    Looking for gamers!

    Several of the groups I play in have had some turnover recently, so we're looking to recruit some new players! - Monday: Call of Cthulhu (Meets Bi-Weekly). We are currently running "Masks of Nyarlathotep", but am open to switching it up if we get enough potential new players. We use Skype &...

    Playtest Review of the Call of Cthulhu Starter Set

    Agreed with this sentiment. As a long-time COC fan... The Starter Set is a great value, and contains some excellent material. (The adventures are generally pretty well-known/liked, an Pre-Gen characters are always nice to have to hand. BUT, for completely new players/Keepers, I would also have...

    D&D 5E DC Comics Publishing Dungeons & Dragons Sourcebook

    As a fan of Amethyst since the first mini-series way back when, I'm glad to see the property getting so much renewed love lately! :) And "The Last God" comic is quite good so far; issue 4 just came out, so it's quite possible to catch up in no time. (There's a plethora of fantasy comics out...

    D&D 5E Best 5e Adventure? Vote up to 3

    Curse of Strahd is a no-brainer, as I'm a fan of Ravenloft, since it's inception and in all it's incarnations. Tomb of Annihiliation: While I have a few issues with this (the set-up being SUPER weak), it's overall an enjoyable mix of many things I enjoy about both 5E and the history of D&D...

    Chaosium's Long-Delayed Kickstarter: Cargo Ship Arrives With Stock; Rewards About To Go Out

    Agree w/ JeffB! As expected, the new ownership had been making majoR changes for the better, and are finally delivering on long-held promises! MAJOR kudos to Sandy & Co., and I can't wait to see what other NEW stuff they have in store for the coming years!

    Pathfinder News From GAMA

    These sound like "Safe Choices" to me. I'm not sure how 5E is impacting Pathfinder/Paizo, but these sound like not only "Safe" choices, but also good "Entry level" points for people, esp with the lower priced rulebooks. And I'm totally onboard for "Horror Adventures' when it comes out as well...

    My current superhero TV show ranking

    This is just the (mostly) current crop of Live-Action shows. (It would take WAY too long to adjudicate animated shows!!) The Flash- I love my super-heroes 4-color. I’m not “Anti” Grim-n-gritty by any means, but this hits the right spot for me. Supergirl- As above. And I’m a big fan of Jeremy...

    Out of the Abyss

    4 out of 5 rating for Out of the Abyss Much of what I'm going to say here has already been said by others, so I'll just pick out the highlights for this review.Ultimately, much of what is "Good" can also be considered "Bad" as well.The good:- This is a better module, overall, than...

    Minsc & Boo In Ravenloft?

    Looking forward to this! You really can't go wrong, IMO, with Jim Zub; he also does the ongoing "Wayward" and did the "Samurai Jack" series a year or two back. And the last ""Baldurs Gate" miniseries was quite for a D+D comic (which have been notoriously hit-or miss over the years, regardless...

    DDAL Here's WotC's 14-Adventure CURSE OF STRAHD Series For DDAL

    For me, I'm totally down for anything Strahd/Ravenloft related! And this seems like a good start to get my non-RL loving friends INTO RL! :)

    Congratulations to the 2015 ENnies Award Winners!

    I'm not a backer for this; I bought my physical copy online, and got it for just under ~$80. . (My FLGS didn't have copies in stock, or I likely would have shelled out the differnce to support my FLGS.) And I'm quite happy with the price to content ratio; it matches if not surpasses most of...

    Congratulations to the 2015 ENnies Award Winners!

    I woudn't go so far as to "Face-Palm", but I did find this choice surprising.... (Though I am thrilled, as always, that CoC was recognized, and HotOE especially, given the pains it took to get this book out to the general public!) So, "Congrats" to all the winners; I'm pleased that I have had a...

    Wanted! Your experience with Horror on the Orient Express

    I've loved this campaign since it was released back in the mid-90's, and I have purchased both the original when it came out, and the Revised Version, which was released recently. First, production and value-wise, boht books are top notch. The Revised Version comes in a sturdy box, and is...

    Gen Con Takes Stand For Inclusiveness

    While I endorse "The Grandma Rule" as a whole, we have to acknowedge that, (though we often imagine otherwise by our very nature) we live in the real-world; outside issues DO affect us, and our culture as gamers. And, as a community, it's up to us be able to discuss these matters civilly...

    Gen Con Takes Stand For Inclusiveness

    Morrus, thanks for posting this. I know the importance of "the Grandma Rule", and I applaud you for making ENWorld a safe-space for gamers everywhere. And I hope we can dicuss this civilly, knowing everyone will have their own strongly-held opinions. But sometimes (like in any gaming system)...
