I've got a couple recent openings in my game groups, plus the one group I was actually playing in just dissolved. So if you're interested, please send me a PM or an e-mail; you can use my login name @sbcglobal.net. Note that the spelling isn't what you think it is. :) The two games I am...

Looking at the quick style chooser and the styles under Thread View Options, we seem to have lost the "Large Text" style. "Stealth" style is still there. Is there any chance of getting this back, since setting the Text Size doesn't seem to work in IE?

For any gamers in the North Houston area, there will be a get-together on Saturday, just to give us a chance to meet others who are local. This is cross-posted in a couple places, so hopefully we'll have critical mass. New China Buffet on the NW corner of I-45 at 1960. (Keymap 332K) 90 FM...

For a while now, I’ve been considering moving my next campaign setting from "stereotypical D&D village" to a setting inspired by Roman North Africa. (I must confess some inspiration from the story hours of Orichalcum, Rel, and Old One.) In some ways, it makes a lot of sense to me: the main...

One in a very long while, I'll remember seeing an ad for some site that I browsed at the time, but didn't buy from, and want to go back there. Similarly, I've occasionally seen people comment about refreshing repeatedly trying to find a specific ad. Is there anywhere on the site where we could...

Since I'm sure no-one is sick of the old "save or die" topic yet, I thought I'd post my own house rule. Not yet playtested, but it may be in place from the start in my upcoming campaign. Rules: On any round when a character is affected by a spell or effect which would incapacitate them, the...

One of the fun challenges of DMing is trying to keep things fresh and interesting for players who have already seen just about every trick in the book. Sometimes, you tweak things a bit, pull everything together, and the players love every minute of it. This thread isn't about those times...

As I search for new campaigns to join, I seem to be churning out a lot of bad character backstory fiction. I decided, just for the heck of it, to post this one. Feedback is welcome, critique will be graciously accepted. ~~~~~~~~ Marial Behrsdotter My first memory is playing with my brother...

Recently, one of the PCs in my campaign decided to try to kill another. She had provocation, of sorts, and at the moment, I'm trying to figure out what the fallout will be all the way around. Any evil schemes would be welcomed. Details: This is a D20 Rokugan campaign. The action revolves...

This is just my brainstorming for a posssible PC for the game IIsi50Mhz is planning to run on AOL chat. (See his thread here.) I thought I'd post it and see what suggestions y'all might offer for improvement or which way to go in deciding between cleric, wizard, and druid...

In my Rokugan campaign, I been thinking that there are several skills that people have invested in that I think are underused. I'd love to hear any ideas people have for situations which would prompt my PCs to roll on the following skills: Appraise, Balance, Decipher Script, Escape Artist...

It's possible this feature exists and I've missed it somewhere, or that someone has already asked about it. If so, please feel free to point me in the right direction. At least one vBulletin site that I use has a "view new posts" option at the top right corner of the welcome screen. This...

My DM has recently been hinting to me that my character's recent and future actions may bring me to the attention of powerful people, and suggesting that I should consider what prestige class I might want to join. Our game is using a house rule that prestige classes have no prerequisites apart...

I currently DM a weekly game, and play in a bi-weekly game. Yet, I find myself masochistically drawn to running yet another game for my D&D newbie co-workers. I know better, but... I just can't help it. I'm enthusiastic about my plot ideas, my co-workers are cool people, and I've never been...

If you're more interesting in the plot than the logistics, skip to below the "****" line. I ran a one shot D&D adventure for my co-workers a couple months ago, and it went over very well. Since then, I've been contemplating running a regular game (the more people in the hobby, the better...

What can I say, I felt the need to share. Years ago, the dragon Bloodscale was maimed in battle with a great black dragon. Although in his frenzy he managed to tear the black to pieces, the black had the temerity to grab Bloodscale's head and unleash its breath point-blank into his face...

I know a handful of gaming groups & players in the area that are looking for fellow gamers, so if you're interested, speak up. D20 Oriental Adventures (Rokugan, sorta) -- This is my game, weekly, Sat 10am - 2:30pm+, 4 players, 6th level, politics & intrigue oriented. Central Houston, near...

I’m looking for advice for my ongoing L5R D20 campaign, and would appreciate any comments you folks would be willing to offer. I’m going to ask a couple questions; feel free to answer any or all that you’re inspired by. :) Background: non-Rokugan classes are rare in the setting. The PCs are...
