Worked stone is fine as long as it hasn't been desecrated and the stone is larger than the druid. Really it isn't much of a restriction. A druid on a ship might have a problem unless he brings with several potted plants that he can tend. Plant life - grass, trees, and the like - has the closest...

My current campaign in set in Lyrian (one of my homebrews). I wanted magic to be integral to the setting and tied to the gods of the world. At the same time I wanted the gods to be somewhat remote - no avatars or direct action on the world. Into the place of Darkness came the Siblings of Light...

My favorite setting ever published was Al-Qadim. And no, Al-Qadim is not part of Forgotten Realms! That was a silly idea. Magic, religion, and Fate - all are different from those of Forgotten Realms. <sigh> I have always hated the way Forgotten Realms grew by tacking on other published settings...

That is an idea that I've been bouncing around in my head. Unfortunately for me, I like Mythic Europe - and that's been holding me back from going this route. Perhaps next year sometime I can try using Ars Magica in a more 'typical' fantasy setting. The slow pace is one of the things that my...

I love Ars Magica! I have all 5 editions and almost everything ever printed for it. That being said, I can't get my players to try playing it. Between their objections to Mythic Europe and objections to learning a new system it has proven problematic. Year ago I was part of an Ars Magica...

I guess the big questions are how long of a session are you looking for and how many players will you have? My group is limited to sessions of about four hours maximum. Because of that published adventures really don't work for one shots. If you're willing to do the conversions or simply run...

If you're willing to put a bit of work into it, a Call of Cthulhu adventure can work wonders as a one shot. I try to run one every year around Halloween. Here is what I do: 1. Come up with an adventure outline. This year the PCs are all members of the Miskatonic University Gaming Guild. They...

I have run games set in Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, the Known World (Mystara), Eberron, and several other published settings over the past 30 some years. Games set in published settings can be great fun to run. But player knowledge of the setting usually far exceeds character knowledge of the...

Lawful Good Dwarf Cleric Close second being Lawful Good Halfling or Elf (tied) Wizard On the ability score test Str 11, Dex 11, Con 13, Int 17, Wis 14, Cha 14. So I guess that I'm more suited for the wizard path. :)

I've been running Amber games off and on since it was published. Heck, I ran my first campaign set in the Amber 'universe' in the late 1980s using Lords of Creation. The players didn't learn about Amber for over a year real world time. Currently I am running an Amber Diceless game for my wife...

After the extended weekend, I have a few changes. Delete Enforcer Prime and Kinspeed from Virtue. Add Adama - Level 3 Natural Scrapper Martial Arts/Super Reflexes on Guardian Deltrino - Level 5 Mutant Defender Radiation/Radiation on Protector Finnian - Level 8 Technology Tanker...

Just head into Perez park and talk with the heroes hanging out by the entrance. See if you can get a CoT hunting team together. By the way, what server are you on? I'm currently in need of some CoT hunting with two of my characters.

I picked up the game on Sunday. So far my wife and I both love it. My characters are on Virtue. Enforcer Prime - Level 3 Natural Scrapper, Martial Arts/Reflexes Kinspeed - Level 5 Science Blaster, Energy/Energy

Thanks everyone! The network here at work is running very, very slowly. I was beginning to think that it was a problem at my end when I was finally able to get to ENWorld.

The subject asks it all.

Fewer. Make them customizable and stop worrying so much about 'balance'. In my homebrew there are three base classes: sorcerer (an instinctive caster based on the AU witch), talent (the skill monkey), and warrior (the combat expert). Characters are encouraged to multiclass and customization is...

Mark, I'm very interested in your game. I will send you a character later today.

Thanks for the help. I knew that it occurred before A New Hope as in that movie there are numerous references to the Empire, the Imperial Senate, and Imperial ships. Anyway, thanks again!

Does anyone know when, in the Star Wars universe, the Republic officially became known as the Empire?
