    Software for campaign managing

    I know it must have been said and done to exhaustion, but I can't resist creating a new thread, even if it's only to start posting again here ;) I've recently acquired a netbook with ubuntu linux, and one of the reasons I decided for a netbook over a laptop is being able to take it to my games...

    City of Brass

    Damned players :D I was DM'ing our Saturday night Legacy of Fire Pathfinder RPG game, and let's just say, to keep the thread as spoiler-free as possible, that something happened to the PCs that made me have to reboot/flashback the campaign. The players will have a new set of PCs...

    Pathfinder 1E Supplements to use with Pathfinder

    OK, let's say that, after August, you switch to Pathfinder. Or that you liked the Beta so much that it's your D&D flavor of choice by now. What 5 other "crunch" books would you take with you? I'm sold on Tome of Horrors and Book of Iron Might, but I'm not so sure about what else should I...

    Rulership in 3.x

    Forked from: The Changing Game I know there must be something out there. My players just acquired a fortress in our PFRPG campaign, and I'd like to throw at them some cool stuff about managing it and its surrounding areas, as well as some mass combat goodness which might be on its way to...

    What happened with true one-shots?

    It happened with 3.x, and it is happening again with 4e. As much as I like long term campaign play, I find it refreshing playing adventures which last just one session. Much of my high school time was spent (wasted?) playing many different rpgs, each one of them in the form of 3 or 4-hour...

    Non-WoD vampire games?

    Having just finished a True Blood marathon, I'm thinking about running a "vampire society" game, you know, the typical one where PC's are transformed into vampires and have to deal with their new situation and the vampiric traditions and problems, blah blah blah. The thing is, I don't like the...

    Help me write my character's story

    In some months' time, I'm being a player in a friend's OA/Rokugan campaign. The fact is, he's asking us for detailed characters' backgrounds, and I'm more of a "write a couple of sentences now, work out the details later" guy. So, I'm asking you to do the dirty work for me ;) My character is a...

    Starting hit points?

    I would post it on the Paizo playtest forums, but they don't have (or I can't find) a poll option, so here it goes ;) Which option from the ones proposed do you use for starting hit points in your Pathfinder 1st-level games? Is there a difference between what you do in PFRPG and what you do/did...

    When will the time be for a 3.5 retro-clone?

    I know that it's still quite easy to get the 3.5 core books, and that sites as The Hypertext d20 SRD (v3.5 d20 System Reference Document) :: d20srd.org make this not as necessary for the industry/community as OSRIC or Labyrinth Lord, but I like the idea of having a nicely bound single book with...

    What's your core?

    Now that 3.5 is officially dead (at least as "D&D 3.5"), we have the opportunity to fix a core set of books to use in our campaigns. So, which books are you using to play 3.5? I find myself quite comfortable with PHB/DMG/MM alongside with Tome of Horrors, Spell Compendium and Book of Iron...

    Classic for Basic

    After some one-shots, I've decided to run a short RC/LL campaign for my students (well, for some of them, at least). They'll begin at 1st level with 10 extra hp (I don't want to discourage them, so let's let them "win" ;)), and I'm looking for a good introductory module for 10-11 years old kids...

    Osric 2?

    Anybody knows when is it coming out? I want it for my D&D-esque rules collection ;)

    BECMI vs Rules Cyclopedia vs Castles & Crusades

    I'm planning to introcuce some non-rolepaying friends to D&D, and what better than going back to the basics? ;) I have the Rules Cyclopedia, and I'm wondering what are the differences between this and the 5-part set. Is it worth it to buy e-versions (I supposse they exist) of them or do I have...
