    Gods I would love to get involved with something like this. Sadly I'm in Alaska so 6pm to 11pm for you is 2pm to 7pm for me. Anyway, good luck with your game.

    Bump If You're Tired of [insert reason]

    So far I'm loving 4th edition. Now if only Amazon would ship my gift set. All I have right now is the Keep on the Shadowfell and the Player's Handbook.

    Looking for players in Anchorage Alaska.

    I am interested in starting up a 4th edition game in Anchorage Alaska. I have three players currently; my wife and two friends. We would like to pick up two additional players. The group ranges in age from late 20s to early 40s. While I have plenty of gaming experience I am willing to work with...

    Amazon delay notice :(

    Grrr... I preordered the gift set from Amazon.com on Febuary 7th and it is being delayed. And my local game store doesn't have any of the gift sets nor does my local Barnes and Noble. Oh Great Gygax why did you abandon me? Do I not roll the dice every weekend? Do I not let the PCs die when it...

    Amazon Orphans unite!

    Amazon.com does seem to be down. And all I wanted to do was cancel my pre-order of the gift set.

    D&D 4E 4E: BBEG's Redemption?

    I used this to great effect once. 2nd edition the party was hunting down a legendary white dragon. They found her lair and made their way part a number of traps to find her sleeping on a huge pile of treasure. They unleashed every powerful spell and magic item in an attempt to taker her down...

    WotC_Rodney on Ari M. and Al Qadim

    I love Al-Qadim. Always have and always will. The best use of kits ever!

    I like it when my PC dies! Share your coolest death!

    My favorite PC death ever was in a 1st edition game. My paladin was around 12th level. His noble brother-in-law was tricked by a devil into opening a gate to Hell pulling him into Hell in the process. My paladin stepped through the gate and pushed his brother-in-law back through the gate. With...

    Game Hybrids That Should Not Be

    Sorry, the one true role-playing game is Amber Diceless. All others are simply imperfect shadows. :)

    skyrealms of jorune... any good?

    I have both the second edition box set and the third edition from Chessex. I love the setting and the art. I actually like the system in the box set. Character creation is excellent and combat is deadly. Character advancement, however, is not well thought out. If you pick up the third edition...

    [LotR] EN World Kinship

    Is there an EN World kinship already setup in Lord of the Rings online? If not, would anyone be interested in joining one on Arkenstone?

    Lord of the Rings Online

    I'm having a blast playing as well. On Arkenstone I have all five character slots full. Most likely I'll pay the $199 for the lifetime subscription. Some of the quests are eh, but others are wonderful. Heck, I love just wandering around looking at stuff. I loved climbing to the top of...

    RPG humor on xkcd

    Heh. That reminds me of a modern Call of Cthulhu game I ran long ago. The action was taking place at a gaming convention and the PCs were participating in a D&D game. The Mi-Go had devised a way to tap into the mental energies of the players. Half of the game took place in the Dreamlands. It...

    Order of the Stick #407!

    Okay, four of the gods are facing clockwise - Rabbit, Snake, Monkey, and Rooster. The others are facing counterclockwise. Does this indicate disagreement among the gods as to her punishment? Or am I reading way too much into the artwork?

    Eric Noah, stay out of this thread. Everybody else, hop on in.

    I don't post often, but I lurk and read. ENWorld is the reason I tried 3rd Edition D&D. This is where I come to learn about what is new and what is good. This community is where I can relax and enjoy reading. ENWorld is, as my wife said, "the Shire of the Internet."

    Love and gaming

    I met my wife in the Commons at the University of Alaska Anchorage. I was a returning student (age 30) and she was traditional freshman. We started talking and eventually the topic of gaming came up. As we were both currently without a group, I started up an Al-Qadim game. The first session of...

    Dragon Shaman - Gimme something to go on here...

    In the campaign that I've been running dragon shamans are available in two cultures. Only one of these cultures is available as PCs however. Here is how I explained them: Dragon shamans worship Brother as the source of life. They revere dragons as the ultimate expression of Brother’s power...

    New "What sort of RPG player are you?" poll (this one by Charles Ryan)

    Overall that's right, however, I expected my Tactician score to be higher. I love complex combats and using varied character abilities to overcome challenges. Sadly no one else in my group is like that, this results in some problems when I DM. :(
