Hi there, I'm fairly new to Melbourne and I'm looking for a new game to join. I'd also be willing to start a new group if there's someone else out there in the same situation as me! I'm happy to GM if need be. I'm 29 and have played a lot of different systems over the year, but I'm...

Dorius Del Dalian, Junior Reporter So, here is my character concept. I generated him using Pathguy's Eberron character generator, so if there are any changes you want to make, it's no problem to just generate it again. I've used one of the stat arrays you specified (16, 14, 14, 10, 9, 8) and...

All the house rules sound reasonable to me. I am happy for you as the DM to worry about that stuff, but none of your changes to initiative and distances bother me. Hopefully you'll be able to tell us who each player is Close to, Adjacent, etc. each round? Regarding my player character, seeing...

Just saw your reply in the other thread - thanks! I was really hoping to play a rogue as well. I know 3.5 isn't as rigid about needing different combat roles filled as 4e, but it might still be an issue. Do you have any particular opinion either way, airwalkrr?

Hi there, I am really interested in participating in this campaign if you'll have me! It sounds awesome, and I'm really impressed by the atmosphere you've created in that opening spiel. I have played in a couple of short-lived PbP campaigns and lots of IRL campaigns. I'm pretty familiar with...

This reminds me of the fantastic names for all the character options in Diablo 2, i.e. jabazon, hammerdin, etc. But my favourite, the Potion-Throwing Barbarian, never got an abbreviation. I wonder why?

I'm in London but have been busy packing all day for my long flight back to Australia on Tuesday, so I couldn't get out :( I'll be arriving back in Brisbane on Thursday. The free RPG website didn't list any of the Brisbane comic/RPG/hobby shops I know, although I've been living overseas for...

This is great, still really enjoying reading this. I'm hoping to get my hands on an old AD&D DMG just for the dungeon generator, unless anyone has any suggestions for where to find another one? Keep it up, fissionessence!

This is great! I've started my own, just for fun, though I don't have the exhaustive list of random tables you do. I might write it up some time soon. So far I've got a kobold wizard named Zeep travelling by ship to discover why mindless hordes are destroying an important dam... The ship's...

The campaign setting I am currently developing for my group* is set in the far future (still fantasy, not sci-fi) of the campaign world we first quested together in. The GM of the old campaign will be a player in this new one. The old setting was more-or-less generic, Greyhawk-esque, and mine...

As an aside, on Wayne Reynolds' (A.K.A. WAR) website, there are some new (at least, I think they are - I don't recognise them) Eberron images at the very bottom. WotC Gallery 2

This is fascinating, and very entertaining, well done! I can't wait to read more. I've started using the tools you've suggested to start a little short story - i love random generators ;] Keep it up.

I'm ineligible as I just had my 26th birthday on Wedenesday, but here's my list for anyone interested: Have read (and enjoyed): Robert Howard J. R. R. Tolkien Terry Pratchett Haven't read: Jack Vance Fritz Leiber Michael Moorcock (just bought an Elric omnibus today though!) China Mieville...

Great question! I based a whole characer concept off of this illustration, actually. It was a very short-lived Planescape PbP game, but it was one of the most fun-to-play characters I've ever played. He was indeed a gnome, and a bard. Basically a womanising, thieving, scandelous, treacherous...

EDIT: Posted as a reply to Qualidar. I'm currently working in London, but, as I said, I don't currently freelance. Even so, as a designer on a salary, even then my time is charged out by the company at at least £80/hour, depending on the work. Colleagues who freelance charge considerably more...

There are some great new images here. I think that picture of gnomish bard is still my favourite picture of that type (individual character isolated [on a white background]) to ever appear in a RPG book. It's interesting to see what other people say are their favourites from this book, I'm...

I love this idea! On a related note, what other modern-day-setting movies would translate well to a D&D adventure? I would dearly love to run a one-off adventure like this to introduce some friends to 4th edition, and they are all big action movie fans.

Like Bael Turath and Arkhosia?

I like metal as much as anyone, I suppose whatever suggestion that I don't that is in my previous post should be ignored ;] I should have qualified that statement you quoted with an "In my humble opinion..." or somesuch, sorry for any offence caused.

Agreed. As an aspiring illustrator myself, it does dismay me a little to see reused illustrations. But I love the dwarf PP image. The cover image is ridiculous. The artist is obviously incredibly talented, so please know I'm not attacking them. After reading that interview with Wayne...
