Attn: PirateCat You asked me to post here regarding getting my account name changed here at ENworld. My current account name is Wolf70 and I would like to get it changed to DarrenGMiller. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can give. I look forward to returning to an active state here...

Not sure who else has a campaign website that they use, or to what extent they use it, but I would like to share mine. We use it for everything from character backgrounds, calendars, session logs, off and on-topic chat and messages, photos of people and places from the campaign, and even...

This is an account of my new D20 Modern Hudson City campaign. We all live in Horry County, SC. Hudson City is the Dark Champions setting published by Hero Games, written by Steven S. Long. Our modifications to D20 Modern are: 1.) Grim n' Gritty Hit Point & Bleeding Rules; 2.) 4th Edition...

So, I dropped off the face of the earth for a few years (don't know if any "old timers" here remember me). The stresses of job and life got the best of me. I've been "recovering" from PTSD for the past year, and was not in any shape to game while I was going through it for 2 years, nor during...

I'm not sure if anyone missed me or even noticed my prolonged absence, but I have returned. I won't say that things are going stunningly well, or even well at all, but I the time is right to return and maybe even to start gaming again soon. Due to some life issues, which are ongoing at this...

Back in the middle of October, I went to the I.C.E. website and ordered Nightmares of Mine. I despaired of ever receiving it, but on Wednesday it arrived in the mail. I was overjoyed. I thought I would never get it, but now I have it. Actually, it came the day before the Barbara Tuchmann...

I am looking to write something into the homebrew I am working on that mimics the Hundred Years War and resultant plagues (along with inquisition) that ravaged Europe (I liked Bernard Cornwell's take on this in his Grail Quest trilogy). In your opinion, how would longer lived races such as...

I hate that I lose enthusiasm for a campaign when I know I am down to the last few sessions and I have the next one all planned out. The current game has been going for basically a year. Only two of the original 8 players are still in the group and only one of the original PC's is still...

In coming up with names for locations in my next campaign, I would like to pay homage to some of the campaigns influences (heroic fantasy horror game). Here are some of my thoughts for places: The campaign world: Lugos (Bela Lugosi) Kharlovia (Boris Kharloff) Sommersville (Stephen Sommers)...

I am going to post some house rules derived from various sources, published and unpublished, that I plan on using in a Van Helsing style early Renaissance setting game that I am working on. If you are familiar with any of the rules, please let me know what you think. If you are familiar with...

One of my former students, who graduated in 2004, committed suicide last night. I taught him for 4 consecutive years. He played clarinet in my concert band and was in the group that performed at Carnegie Hall in 2004. He was a great kid, socially inept like most of us, but a great kid. He...

I took a sick day today (I am a high school teacher) to get some sleep and get my car fixed (no heater/defroster/air conditioner fan). It is also the end of my busiest season (marching band) and the first day I could actually afford to miss work. I am going to get some reading done, get the...

I know it sounds a bit strange, but I have had this idea in mind for a while now and it is, as most of my ideas usually do, slowly coaslescing over the course of many months. As my current campaign is ending soon, I need to really pull this together for my next one (though I am taking a few...

I have had some issues viewing ENWORLD lately. One morning when I checked the boards, it showed that nobody had posted anything for more than 24 hours. The next time I cam back, still nothing new twelve hours later. Now, when I look at the General RPG forum, I will see a thread on the first...

I was reading the thread where the original poster was searching for Underdark adventures in a certain style, with parameters regarding creatures encountered (ie. no Drow) and locations of interest that would preferably be included. This led me to the next step. First, I must say that I am a...

My Greyhawk campaign that started in January and survived lots of player conflict and turnover is winding down. We started in Crucible of Freya, then Village of Homlett (linked) and have done a whole bunch of adventures since then. We are now down to the final 6 adventures. The final two are...

Normally I visit Enworld every day. Even during my busiest weeks, I visit most days, but this is the first time I have been here since last Saturday. I had a little indigestion that day and gamed on Sunday (since I had to work Monday night), but by Sunday afternoon, I was feeling awful. We...

I am a fan of the NY Mets (have been since I was old enough to be a fan of anything... blame it on my parents). They had an awful collision in the outfield last night. I can only hope these to players are okay (Mike Cameron and Carlos Beltran). Here is a link to the video. I have never seen...

I am wondering if anybody here has DM'ed in a setting with alternating DM's and/or campaigns. What I am considering is switching DM's every 2-4 weeks, with each of the 2 DM's running a distinctly different campaign. For those of you who have tried something like this, what were the problems...

In trying to set a flavor and style for the campaign world I am working on, I am thinking that the predominant armor would be lighter and less restrictive of movement, but I am having a hard time justifying it. In tossing ideas back and forth with others (not my players) online, it has been...
