So I've been looking to start creating some personalized maps I can use running my TTRPGs... but I do like using prepackaged settings and to my great disappointment, most of the map-making software I've tried out is AWFUL at importing maps. Mostly my goal is to "dumb down" published maps into...

So, let's lighten up the discussion a bit, eh? About four years ago, my oldest son (who knew I played D&D and wrote some self-published stuff in the early 3E days) asked me about D&D because some of his friends at school were interested in it and wanted to play it and possibly start an RPG club...

Haven't been around ENWorld in at least 5 years, but hopefully a few of y'all recognize my handle (and by my post count, you'll know I was active back in the day). Please allow me a moment or two to set the stage: My son is involved in a fundraiser to raise money for his church group's youth...

Haven't been around ENWorld in at least 5 years, but hopefully a few of y'all recognize my handle (and by my post count, you'll know I was active back in the day). Please allow me to set the stage: My son (Nathaniel Cooley) is involved in a fundraiser to raise money for his church group's youth...

At the risk of this being the wrong place to put this, I'm going to share with you what I'm playing these days. My playing group and I have all moved, have kids, etc., and I really can't play D&D any more - I have too many other responsibilities on my plate, and I can't carve out a large enough...

Or, here are some things I think 4e got "right" and some things I think it got "wrong." This is all my opinion, your mileage may vary. RIGHT: Artifacts. They are now almost like major NPCs in their own right, and have goals, objectives, and (most importantly) are to leave the campaign once...

Yeah, I saw your bump, Mistwell. Let this serve as official notice of the opening of the 0607 ENWorld Fantasy Basketball league. We'll be using Yahoo, and same settings as last season. Okay, all that's interested... fill 'er up! http://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.com League ID: 36755...

I'm just curious... everyone who has read or seen the Harry Potter books/movies knows what Quidditch is. Classic "medieval-esque" usually seem to include footraces, jousting, arena combat, and archery contests - mostly weapons-oriented, though. I guess that's kind of like baseball or...

LINK: http://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/nba/6046 LEAGUE ID: 6046 LEAGUE NAME: ENWorld LEAGUE PASSWORD: enworld0506 I'm gonna do this before it slips my mind... since nobody else has yet started a thread, I'll do it, and play "commissioner" again this year. Yahoo Fantasy Basketball...

This will be a poll, for the early thread-jumpers. Here's my question... what is the (core) class of your current character (or most recent character, if you're not currently gaming)? I know you may have a multiclass character, so for the purposes of this exercise, assume your character's...

Hey, all... I have been inspired of late to work up a "sequel" to my Basic Player's Guide - a Basic GMs Guide (I won't provide a pluggy link, because I am providing this information as context for my question, not as a plug) - and need some help. I need to find 25-ish "iconic" monsters from...

Hi all, I was just thinking about this after the "immersed in lava" thread - what is the most memorable but unconventional (or "not quite by the rules") use of a spell to great dramatic effect you've ever seen. For me, it actually came near the climax of my last campaign (forgive a bit of...

Saw this link today, and it made me think of Hal... http://www.oudaily.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2005/04/08/42560662046e5?in_archive=1 Then I thought to myself, what holidays do you have in YOUR game worlds that might be similarly oddball? I could tell you about playing in one campaign world...
