The link should be in an email they send you a few days after you get the playtest packet. Here's the link I got, although I don't know if they are personalized or not: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/1335944/D-amp-D-Next-Open-Playtest-Survey-10

I don't like the mage class having all of the different arcane magic-users under it because it would cause class bloat. The thing I like about DnD Next is how simple it is; we made our characters quickly and got into play with little problems. If the mage class was for all arcane casters and...

We have an African hougan in our Savage Worlds Rippers game. While underground in Iceland, they fought a large stitched together monster, which was a Tyrannosaurus Rex and giant gorilla put together. It threw a giant rock at the group, which managed to miss most of them but hit the hougan. He...

Although I've never played Outbreak Undead or AFMBE, I can personally attest that War of the Dead would make a great mini-campaign for 3-5 sessions. The first arc of the storyline (which is only a third or so of the first book) lasts about that long and fits very well as a hard ending (it...

I've been running a Rippers game using the Savage Worlds system. The group has gotten to a buried pyramid called the Saqqara Necropolis, and one of the players decided (stupidly) to go off by himself. He went through a hall that was filled with threads (triggers for a stone falling), and he was...

I love Savage Worlds. I've been playing it for a good year now, almost completely dropping every other system but the occasional Pathfinder Society game. I started with War of the Dead and it's still going on and I've GMed a successful campaign of Avatar: the Last Airbender ((insert shameless...

Perhaps it is just all in my mind, or that those people who fill that idea stick out to me moreso than those who don't fit the bill. If anyone thinks otherwise, feel free to say so!

Recently, I have been thinking about the Magic: the Gathering color pie (for those who don't know what it is or want to learn about it, here is a link). I've always favored the blue playstyle, which favors intelligence, logic, creativity, and technology. After some self-reflection, I found that...

I haven't run or played in an e6 campaign before, but I really want to. However, I've played some games that removed high-power spells like ressurection and such. It really opens up a lot of options that weren't available before. One of your teammates dies? No more ressurection; instead, let's...

Mang, some of you guys make me feel like an infant in the hobby. I started out running games with maps drawn on grid paper (standard printer size) and taped together while using random small toys for miniatures, and NONE of them ever fit. (queue shame) We used these Hamtaro figures and some...

Question 1 Which of these genres interest you the most? (choose one or more) Sci-fi, fantasy, modern, historical, horror, humor/satire, realistic shooting, superhero, surreal, detective, post-apocalyptic, multi-genre, other? Fantasy is probably my number one, although superhero is probably my...

Cause they're too damn lazy to. It's as simple as that for the people I play with. Out of the group of people I usually play with, being the gamemaster always falls to me or one other member of the group. I usually get burned out on gamemastering after a few months, so at that point I switch...

In our Savage Worlds zombies game, we lost a sniper, a sous-chef from Harlem, and a supermodel with some zombie-killing heels. The sessions have felt pretty slow recently, so we've got character who've survived over four sessions now! Let's hope that doesn't change too quickly...

Multiclassing in 3.5. I love 3.5 and I love multiclassing, but after a while it makes me want to flip over tables. Ranger/ wizard/ eldritch knight? Fine. Fighter/barbarian? That's cool. Fighter/ Ranger/ Barbarian/ Exotic Weapon Master/ Swordsage/ Tempest? You've got to be kidding me.

Right now I'm playing a lot of Pathfinder. I'm playing in a group for Rise of the Runelords with some friends, and every once in a while I'll join in for a game or two at the Pathfinder Society meetings at my FLGS. What I really want at the moment is a 4e game to join...

There's The Savage Worlds of Solomon Kane, which is set in his setting for the Savage Worlds system. Best part is that the book actually has the Savage Worlds rules in it, so you won't have to buy the handbook separately.

Sounds like I need to add an elf-stacking minigame in my next campaign.

I would like to see the Legend of Zelda series be made into a tabletop setting. I know that a lot of people have made fan conversions of the game, but the ones I've tried have been fairly lackluster and usually only focus around the Ocarina of Time.

What systems/editions is it emulating/mish-mashing? I'm guessing one of them is Dungeons and Dragons 3.5, by the fact you're talking about the SRD in the beginning.

I think you should run with it. If they knew he was an important figure that needed protection from the BBEG and they chose to just leave him to his own whims, then they should take the pain for it. The BBEG gets his hands on the prophet and does whatever was needed of him (killing him, turning...
