I've had mixed results with skill challenges--I love them on paper for certain things--but in practice, I find they fall pretty flat with most of my game groups. It's entirely possible that I'm just not that great a DM, or that I'm just not setting them up / narrating them especially well. My...

Scrivener is awesome!!! Great program, though I don't use at the game table. Since the monster manual isn't out yet, and all we have are PDFs, I've been just using those or typing up a stat block and putting whatever block I'm using right near the rest of the encounter in my notes. Edit- to...

TracerBullet42 replaced everyone's events with Synnibar and otherwise ruled gameday with the iron fist of a tyrant. Be careful who you deputize next time, buzz... ;) I think we had yet another successful one for the books. Many thanks to my esteemed GM in the morning, TB42 for another fun...

Hey gameday, running late but I'll still be there for both games!

I converted my twice-monthly 4e game over to 5e as soon as the PHB came out. I was getting tired of the very lengthy combats. Homebrew setting. Looking forward to MM for more examples of monsters on which to base converting some 4e monsters, and the DMG for any of the advice it will have on...

I saw that on Piratecat's twitter feed and will probably buy it sight unseen. Love FS.

I found inspiration for some kung fu action and will be running a slightly modified Feng Shui scenario I found online called Heart of Darkness. (I'm re-naming it for my own nefarious purposes though) Name: Rumble in the Jungle Game: Feng Shui Afternoon slot, any table, 6 players...

I should clarify: I need to run my event in whatever slot will allow me to play in Ghostbusters. ;)

Hey buzz, I’ll take a morning slot for now. Undecided on what I’m running, but Numenéra or Feng Shui are front-runners.

Yes, still only for windows-I have a windows partition just for games and campaign cartographer.

Alright, sure! Disclaimer: I've made a similar post before, so cribbing from that old post heavily, and I'm sharing some screenshots that I took several years ago. Curio has seen two or three upgrades since then, and is a much, much better program as a result of the changes. I'd just take...

I've never found a truly RPG-centric electronic aid, but use very happily several programs at the table. Full disclosure: I'm a Mac guy. 1. Curio by Zengobi software. A "binder" for everything you might need about your campaign. Its "pages" are completely expandable, you can type or draw with...

Great discussion and ideas! :) I'm no language expert and none of my players are, so I'm sure your credentials (fake or real as they may be LOL) will suit my needs just fine. Many thanks, and feel free to chime in, anyone who knows these languages!

I like those pseudo-scientific names. I might run with those a bit since there's at least one research/detail oriented character, and several scholarly NPCs that might have information on the things. Thanks!

Aha! So I wasn't making things up then. Good! Thanks so much for the thorough reply. I like the suggestions. Madness wisp seems to fit well with how I've been describing them in game. Feel free to keep other suggestions coming in, though, folks!

Howdy folks! While I've tagged this as 4e, since the creatures made their debut in an issue of Dragon and have 4e stats, the thread is pretty universal in scope. One of the big enemies of my campaign so far have been fell taints--they're weird little creatures from the Far Realm that are the...

Thanks to all my players for putting up with my very poor knowledge of the Numenera system, and helping me kick its tires. I think I'm a fan of both the setting and the rules system, and I learned about what needs to happen to run the game well--thanks! Thanks to Josh and my fellow players for...

Truth be told there are a few more events that are really piquing my interest at the moment, (not that there's a lack of awesome in the 2nd slot, mind you), but especially the potential to break one of the biggest rules in the dresdenverse in your morning game, buzz... But, as I'm all about...

Pffft. I only give friends a dollar when a random number table tells me to do so.

Well if TB wants it to happen... ;) buzz, unless you have strenuous objections, please do move my event to the afternoon.
