    2DM's 2 Parties 1 Game

    I wanted to run a dungeons and dragons game for newbies. Of course I had a limited number of interested persons so I decided to increase my player base. When that happened I had a few self invitations, a few last minute additions, and in the end my measly 3 player group turned into a 13 player...

    An Idea for a creative Superhero build

    Mostly I was thinking about how I would run a superhero game, and I feel like I came up with a great way to level up and generate superheroes. First the player rolls stats and assigns them as if they are making a character without a class and at the same time (or even beforehand) the player...
