Role Playing Public Radio Podcast / Re: Codex of War - New World ransom

There appears to be a faint white outline between the red letters "Codex of War" and the black background of the logo.

Am I just seeing things?


Also, do the words "Compatible with 4E Dungeons and Dragons" need to be a part of the logo, or could they just be featured prominently on the cover, but away from the logo itself? I personally think the logo looks good, and having that floating reminder so close just takes away from the logo's power.

I have a question for you: How big is your table?

The board, pieces, cards, character sheets, etc etc etc takes up a lot of space. Adding in just the Innsmouth expansion threatened to spill over the edges of my table, let alone adding more, but I just have a square table. Either playing on a proper dining room table or the floor might give you more space, but possibly less comfort, depending.

Also, perhaps it's just Innsmouth, but as the rules are written there don't seem to be many reasons to actually go to the expansion area unless your character demands it or you get unlucky and the cards dictate that gates open in the Innsmouth area.

I don't know what the deal was, but everyone's voices were getting garbled and chopped up. I'm assuming it was lag, but it made it really hard to discern what was being said...

Also, I don't know what I did to incur wrath! (other than blow up that one propane tank at Ross' feet)

Let us know what you think, but I greatly enjoy Arkham Horror.

Also, feel free to take the characters and run with them. For instance, I piloted a rather ridiculous and successful HARRVEY WAAALLLTERSSS!!!1 through the mean streets of Arkham. He killed an elder god and just barely avoided going insane!

That crotchety old man was REALLY deceptively good at doing pretty much everything that particular game.


If you're playing in a group, Hooty McBoob (whatever that librarian's name is) is really good for team play to avoid the inevitable moments when the dice are cursed.

Ok! I was thinking of Warhammer Quest, as Hero Quest actually looks like a game I'd like to play.

My memory could use an upgrade.

My only memory of that game was having our party desperately attempting to get into a door with a voice behind it because we were being chased by... something big. Ogres, maybe? 20 Skaven? Who knows!

All I remember is that after much frantic negotiation to no avail, all it takes is asking "please" to get us into safety. I think that was the only time we actually played that game.

Woah, sweet, there you go!

Michaels always seemed to have solutions for craft problems if you were willing to spend a little bit of money and try something that was meant for cakes or framing.

FUCKING WIN

That is amazing. I feel like I should print that out and laminate it so I can keep it in my wallet.

Dunno how effective this stuff is since I never used it myself, but I used to see it all the time. This gives you the texture, but without all of the work of trying to make actual cracked ceramics of any kind.

However, it's also flat, and so it won't necessarily have the dimension you might be looking for. Also, it is spraypaint, so you can't use it on styrofoam.

Hey, interestingly you can add any program on your computer to your Steam library.

For instance, I have now made Corel Painter 11 into a Steam 'game' for that tingly, Big-Brother-Sees-You Feeling whenever I'm working on RPPR illustrations.

Anyone else notice the "100% Medically Accurate" box at the end with the credits?

Also, Susperia... Dario Argento has some wild stuff. I second that nomination.
