LINKS to CHAPTER 2: Death of a Sea Captain Start of Chapter 2

Hello DH, Here is a link to the campaign summary. If you'd like to see something more detailed, let me know. In addition, be sure check the posts that are linked in "My PbP Games" in my signature that contain a table of contents for each chapter. I've completed the listings for chapters 1...

As I am organizing the information for our re-start of the BtMoM campaign, I'm re-reading and creating an index for each chapter. The explosion and everyone's reaction to the fire on the pier are priceless! And wierdly funny in some instances... Link to explosion thread J.

OK, based on input from the two of you, I'll take a look at Play@YSDC site and I'll also consider using the BRP ruleset as I'm reorganizing. A number of years ago, Paul of Cthulhu allowed me to place a "call for players" on YSDC asking people on YSDC to consider playing in my EnWord BtMoM game...

DH, I've decided that the best way for me to get things going again is to re-read all of the the threads and to organize and simplify the campaign's information into something like a table of contents. If you click on the "My PBP Games" link in my signature, you'll notice a few changes in how...

"That is not dead which can eternal lie..." It's good to see that you both are active, DH and Strahd! DH, I also occasionally return to this story, these threads, reading and smiling, which is how I've stumbled upon your somewhat-recent postings. I loved what we created and still marvel...

I run "one-shot" horror adventures for my players near Halloween each year. Since I don't want to get bogged down with new rules for a one shot game, I use the Dread system (very simple, very fun) which uses a Jenga tower to build the tension. Over the years, we've had alien attacks, 2...

Hello TS, I cheated and looked in the book "Nightmares of Mine" by Ken Hite for a couple of additional ideas. Here are a couple of items (non-supernatural) that resonated with me: 1. The grotesque - maimings, mutations, deformities, and even birthmarks... The grotesque can also show up in...

The PF grapple rules seem to be a bit easier to follow than D&D3.5, and more logical in some ways, so yes, they're improved somewhat. You should also be aware that, IMO, the PF grapple rules are still fairly complicated and could use a bit more streamlining by Paizo. To give you an idea of...

So many great modules... I can't pick one, sorry, but here's best that I DM'd and that my players still talk about to this day. - The orginal "Ravenloft" for its amazing gothic setup, 3D mapping, and iconic vamp; - "Baba Yaga's Hut" from Dragon Magazine by Roger Moore - this introduced my...

For a pbp game that I've been running using d20 COC, I added and adjusted a few feats from d20 Modern so that characters who concentrate on intellectual persuits will have more interesting development options. http://www.enworld.org/forum/2554113-post9.html Your players might find these...

To keep the creative streak alive, I look for ways to modify and enhance my AP's around the desires of my players, sometimes significantly rerouting the main railroad while keeping the trail of clues intact. My players all have special items that they crave (e.g. a dancing sword and boots of...

I'm with Ranger Wickett on this one. I use an AP as a roadmap where the the players can get off the main highway for a time, wandering on the secondary highways or backroads for as long as they like, but I adjust the AP to subtly steer them back onto the main highway as they go along. My...
