I've thought of doing this before. It seems like a cool idea. Another thought I had for a smaller area is to play a game of Settlers of Catan and record the board at the end using that as your campaign setting.

I homebrew setting and adventures, only using published rules. I've made all my own adventures since the 1980s. In the past I've used published settings but the last couple of "big" campaigns I've run have been in homebrew settings. I've been considering a published setting for my next...

I was pretty sure it was mental and that's the consensus we came to during the game but it's nice to hear what others think.

"Ivanhoe" and "The White Company"?

This came up during our game today. Specifically, is the communication mental or verbal? If you are the target of a sending, do you "hear" the message in your head? Do you actually hear it? Does it appear in big flaming letters in front of you? Do you get to see an image of the sender...

It was a dark and stormy night! Suddenly, a shot rang out! The maid screamed! Roll for initiative!

This: Plus this: Describe me pretty well. Even once I get done agonizing over things, getting it on paper in some coherent form always give me trouble. I've got all kinds of cool stuff in my head either waiting to resolve all the details or to actually get on paper.

It's been a long time since I bought any miniatures. Who are the major miniature manufacturers these days (besides Reaper and Games Workshop, that is)? Is anyone making pre-painted minis that you don't have to buy in randomized packs? Thanks!

I was just looking through the Reaper site and I couldn't find any minis for horses. I found various familiars, but no mounts (though I may be missing something). Is there anyone making such figures anymore? Thanks!

I remember seeing some miniatures sets a long time ago (10+ years). What made these sets different is that the set was a standing "PC" figure, a mount and a version of the standing figure that was sculpted to sit in the saddle of the mount. Basically, this let you have a set for your PC that...

Very much so. When I was in my teens and 20s, my father, stepbrother and I used to go hunting out in west Texas. We were 20 miles from the nearest "town" and it had maybe a dozen buildings total. There was virtually no light pollution at all. The sky was spectacular! In the evenings, I'd...

Every once in a while, my slight paranoia about being snuck up on pays off. They weren't the only ones who were surprised. I thought we were going to be toast but the combination of our various pets and the summoned animals turned the tide quite effectively. Of course, I'm starting to wonder...

If they're going to raise Roy, they better get to him before Redcloak turns him into some sort of wierd undead under his control.

Perhaps we get to see Roy's Grandfather in the afterlife. I think that's the ancestor who originally wielded the family sword.

The original EQ was pretty soloable up to about the mid-teens so I'd be interested in hearing how things go in the 20s and up. That's different from a lot of the stuff I heard early on. One thing was that they were explicit about only being able to change spheres in town. It's not...

Feel free. :)

Yeah, you'd want to develop the orcs so that they're not mundane, everyday cannon-fodder orcs. That said, orcs would only be one foe. A lot of what you'd be facing would be undead of various kinds that came from the dead orcs, their slaves and the guardian creatures they kept along with...

Well, one thought would be some progression toward something like a point based magic system.

In my homebrew, one of the things that I defined but which never really came up in play was that sorcerers were basically "primative magic" and wizards were "advanced magic". Sorcerers were basically people who were born with a natural ability to use magic that would manifest as they grew up...

I don't generally use dungeons all that much, but when I do it's typically old tombs, secret hidouts for cultists and things like that. I did have a dungeon idea I rather liked a few years ago. I was creating a section of my homebrew world when I came up with a backstory about orcs. There...
