ADDED - Character Print View
October 2011
Just discovered this thread myself :) A possible workaround would be to parse the XML through a PDF writer - there are a number of PHP classes that can do this (such as tcpdf used by the print module for Drupal, you can find it here- http://www.t…

My blog is only slightly gaming related - "http://curufea.livejournal.com":http://curufea.livejournal.com Mostly it's about games I write - board, card or roleplaying print-n-play, which I tend to put up on my main website - "http://www.curufea.com…

Map tool

You may want to proofread your posts before hitting the enter - your text prediction has made the sentence almost unreadable. Is the problem that the google maps interface isn't showing on your iPad when you go to the maps part of your campaign? …

If you could make your favorite show/movie/video game into a campaign setting what would it be??
December 2010
edited December 2010
It's completely different - 20,000 leagues was science fiction adventure (what if someone invented a radium powered sub). Kraken is urban fantasy mystery - set in modern London. Magic exists in the form of "knacks" where the behind the scenes comm…

It'd be more like Cyberpunk than Shadowrun. More hard SF & mortality, less magic & instaheals.

Video game for me - I'd definitely want to try a Bioshock game. 50s cyberpunk underwater. All faction powerblocks and lots of intriguing over limited resources. Godfather meets Caprica.

Q-Workshops and Their Very Nice Dice!
December 2010
Painting the dice does make it easier to read the numbers - with the 3D printing however, the result is not smooth (being solidified powder), so you do need to do a bit of sanding with Spaceways objects.

Edit History

Horror one shot game
December 2010
In order for something to be horror - you need to take power away from the heroes. You have to have a feeling of powerlessness. This can be something as simple as a hostage situation, where the hero is still physically capable of doing everythin…

Nice, but I still prefer the 3D molded shapeways dice - "D20":http://www.shapeways.com/model/56881/steampunk_d20__3cm_.html?gid=rg "D6":http://www.shapeways.com/model/160654/16mm_steampunk_d6.html?gid=sg19826

I usually look for personality quirks - why they are different from those around them - and then work back to what could have caused them to be that way. Everyone is the sum of their circumstances and opportunities - their personalities are shape…

Creating hordes of enemies.
November 2010
Depends on your system. Generally in my games - a horde of enemies means either "run away" or "think up some really creative way to win". If you happen to be using a system that doesn't include rules for fatigue or being outnumbered and surrou…

'Spoiler Tags'

Likewise you can't collapse/hide or display with CSS either because you can't access the head area of the website. Pseudo-classes (such as :hover) can't be declared in styles in the body of a website, only in the head.

Kewl. So in order to disambiguate your original post- Why not what? Why not create hordes of enemies for the PCs as a GM? The point is you tried.. what? Tried to fight hordes of enemies? Tried to include them in a game? Tried to run a ma…
