    [4e] New to PBP? Can't find a game? (Recruitment on hold)

    here's one idea: we don't actually know each other, but we all have a common enemy. we all have some reason to want revenge against the city's underworld crime boss. by coincidence, we were each caught in a foolhardy act of revenge, and now the crime boss has thrown us into some perilous...

    [4e] New to PBP? Can't find a game? (Recruitment on hold)

    i am very interested as well. i am not in any games at the moment. a couple years back, i was in a couple games, but the enworld site got blocked where i live (china) and i could not access it for a while. i avoided starting any new games after the site came back because i was worried about...

    wow, the warden just keeps hanging on by a thread. if enough people accidentally vote for the invoker, he might live another round.

    Campaign Versus Adventurer

    as a player, i much prefer to have my character/party level up in a storybook fashion over the entire span of his/her career. i am not that into having one off adventures that are totally disconnected from each other. this is true whether playing published or homebrew campaigns. so i prefer...

    DM ex Machina: New Column from Ari Marmell

    i am firmly in favor of the footnotes under each paragraph. i thought it worked well, especially with the humorous ones. perhaps you can get by with fewer of them though, if other people don't like them. for the more serious ones, i was always disappointed when i glanced down, as i was...

    Help with 4E adventure

    or you have to come into physical contact with the coin to be affected by the curse. but that could also add to the tension. the thieves stole one coin, but never actually touched it. at some point one of their number succumbs as well, and now they want to steal the first coin as well.

    Help designing mountain Orc ambushes

    what about a mountain terrain akin to the dakotan badlands. it is a maze like terrain of canyons in which it's easy to get lost. but the orcs are able to fault over the ravines and move about freely at the top. something like this, but the rock wall is two to three times the height of a...

    Help with 4E adventure

    why not complicate things a bit? what if someone from the thieves guild stole the coin without knowing what it was. at the same time, the creator, or former possessor of the coins wants them back. the thieves are being tracked from two sides, and it will depend on how the pcs play it what...

    3rd Party Products - Do You Care?

    i'm interested, and if money were unlimited and our earth's resources infinite, then i would buy a lot. but mostly i just look at what's out there, and if i see something i like, i steal the idea for myself and homebrew it.

    What type of regular columns would you like to see on EN World?

    To continue the mixed metaphor, you might even want to include a cow, a couple of chickens, and a few pinch runners. These last may be of any barnyard species.

    Understanding Alignment

    this thread is testament to not only the fact that alignments lend themselves to be argued about, but that many people enjoy debating and arguing (or at least feel compelled to do it). similar endless debates can be found on here about all sorts of topics. but i think the original thrust of...

    How many of you have made your own RPG?

    so interesting. i'm most fascinated by the failures for some reason. why do we put so much time into creating something, but never actually see it through to fruition? maybe for the same reason my favorite part of civilization is the first couple ages, where everything is a blank slate and...

    How many of you have made your own RPG?

    i remember when i was a kid and really into ad&d, me and my buddies would always be making not only our own campaigns, but entire gaming systems. off the top of my head, i can remember at least 5 different games we started making at one time or another. and as i recall, i don't think of them...

    What type of regular columns would you like to see on EN World?

    as you mentioned below, perhaps 60% of the people here play 4ed. plus all the 3.5ed and other fantasy rpg. that's a pretty significant chunk of people who would likely be into fantasy fiction. i for one would read any genre, as long as it's got a good story and good characters. i am...

    What type of regular columns would you like to see on EN World?

    i am most enthusiastically in support of serialized fiction, and i'm surprised it got the lowest response. it seems to me that free fiction, especially if it is of high quality, would appeal to everyone. i've been thinking that we are about to see a return of serialized fiction. in the...
