I wish we had a good online RPG store here in the UK - like rpgshop.com and all the others. Sure, I use RPG Now the same as anybody else, but it obviously can't carry a huge range of stock. Does anybody else wish for the same? It would be so much nicer if we could get more of our stuff over the...

Agreed. A campaign should just give you a framework within which you can build your adventures. When I designed my campaign world, Realms of Allancia, I created simple things - a general map of the main continent, guidelines on how society works in general, known major religions - that sort of...

I only *regularly* play on weekday evenings, but since I'm a university student, I have unlimited free time to play whenever I can get a group together. :p

Sure thing! I'll look out for you. Saturday is actually my busiest day. No sooner have I finished DM'ing one slot, I have to run off to DM another! I'll make as much effort as I can to stop by any EN World table. As long as it's obvious, I'll find you! I'm there all four days, however, and it...

I'll be doing a few rounds of the Open, so a few of you may well see me. I'm thinking about getting a customised baseball cap with DynaMup on it, so you can all see me... ...and probably flame me on the boards when I don't send any of you to Indianapolis next year ;)

I want to get out to the USA next year for Gen Con, but it all depends on when I start work...I'll have only just graduated from university, and will doubtless have absolutely no money at all! Having said that, it would be a blast...so long as someone could house a British tourist ;)

I like the versatility of the d20 system, and still find it great for introducing new people to the hobby. Having said that, I understand it has its limits, and so long as people don't just think that "if it isn't d20, it's no good" I think it will sit in harmony with most other games. I enjoy...

I've created my own world from scratch, and have been playing games in it for many years (over 6 now), with many varying groups of players. The sheer diversity of the people I've had playing has made it all worthwhile - I've had some fantastic times, and hope to always do so. It's not the only...

As a student, I guess I'd be in the financial slave class... ...and may just one day become an expert in something :)

I began with the old red-box version of Dungeons & Dragons in 1989, and moved onto AD&D 2e around 1991-1992 ish. I won't harp back and say "ahh, twas a golden age of gaming" because I think the gaming world has come on leaps and bounds since then! I had many great adventures with 2nd edition...

E-Tools isn't out yet over here, but I'm hearing so many disaster stories of it, I think I'm going to give it a miss. I belong to the pre-PC generation of D&D gamers, and I use my computer for many aspects of campaign management, but for characters, I don't think you can beat the good...

Well, call me a bit mainstream, but I picked up: Manual of the Planes Call of Cthulu d20 (excellent) Terra Ferax Gaelic & Elven Name tables Also, here in the UK, we have Gen Con UK coming up on the 29th, so doubtless I'll buy loads more stuff there! I think I can hear my bank manager...

Okay, well, I'm about to go DM'ing in my first convention (Gen Con UK - look out for me if you're there!), and I'm very nervous. The last thing I want to have happen is for people to have a bad time, and for me to go down as a bad DM. Reading some of your stories on here makes for grim reading...

I like the CR system, purely because it gives me a quick, simple guide as to how challenging a monster is. One of my biggest gripes with the old 2nd edition system was the sheer number of "big" stats that got thrown around at higher levels, and the CR system gets rid of a lot of this. I've only...

As Buttercup et al. have been saying over these boards, there really shouldn't need to be any distinction between female and male gamers. When most of us started out in this hobby, it was true that it was extremely male dominated. These days, I think it's far more balanced. I'm very conscious...
