    GM's anyone ever have a Female?

    I started playing D&D in middle school and high school in the '80s, and the only female player I can recall from then was my little sister (who played in my game for a while to spend time with my guy friends). I briefly had a couple female players in my college campaign, who were older then the...

    How big is your RPG collection?

    Mine is only Large, but I'll chime in anyway. I do a lot of GMing. I rarely go for too long without running something--usually only a few months at most, though I did have about a year-long hiatus from GMing when we had our 2nd kid. (My hiatus from playing was only a couple months.) I enjoy...

    Campaign Duration

    I tend to plan for campaigns of indefinite length, but I've also run several one-shots and "mini-arcs" of a handful of sessions. I've run three campaigns that lasted for 3 years: my college AD&D 2E game; a fantasy GURPS game; and the solo BESM game I'm currently running for my wife (my longest...

    How big is your RPG collection?

    p.s. These Colossal collections truly amaze me. I've been gaming for almost 30 years, and GMing for most of that, but even if I had the money and space for to buy them, I could never see myself owning that many RPG books--where would I ever find the time to read them all?!? :erm:

    How big is your RPG collection?

    I've just spent the past two hours updating my gaming library lists and counting books. :yawn: The total comes to around 180-190 (Large). That's not including magazines (only a handful after the last purge), books that belong to my wife (she recently edged into Medium), hard copies of PDFs...

    Not Enough Anime in 4e, on to BESM!

    I realize that this thread is a few months old (I haven't been on these boards in a long time), but I hope I can still contribute something of use. A few years back, I ran a mini-campaign (a half-dozen sessions or so) using BESM 2E in a fairly generic fantasy setting of my own creation. It was...

    Ask me about Egyptian Adventures: Hamunaptra

    I can't answer this for certain (not being an author or GR staff), but it's part of the Mythic Vistas line, and those normally do not receive supplements. However, there is at least one MV setting with independent support from the authors ("Buccaneers & Bokors" online mag, for Skull & Bones)...

    Freeport, Skull and Bones

    1) As you might know by now (assuming you got your copy of BSOF), Yarash is new. I don't own S&B, so can't say much on your other ideas. The trilogy probably works better with S&B than BSOF or HIF, since both of the latter deal with far greater magic (and weirder forms of travel). But you...

    Call of Cthulhu d20 out of print?

    Yes, all the material on the website was pulled. This included (IIRC) the character sheet (PDF), a short adventure (PDF), monster entries for Shantak & Y'golonac* (PDF), and a couple of bit that appeared in preview excerpts but were cut from the final book (Channeling feat and Star-Spawn...

    Post-a feature.

    Death throes: If a death's grip mantis is reduced to 0 hit points, it is destroyed, and explodes in a multi-colored blast of light. All creatures within 60 ft. must make a Fortitude save (DC 14) or be blinded for 2d4 rounds. Those who successfully save against the death throes effect gain a...
