Coincidences happen. ( <- This statement was intended to accompany xp for you, but apparently I agree with you too often. So stop speaking rightly so often and this will no longer be an issue.) I've never seen anything in the Deadlands book that indicated to me that racism disappeared with the...

2 hours sleep + 2 pots of coffee + my opinions and experience = Fair warning: In this post, I veer off topic, incorporate my love of all things Mel Brooks, plot to make my players cry, and hopefully get across that I agree with Elf Witch and Broken Druid for the most part on this subject...

They at least get initials in the front cover. These books get piled on a table with many similar titles, and telling them apart can become important. Back in the 3.0 days a friend announced the start of a new campaign. The books had all been stored in his dorm room, so we all have access to...

Adventurer: What's the name of this band of raiders? Townsfolk: I don't think they have a proper name. Adventurer: Then what do people call them? Townsfolk: Usually people call them things like; "Help!" "By all that the Gods hold dear! Run for your lives!" "This monster is raping me to...

The GM should aspire to be a kind but distant Deity. The goal is to create the world and then allow the players to explore it. It is the GM who makes the players aware of what is happening in their surroundings, but allows fate to determine the outcome of situations. Having absolute power...

My wife loves the setting, and expressed an interest in playing the RPG and the miniature game, so I bought her both. I even learned what a "Nurgle" was so that she was able to make me understand her lunatic ravings about 40k. She hasn't had time to put together her minis or plan a RPG campaign...

Are you asking if the Pathfinder miniatures come with stat cards for the Dungeons & Dragons miniature game? I think that'd be a no.

The definition of Aragorn-Style Ranger is, I believe: A character with 15 levels of Bada$$.

Playing in a biweekly Birthright campaign converted to Pathfinder. Running an approximately biweekly D6 Star Wars game that I'm about to wrap up. Planning a Classic Deadlands campaign.

Is it bad that, while capable of appreciating some positive PR for the hobby, I'm bothered by the fact that he doesn't know that die is the singular and dice is plural? What's wrong with me?

Dread. Write up a sci fi or d&d game, since she's interested in those things. No system to get in the way of teaching her to roleplay, and the tower will distract her from her nervousness and turn it into, well, dread. You could also try kidnapping her, but I'm not sure how that kind of thing...

Yay for nerdy girls! Looks like you may have a keeper there. Pretty much going with the party line of give her an adventure with a little of everything, in whatever system you're most comfortable with teaching. Congrats, and good luck.

I remember playing in a game where a character took out a dragon with a bag of holding and a portable hole. He has been banned from the tactic ever since. In another game, I was playing a spell caster who had the idea of casting explosive runes every day and sticking the resulting piece of...

Dungeons & Dragons isn't a brand, as far as Hasbro is concerned. Their website's list of brands doesn't even list it. See for yourself. BRAND LIST Down at the bottom, you'll see they list Wizards of the Coast. They want the money it makes them, but they don't want to be associated with the...

Playing: Pathfinder version of Birthright Running: D6 Star Wars Planning: The End campaign, a Deadlands campaign, and a game using a homebrew system called Worlds Unbound set in a darker Land of Oz. One of these three will start up in the next month or two.

Star Wars second edition or revised & expanded. Both use the D6 system, which is simple enough to not get in the way of the story. If you don't want to run a Star Wars game, just eliminate the force and rename a few alien species and you're golden. The hardest part is finding copies of the...

My local library used to have a fair selection of gaming books. Then they decided to get rid of them, and the owner of my FLGS grabbed them on the cheap.

Can't give Eunomaniac EXP right now, but "sensicalness" deserves some, and to be a real word. Edit: Good luck finding a Dread GM, I've been trying forever and a day now.

Yep, Stormonu nailed the setting and the play style. Honor is to be cherished and sought out, combat is a poor choice. Played it several years ago, and I can attest to the brutality of the system. I called out a scorpion samurai over the ninjas he sent after us ("Ninja's are a fairy tale, to...

This is from the first post, why is everyone assuming there will ever be more to this story? I think the only way we'll hear about the next session is if one of the other players from the OP's group posted it, and surely he wouldn't have ever posted that where they could see it, so I don't...
