I'm in the Raleigh area (Apex), and I'm starting a new game. I've found that while there are plenty of people looking to play on weekends, getting players for a week night game is more difficult. We'll be playing weekly, either on Monday, Wednesday, or Thursday (the day to be decided once we...

New Role-playing heavy, Story heavy, Rules Light Game needs One or Two Players - Hook: If you play RPGs b/c you enjoy role-playing and story, and you absolutely can't stand rules lawyering, then this is the game for you. - Setting: Home brew. I use to say my world was a cross between...

It's actually not on a weekend. We play on monday nights. At any rate, I actually have a full table right now, but if a chair opens up I will let you know. Thanks!

I'm about to start a game in a world that has a Cthulhu feel to it: http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=200414 Let me know if you have any interest.

New Role-playing heavy, Story heavy, Rules Light Game about to start - Hook: If you play RPGs b/c you enjoy role-playing and story, you really don't care for the chess match that is 3rd edition tactical combat, and you absolutely can't stand rules lawyering, then this is the game for you...

Vessel of Stars – Switching to Cthulhu? Has anyone checked out wotc’s free adventure The Vessel of Stars? http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/oa/20001101a I’m contemplating whether or not to run this for my group, only with a twist. You see, IMC there is more inter-planetary travel than...

Ran it, loved it! I got a chance to run the group through this little adventure, and everyone loved it. When they first went into Ciona's dream and met the child, they asked for Nana. "She was bad, so you can't see her. Tell me a riddle." They told her a few that they could remember off...

The solution Ok, this is coming along nicely. Much props to jmichels for the ‘entering her dream’ idea and to noskov for helping me work out the details (outside of this post). Here’s what I’ve got: The shock and fright of the ritual that released the devil was enough that Ciona’s mind...

I should have clarified earlier that the party is low level and doesn't have access to spells like remove disease or wish. The party cleric tried a standard cure light on her, which had no effect. Likewise, the local NPCs do not have access to such spells. This village is quite remote and was...

OK, here's the situation. I have an npc that has lost it, is insane to the point where she can not, for the most part, be communicated with, and I want my players to have to find a way to 'bring her back.' Ideally this would be like solving a puzzle. There will be clues for them to piece...

Well, if I'm looking for just a collection of riddles, obviously there are better options. What I'm looking for is puzzles (including riddles and more), challenges, and/or tricks already incorporated into a dungeon, trap, encounter, or even whole adventure (like the Altered Images product). I...

OK, so I'm for looking around online for some nice puzzles/riddles to add to my game, and I come across Riddle Rooms from Cloud Kingdom Games: http://cloudkingdom.com/Products/Products_RPG.aspx I read the description of it, and I'm very intrigued. So I do what i always do before I make a...

I've been reading Nix's Abhorsen Trilogy, and decided I want to introduce the bells as magic items into my game. Check out what I've come up with below, and let me know what you think. Keep in mind that I'm not trying to run a game in Nix's world, just incorporate a new set of magic items...

Which book to buy, part 2 Thanks so much for the feedback on the two books! Here's a completely different question concerning them. If I wanted to run a one shot or two, just to play around and see how much I like gaming in the medieval world, which book makes it easier? I.e. which book...

Which book to buy? OK, I'm into this sort of thing, and I've been meaning to purchase ONE source book. I had heard from more than one person that Expeditious Retreat's A Magical Medieval Society: Western Europe was the greatest thing since sliced bread. So I'm reading this post, and there is...
