    Looking for a 4e game in or around Toronto or willing to try online play.

    Thanks, I hadn't seen that link before. So far my search has turned up the Toronto Area Board Gaming Society but as the name says that's mostly board games, and the Toronto Role-Players Association which has a gamers seeking gamers board and has meetups every wednesday night; however I haven't...

    Looking for a 4e game in or around Toronto or willing to try online play.

    Hey, I'm also looking for a game in Toronto. I've played 4e a couple of times at cons and the like, but haven't really had a chance to sink my teeth into it. Sadly I don't know of a game for you to join, but perhaps we're on track to collect enough people and start a new game?

    Looking for a game in Toronto

    Hello everyone, I'm looking to join a game somewhere in the Toronto area. I've been here over a year now, it's time to start gaming again. I'm most familiar with D&D 3.5 and Savage Worlds, but I'm not too particular. If you've got a spot for me, or are interested in putting a game together...

    Ingredients for my Homebrew

    It might not have been in the thread topic, but one can never have enough good books to read. ;)

    Ingredients for my Homebrew

    Well, I did say "supernatural flavor", but your point is well taken. I've never been a fan of shifters in eberron, on the other hand, casting them as a race of manitou from the otherworld is starting to grow on me. I've also been inspired by Xorvintaal (terrible name.... but whatever the great...

    Xorvintaal Dragons- Who has used them and how did it go?

    Absolutly it is. I'm sure that things like taking control of all the vice in the royal city has got to net a dragon some points (or at least more treasure to spend on the great game.) Convincing a church to declare the exarchs of a rival dragon "heretics", definitely worth some points...

    Ingredients for my Homebrew

    The last time I played in a homebrew world of mine, I had a lot of fun. I enjoyed the fact that outside of the small area the PCs were in, the majority of the world was a mystery. I liked discovering what was on the other side of the mountain pass along with the PCs. It was quite a fun game...

    Gaming online. . . what to use?

    Our gaming group has been scattered over the country for a couple of years now. Recently we've started using RPTools Maptool and Skype. It works pretty good. The games move about as fast as a regular table top game. I think that's about as good as it gets for online gaming.

    Help me name my Runepunk RPG!

    I think that GoreBlade > OmegaBlade but I also thing that "The Alien Dragon Apocalypse" sounds 110% more interesting than "Heavy Metal Roleplaying" Just to throw this out there, what about "RunePunk: The Alien Dragon Apocalypse"?

    Gaming with SKYPE on line

    I've been doing this lately with a couple of old friends as a way to keep in touch. It works great. We use RPtools Maptool for dice and as a the tabeltop.

    FR - Returning Order to Scardale

    I have to admit that I have yet to read a Forgotten Realms novel, however I've been reading lots of stuff by Raymond E. Feist lately and have found it quite inspirational.

    FR - Returning Order to Scardale

    My PCs are in a position to move a large army of mercenaries from the Vast across the Dragon Reach, into Scardale. They plan to restore order to Scardale Town, and dissuade any Sembian or Zentarim forces from carving the dale up for themselves. All in the name of a fairly good natured but...

    An artifact that grants divine rank 0

    I'm thinking about introducing an artifact that grants divine rank 0 into my game. Reading over this page, I've deduced that divine rank 0 should grant something like: max HP, speed 60ft for medium or 50ft for a small person, a Deflection bonus to AC = Charisma modifier, attacks considered...

    What happens to a big dead animal in the Underdark?

    When nature is creepy it is so cool! I need to find more parasite nature documentaries..... There was an adventure in Dungeon Magazine that I ran a while ago, called Red Tide or something about a fungus that took over people's minds. That Cordyceps Fungus reminded me of that.

    What happens to a big dead animal in the Underdark?

    I'm thinking of running this more like an obstacle course. The goal wouldn't be to kill all the monsters, but to make it to the other side alive. I'm just not exactly sure how to work it best.
