames on there. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. I usually head over to BoardGameGeek but there's always just so many! I go for more casual/quick to play and set up games, not so much the war games or ones that take all...

So I guess this area seemed the best place to ask. I'm planning on making some handcrafted dice for myself and to give as gifts for the holidays or birthdays. I figure I can do casino style hard edge dice well enough but I'm not sure how most of the mass-produced wooden dice get that certain...

I haven't played the game in ages. I swore the game off for awhile... it's a long story. A couple of friends who used to play started back into it and sure enough... as if it were a sign I found my cards the other day searching around the storage space. Last set I was into was the one that...

Hey party people! This was going to start as a "Sell Me On" thread but I already put an order in for it. So instead this is more of a "Has Anyone Been Playing This Game?" thread. So, has anyone? I wanna hear about 'em. Did the player-competitiveness work well or is that more of a undertone to...

Hey gang. So this game has been sitting on my shelf for a few years now and I've always been interested in playing. Good things come to those that wait I guess because finally I have some friends who seem not only interested in trying the game out, but actually gung-ho about it! The setting...

Hi gang. For the most part between my computer-savy friends and myself I can answer most computer issues. But I've run into an internet problem and none of my usual help sources can give any headway. So I figured I'd ask the nice people here at ENWorld. Basically I'm trying to access this...

Hi party people. Tried the 14 day trial a couple years back (2006ish) and like any newb on a time limit account, felt overwhelmed but had fun. Anyway a few of my friends and myself picked up EVE again as it was for sale on Steam 50% off at $7 and change. Figured I'd give it the free month at...

Any ENers playing Left 4 Dead? I'm having a complete blast with it. With Fallout 3 being another complete disappointment for me after a string of bad game purchases, Left 4 Dead is a great pick me up! My Steam name is Gray Mauser.

Is there a comprehensive list of what got changed - especially which spells - in the Beta version? I've got a Pathfinder game gearing up and I don't have time to cross reference every single spell for real minor stuff like what I found between the old and new mending spells. Thanks.

Hi, over in another thread Metus asked for some advice looking for a space-themed RPG. A bunch of you suggested the game Traveller. I did a very brief cruise through the net for basic info on the game (it has quite a history as far as I can tell!) but was wondering if others could give me more...

Hi gang. Last time this year I went to Halifax and around Nova Scotia for vacation. This year I'm going to the other corner of the continent and will be in Portland Oregon and Seattle Washington! Seattle being the HQ for WotC theres gotta be some awesome gaming/hobby stores there! Anyone from...

Hi everyone. I was musing over the idea earlier today that when boiled down, a cleric of any deity is in essence the same. Using a generic pantheon for example, why would a cleric of Pelor have the same saves, weapon and armor proficiencies, hit points, skills, spells and unique abilities than...

I know its only been out for two or three days. But has anyone picked up World in Conflict? I got it and I love it. I'm not a big fan of base building in general... so the tactical aspect of the game is right on for me. If anyone out there has it, maybe we can hop on and try teaming up on...

Hi. Me and some friends just saw the movie Shot 'Em Up! the other night. Great times. The idea for somebody to run a 'mindless killfest' with lots of over the top action came up and we're were looking for a good rule-system to use and we found this little free one called Wushu. Seems like the...

I'll be in Nova Scotia for a short vacation. I was wondering if anyone who either lives there or knows the area at all could point me towards any cool LGS's or other such game-focused places to visit. Lemme know, I'm going real soon and would love to get some 'foreign dice' :).

So I'm aware of what's going on with the Dungeon and Dragon mags. I never subscribed though for one reason or another... but I still want them. It was always something I'd put off, "Oh, I'll ask for a subscription for Xmas." that sort of thing. What I really want are those copious amount of...

In a turn of events during the previous game session, the party has fled into the woodlands on the outskirts of a village that has turned hostile towards them. Now, typically I prepare and run sessions that involve time in outdoor environs, there is a overarching order of events that usually...

Hi party people. A couple friends of mine, along with myself were thinking of starting an RPG that was themed off of some old unknown video game called War Along the Mohawk. Basically an RPG set in 17th century America. Ideally we would like a d20 type game since we all know the rules. But I...

Hi gang. I was wondering what racial conflicts existed in the D&D multiverse(s). The two I know of are: Elves vs. Orcs and Mind Flayers vs. Githyanki/zerai. Obviously Celestials vs. Demons/devils/fiends is one, but that is less racial and more alignmental. So does anyone know any more cases of...

I have no idea where this dream came from... and I'm not really sure what to think about it :) I must of ate something funny... I dunno. So, I had one of those dreams that you get right after hitting the snooze alarm and falling back to sleep for 10-15 minutes and waking back up again that I...
