I now have two openings in “Heirs of Turucambi”, my 3.5e undersea chat-based game, run Sunday nights via IRC from 8pm-11pm Eastern. New PCs begin with 61,000 XP and must have a natural swim speed as well as the ability to breathe underwater without the use of magic. I allow the use of all WotC...

In last week’s game (06/30/13) the party explored the depths of the Azure Sea, having traveled from the Solnor Ocean within a saltwater lake held aloft upon a floating island fashioned from a cloud. Within the waters, they sought the whereabouts of the undersea fortress of Drawmij, reportedly...

When I was in high school, I remember reading an article in the newspaper (dead-tree edition), regarding abandoned houses for sale on the Outer Banks of NC. They needed a great deal of repair and had no utilities. “That would be cool”, I thought. When I was in college, I traveled to Belize...

Atchinson Cave Storage Facility - starting bid at $110,000 More info Here and Here Loads of pictures in This PDF (large file) I was reminded of the guy who bought a missile silo then planned to turn the space into condos for doomsday preppers to the tune of $2 million/unit. And yes, they sold out!

I recently posted HERE about how many hours a week I “work” on my gaming hobby. I also mentioned that I have a wife, 7 kids, job, hobby farm, and a few hundred gallons in saltwater aquariums to fill up the rest of my time when I am not gaming. Did I mention that my last face-to-face session of...

Apparently, I will be moving my tanks to a large unfinished side of my basement before Spring. The finished portion of the basement has been claimed by my wife, for use as a photo studio. Here's a quick diagram: My tanks are a 240g (96"x24"), 155g (72"x24"), 72g (48"x18"), cylindrical 70g...

With a focus on simplicity and modularity, I doubt we'll see the bard in the 5e Players Handbook (unless of course the bard reverts to 1e and becomes a fighter/thief/bard(druid) ). That being said, I've always wanted to see a bard variant that was focussed entirely on the magics of music. A...

The ePawn Arena was shown at CES. At an estimated $400, it's a bit extreme.. but it's still a step in the right direction.

I have occasionally posted undersea expositions in the General Forum and in the Gamers Seeking Gamers Forum. Given that my current campaign uses the 3.5e ruleset in the World of Greyhawk and draws heavily from Stormwrack, I thought I would garner input from a more focussed forum. The...

I saw this article about an iPad game that recognizes physical game pieces on the touchscreen. I could not help but think of D&D minis on a battlemat. iPawn

inspired by the Which Systems are you playing or have played in the last year? thread, I began to wonder just how many gaming systems the average gamer explored over the course of a year's time. Apparently I am the exception to the rule. Since 3.x was released, I have only run that system. Mind...

I installed 10.7 this morning and have been slowly acclimating to the new changes. Thus far, observances are: ‎- The disappearing scroll bar worried me, but you can disable it in System Preferences. - PowerPC apps will not work in Lion, so I lost Word (my copy was 2-3 versions old) - Safari...

Earlier today, I was reading about caterpillar fungus : "The fungus, Ophiocordyceps sinensis, takes over the bodies of caterpillar larvae then shoots up like finger-size blades of grass out of the dead insects' heads... Known as yartsa gunbu—or "summer grass winter worm"—by Chinese...

Alluria Publishing caught my eye with Cerulean Seas, a 300-page undersea supplement for Pathfinder. They caught my eye enough that I downloaded the Pathfinder Core Rulebook and four other Pathfinder PDFs onto my iPad. Now I find myself wondering if there is enough interest to even attempt a...

I was trying to remember the name of the local gaming store, which I have not visited since 4e was released. A quick search in Google revealed these in my area: D&D Appliance Repair D&D Automotive D&D Delivery Service Oh yeah... the name of the place was "The Castle".

Syfy aired the final 5 episodes of Caprica, last night (now available on iTunes). I admit that I feel somewhat cheated. I do not feel cheated that the series was cancelled. In that, I am disappointed. I feel cheated by seeing the final minutes of the final episode. They were...outstanding...
