Mostly I game with friends. My first group was one from middle school and we played all the way til now. I don't game with them anymore because life has removed me from the equation, and it is just to much of a drive to do it. But they still play. My second group was strangers I got hooked up...

hmmm... for natural resources a water source, a small or large tree filled area (for basic building supplies and fuel for fire) there needs to be some sort of food source weather it is small game, small farm animals(chickens, sheep, ect), some sort of availibility for grain. building wise a...

Yeah it's not usually that enjoy taking away the experience of RPGs from some one. But there was this guy who was sort of a friend of a brother in law. He was youngish(early 20s), had been in the millitary gotten injured, now mooched off of his parents not working(nor for the year and the 1/2...

Gaming groups are tough. Sometimes you just have to make the best out of it. I had moved to a larger city for work leaving behind my rural group that had been playing together since jr. high school and through college and some of our "adult" lives. It was rough. I went to the bulletin board at...

that is in itself not so much a problem but an element of the narrative. No one wants to clear their schedule get together on a Saturday evening and hear about what other npc's do in the world. Even the best ran campaigns only mention hero's/villains of renown in passing. Why because in essence...

I have found the best "explorer" adventures are ones you actually get to explore. It sounds obvious but I can't tell you how many modules/adventures I have played through and there be nothing to really discover. No morsel of history, no hidden room/ruins/cavern ect. with a cool or mysterious...

DCU seems pretty cool. The trailer itself makes me want to play. YouTube - DC Universe Online - Cinematic Trailer (Comic-Con '10)

I don't know how well the book would do, but I would at least leaf through it. I love stuff like this. If it was well done I might even buy it. Especially if there was some sort of soft mechanic that could be worked with by the DM for character goals and such over time. I've always thought...

I simply meant that gaming is a time investment. The best thing about RL gaming is you can usually tell within a few minutes what kind of group you have. Relationships built over time help party cohesion. Its hard over PbP or VTT because they are so many intangibles. I've done several online...

My wife detests it. She teases me without any hope of reprieve. I can't even wink at a good fantasy movie preview(Take Season of The Witch) without hearing about the time my wife caught me playing "Oblivion" with a cloak about and talking to myself. So much so she posted about it on several...

I'm actually suprised they have not done this with Harry Potter. You could make it strictly a duel type game with hogwarts and other famous characters from that world. It would make a crap ton of green-backs.

My game for "big game hunting" where you get to choose your animal and then go get hunted by a man who has been set free in the wilderness with no equipment.

The afore mentioned concerns are all good. Especially what Gulla said. Time is super important. Pkitty is right, streamline, streamline, streamline. The worst thing about 1offs and such is that when your adventure really starts to move to tension and denouement people start checking their...

Running two games right now. 1st is a d20 homebrew system that is demi-classed and skill based. It's grim and gritty uses wound points very warhammer/conanish. Visceral fast and bloody fun. Right before we broke for the holidays we ended season 1. After defending a northern fort that is...

Id like to echo DannyAlcatrazs comments. I grew up in a small town. D&D was kind of a stigma. You know because we would get together drink Soda and sacrifice a goat. Lol. We actually had an intervention at school once Bwhahahah. I had to give a debate style rebuttal which ended in that they...

To The Fort of Last Fire The Road grew colder as the farther North and East the party travelled. Snow and frost dotted the countryside and grew thicker the farther they pressed the road. Three days out from Halder’s tomb they came upon the small town of Eidelfast, there they were able restock...

Recently went through the same thing with my son he's nine. Over xmas I passed my comic collection on to him. He really liked it. I took some time off between holiday there and we were bored and I asked if he wanted to play Super heros. We started at MnM. He about died in character creation. I...

I see. It tends to be more of a translation problem for me I think. I just find it redundant. That I might buy a strength of 16 and then buy a super strength of 30 but the 16 I previously bought has nothing to do with my super strength. Sounds pretty cool though. I just started playing super...

Quick thought about the ability scores. Lets say for a "power" like super strength will that fit into your abilities or powers. I have always had trouble dealing with that in d20. During the build if you know you are making a brick/tank type how does the "power" affect the base score and such. I...

Fantasy wise: My ship would be enchanted and protected as well. Extra speed resistance to fire. Warded and dimension locked. Perhaps bonded with a couple elementals...hmmmm...maybe I have it fixed so once it hits land it just keeps going....yes fear me...I pilot a pirate hovership. Modern...
