    [META] ENWorld Europe Summer Insanity!!

    I'm in... I'm in, subject the above caveats about money, accomodation and all. I'm in Dublin, Ireland, for triangulation purposes. Drew. http://www.badgerofthelord.net/

    Non-dragon Monsters?

    Ah, should have said that demons, devils, and other outsiders are already in use. I think I'm looking for something native to the Prime. The purple worm bears thinking about, perhaps. I've looked at the mythical beasts too, but none of them seem to have the versatility that dragons do - breath...

    Non-dragon Monsters?

    My campaign world has a problem, at least from my point of view. (I'm the DM, in case that wasn't clear) Dragons are considered a respected race, and nobody goes around killing them off - not unless they want the wrath of the priests of the Dragon Goddess (currently the largest of the religious...

    The Mist of Blades

    Go for it! Let me know if you use it, and how it works out. I'm always interested to see how other people use my ideas - usually it kicks off a bunch more ideas in my own head.

    The Mist of Blades

    [This is an entry for the background material of the Oriental-style lands in my campaign world, Davon.] The Mist of Blades may be a demiplane, a part of the Astral, or something else entirely; nobody is quite sure. Sometimes, a few days after a powerful warrior has defeated another in an...

    City of Pardel

    Women also go bare-chested, yes. The current group of players is more female than male, so there was no sniggering or other immaturity. ;) They are non-insular, trading people for the most part, although for much of the time, they wait for trade to come to them. They don't hold slaves, but...

    What would you want in a sourcebook?

    What I'll buy First off, I like my purchases to be stuff that will fit into my campaign, and that is both backward- and forward-compatible. That is, I won't buy a product with a new magic system, because then all the stuff I have for the old magic system is useless, and all the other...

    City of Pardel

    Pardel, the Painted City Pardel is a city built in a great desert, around the shores of a complex of artificial lakes and canals, magically supplied with water. The architecture tends toward low buildings, usually no more than two stories, with many courtyards, open passageways, and communal...

    Threshold of Ages

    Quote Threshold of Ages runs every two weeks on a Tuesday evening. Every other two weeks, we play a GURPS game in the Stargate setting. So even though there's no log for this week, there was a game. We ordered Indian food, which took ages to arrive. By the time it got to the house, we were...

    How often does your gaming group meet?

    D&D is my life I DM three groups. One of these plays every week, rain, storm or sunshine. That group has a lot of out-of-game activity too - in-character discussions, writing of letters, etc. So you could say that one's nearly daily, in that there's rarely a day I don't deal with some player...

    What makes an Epic Level Campaign?

    I've just finished a high level campaign, starting a new one with some of the same characters next week. Characters are levels 26, 22 and 16 - the level 22 character benefitted from being multiclass in 2nd Ed, and the level 16 character is a new player. The original third character would be...

    Tracking Campaign Activity

    Zervoid: I'm blessed with enthusiastic players. If I don't produce the usual amount of notes, updates, and handout material, they start to hassle me. This is a good thing, it keeps me in gear. And questions - in the middle of conversations on something else entirely - like "How's Arnol getting...

    Tracking Campaign Activity

    As a GM, for this campaign at least - I can't find anyone who runs a D&D campaign, AND whose schedule coincides enough with mine for me to play. I use a laptop - some of the time - myself, but I know my players well enough to know that if we all had computers or handhelds at the table, there'd...

    Tracking Campaign Activity

    I'm not quite sure this is the right forum for this, but the question is generic, and I want players and DMs opinions. So... How do you go about recording your campaigns, week-to-week and longer term? Do you keep logs, such as those posted in the Story Hour forum here, or hang on to your notes...

    Using real places in fantasy settings. . .opinions?

    Using real places I used the centre of my home village as the basis for a village in one campaign I ran. The players all knew the village, most of them lived within 20km of it, and I don't think anyone ever realised the correlation, even when they had the map in front of them. It made it much...

    Threshold of Ages

    Session 3 The group settled down for a night in the tower. After the sun had gone down, Calin went quietly up the hill to have another look at the orcs. He determined that they were a warband numbering about four hundred, and that they'd been on the road for a while. He noted the positions of...
