    Best Place to Build a Fake 1920's Town?

    I'm in the mood to create a 1920's-era small town to be used for a wide variety of games; pulp, Cthulhu, Prohibition mob wars, etc... I hate making one from scratch because I don't seem to get the versimilitude I'm looking for in terms of where things should be or street sizes, etc.. So I've...

    I finally got a new job!

    I've been on a high all week and it just keeps getting better! I've worked as a restaurant manager for all of my post college career and hated a lot of the time I've done it. I finally stopped making excuses and went to law school several years ago and graduated last May. I kept my old job...

    Strategy game advice for a novice

    Hello, all: I have just recently become interested in the possibility of buying some strategy pc games, but I am a complete novice. After looking through Best Buy the other day, two titles look kind of interesting. The first is "Sins of a Solar Empire", sort of Age of Empires in outer space...

    Ha! I've got Aces & Eights!

    And it's gorgeous. I'm just working my way through the chapter on "Cattle Ranching", and it's pretty neat. Lots of information about real world cattle ranching and driving cattle to market. They even have a section describing brands and a diagram of what kinds of brands and where they are...

    Oops! I think I killed rpg.net

    It's true! Last night I was hitting the post button, and rpg.net went off the net. It's still out; at least for me.

    [Iron Kingdoms] Where is the Alchemist class?

    I had some reading time during Thanksgiving, so I thought I'd tear into my Iron Kingdoms books since I haven't looked at them in a long time. While reading, I noticed that I don't see where the Alchemist class is, either as a PC or NPC class. It's mentioned on page 9 of the World Guide as an...

    A question about swords

    I've read a lot of fantasy and sword & sorcery books over the years and I've never seen this issue really addressed all that much. We've all read the description of the sword/katana/sharp pointy stick being honed to a razor sharp edge. So, what happens the first time you strike something hard...

    What skill levels would academics have?

    I'm looking for a rule of thumb for creating npcs or characters who are professors at the college or university level. What skill levels in their field would be appropriate? Not only for an average, run-of-the-mill associate professor but also for one who would be world renowned in his or her...

    [Spycraft 2.0] The November Man, anyone?

    Back in the early ninety's there was this great spy series by Bill Granger, and the first one was "The November Man". The main character, Devereau, aka the November Man, was kind of a cross between an American James Bond and maybe Ludlum's Jason Bourne. Basically a real badass. He belonged to...

    [RPGNow] Question about AD&D 1st ed. adventures

    Wow! That was almost too easy. I had problems a couple of years ago trying to get downloads from rpgnow.com so I gave up trying (I am a techtard to the nth degree; I am pretty sure it wasn't Rpgnow's fault in any way). This weekend I gave it another try because I heard Adamant was going to do...
