    Modern "old school" rules & Baldur's Gate

    My first exposure to D&D was the classic PC game, Baldur's Gate, and its sequels. The game manual inspired my first attempts at running pen & paper games, though they were quickly replaced by the release and my subsequent purchase of the 3rd edition D&D rules. In the intervening 10 years, I've...

    Creating Pantheons

    Howdy U_K, Considering all the shake-ups with the product lineup now that you're making the transition to 4e, what will become of your plans to present pantheon creation rules? Will they appear in Godsend or will they be delayed until after the 4e books have begun rolling out? If they aren't...

    Looking for Group

    Howdy, I'm a fairly regular gamer who has been playing online (AIM chatrooms mainly) for years in mostly D20 systems, but I've dabbled in some L5R. My regular group has been extremely inconsistent and I'm looking for a campaign to play. I don't really want to play something that changes up too...

    What happens to nations in the future?

    So I'm somewhat of a grand strategy game junkie these days, mostly dabbling in Paradox's games like Europa Universalis and Crusader Kings or others like Galactic Civilizations. However, I'm looking for a new game to sink my teeth into with a theme of space colonization (more or less Galactic...

    D&D in the News...

    It seems our beloved game has found its way into the news again, if only as a tangential reference. http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/12/16/armored.car.company.ap/index.html?eref=rss_topstories I can't really tell if the author assumes these peoples' 'fantasy lives' made them more likely to commit...

    Visiting Ireland - What to do?

    Howdy, I receive my bachelor's degree in May and to celebrate I've decided to plan a trip with a few friends for about 10-14 days to Ireland. A few things first: I've never been out of the United States and my means are fairly limited - so I'm trying to keep travel down as much as possible...

    Touring The Great Wheel <My players stay out!>

    So as part of my current campaign, I plan to have the major villain attempt to rebuild a lost artifact from ancient Netheril out of component pieces. These pieces are assumed to have been scattered long ago and form some (yet unknown) powerful artifact usable to recreate a new magical empire...

    Just Plain Broken

    Having spent some time reading the thread on broken balance and expansions (here), I got wondering what stuff I should be on the look out for as a DM. I allow my players to pick and choose from books as they please (tho I limit the # of books any one character can draw from by level, keeping...

    Underground Calendars?

    In establishing background for my homebrew (actually a joint homebrew created by players acting as deities over the course of 6 months), I decided it would be beneficial to come up with calendars used by various races. Considering that the world is young, I figured there could still be multiple...

    [BESM] Support for BESM d20?

    Considering the Guardians of Order has shut down and the BESM license has moved on, what are good websites available to support BESM D20? Specifically, I'm curious if there is a lively forum culture for the game anywhere or just a collection of house rules and other additions.

    Campaign Setting Drama... aka Should I move my campaign to the FR?

    Howdy ENWorld, So I'm DMing with a new group (well, the salvaged remains of my old group along with at least half new players) and we've decided to start up a new campaign that isnt meant to be too complex. At first, I started to cobble together a homebrew setting that featured some...

    Howdy friendly Enworlders, A lil over a year ago I posted on these forums looking for a fast and fun ruleset to run a mythical gods type game where players got to create a world and then manage their divine portfolios. That world has since grown and gone through a number of changes - and the...

    [3.5e] Lookin for players, 8 PM to Midnight EST Wednesdays

    Hey ENWorld, I'm a longtime 3e DM, though I've only ever run games online with the same group that I broke into D20 with. Over the years, we've had a bit of player drift and have been unable to fill the ranks, partly due to my nervousness with new players. See, I currently run a homebrew...

    Dungeoncraft - is it worth the price of admission?

    So I've read some of the old dungeoncraft articles (dont ask me which ones, it was some time ago) and I found them useful in helping to put together a campaign setting. However, I havent really picked up an issue of Dungeon since Polyhedron left (I'm not interested in modules, not that they are...

    Action Points, which system to use?

    I'm getting ready to run a couple of 3.5e DnD solo games and I'm looking to let my player have some extra heroics. I know there are a number of sources for action points, but I'm not sure which is best to use? Does anybody have any good anecdotes or advice on the different action point systems...

    New PrC: The Dream Knight

    This is a PrC based on a dream one of my players had, and we thought it might be fun to make into a prestige class. This takes into account the Region of Dreams from the Manual of the Planes, and a template to create nightmare creatures (giving them the subtype nightmare, which is what triggers...
