    D&D General How old are you?

    I said that I liked the color blue. Then you said I hated the color red. This will be my last response to you.

    D&D General How old are you?

    Nope, you've completely misunderstood what I've said. Don't try to find a fight that doesn't exist.

    D&D General How old are you?

    I get a lot of disagreement from younger gamers on some topics. It's not that their opinions are wrong, they are correct for what they have experienced. But it's hard to explain sometimes that - what interests you in gaming will evolve over time. At 26, you are probably starting to see...

    D&D General How old are you?

    I know of a retired military officer who games with folks back where I grew up. He started with White Box d&d and now their group plays 5E. And if that shocks you, check out your local wargame convention. The large number of gamers on walking canes and in wheel chairs might surprise you.

    D&D General How old are you?

    I'm in my early 50's. Started playing in 1986 with 1E Ad&d. I often wonder what happened to the guys who introduced me to gaming back then during my highschool's homeroom. Those same guys introduced me to Fritz Leiber. Thanks fellows!

    Do you transport them on a metal plate? Or is this just for home use?

    Types of Foam for Miniature Storage & Transport

    Hi gamers. This question is for folks who've tried to retard paint from rubbing-off or chipping on their painted miniatures. I have a fair number of metal figures and a few that are plastic or resin. It was a lot of work to paint some of those beloved miniatures. But over time I've noticed...

    D&D General How old are you?

    This poll made me think about how much more fun it would be if the poll asked, How Old Are Most Gamers? Or combine that with the first question. I wonder if most people in age-range X would assume most gamers are their own age?

    Where Do They Get Their Money, Part One

    Nice article and some interesting comments as well. Morrus, I have a fantasy coin generator too. It's based on the old Dragon Magazine article Coins in a Coffer. It was fun to make! https://www.findgamers.us/coins-in-a-coffer

    Who knows PHP?

    I'd like to second this! It's the most frustrating thing in the world to have finally found someone with your exact problem - but they didn't post a solution. Too bad there aren't more programming related places to hang out for developers specific to tabletop gaming. I only know of one...

    Who knows PHP?

    @Morrus Will you post a link to your completed tool? I do PHP as well, this is a tool of mine. I'm sure you'll recognize this Fantasy Coin Calculator from an old Dragon Magazine article. Which brings up a question of my own, have there been any newer articles like Coins in a Coffer? I...

    Any love for shadow of the demon lord?

    I've run a couple of mini campaigns with SotDL. The system is pretty cool but yea, the world is a bit too much for me as well. Our group loved how fast it played and no one had anything negative to say about the system. Oh, everybody enjoys their personal tweaks here and there. But that's...

    Lord of the Rings TV Show Reboot

    Well that's too bad. I would have preferred that Netflix had won the bidding war for that show. Amazon might have a lot of prime users because they love the fast shipping but their streaming service is pretty bad. The interface is confusing and captions are terrible. It's as though they...

    System like Battletech/Mechwarrior for easy tactical RPG

    How can I create a "Groundhog Day" village?

    I'm sure others have considered this but a Groundhog Town could be a great way to start a campaign. Assume the new characters have come to this town within the same day or so, they realize the day is repeating and only certain people can perceive the loop. Those people would be the player...

    How big's the RPG market?

    Morrus, Thanks, that explains quite a bit.

    How big's the RPG market?

    Individual miniatures or miniatures games? @Morrus, In regards to Miniatures, does this refer to individual miniature sales from manufacturers or miniatures games?
