You might want to check out NeoExodus: A House Divided at my website http://www.lpjdesign.com. It uses a lot of element that I think your gamers would like. Plus we are doing a “spin-off” of NeoExodus called Xao: Island of Iron and Silk. It is a Chinese influnced setting in NeoExodus. You can read more about it at my blog: http://lpjd.blogspot.com. Hope you come by!

I know I’m so rude to post it here or I may be wrong so sorry.
I just want to ask you if you know any store where I can buy a set of gaming dice. I’m from Laguna and I’ve tried askin’ for it at almost every mall here and hobby store(NG at ATC for example) but they don’t have any.
I thought that maybe you could help me.

Hey there,
To be honest the last place where I’ve seen polyhedral dice sets (the one used in D&D, with the 1d20, 1d12, 2d10, 1d8, 1d6 and 1d4) is in Fortress Games Store in the second floor of the new Virra Mall. It’s on the side with the Toy Kingdom and is along with a bunch of other stores that sell hobby kits and collectible figures. Just look for the store that sells Warmachine Miniatures. There’s not a lot but last I checked they had 4-6 boxes of the dice.
Don’t worry, I know how tough it is to find gaming dice so I’m only happy to help

Thanks so much sir! I hope we could throw some dice together. =)

Hello!
I’ve been looking for photos of dark alleys and found this one on your site.

Did you take the photo? I’m interested in talking about the possibility of using it on a book cover.
Thanks,

Hi there Linda,
I’m afraid that I don’t have the rights to that photo. I just picked that up from the net. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help!

Good pm, sir—
I’ve been following the D&D and forgotten realms series for
a long time.
I’m wondering if you know of any fil.community that buys/sells/trades online rpg characters?
To give you an idea, it would be a local version of the
traders at this site. thanks!

Hi Morpheus,
I’m afraid I don’t play MMORPGs (I’ve quit WoW a few months back) so I can’t really help you there. I’ll leave your comment on the page so that if anyone who -can- help sees this, they’ll be able to reply to you.
