    "Your Notifications" ... ?

    Is it possible to disable the "Your Notifications" entries drop-down, in whole or in part? It's pretty annoying, and since it doesn't go away from clicking on it (only from actually following one of the links), it's actually kinda useless. It didn't bother me when it was just XP notifications...

    [SF Bay Area] One-shot on 3/12 from 2 PM to 7:30 PM ...

    I'm looking for up to three players to participate in a one-shot Pathfinder adventure (7th-level characters provided) on March 12th, from 2:00 PM to 7:30 PM, at my home in Daly City. Beginners welcome. If interested (or if you have questions), please email jeff dot wilder at yahoo dot com

    Free adventure! ( ... with caveats)

    I have an adventure for 7th-level PFRPG PCs. This is an adventure I originally wrote for 3.5, but I've now converted it an updated it for PF. The caveats: (1) Being intended as a convention game, it's linear and rail-roadish. I think the rails are hidden fairly well, especially with a good...

    GenCon Event - An Old School Adventure

    A couple of years ago I ran this adventure as a 3.5 farewell at GenCon, and it seemed to be very fun for everyone. As the name implies, I designed it to be as evocative as I could of the D&D experiences I've had since I was young. It's straightforward and cliches abound, but there are little...

    HELP! High-tech villain's base?

    Rather than reinvent the wheel, I figured I'd ask here. Does anyone have maps for a high-tech HQ/lair? Suggestions and links for PDFs, free or not, would be great, too. Underground would be ideal, but I can likely adapt something above-ground. It of course doesn't have to be specifically for...

    Iron Man 2 (Blu-ray) for $10 ...

    Amazon.com. (Note that I don't work for Amazon and this isn't an ad. It's just super-cheap and I figured geeks like me would be interested.)

    GMS - How do you handle Knockback?

    Do you just handle it on an ad hoc basis? What powers/descriptors can cause knockback? When do they? When don't they? (I'm not talking about comparing Damage to Toughness for the Knockback modifier, BTW. I'm talking more generally.) I finally settled on "I decide if a power can cause...

    Have you ever driven a player from a game?

    The question is mostly self-explanatory, but I will clarify that I mostly have in mind "a largely unobjectionable player," with the implication that your behavior was ... not ideal. This will come as a universal shock to the reader (you may want to be seated), but I can be an abrasive guy...

    NPC creation trends?

    Recently I felt like I've been losing a handle on the details of my M&M campaign (mainly because of my propensity to improvise quite a bit and write notes on literally any flat surface), so I've started synthesizing a "Master Campaign Log." It's got entries for superheroes, supervillains, NPCs...

    Pathfinder 1E [SF Bay Area] Seeking one player each: M&M and Pathfinder ...

    We have two alternating Sunday games (Pathfinder and M&M), and could use a player for each. (Each game currently has a GM and four players.) Each game runs from 2 PM to 7:30 PM (sometimes ending a bit earlier). Beginners are welcome in both games; you should be familiar with face-to-face RPGs...

    Wow, do I hate rolling for stats!

    Pathfinder game, I rolled what would be 11 points in point-buy. Everyone else rolled between 15 and 20 points, except the guy who rolled about 28 points. I went from feeling enthusiastic to feeling like my character might as well be named The Gimp.

    Quick Witch questions ...

    (1) I'm sure the answer is "yes," but witches can be male, right? This is a case of an unfortunate illustrative pronoun. (2) Are hexes time limited, beyond specific descriptions?

    BattleTech - Charging question ...

    I played a lot of BattleTech as an undergrad, about *cough* years ago, but we're relearning the rules for some casual play now. Charging seems to be absurdly powerful. Number of hexes moved times 1 point for every 10 tons of mech weight (to defender), just 1 point per 10 tons of weight (to...

    Pathfinder 1E Seeking Pathfinder online game ...

    If you're like me, you know it can be difficult to find a stable group online. If you're an online GM, I can't promise you a stable group, but I can promise that I'm a dedicated player. If I agree to a day and time, I'll make 95 percent of sessions, barring only emergencies. I'll actually...

    [eBay] Hard-to-find D&D minis, 4E Tomb of Horrors

    The auction is HERE. Minis for sale are Chuul, Orc Druid, Orc Champion, Slayer of DOmiel, Cleric of Gruumsh, Archmage, and Artemis Entreri. Considering how quickly they sold, I guess I set the BIN on The Village of Hommlet ($40) and the Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting ($70) too low...

    Pathfinder 1E [SF Bay Area] Seeking one player each: M&M and Pathfinder ...

    When: Every other Sunday, 2 PM to 7:30 PM. (The M&M and Pathfinder games alternate Sundays.) Where: At my home in Daly City, about five miles south of SF and just barely north of Pacifica. Who: Currently four players plus GM. We've got room for a fifth player in each game. The Pathfinder...

    Castle Ravenloft boardgame questions ...

    We've played this game three times now (five players twice, three players once) and definitely have questions that don't seem to have been answered in the Unofficial FAQ collected at boardgamegeeks.com. First, a very general question/observation: The game seems too easy. In three games...

    [SF Bay Area] Seeking M&M player ...

    I'm looking for a M&M (2E) player to join a group of four heroes and the GM (me). I'm kind of a dick, but my players are truly great guys. The game is at my home in Daly City on every other Sunday from 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM. (This Sunday, 7/18, is an "on" session.) I'm looking for an...

    No Marketplace?

    Is EN World no longer providing a Marketplace forum? (If not, it's a shame. I sold a bunch of minis, very cheap, using it. And now I have a bunch of RPG books that will otherwise just go to Goodwill.) If I'm just overlooking the new facility (always possible), just point me that way.

    Are you a fudging fudger?

    Parameters: (1) Playing an RPG. (2) During combat or other adversarial outcome-resolution event. (3) The outcome resolution involves the rolling of dice (or other random result generation).
