    But fuck, I really, really hate it when someone has a nice, interesting web page but then goes and spoils it by having pictures of their damn cat on there. I don't give a fuck about the cat no matter how damn cute you think it is! What the hell is it with geeks and cats.


    Bored playing RPGs ?
    Your player are boring, have no clues, and instead of playing the complexe story full of surprise you took 2 months to write and design, they spend the whole night admiring and complimenting each other's "leet dry-brushing skills" ?
    You're fed up and want to finish the game, quickly ?

    Unleash our brand new figurine the "10 Giga-HP Feline Dragon", our latest addition to our sucessful "monsters to kill players" collection.

    It is huge, it is fast, it can cross the whole playing field during the same turn (even several times), it has a lot of HPs, it cannot be harmed with conventionnal swords (even with magical ones), has special magical skills like "Teleport a hero out of the playing field (to the ground of the room)" and "All moves are consideref Interruptions and may occure even during other player's turns (Or while they are attempting to save their figurine)".

    Warning, this figurine :
    - may damage or swallow other players' figurines during the play.
    - may harm other players, when they try to recover said figurines
    - may run and hide, and stay hidden inside message pipe.

  3. A Good Idea, by not the ULTIMATE.... by Jason+Scott · · Score: 4, Interesting · on Ultimate RPG Gaming Table

    I waited until the traffic died down, to say that while I appreciate the ingenuity with the use of a projector (and there's lots of others cool things this approach could take), this is hardly the "Ultimate RPG Table".

    No, my friends, this is the ultimate RPG table.

    I am taken with how much effort and thought the creator of that table put together in planning, executing, and documenting his work. Truly, it's a work of art and quality far beyond a simple application of an LCD projector.

    Best of all, it's a version 1.0 and additional refinements are to come.

    Disclaimer: I don't play any of this stuff, but I know quality when I see it.

    That's not entirely true... ... there was an ultimate gaming table posted to slashdot some weeks or months back - it's site was slashdotted too.

    Ah, here we are:
