Can anyone provide some links and recommendations for online gaming environments that would work in running a 4e game? I searched around and found some that appeared to be setup for 3.5 Some old time gamer friends that I used to play with waayy back in the 1e day (we all now live in different...

I have been given a challenge by members of my gaming group (I am DM) to introduce Dwarven Pirates into the campaign. I have some good ideas but thought I'd post the question here for some fresh ideas people maybe could give me. My initial thought was to develop an island off the coast, maybe...

understood that the Mongoose RQ makes some changes to the game not everyone likes, but are the 'broken' aspects of it fixed with the errata? I understand the system itself is a bit different, with some changes that are not liked by some players, but are the broken things taken care of, or not...

Good topic and good stories! This one is about 10 years ago or so, so the details are a bit sketchy, but you'll get the basic idea. We were playing a standard D&D game and one of the players always, without fail, would play a Gnome Bard, he would never get into combat and did nothing really to...

Back in High School (AD&D Days) we did a short campaign (lasted a few months) where we had some sci-fi characters who went to the D&D world in a starship (think Star Trek) and the beamed down but were stranded there... We came up with stats for phaser pistols, and gave characters a hand held...

Thanks for those links, I skimmed over the RQ history one and it looks really good. I am going to read it all over tomorrow. D.

Dang, I was holding out some good hope for the Mongoose RuneQuest, the PDF previews I saw looked pretty good. I am a bit bummed there is negative reactions to it because it seems like it is going to be kind of hard to track down the old versions of the game I used to play (the one before AH's...

Thanks for the reply and info RFisher, I assume the strange layout of the reprints is because the pages are printed next to eachother? Making the book longer than taller? I don't that would bother me too much... I think I've decided to go with the new Mongoose version as the version we'll...

Plane Sailing, thanks for the reply and info... I did read elsewhere that there was an issue with the Mongoose RuneQuest with skills hitting over 100% or something (not quite sure the deal since I haven't read any of the rules on it myself), you mentioned it needs some major errata, but did you...

Thanks for the links... In looking over all of the info from you and previous posted, I can say almost certainly that I played RQ2 and the original Classic Traveller. Right now, I am considering going with the new Mongoose versions and possibly picking up the original reprints. D.

Excellent links Achan hiArusa, that is exactly what I was looking to read on the Mongoose version of RQ. Thanks! D.

Thansk for all of the posts about Traveller, it has given me a lot to look into. I am leaning towards going with the Mongoose version, although I wouldn't mind getting the reprints of the classics as well from the Marc Miller website. Question for those of you who have purchased the reprints...

The last line is a classic... thanks for posting. D.

Thanks for your info and that link, that site looks like it has a lot of good info for me to read though! I'm leaning towards going with the Mongoose RQ and Traveller because I have read only positive things about them, and they seem quite easy to get. D.

I am picturing this secret shop to be run by a retired thief, maybe back in 'his day' he was one of the most wanted in the areas, perhaps he is still wanted and thus the reason for the shop being a secret, only known the the secret society of thieves in the area. Maybe to role play him a bit, he...
