Could somebody give me the low down on their own campaign setting? I saw it in my FLGS once like two months ago or so and it was 50 bucks I think, and for it's size I didn't think it was worth that so I never looked at it, but with all the Pathfinder stuff they have done and all their adventure...

I was wondering something...haven't tried it yet, but a notion that crossed my mind after playing Savage Worlds this past weekend. I bring this up because when doing SW our combats were deadly fast and people reacted as their turns came up, but what made it possible was how initiative was...

I'm looking for what people have used for their house rules. The only two I have right now is that I am limiting the Force Training feat that it can be chosen a maximum of three times, and to keep the balance with other classes, I'm going with the following limitation: Can be selected once...

I'm just curious and hope ya don't mind the question but I always found Elements of Magic to be one of the best alternate magic system sources for 3.x and I was wondering if there are any plans to bring this insight to 4th edition?

I know that WotC is going all out with this whole online thing, the Digital Initiative or whatever it is called... and I feel out of the loop, so can someone explain how this is supposed to be working, how to subscribe and what a subscription will cost and how long is it for? I'm very confused...

After reading all these books, I think that they would make for a killer tv show. As I read them, the first image I got, due to his sarcastic and take-no-names attitude was Keanu Reeves from his performance from Constantine, then I said to myself, "Ummm, am I dense?" and rethought it, and then...

What are some of your ways that you've handled xp during your campaigns? I'm looking for something different than the core system, which I think is kinda screwed up. And a related question is what guides your decision in handling xp, like what do you focus on and how can it be made to be...

Sometimes when I have began a campaign, sometimes I tell players to create their characters and then go from there in designing the campaign, and other times I've made detailed character handouts, player information and house rules into a document (sometimes in excess of over 25 pages...

I am asking this because I know what's in d20 Modern but I don't know what Grim Tales is except its heavily influenced by d20 Modern. What makes one better than the other? Which do you all prefer?

We seem to have a lot of DM threads on here, so here's another one for us to ponder. For all of you DMs and potential DMs, what steps do you take when you prepare for your game sessions? How about how do you prepare for your campaigns?

I'm not understanding what RAW pertains to in the other threads so I'm just up and asking what this means? Please enlighten me so I can understand what some of you are talking about on here.

Okay, Magic of Incarnum just came out, and meesa loves it. I also like psionics (please don't throw any daggers +1 at me ;) ). After the last game session I was just in, and how boring it got with the same things happening in each session (I'm not the DM), I am wanting something totally...

Has anybody ever tried using a damage save mechanic for damage instead of using vitality points and wound points in Star Wars, and if so, how has it worked? I am interested in trying this in an upcoming star wars game cuz I have always wanted to use a Damage save type health system, but I...

When is this book coming out? Anybody know? Somebody has to know...I need to know. :) Any info would be great.

I just watched this movie last night, not having seen any trailers or knowing what it was really about (neighbor rented it, dropped it off). This is what a thriller/horror should be. This movie is definately better than a lot of other movies I've seen recently, with good actors and a great...

Well, since we have our stupidest movie ever thread, why not have a best movie ever thread also. First up, the Star Wars trilogy (episodes 4, 5, and 6)...can't go wrong with those. Second, the Lord of the Rings trilogy... definately can't go wrong with those. Third, Indiana Jones trilogy...

This is for all of you out there that have created your own worlds... Just how much do you prepare before you begin your first game session? I am coming up with just the basics of my own world, and the feel I am going to present (Black Company meets Dark Sun with no real clerical healing --...

This question pertains to including classes and PrC's outside the Black Company setting book. I just got this book, great book, love it, but mainly for the combat system, classes and prestige classes, etc...not exactly for the world. I have my own world but I wanted this magic system, which...

We don't get too many sell me threads on here but I am giving it a shot. Basically, I need somebody to convince me to give DragonMech more than a cursory look and tell me why it's a good setting so I can past the artwork in the book, which I think is horrendous. How are the mecha rules and...

have you come up with in your homebrew worlds that are different than the norm, or how have you changed the normal races to fit your unique world?
