    How big is a Con Table?

    I work in a convention center. Our round tables come in 72" (6' -- seats 10) and 60" (5' -- seats 8). I would venture to guess that you're looking at a 5' table at the very largest, 6' doesn't sound that big, but in a small room it is really huge, and you'd have a hard time reaching the center...

    Gamer commisions a 'tavern' for his gaming building.

    Normally i just lurk, but if you're looking for barrels and have the money, Jack Daniels sells their used ones, and furniture made from them, in their online store here: http://lynchburgstore.summitmg.com/jdc/dept.asp?dept_id=7100 When I was still working in the theatre industry we bought a...

    Beautiful Knives...and more?

    My father collects knives, and while he stuck to mainly pocketknives, I used to leaf through his catalogs as a kid. I tend to remember those knives because they were some of the first fantasy knives that Mr. Hibben (who also designed the Rambo knives, as well as the wasp knife on the cover of...

    Beautiful Knives...and more?

    The knives you are talking about were called the silver shadow and the double shadow, designed by Gil Hibben, pictures can be found on his website: here I'm not certain if they are still in production, but knowing the names should make them easier to find through ebay or craigslist. Smackfish

    Why Worldbuilding is Bad

    Probably true, and seems to be where the fundamental disconnect in this whole dicussion lies. I would suppose that it's because many people, when writing their setting, call what they are doing world building. It rolls off the tongue better, and to them, more accurately describes what they are...

    Why Worldbuilding is Bad

    Ok I don't post very often here, and the few times I have, I've tried my best to be respectful and polite and still have somehow rubbed people the wrong way, so I apologize in advance if I offend anyone. I assure you it is not my intention to do so. :) I've been following this thread from...

    Kitten Kaboodle

    That's great!! I actually found my cat while working backstage at the Miss Texas Pageant 2 years ago. I was using the restroom and she crawled in through the window, looked me in the face and meowed once. After washing my hands I picked her up and she started purring. As it turns out, she had...

    I hate monks

    Oh no, of course not, i would never presume to present it as such. I'm not even sure which side of the question I'm on, The only thing I was basing out of my own experiencewas that i've seen a lot of people take the monk out. That having been said, I understand why, but it's hard to explain...

    I hate monks

    Now this i can answer, but before i do, let me make the caveat that I'm not arguing that the monk should not be in the PHB, or even in my game with some changed flavor. I can however see the point that's trying to be made in opposition to the above quoted text, and it's pretty simple: Some...

    The Paladin killed someone...what to do?

    Let me preface what I'm about to say with a quick disclaimer: I'm not taking sides as to whether what the paladin did in this case was right or wrong for a paladin, or whether there should be a punishment or what the punishment should be. That having been said, unless I misread the OP, there's...

    Need Best Man instructions

    This cannot be stressed enough, and it is what I was tught to be the main job of the best man. You run interference for the wedding party, especially the groom, who will likely be the most nervous person at the wedding, including the bride, who by that point is usually very calm for some...

    Dubious Information Never thought my first post would be about dining ettiquette :) I seem to remember from my days of waiting tables that another difference between American Style and Continental Style is the placement of the left hand when not in use. In American Style, it is placed in...
