Remember when I started the "1,000 ways to freak out your players" thread sometime last year? Why was it never archived? I figured it would be a shoo-in for archiving, but it never happened. I think it's worthy of eternal commemoration in the ENWorld archives--except for the two pages full...

Well, I'm here in northern Virgina, and we have the most snow we've ever had since 1996. It's kind of weird. Anyone living near DC knows about the astounding lack of snow we've had in the last six years, but this winter, we've gotten a lot. There's a travel ban on in Virginia right now...

I know there are several point-based class builder systems out there, but has anyone heard of a point-based race builder? Would you share? Please? Many thanks.

Hey, can anyone comment on the situation with Mythic Earth? It seemed like an interesting product, but I haven't heard anything about it for months. What's the scoop?

Has anyone else here ever awarded/been awarded XP for making stupid jokes? When I first joined a certain campaign, I entered into the party by being told to escort the existing PCs to the next town. My instructions were to send word back to Boggin (the first town) when I arrived. I asked the...

The half-breed burst into the bar. He gazed around the astounded company with his eyes blazing with the bloodlust of a neophyte. He shouted to no one in particular, I find your kitten to be ape-like, your garden to be ordinary, and your defense to be unimportant.

So, what are you? Check all that apply. I belong to most/all of these categories. Let's see how many members of the ENWorld community fit the mold. Post comments, too, so the thread stays active.

Zzzz...so sleepy...falling...onto...keyboard... *BUMP* (Get the idea?)

After a month or two, I decided to do another one of these things. Let me know what you think. In this issue: Spells to Get You Places - Three new spells to help your travel. Astral Planetoids - Randomly generate features of the hunks of land in the astral plane. If anyone wants them, I'll...

I have always wondered why the heck this site is called EN World. I have had a sudden revelation. Could it be these happen to be the initials of a certain someone known as Eric Noah?...

In light of all the roleplaying vs. rollplaying/powergaming threads... --- I have a problem in my gaming group. Some of my players have a snacking style that doesn't fit in with my campaign. Most of my players are just fine with the pizza I provide. However, some are not interested in the...

Based on the sneak peek in Asgard magazine, it looks like d20 Supers is going to be AWESOME! The rules seem to be very versatile from what I can tell. It would seem easy to plug them in to almost anything, from a standard Justice League-type game, to a fantasy game, to a modern game. It's...

First, changes to Wizards and Sorcerers. 1. Increase Sorcerer hit die to d6 2. Increase Wizard skill points to 4 + Int mod per level. Reasoning: Sorcerers are not quite as weak as their more studious brethren. They never spent much time studying their magic, and spent more time on the streets...

(Courtesy someone on the Wizards boards for the idea) No, I'm not going to do them all myself. I need YOU to submit the ideas and keep this thread alive! Please label each Way to Freak Out Your Players (WTFOYP) with the next number in line. We can do it! --- 1. When the characters walk into...

Does anyone know what happened to Realmscrafters? (Their site is hosted on ENWorld.) What is on their website is intriguing, but there hasn't been an update since January! Is there anyone that knows what's going on?

After a very long time of inactivity (read: not feeling like it) I finally finished the second issue of Short Sheets. Table of Contents: Guilds - Join Up! - Rules for guilds, and three different ones for your characters to join: the Smith's Guild, the Wizard's Library, and the Thieves' Guild...
