Question for all the GMs who create settings (or heavily modify published ones) for whatever system and genre: How much background / common knowledge do you write up or tell your players before you begin playing? Question for players: How much background / common knowledge do you want the GM to...

So I've been toying with this idea lately. I think it could work well as two in-person games, one in-person and one online (G+ Hangout, Skype etc), or both online. I am considering having two games themed thus: 1) Adventure -- modern setting, occult and magic influence pervasive but hidden...

Hey all, I'm about to start running a Savage Worlds (Deluxe book) three players (wife and another couple... my son is just a year old, so not yet.) We are wanting to play in Sundered Skies, and I have that book on its way to me now, but I'm hoping to get some feedback and advice for someone...

So I was browsing around Amazon, looking for used copies of OD&D box sets, and found, for $15, what I think is Basic Set and Expert Set... plus a second Basic Set? Not sure. Here's the description: "3 Box sets Dungeons & Dragons,basic Set Box in great condition ,all books included, Basic Set 1...

Hey anyone know what happened to the baby tshirt (or onesie) that ThinkGeek used to carry with the character sheet on it? It had everything at low numbers except CHA, which was ridiculously high, and awesome. I can't find it on ThinkGeek and a Google search has turned up nothing useful yet.

I'm sure the answers are staring me in the face, but apparently I can't search this forum since I'm not a subscriber (sorry, I'll get there eventually...) Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone has some pre-written resources to help me convert races, classes, and gear from 3.5 rules to Pathfinder for...

Hey all, I've not ever had a chance to play anything older than 3rd edition D&D. I have a broad exposure to all sorts of RPGs ranging from homebrewed to d20 games to Warhammer 40k and have read everything in between (dying to try Savage Worlds next.) Anyway, I'm very intrigued by OD&D and can't...

Hey all, what are your favourite (or interesting) RPGs with a focus out of combat? Or, without combat? I'm interested in playing and possibly developing a system and setting that would involve no combat, instead focusing on investigation in various forms. A fairly true-to-life type game...

Hey all, So I tried to run an Oracle tonight (Human, Flame mystery), at a Pathfinder Society event. We had a great time and I loved the RP elements of the class... But in combat I was absolutely useless. All the best spells I wanted to use are melee touch based and, well, having a STR mod of 0...

Hi all, I'm hoping there is a good number of N Texas gamers on here... I'm considering starting up some Pathfinder Society in the Grapevine area. I live in the north end of Keller, and have been to Area 51 a few times to buy books, dice, etc. Have only seen 4e being played there. Anyway, is...

Hey all, I've played my fair chunk of different systems, but I've only ever DM/GM'd 4th edition D&D and Dark Heresy. (Oh, and Kobolds Ate My Baby... but that's not really a DM-able game ;) ) So, for my first Pathfinder/3.x DM experience, I'm going to be running a one-shot as relief for my DM...

I've seen lots of threads on people coming from 3.x or even AD&D to Pathfinder or coming from 4E to Pathfinder... but what I've not seen much of is a discussion of how best to introduce Pathfinder to someone who's played no RPGs whatsoever. My wife has played one session of Pathfinder back in...

Hey all, I've recently moved to the Dallas area, specifically to Roanoke, TX, for a new job. Anyway, I'm without a gaming group and having a hard time dealing with that. I play D&D (3.5 and 4), Dark Heresy, Shadowrun... and I'm game to try anything new like SWSE, Pathfinder, etc. Please tell...

Wasn't sure if this is the right place or not for discussion of RPG props/handouts design... If i'm in the wrong place let me know ;) Just thought I'd share this: My players have just recently become official bounty hunters... by "official" I mean that they are authorised by the local...

Have any of you messed with this at all? I am really wanting to have a monotheistic organisation / faction in my setting. In fact, I almost want it to be as strong a religion as the polytheistic options. I am thinking that the people of this country/province will mostly be monotheists and...

I'm looking for help to build this new craft skill. Trying to keep it VERY simple. I need advice on DCs, especially. I'm very open to suggestions but, please, keep it civil and kind. I want help building this thing, not flames for the way I "messed it up." See attached PDF.

I am trying very hard to figure out how to go about my current pet project, a steampunk/fantasy RPG, without getting into legal trouble. I'm not well versed in GSL/OGL/etc and every time I try to read the licenses and any associated documentation I get a headache... So, I bring my question here...

I'm about half of a semester from getting my B.A. in English (with Honours) with significant editing and proofreading experience. I offer my services cheap or pro bono (for good causes) to edit anyone's work. If you're not making money off of your writing then I probably don't want to make...

So, I'm not actively recruiting or looking for a game to join but I would like to know if there are any ENWorlders in the West Tenn. area? I live in Henderson (near Jackson) and play with a couple of small groups but I know it'd be great to know of who all else lives near here and RPs. We play...

So I've seen Dalamar's Duergar creations, but I was wondering if anyone else had created one or expanded on that foundation? I'm working these fellas into a side trek I'm writing up and would prefer to see what stats other people have come up with rather than just throwing something together...
