    How To: Create your own Tact-tiles

    My local walmart sells gridded Foamboard sheets at 2 for ~$10. They have a light 1/2 inch grid on them but I didn't like the price point myself. Of course it is much more convienent and you can still get 6 tiles per sheet, so I guess 12 tiles for $10 is not a bad trade off, I was just trying...

    How To: Create your own Tact-tiles

    I prefer to have something that resembles actual miniatures, not just tokens or coins. I'm trying to determine a good material to make them out of and a means of "mass producing" them so that anyone could create their own miniatures and do so quickly and easily. Perhaps wax or Styrofoam of...

    Do You Build As You Go?

    I build my characters for the moment, and then as the game progresses, I will tweak them with a little of this and a little of that till I end up with something I like.

    How To: Create your own Tact-tiles

    Have you been wanting a set of those spiffy looking Tact-tiles, but been unable to afford them, been unable to find someone willing to part with their's? Why not build your own? Recently I fabricated some tactical tiles of my own, since the official Tact-Tiles are not being produced at this...

    Removing yourself from a gaming group

    Wow! do you also say "lets just be friends" or perhaps "We should see other groups" as well? Talk about being harsh :)

    Ignorance on the web

    If you check the date on the article it was written and posted in January of 2004. So yes its out of date. But I'm always amazed at the amount of ignorance that some, not all, "tolerant" church going people have. They refuse to properly learn of something before passing judgment on it. I say...

    DMing burnout

    I will reiterate what others have said here; If you want to continue gaming have sessions further apart. If you need a break from all gaming then take a hiatus for a few weeks/months/years, whatever you need Try other games, although I suggest Munchkin as a great alternative to your normal...

    How did RPGs grab you?

    The fact it was Devil Worshiping got me. MUHAHAHAHA :D In all seriousness it began when I was a kid reading the "choose your path" books and my cousin introduced me to Vampires and Werewolf. From there I went to D&D and Palladium.

    Kicking out a player: share your stories/advice

    Tell the group at the end of a gaming session that you can't handle all the characters and have them all write a name on a sheet of paper and place it in the hat, miraculously that player's name will be the only one written and then you can burn the character sheet and tell them, "The group has...

    Parents Neglect - D&D named.....

    Thanks to the Southern Baptist Convention telling everyone that it was demon worshiping and the greatest propaganda movie to come out of the eighties Mazes and Monsters. To this day many people, including most of my family, still view D&D in a horrible light.

    Weapon Damage

    So I was just thinking, is there a reason why weapon damage is variable? After all if you are shot with 9mm hand gun it will cause the same amount of damage every time, it really depends on where the round hits you as to how life threatening it is. So wouldn't you be able to reflect this...

    New D&D Spinner Rack

    check with an employee at your local B&N, I know that is some places they have placed all the RPG books behind the front counter to help prevent theft of the product, which is apparently rampant in some parts of the country.

    New D&D Spinner Rack

    Perhaps a better way to encourage and entice new players would be to have these large chain stores such as B&N host Game days where they invite in experienced gamers and the general public in to do some gaming in the stores. Set up tables and chairs for them in the middle hall near the RPG...

    New D&D Spinner Rack

    I'm sorry to say that a "fancy" rack is not going to make me want to buy more gaming material. Good material makes me want to buy more. I'm sure the spin rack, if placed properly in the stores, will draw more people's attention to the books and may even entice a few people ont eh fence about...
