Pathfinder (5) in the morning and Swords & Wizardry OD&D (1) in the afternoon.

Take a look at Mutants & Masterminds. Looking at your post, it shares a lot of features with True 20, except it's point based. It might take less work to mesh that with UnMet. There's also a supplement to M&M (called Warriors & Warlocks) which adds material, like races and equipment, to make M&M...

I'd like to be in Voyage of the Golden Dragon (morning game 5).

I'm a GM who has been working on my own fantasy world since D&D started in the mid 70s. I'm looking for more people to play in a campaign I will start soon. My world, Vallaya, has high-powered magic which is widespread and well integrated into the society. It also has realistic mundane...

Location is in the suburbs. Two of us live in Mount Prospect, two are in Batavia, and one is in Aurora. The game location is likely to be Mount Prospect, but we can play in Batavia if that is more convienient for new players. Games typically go from a little after 5:30 pm to some time around...

Games are on alternating Saturday evenings in Mount Prospect. We start some time around 5:30 or 6:00 pm and go to about 10:30 or 11:00. Next game is on November 26th. Some of our players are in Batavia and Aurora, so car-pooling or an alternate site in Batavia are both possible if everyone...

A while ago I co-GMed what I'd call a heroic horror game (sort of a League of Extraordinary Gentleman) set in a very near future Chicago (the League was actually based out of the University of Chicago in Hyde Park). I was the primary GM but whenever the other GM wanted to run something, his...

I ran a GURPS home brew far future science fiction setting with another GM where we switched every one or two sessions. It worked moderately well. Each of us would run a short adventure, then the other person would run. Even though we collaborated to put together the setting, we ended up with...

I'm playing a Wu Gen in an FR game and having quite a bit of fun with it. So far it really is just a wizard with a slightly different spell list, but the differences do make it interesting.

The closest I ever got to reading Fantasy RPG novels was a few Warhammer 40K novels I read a few years back. (Though, of course, 40K is a miniatures game not an RPG, so technically, it doesn't count.)

or The Machinations of Madness and the Triumph of Reason in Eberron and Vallaya These are the logs from the campaign that I’ve been running over the last year or so. Most of the adventures so far have taken place in Eberron, but the players have recently discovered a new world, Vallaya, which...

Azatolaquoza (Azat) and Tonacacihuatl (Tonaca) are two cleric characters I’ve been playing in LordVyreth’s Consequences of the Quill campaign ( http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=81202 ). Azat was a human werejaguar ranger 2/cleric 13. Tonaca is an Aasimar cleric 15/Hierophant 1/Master of...

I was going to suggest a front-line fighter synergy build (or perhaps a quick-light fighter synergy build), but after reading all the posts I think you could do a really boss fighter type as a 9th level druid (and you get some cool range damaging spells and get to summon flanking bonuses).

Read the section in the Wikipedia article about stability. L1 - L3 are only marginally stable, while L4 and L5 are much more stable. You can keep an object at L1, L2, or L3 by continually adjusting the object to keep it "ballanced" at or around the point. Also note, the two objects which...

That's an interesting tactic your players are using. I think the real problem is your players have found a good tactic and are over-using it. You only have to foil the tactic a few times to get the players working on a new tactic. Here's one way you could tweak the next encounter without...
