Back before we had this forum we used to keep a semi-active boardgame thread floating in G&T were we'd recommend games to one another, give session reports and just generally chat. It was good fun, and recently I've felt a terrible burning lust to spend some of my hard earned cash on a cardboard box filled with bits of wood and plastic. Either way, I'll try to do a proper OP and outline ...

Okay, so the old 4e thread was well past 100 and I felt like making my own. With hookers. And blackjack. Know what? Screw the thread.

Anyone who's played an RPG or tabletop game must have had at least a loose idea for their own project. It could be a new race for D&D, a new army for WH or a new setting to play in using FATE or Wushu. The particularly adventurous may have even branched into their own RPGs or Wargames from scratch. I certainly have plenty of these half-finished projects myself but this is no ego ...

Well, first gather some buddies, grab a couple of d20s, and hit the tabletop. Then... Wait. Why are you posting here? Spoiler: show spoiler hide spoiler Check this out, it'll be good for a laugh. But, uh, 'divine nonchalance'? gtfo.

Exigency A discussion (read: crazy ramblings!) regarding the system used herein can be found in the Experimental D20 System thread. What the hell is Exigency? The word itself means an urgent situation, or a situation requiring abnormal effort or attention to resolve. It's also the title of a short story I once wrote, so I reserve the right to recycle it!...

I'm still working my way through Caro's The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York City . It's a really interesting read and kind of unsettling because I can see too much of myself in a young Bob Moses. Granted I haven't gotten to the really corrupt bits yet, but still. I should probably stop letting it sit for days while I blitz through non-fiction and such... What are ...

Hey, I have a friend who is constantly giving 120%, and it's now starting to show. I gave her my best advice, but I want to give her something to help her further. We're not in any sort of romantic relationship, so I'm not worry about sending some weird message of love or anything. Currently I'm thinking wind chimes or water fountain. I'm leaning more towards water fountain ...

So I figured I could tackle fixing this on my own (I've built and fixed a few computers in my time) - but this has proven to be well beyond my capabilities, so I wanted to get some other opinions before throwing more money at it. Short story is, my brother's computer is producing no video signal while otherwise working completely normally (that is, it starts up normally - complete with...
