So it's been a few years since I've last played. I played online, I ran games, did a whole bunch... but then left my group and haven't played for about 4 years (I think). Since then, 5th edition D&D was released, the industry continued to develop, ways to play have proliferated, and now I feel a...

Dramatis Personae: Mortar Foehammer Yoshiki Akita Elenka Danyllova Vincenzo del Vecchio Tilsit arranges for a carriage to carry the four adventurers to Baron's Cross. The road is simple, flat, and the occasional sound or smell from the nearby swamp crosses the path. After about an hour...

Living Pathfinder is open for business! Living Pathfinder is a Living World-style adventure series, using Pathfinder (kind of self-explanatory, I know). One adventure is completed, two more adventures are being run as we speak, there is a fourth adventure waiting for players, and a number...

OOC: This is the thread for the Living Pathfinder adventure, The Green Faerie. Please check in, and I'll get the adventure started. DM: InVinoVeritas Characters/Players: Nathan Tchanlach / jkason Ta-Am-Ath / Walking Dad Willow Whitemane / Vertexx69 Alnar / Luinnar Markas Shieldheart /...

Fiendish Lords: Have you ever used them in a game? If so, how? If not, why not? Personally, I haven't. My games have almost exclusively remained low level (it has been over a decade since I've done anything above 5th level). So... I never felt the need to include one. But I'm sure someone...

Let's say you have a weapon in either hand. Are there penalties associated with attacking with one weapon only in a round as a standard action? How about if you attack with one weapon on your round, but use the other weapon for Attacks of Opportunity?

So, thanks to the bloodlines, there's a lot of ways to run a sorcerer in Pathfinder. How do you like yours? For the Living Pathfinder world here, I've started a half-orc aberrant sorcerer. Still not sure what direction to take him, but I've decided on this for a starting point: Kanli the...

So, I've been reading John Keay's The Spice Route: a History. It, once again, tickles my creative juices. It focuses on the spice trade across the Indian ocean and all the players in Asia, Africa, and Europe that made it so lucrative over the millennia. I'm seeing trips to unexplored islands...

Okay, here's the challenge: Post a song. Then, the next person has to come up with a character, place, society, monster, campaign, what have you, that uses that song as a theme song. Then post a new theme song. (Or just post music you like for others to develop, or just develop ideas from...

Okay, so I've been watching a lot of Heroes, Fringe, FastForward, and Darker than Black lately. In the wake of the economic crunch, everyone is kind of expecting something big to happen. The recent questions about the Mayan calendar ending in 2012 are in mind. So, with that in mind... The...

I'm starting a game of Birthright D&D in Northern NJ! The system will be either D&D 2e or 3.5e (not decided yet). The campaign will take place along the shores of the Tael Firth (Rjurik Taelshore and Anuirean Northern Marches). It will combine PBEM with FTF. Ask if you have any questions!

Forked from: Sexism in D&D and on ENWorld (now with SOLUTIONS!) This is a key point for me. There is always lots of talk of growing the hobby, and certainly sexism has been one of the stumbling blocks. The other thread has done a good job discussing that issue, so I won't go into it here...

Chapter 1: Pluck "Ah, Gis, please! Do come in, sit and enjoy!" Gis enters the great hall at D'Marosso Manor, set with a large table. The table is covered with food and drink, sights and smells from faraway lands. The table is filled with exotic delicacies. At the head of the table...

The Central Barracks of Paridon. “Please, come in. Close the door. My name is Gis, and I am Paridon’s head constable. Paridon is a den of iniquity. Predators prowl the streets, unclean things live in the sewers, and sin is the only being that walks freely. From the ill repute on the street...

I've started running two nostalgic games as 4e shows up everywhere. One is a 1e AD&D game, the other is a 4e Gamma World game. One of the big differences between the older games and games of now is random character generation. You're expected to roll attributes (and, in GW, mutations)...

Chapter 1: Hope The Hope Junk Shop The valley was always a rough place, its people resourceful. Hope had sprung up on the site of a tiny Ancient village--not much, just a little farm community. Everything that everyone needed was either grown or bred. Those that wanted more, had to scrounge...

Here is the Rogues' Gallery for the Walking Valley, a Gamma World campaign. I'll also put notes about the campaign here.

So, is anyone out there interested in Gamma World? Post-apocalyptic adventuring? Mutants galore? If there's interest, I'll run a 4th edition game. You don't need to know the rules, just be interested and let me know if you want to play a Pure Strain Human, an Altered Human (mutant), a Mutated...

Day 1, Firstmonth The sun dawns on a new day, the new year. The week of the Spring Equinox, called The Preparation, has just finished, and the world is beginning to show new signs of life. The last mounds of snow are melting in the gently warming air, and streams criss-cross the town. Yet...

Here is the list of characters for the Old School PBP campaign. Anyone can join!
