I never played Dark Sun. It was coming onto the market when I was playing games other than AD&D. I've peripherally known about it, but never read any of the materials. Recently I had a chance to skim through some material from the original boxed set, and my take on the game was a lot...

I'm looking for ideas to flesh out the evil plot of an NPC in my game. A plot I didn't even realize was brewing until after events were set into motion :) Here's the backstory: I needed to get the party from City A to City B for the next adventure. The hook in City B was helping an orphanage...

It seems one of the classic tropes of FRPG campaigns is that evil masterminds write detailed letters to their subordinates, who then leave these letters lying around so the PCs can discover them as they loot said subordinates lair (after helping the subordinate shuffle off their mortal coil)...

When reading long threads, such as some of the Story Hour threads, where I won’t be finishing in one read is there a way to go back to the last page or post I was reading? Some way to bookmark perhaps?

I was never into Planescape during the time it was an active product. Planescape came on the market at a time when I was playing games other than D&D, so it stayed underneath my radar, and by the time I came back to D&D 3E was in full swing. I’m at the point where I no longer buy any gaming...

This situation came up during my last campaign. Party bard was fond of using Inspire Courage, and another character was as ranger with an eagle animal companion. Question at the time was if the Inspire Courage applied to the eagle, as the eagle was an animal. My ruling at the table was "yes"...

I'm newly relocated to Northern VA (Herndon to be exact) from New England and hoping to join a game in my general area. I imagine most people browsing these boards are playing D&D/d20, but I'd be interested in a game using just about any ruleset. My short gaming bio: I'm 31 and gaming since...

Hello all! I'm going to be moving to the Dulles, VA area at the end of November, and I'd be interested to know if anyone can tell me about living around this area of Virginia. The company I'll be working at is located very close to Dulles Airport, and I'm hoping to live a reasonable commuting...

I've been a long time reader of ENWorld, but very rarely a poster. But I have a question, and this seems like a good place to find some answers. I've been interviewing with several companies based just outside BWI airport, and it looks like I'll be receiving offers, which would require me to...

So I'm removing the Silence spell from my game. I don't like how when used offensively it can virtually render a spellcaster useless for a long period of time, and I also don't like how when it is used in a utilitaritian fashion to aid in stealth that players seem to keep communicating somehow...

Hi there! I'm recruiting players for a new Eberron campaign in the Dover or Somersworth area of NH. I'm a long time gamer (over 15 years), with a good amount of experience behind the DM's screen. Looking for players who have a working knowledge of 3.5, are familiar with the Eberron setting...

We are a small, experienced gaming group (currently 3 active members, average age 29) based in Dover, NH, looking to recruit some new blood. We’d like to find a few more gamers to begin a new 3.5 campaign. Setting possibilites include Forgotten Realms, Midnight, Arcana Unearthed, or Redline...

This recently came up in a game. If a cleric casts a command spell with the order to "freeze", and the target fails to save, what should the outcome be? One possibility that was put forward was it would duplicate a daze spell. Another idea was that the target would stand motionless...

I was wondering if anyone has played/GMed or at least read Tempest Feud? From what I've seen this adventure looks pretty good, and I was thinking of working it into a campaign. Unfortunately my local gaming store only got two copies, and they sold out before I could give it a skim. I have not...

A while back someone posted a link to Frank Bonura's Star Wars Deckplans website (www.deckplans.swfans.com/). There Mr. Bonura had created what, in my opinion, were some truly outsanding deckplans for various freighter designs. I bookmarked the site, intending to come back when my Star Wars...
