TL;DR: Need some system-less ideas on a good beginning adventure for level 1 D&D characters for 4-5 brand new RPG players. Full Story: Okay, so I moved to Portland, Oregon on the 1st, leaving behind my gaming group (and close friends and family). However, my best friend does move here, and I've...

Another thread made me think of this again, but I didn't want to derail that thread. AoO are basically attacks made against openings that people leave. That makes sense. So, a question: what would it look like if we tried using a little more "common sense"? And I don't mean "realism" or...

Last month, I was in a car wreck, which caused me to create this thread: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?353440-Scary-Moments A week ago, I got a call from pseudo-collections trying to get me to pay for the ambulance ride after my accident. I'm covered, but I had to go to some...

So, I got in my first major car wreck last night. I was driving straight, and someone turned left (on a yield on green) and slammed into my car right at the front left tire (driver's side), totaling both of our cars. I remember the hit, but there was about a one second moment immediately after...

Any idea what this means? Was I quoted into a private group or something?

Any way to get rid of the announcement? If not, is there any way we can get that in a week or so, after it's been up for an entire month?

So, tonight I ran my first 4e session, and it went really well. Long play report to follow, which took place over about six hours of play time. The party consisted of four PCs (more information at: http://this...

Okay, yes, it's me. For the regulars here, it might seem odd that I'm starting a 4e game. Shot explanation: I just moved in with some new folks at the beginning of this month, and after being jealous of my gaming habits over the course of this month, they convinced me to run a game for them...

I've seen a few people mention Pathfinder (or 13th Age), and it looks like it's automatically linking to filters with that tag. Is there any way to avoid this automatically happening? It kinda bugged me a while back with 5e (which also used Next, etc.). I'd totally go for a "my account opts out...

Anyone else have notifications show up (like when someone replies to you), and when you click the notifications, there's nothing but a blank section under the "Quotes" tab? Clicking on the notifications gets rid of the alert, but I can't see who replied to me. This happening to anyone else?

I just got a notification for a "New Subscription Thread" or something like that (a notification of when someone posts to a thread I'm subscribed to, I think). Two things. One, I've never had this notification before (and would rather avoid it, if possible). Two: the thread hasn't been posted in...

I'm not sure where I should post this, but Meta seems the most appropriate. I do want to be clear, though: I am not complaining about posts being moderated. I've had issues only a couple of times in the past 20 months, and both times I've taken it to private messages. My issue, though, is that...

There's been some mentions recently of dynamic chart rolls (someone linked Monsters and Manuals: Dynamic/Nested Encounter Tables recently). The rolls on these charts are supposed to help set up a situation. And, they're supposed to grip you from the get-go, making you ask "why is this...

So, when the New Horizons forum opened up, things were pretty civil the first couple of days. I mean, there were a few posts here and there that I considered a little over the line, but overall it was nice and friendly. People talking about what they wanted in the new edition, what they didn't...

So, I was reading the "female GMs thread" a moment ago, and I was wondering: out of your regular group, how many people "regularly" GM? That is, I'm not wondering how many people in your group have ever GMed, but how many have GMed in the past, and plan to again At Some Point In The Future? For...

Is there any way to set my standard setting to "no email notifications" or "do not subscribe" when posting in a thread? I know I can manually change it, but if there's a way to change my default choice, that'd be really convenient. Thanks in advance, and, as always, play what you like :)

Okay, so I really wanted to reply to something that Rechan wrote in the Player: "I need to level up so I can do cool stuff!" thread. However, I didn't want to derail the thread before it even hit its second page, so I'm "forking" it early, and going to present it here. Here's what I want to...

So, I've heard complaints that the 3.5 grapple rules are cumbersome to most people. As someone who has always found them pretty straightforward, can anyone please help me out and point out some common dislikes? Also, if people have a problem with certain aspects (size factors in too much, etc.)...

When I run my game, I don't have the PCs as inherently superior. They begin on the low side of average (1st hit die, in this case). They have average attributes when compared to NPCs (although they could potentially spike above average, since I roll stats). I know that many people play games...

When I GM, I don't have my players be the Heroes. By "Heroes," I don't mean 'altruistic good guys'. I mean, 'the setting does not revolve around them'. They are but a few humble characters in the world. Now, the plot seems to revolve around them, because it's all they interact with. While it...
