Dec. 19th, 2009 @ 08:55 pm Video converting tool..Can anyone help me do this right? Or find a better one?
Ok. Neko had the crazy idea to try to convert *.mkv to *.avi with something called PS3 Video 9. (He wants to play things on his PS3.)

It didn't work. Does anyone have any ideas for converting *.mkv to *.avi, preferably in such a way that it WOULD play on a PS3? what he passed me is adware and I want it off my system. I WANT something that's free, though ^^ (He found it on playstation forums. Sheesh, yuck.) Need to convert it to Xvid. ^^

..I just don't know where else to ask. ><

Dec. 15th, 2009 @ 01:52 pm Useful Map Creation Tools
Current Mood: impressed
Hey gals,

Thought you all might find these useful. I'm DM-ing my first campaign over the holidays and wanted some tools to make my own world. Most of you all probably knew about this stuff already, but since I'm new to the whole DM thing I figured I'd share.

First, a nice listing of random generating map tools:
Six RPG Map Making Solutions For Your Game

Digging into this site a bit, I found some useful links.

I found this random map generator very useful. It has lots of tweaks that you can use to create the specific city that you want. It requires an application to be installed, but I think it's gonna be very handy.
Roleplaying City Map Generator

Even more awesome is this Photoshop tutorial on how to transform your measly little box/lines map into a nice professional-looking one. It requires registering with the site to view the images, but its free to do so.
[Award Winner] A medieval town map tutorial in Photoshop

And finally, a nice simply random dungeon creator. Some pretty nice tweaks available here as well.
Random Dungeon Generator

Looking through the first link might have some extra useful items, but these were the ones that really stood out to me. Enjoy! =)

Dec. 15th, 2009 @ 10:07 am A little help?
Hi, my names Cherie. Been a part of this group for awhile but never posted. I post because I have a question. Anyone know how to go about creating character sheets for role playing games such as D&D? I ask because I had in my head the idea to make character sheets for random characters (mostly animated. I'm an animation nut.).

I'm thinking of starting with Dr.Facilier from Disney's new movie "The Princess and the Frog", but I have no idea on how to go about creating character sheets. Can anyone help?

Hi Everyone!

Hope that you all are looking forward to the release of Avatar this Friday. I have written a very special preview post for my science in entertainment site, ScriptPhD.com, on the behind-the-scenes technology and innovation, along with art and design, that resulted in the masterpiece that I promise you all will enjoy very, very much.

My actual film review will be up on Wednesday.

In the meantime, if you're curious about the behind-the-scenes magic and wizardry, check out the post: Behind Avatar: Science, Technology, Art and Design.

Thanks.

X-posted to some other sci-fi communities.

Dec. 15th, 2009 @ 09:34 am I was thinking about it...
Current Mood: amused
I was doing some reflecting, and I've come up with 11 (it was intended to be 10) of my "oh dear, I am a nerd" moments. I posted it to my private journal but i thought maybe I should share it here too... feel free to add yours in the comments :D

Now, I'm not talking about the fact that I play DnD and own an xbox 360... no, these are the little things that remind me daily that I am a nerd. I'm sure theres more but off the top of my head this is what I came up with... So here goes, in no particular order:

( my nerdy lightbulb moments )( Read more... )

and you know what? I love it all.
