We played our first time last weekend, and filled out questionnaires at the table. It took my players about a half hour.

Played it for the first time two weeks ago ( ran 'Under a Fiull Moon' ) with my kids ( 12, 15, 17 ) and my daughters bf ( 15 ). It went pretty well. I love how the tower creates tension. When all was said and done though, I think they prefer Call of Cthulhu with the BRP system. But they did...

I can't offer advice, I just love the idea of running a "Dungeon Keeper" scenario! Good luck and let us know how it goes!!

All i can say is my group is about half/half actually. In both variances of the group I run.

yikes, that sounds like he was forcing you to be "interested" in his game. I for one allow it to be pretty free-flowing. Granted, there has to be some reigning in once in a while when people aren't paying attention anymore, but when the rules are like being in school and everyone is scared to...

I've kinda felt that EBERRON has a sort of steampunky feel to it. Okay, so it's powered by magic, but still a medieval setting with airships and "trains" and other mechanical aspects you wouldn't normally see in the age D&D is typically set in. It kinda has that anachronistic feel Steampunk...

I've been using private events in Facebook. maybe not the most efficient, but at least it lets me know who has accepted and is coming and I can message out to everyone if anything changes.

While this thread does raise interesting points, I have to say it makes being a new GM (not to mention relatively new RPGer in general! ) quite intimidating. All I can say from a beginner's point of view is feeling a need to make sure my players are entertained and for sure knowing your...

Yeah makes sense. I mean even the "reward" for defiling doesn't seem great enough to bother to me otherwise. I see the "dark side" vs "light side" argument here too I guess.

Okay, so in the world of Dark Sun, Arcana Magic can be bad. It drains life energy from its surroundings. This is *very* cool ( and reminds me of Ben's power in the show Carnivale ). However, did I miss a paragraph or chapter somewhere on how this works in the game? What I mean is that yes...

Dread I know they are not their own game, but I have never had a chance to PLAY anything in Eberron or Dark Sun and would *love* to as I love the sound of the worlds.

It's funny, but I STARTED playing/DMing BECAUSE of them :). I mean I'd dabbled in school, but hardly ever played at all. A couple of months ago, my youngest was turning 12, I was looking for something that the whole family could play that we would enjoy. ( it also helps that my oldest had played...

I really like the BRP system for advancement. I find it makes it easy to have players pop in and out of games with their existing characters despite experience. ( whereas in a outright level based game, having a level 10 character playing with a level 2 character is just plain crazy ). And like...

This is so ironically funny to me as I'm having trouble getting all but two of MY game group to play D&D :) ... My youngest son and my wife both find all the tactical aspect of D&D "too long" and like the looser and scarier aspect of CoC. So it's hard for me to get a D&D game going. I've been...

Totally agree. I hate to admit, but I'm starting to tire of the traditional medieval setting ( in both tabletop and video game format ) and had never really read Eberron or Dark Sun stuff and was thrilled when I read both. Which is why I want to set a campaign there.

This sounds awesome and is actually what I really want to put together. My players don't hate combat, quite the contrary, but they do "prefer" straight up roleplaying. I want to put together something in Eberron ( or maybe Dark Sun ). Being a novice though, I had hoped to mine some adventures (...

Being very new at DM/GMing for my group, I've come to see how they are much more into the storytelling aspect. That being said, I'm looking to run an Eberron or Dark Sun adventure/Campaign. Even if I have to "convert" from previous editions, what adventures or campaigns would you say are much...

This is great! I *just* got into SWRPG ( ironically, now that it's no longer in production ) and have been playing with the DND character builder from Wizards. Having been spoiled, it's nice to see someone put out a pretty darned good homebrewed tool for character creation. Thanks so much!!
