Hi all, I guess I've decided to reinvent the wheel and create a new Game Mechanic for a custom RPG. However, in spite of trying to get the right "feel" for the genre , I'm not sure it "feels right" and need a good critique. The game is set in the future and is completely SciFi, with space...

360 or upgrade… I’m thinkin’ about buying an X-box 360 or upgrading my computer just so I can play Elder Scrolls Oblivion. Is that wrong? Is it wrong to temporarily deprive my family of my monetary resources in order to play a video game? Can I actually have fun playing a video game with my...

How many people here, PCs and DMs, have their Players abide by the “laws of nature”? By this I mean eating and drinking regularly, and most importantly, relieving themselves. I for one have a hard time fitting or remembering the latter in my games. I was just wondering who else does and how...

Are all Dwarven crafted weapons considered masterwork items? If so, where can I find it? I remember reading this somewhere, but I cannot find it or recall which book it was even covered in. Any help would be much appreciated. :)

I run a once-a-month campaign with a group of long time friends. Even though they all really want to play, sometimes it seems like I am the only one who puts any effort in it. We all have pretty busy lives (Careers, families, children etc...) and it is not uncommon to miss a game or two, in fact...

I have just received my copy of the "Lost Empires of Faerun." I haven't yet read the book, but I was just skimming through it and noticed that not much, if any, was written about dwarven history. You would think that some of the best ruins to crawl and wonderful artifacts to find would be of...

My group likes to play a drinking game. Here are the rules in AD&D: You begin with your CON score. If you roll over your CON you get a –2* For every 3 drinks you get a –1 *If you roll over your CON by 4 or more, you’re done (KO) A role of 20 is automatic KO A 1 gives you a +1 CON Last...

Amazon finally sent my copy of FE. Unfortunately, It’s at my mother in law’s house 3 thousand miles away! She bought it for me for Christmas and didn’t know it was on back order. Well, I’ll have it soon enough. I have the worst luck with Amazon. I am still waiting for an Ewart Oakeshott book I...

Playing monthly games is really a pain in the butt. It takes four weeks just to find a weekend that everyone can play. Well, we are all family men now, save one, and screaming kids running around tend to shorten our games a bit. Unfortunately, my son is probably the worst. He’ll be one this...
