Jason, My name is Dave and I live in Apex, NC. I am interested in learning more about your proposed campaign. What day were you planning on running it? I run a game on Saturdays and I would love to find a game that ran on a weeknight, but I am flexible. Will you be running your own world or...

Dagger, I recommend you read the novel, Nightfall , by Isaac Asimov. A whole civilization was destroyed and you get to read about the after effects of the image. It may help you get a feel for how things should read. One thing that will be happening, is that every evil warlord, or brigand...

I'd wait on this one. I have heard rumors about a d20 book that will really do this for you. It's supposed to be out in a few months. If you want to work on it. I recommend a simple form for now, especially since your players will not be fughting them in the near future. Deity...

It's impossible to run a game without prepartion. Personally, I hardly prepare for an adventure at all. I just write up an events outline and manage everything else on the fly; however, I can only do this because I have created my own world. Since I have wrtten everything, including the races...

To Queenie Queenie, Unfortunately, your party seems to be meta-gaming to keep her character in the group. If these things had happened in real life, people would no longer care to be around her. I am not sure what the rest of the party's alignment may be, but she is obviously being...

As I work for a d20 company and I am creating a setting for them, I can assure you that it is far more difficult than it sounds. A few things that you have to consider when your creating one. Internal storyboard: You have to create a storyboard for the writers, one for the GMs and one for the...

Good Lord! I find it amazing to see some of the mess that has happened to groups. I never associated violence with gaming. My story is somewhat more sedate. This happened in game and in character. I have never had to worry about physical violence in a game. This happened in my first gaming...

d20 market and the feat system Great discussion! I have really enjoyed this thread. It has been more than a little informative. I have a few comments of my own to make. First of all, I think "glut" does apply to the d20 publishers at the moment. Personally, I bought tons of material in the...

To Rob: Whoa! Before I leave, I have to reply to this one. How on Earth can you make that statement? You are no longer arguing in the least. It's obvious that you enjoy turning the words of others to your own uses, totally ignoring intent on the part of those actually arguing a point. No...

Buttercup: Bolo's: The Bolo comes from the late Keith Laumer's science fiction writing. The Bolo is a A.I. tank that came to dominate the battlefields of his universe. There were a ton of books on the subject. I wanted something different for my name, so I went for Daemon, or demon bolo. I...

I tend to disagree with people who have to put down someone should their opinions differ. Unfortunately, I see no 'reason' in Rob's arguments other than he believes anyone who disagrees with his personal preferences is censoring or attacking him on a personal level. Well, if you want...

Wow, a lot of posts. I am glad to see it, although the last few were a bit inflammatory. As everyone remains entitled to an opinion, I do not see why people have to malign someone in order to win an argument. Or make themselves feel better, whichever is the true cause of their angst. People...

I loved to read science fiction and fantasy. I had heard about the game, but never met anyone who played. Finally, I was 16 and I had my first job. Another person worked there for a summer job and we liked some of the same books. She and I hit it off and I started gaming with her group.

<<<Buttercup said: Sigh. Here we go again. 1. The book isn't published yet. 2. If you don't like it, don't buy it. 3. It's a resource for DMs not players. 4. It probably isn't that vile anyway. 5. Stop worrying so much about what other people think. 6. Game the way you like and let others do...

I had read some of the arguments concerning the BOVD here at EnWorld. Unfortunately, I was out of town when the Tracy Hickman controversy hit, so I am unsure what happened in that case; however, I am against the concept of the BOVD. It's not that I care about the material. I leave that out of...
