    old rpg background to maybe be a novel?

    …………….Recording started July 17th 2030 2350………………………………………. This is Captain Collin Jackson, United States Marine Corp 3rd Space exploration Unit. It’s been about six months since we lost the earth and about three months since the last of the rescue shuttles have picked anyone up. Nobody is sure...

    What do you Want in a Module?

    A good module HAS to have two things, 1) A good story that the PC's will actually care about and get involved in to help the story along. 2) A memorable villain, not the Kobold leader, it has to have a name personality. They have to have character, the PC's need to want to defeat him. Some of...

    Birthright??

    So in everyone's opinion why did Birthright not take off? (Besides Corporate screw ups) I loved the game world and ideas behind it! I think that Forgotten realms was considered the main game world at that time, pushing everyone else out. I didn't always have PC regents, they usually played...

    3.5 or 4th edition?

    ok wow you put your opinions up and people complain. Maybe you think people keep putting up the same complaints for a reason? Anyway If I was going to start a new game I would start with 3.5. There are problems but I find it easier to use than 4, but everyone had different likes and dislikes...

    3.5 or 4th edition?

    Imo I'm in my late 30's and my group has played all of the editions. I love them all with the exception of 4th. We played it for several months but I just found the combat more aggravating than anything. It felt very video gamish to me with the special moves and all. As a DM it was also hard to...

    When should the Master step in?

    No Killing Rule Well I had a couple of times I had to warn players but never because they were trying to kill other PC's. I think the hardest one I ran was a Birthright campaign where all of them were land owning nobles from a kingdom where the king was on his deathbed. Of course they were...

    You All Meet In A Bar

    you would be better off with a regular bar and have one day as a game day for RPgers, like sunday or something. Having it cater to just gamers won't even pay for your liquor license since most are probably underage. You would be better of getting a space and renting game tables, sell snacks...

    Are gamers chronic loners

    38 married here with two boys and another on the way. Everyone I play with is married, I'm a cop/Bomb Tech so when I get time to play it's with people that has the same busy life as I do.

    What are Your Favorite Out of Print RPGs?

    Birthright Birthright, I loved that game, there was nothing more awesome than rallying your friends to take down a rival kingdom!! I would love to see that game world printed again, although not in 4E, I'm not a big fan of that system.

    Am I mean?

    Imo well you might discourage them if they get stomped right off the bad, maybe have them get confronted and told of the arrest, but give them a way out, now the entire time they have to look over their back, it might add to the adventure, and to find out why. a good sub plot. If they get...

    What do you want the next "genre setting" to be?

    Birthright I would love to see Birthright as a setting, it's still my favorite setting and I dont think that they gave it enough time to catch on, even if you dont like running an empire the game world itself was get to adventure in.

    Job advice needed

    Be careful Well I guess I'm lucky my job gets more secure as the economy tanks but it gets harder! Anyway wouldn't say a word until you get a solid offer because if they know you are looking elsewhere and more cuts come up I'm sure your name would be at the top to be let go!

    Building Ambiance

    My area Well props are my specialty as you can see if you click on my sig link!. Anyway ambient noise is great by also use wav files. The best scare I got was when we were playing a Sci-Fi setting with Aliens. I had ambient music in the background and the PC's were exploring a downed ship. Then...

    Hackmaster

    woo hoo I can't wait until I run Robinloft! These modules look really fun. I already have two players that are going to play it. Dont get me wrong I own the 4E books, but there was too much of a video game rpg in it for me. I also didn't care for the new races. A nice set of books but just not...

    D&D 3E/3.5 4E reminded me how much I like 3E

    Not liking 4E Well I bought all three books, read them and Me no like. It feels way too much like a video game manual to me. Just my opinion but thats not the D&D that I love. SOOO I just picked up Hackmaster on a friends recommendation. The GAME rocks! I wish I had played this earlier!
