Planescape - Divided We Stand • Chapter 1: The Drawing of the Five Reality is not always probable, or likely. Jorge Luis Borges "Weird tales, eh?" rasped the aging bard. "Yeah, I've got a few. Mind you, yer askin' a berk that lives on a giant, floating ring at the top of an infinite spire...

OOC • IC Please post/link/scan/chisel your character sheet in this thread for Hella_Tellah's Planescape: Divided We Stand. Please include your Keys!

RG • IC This game is currently full, but I will continue to accept applications for alternate positions from interested players. Welcome, cutter! Welcome to the worlds beyond your world, the great wheel of the cosmos. This is a great place! Where else can a poor sod mingle with mighty minions...

I've been thinking about character advancement and experience schemes recently, shopping around for the best advancement system I can find for the kinds of games I like to run. Which are your favorites? I really like Keys from The Shadow of Yesterday. Define what is important for your...

I'm somewhat new to 1e, so I might be missing something obvious here. I'm making a 1st-level Magic-User, and I see from my PDF of the OSRIC that he can be proficient in daggers, darts, oil or staff, and only one of those. I like the sound of throwing oil. Just one problem: how much damage...

Rain beat down on the lamp-lit streets of Altdorf, collecting in filthy puddles and soaking the boots of those few city-dwellers foolish enough to remain outdoors. In a time-worn slum of ramshackle tenements, the Laughing Goblin tavern glowed warmth and welcome. Ragged and agitated peasants...

The Pitch: Sandbox-style game of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, 2nd Edition. The game starts in Altdorf, but you can go wherever your rat-catching, bone-picking heart desires if you can scrape up a few Karls and find your way there. The game starts as soon as someone posts a complete character...

While roaming the wilds of the Internets for WHFRP stuff, I found this great article on how to improvise effectively. It uses a few Warhammer examples, but it's a great guide for any GM who wants to ditch their 3-ring binder full of notes and let the players lead the action. I started doing...

I just finished running a really successful game about steampunk monster hunters in Victorian London, and I thought I'd share my thoughts with you all. Why Did It Work? The game I ran, "Monstrosities by Gaslight," worked because I knew my players well, got them on board with the idea, and...

My semester-long game of Victorian monster hunters is drawing to a close, and I'm going to run a few one-shots of various light-hearted games until my players leave for Christmas. And I think I want to start with Paranoia. Tell me of your experiences with Paranoia! Advise me on how best to...

Legacy of the Stone Assembly Chapter I: The Cabal, The Quill, and the Concord That which kept us Asleep was no great power, no deeply hidden secret. It was the voice in the back of your mind that said, "Other people are taking care of me. God will see to my needs. The state will...

I had a player pitch a new character concept to me last night--unfortunately, it's pretty much the same as his last character concept. The guy always wants to play a character with multiple personalities. I just can't stomach another character with multiple personalities; it doesn't fit with...

I'm sure that 90% of us started out on some flavor of D&D. For me, it will always be my "first love" in tabletop gaming. Here's the question: what is your "second love?" When you first started branching out from the system you started gaming in, what's the first system that really clicked for...

Legacy of the Stone Assembly A Mage: The Awakening Chronicle For three hundred years, Boston's Stone Assembly kept order among the mages of New England. By the end of World War I, the mighty fathers of the Stone Assembly began falling, one by one. In 1917, Tobias Dalton, a master of...

Cubicle 7's website says Victoriana's 2nd Edition is supposed to be out in "Spring 2007". I've learned from forum posts and such that a few books were printed up as a preview and sold in London, but there's been neither hide nor hair of the book since then. But I want it so bad! The preview...

I'm thinking of running a game set in Victorian London, in which the players will be a team of monster hunters going after werewolves, vampires, giant steampunk robots, crazy science experiments, and other such weirdness. Is there a gaming system that would be well-suited to this kind of game...

I pre-ordered the 4th Edition gift set from Amazon back in February. Now my order is delayed until August 4th. Anybody else suffering through this? Is there anyone else selling the full set for around $60? I'm not really in the mood to give Amazon any of my money right now, but I'll wait to...

I've rolled up a Half-Elf fighter with two warlock spells--one from Dilettante, and the other with the Pact Initiate multiclassing feat. He uses a rapier Pact Blade for the spells and for fighter powers. So I axe you: Does Fighter Weapon Talent's bonus to hit apply to my warlock spells...

Part of my campaign setting takes place in a circle of eight islands called Hachishima, with monsters, kami (gods-ish), and adventure locales based on Shinto mythology. It also includes a few custom races, and I'm working on converting them to 4e mechanics. What do you guys think? Races of...
