Marriages, careers, and children have taken their toll on our group, so we're looking for several new members who are interested in gaming in the Kyle area. We play at my house, just off I-35 in northern Kyle, every week. Right now we've been meeting mid-week, but if there is interest I'd like...

In what has to be the easiest time doing so in years, I got my room at Embassy Suites on the second try this year :) Anyone else done with booking?

So, I've begun work on a new project, and I'm curious about what others think of the idea. For a while now I've been helping a friend of mine build settings by guiding him through the process of putting together his adventures into cohesive campaigns, and it occurred to us that it might be a...

So, I'm pretty bummed right now. I ordered a case of Against the Giants minis, but they're not being shipped until next week, so I went out today and grabbed a couple boxes from the FLGS. All in all the minis are pretty nice. I don't play the minis game, but I like a little bit of random...

So, my contract with T-Mobile is up next month, and I want to switch to Sprint. The problem is that they don't carry my Blackberry Curve, so I need a new phone. Any ideas? I like playing media, and use the GPS and mapping pretty often, but other than that I just need email. Cool programs are...

I don't write professionally or anything, but I do write a lot, and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on whether or not it was worth it for a casual user to upgrade to the newest version of Office. It seems like a lot of money to spend on something I will use little outside of writing up...

My friends and I are going to play a one-shot Iron Heroes game this week and it occurs to me that it's been about a year since the last time we played d20 seriously as a group. That got me thinking and thumbing through some of my old favorites: Grim Tales, True20, Thieves world, and I was...

I promised to live blog this, but I couldn't find a wireless connection in the ballroom, so I'll post here. I'll update this thread as I go along.

I mentioned it on my blog, but I thought I'd post it here as well. The judges for this year's Ennie Awards have completed their nominating process, so look for an announcement in the next couple days. This doesn't include the fan's Best Publisher award though, so keep those nominations coming...

I think I left it in the bag

My wife turned off the warning that let's you know when a site tries to display a popup and I'm finding it very inconvenient. I know I can just allow popups in general or even for specific sites, but I do a lot of random surfing, and I like to know when a site is trying to open a popup, because...

I was going to start reading this book tomorrow, but I was curious if I should pick up and read Operation Quicklaunch first. If it's not necessary to understand or play the game I'd rather skip it right now, since I'm a little buried at the moment, but I don't want to be lost when I read Helios...

I really hate it when adventures just give you a couple of suggestions of thing to do and then tell you to make up the rest. It seems to me that people who buy a ready-made adventure don't want to make up the rest, or they would have just written an adventure themselves to begin with. Perhaps...

On February 29, 1936, the Maria Solace set out from Puerto Rico on a trip to Brazil. It never arrived. No one really knows what happened to the passengers or crew of that ill-fated trip. It is known that a freak storm drove them north not long after passing the island's western coast, and it...

So, one of my players is going to GM a one-shot using Crisis in Freeport. That means I actually get to game (yay!) for the first time in years, but I can't figure out what I want to play, and I have 3 days left to decide. The character will be 9th level, and must use WotC books. No weird...

I bought a new laptop before Vista came out, but close enough that they sent me a free upgrade. I have XP Media right now, but is there a good reason for me to upgrade to Vista? I use my computer for the usual word processing/internet/gaming things. I'm sure it's powerful enough to run it...

I have Campaign Cartographer 2, but I just can't seem to figure it out. I mean, I can make a map (more or less), but it seems a lot slower and harder than it needs to be. This is almost definitely my fault, but it doesn't help me much to know I'm an idiot. I need a solution. My old way has...

It's been a while, is anyone interested? I was thinking that sometime in September might be a good idea (the 29th?). Long enough after GenCon to be rested and refreshed, and give the college students a chance to get settled in. If we do this I will be bringing copies of the review products I...

Okay, I know this may seem silly, but I accidentally added a misspelled word to my firefox dictionary and it's driving me crazy. Does anyone know a way to delete it?
