Comment by Randall Walker on October 27, 2009 at 10:18am: Greetings, everyone! I'm hoping this group will be a place we can all share our triumphs and trials with regards to enhancing our own RPG table-top experiences. Feel free to start a discussion group regarding any DIY topic from building terrain, creating handouts, or even the best gaming furniture!
