    play-by-post Swashbuckling campaign using rules from Unearthed Arcana

    Gar! Computer issues. Sorry about how long I took to respond. A Obsidian Portal is all that's required, I'm going to set up the site this week and we can use the forum there for communication.

    play-by-post Swashbuckling campaign using rules from Unearthed Arcana

    I had given up on this campaign due to lack of interest and was rebuilding it as 2e, but I'm definitely game to have a go with it as E6. Due to the season though I am putting off the start date until January 2. Until that date I can definitely work with prospective players on character...

    Nerfing rules in game

    I nerf stuff all the time but that ruling on glitterdust is ridiculous, that's the whole point of the spell. Might as well just delete the spell from existence, it's worthless now.

    Amusing House Rules

    Was in a Conan game where if a fight didn't take place by the end of a session one would spontaneously erupt no matter what the situation. Felt appropriate for the game. Was also in a campaign where all dragons meowed. This stemmed from an incident on the first day where a player forgot...

    Non-humans in a swashbuckling world.

    Changelings are a great idea, they fit the swashbuckling feel perfectly.

    Non-humans in a swashbuckling world.

    The monkey-men are, but the weren aren't. I don't mind a couple of anthros, but I don't want it to start looking like a disney cartoon.

    play-by-post Swashbuckling campaign using rules from Unearthed Arcana

    I'm putting together a pbp campaign and am looking for interested players. The premise: The rules; I only have one player so far and am looking for it to be a largish group.

    Non-humans in a swashbuckling world.

    I'm actually trying to stay away from anthropomorphism. Gatormen may work though, I'll have to think about them.

    Non-humans in a swashbuckling world.

    I'm going to be starting a pbp E6 game soon and was wondering what nonhuman races would spice it up some, I definitely want a lot of races due to campaign specifics (it's an ocean world that creatures stumble upon, the portal from Earth is the Bermuda Triangle.) I'm dropping elves because I...

    Ability scores - How intrinsic are they to D&D?

    Tackling - How intrinsic is it to football?

    stop sleight of hand pickpocketing?

    Carry around a bag of devouring. Or simply destroy him with the absolute most potent magic you have available as a warning against all future misconduct. Seriously, what kind of idiot rogue messes with a caster?

    Small Gods, Epic (Six) Heroes

    It's un-DND in that the gods are walking the Earth with mortals, directly receiving tribute. It's far closer to real-world myth, Conan, and a few other pulp fiction flavors than it is to DND with it's very vague detached gods who seem to serve no purpose other than being a way to cast spells in...

    Game worlds!

    My very favorite to be perfectly honest is Earth. Of course magic is real, nonhuman races exist, etc.; but it's still Earth.

    What stops WotC from *also* selling 3.5?

    There are plenty of people who will pay $35 for a nice, clean copy of the 2e PHB. Most of the books you'll find online are beat up and/or written in. I've never gotten anything in pristine shape online. I have, however, received books where the pages immediately fell out of the cover, the...

    I do want 5E (and 6E, and 7E...)

    I hate 4e, but I still hope they keep making more. I may love 5e, I may not; if I don't like it I won't play it. I'm perfectly happy with my 3e and 2e campaigns, but I'll still give anything new a look and maybe yoink a few choice bits.
