    [Stargate SG-1] New world and antagonists -- how do they sound?

    I've had an idea for a world and new antagonist for my new group. Here we go: P5X-8RH Feudal society where kingdoms are constantly skirmishing (based on the Conan writings of Robert E. Howard). One kingdom, led by a "man-demon" calling himself Amon, is the most aggressive. Amon appears to...

    [Spycraft] More realistic, politcal intrigue-ish game?

    I've gotten re-addicted to MI-5 lately, what with A&E showing Series 3 and Series 2 just hitting DVD. My friends have asked that I run an espionage game more like that, and I'm trying to decide if I can use Spycraft for that. If I can, what (if any changes) should I make? If not Spycraft, is...

    Opinions on Gygax's "Insidiae?"

    The title says it all... I did this over at RPG.Net too... I'm really interested in this one, but money is a bit tight and I'm not sure if it would be worth it... any thoughts?

    Campaign idea -- now with an invitation

    Raven, that idea sounds pretty durned cool. I've gotten complete character ideas from three of you now, I just need to hear back from the fourth and see what they're playing, then I'll make the announcement of who's playing what and tell you how to do stats and stuff. Shouldn't be more than...

    Campaign idea -- now with an invitation

    Believe me, I learned my lesson. No more experiments like that outside of the online realm. Should work well for this PbP, though. Raven and resistor -- my email is ftjarome42@aol.com -- send me your character ideas there. 2 down, 2 to go...

    Campaign idea -- now with an invitation

    Guess I should mentioned that part -- i work in retail, so my schedule isn't anything consistent. Pretty much, we'd get it worked out so that as long as everyone posted a few times a week -- just enough to keep their story flowing -- we'd be okay. The nice thing about the structure I want to...

    Campaign idea -- now with an invitation

    So, we tried this out yesterday... utter failure. My players just weren't into it, and I was having an "off" day to boot. So that experiment didn't work. However, I had an idea... Anyone here interested in a play-by-post game? It of course wouldn't use the same characters or plot, but the...

    Campaign idea -- now with an invitation

    I always wing the side-quests. I'm pretty good at the improv stuff, and my players somehow always manage to veer off of not just the main plot, but also any side plots and even extra throwaways I came up with. Therefore, it's best if I just make stuff up in those circumstances -- it normally...

    Campaign idea -- now with an invitation

    Vindication that it sounds decent and isn't a bunch of ideas hurled at a wall in the hopes that something sticks, I guess -- I'm real insecure about my games, especially in the early stages. So DOES it sound decent?

    Campaign idea -- now with an invitation

    *** If any of my players happen to be lurking around here, please God, stop reading this post!!! *** I'm starting an Eberron campaign on Sunday, and I'm trying to get some of my notes all nice and finalized so I can make with the statting. I've got five people in my group, all with good...

    I'm now the overlord of EVIL!!! (The World's Biggest Dungeon! Now with mini-review!)

    So I have to ask... how port-able is this? I mean, can I just yoink sections of it and place it in another world? I ask because I'm starting an Eberron game soon, and need some dungeons for them to explore once they embark on their main quest... would this work for that, or should my $100 go...

    Experimental play: non-party structure

    I'm looking at starting an Eberron game with my group soon. We're about to indoctrinate two newbies, so I'm gonna have a 6-person group. And I was thinking, this would be a good time to try an experiment. I've been watching a lot of TV on DVD lately -- mostly Buffy, Stargate, and 24. This is...

    [Attn: Writers who wanna write for Eberron] Plot workshopping?

    I posted my summary up over on the WotC boards, and it got utterly bashed almost immediately. However, I happen to be a glutton for punishment, so here it is over here, too :) And yes, I know there's a ton of cliches in here. That's what pulp's all about. Plus, I think I can use them all...

    [Eberron] The War-Torn novel proposal thingie

    I did this over at RPG.Net too, but I figure the more help the merrier... So anyone else around here thinking of entering this, just for fun? There are days I think I'm a good writer, and days where I don't -- my fiance says I am, and what the hell, if it's just for fun, I may as well try it...

    [Updated 7/5] Latest update on my FR game: as ever, opinions wanted

    Barring an act of an angry, vengeful God, we should be playing again on Sunday... and it should be good. Here's what's on tap: The forces of Cormyr attack Sembia, seeking retribution for the attack on their king. During the course of the battle, it is revealed that former War Wizard turned...

    [Midnight] Preliminary notes for my new campaign -- could use some help

    I ran Midnight once before, and we ran through Crown of Shadows... this new game contains some of the same players, but not all, plus a new one, so I'm treating it as a "sequel" but with different characters. So here's what I've got... The elves of Caradul has received the means necessary to...
