    How to have an announcement made in the newsletter

    I'm interested in having an announcement for a new old-school D&D magazine put into the next enworld e-newsletter. Does anyone know how I can go about that, or whom I should contact? I tried looking around on the site here, but I couldn't find any specific way to go about it. I wanted to look at...

    I'm looking to add players to my 1E AD&D group, so let me know if you're interested. We'd probably play one or two Saturdays a month in Northern Virginia. The thread for my game ad is here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/gamers-seeking-gamers/312574-ad-d-northern-virginia.html

    AD&D in Northern Virginia

    Looking for one or two mature players to add to our current group. I'll be using 1st Edition AD&D with some house rules, set in post-Wars Greyhawk. We're currently nailing down a schedule, but it will probably be one or two Saturday afternoons each month. Sessions will likely take place in a...

    [DC Metro Area] Seeking Group or more Gamers

    Do you know what RPG system(s) your group is mainly interested in? If it's an earlier version of AD&D (preferably 1E), count me interested.

    [Northern Virginia] Castles & Crusades

    I'm hoping to run a single C&C adventure, hopefully some time in September or October, at my place in Arlington. I am not sure yet what adventure I will run, whether one of my own making or one of TLG's published adventures, but I anticipate that it will be low level and will span at least...

    AD&D 1E - Arlington, VA

    Oldschool, I noticed you joined the osdnd forums over at osdnd.org. Feel free to recruit over there for your 1E/2E game. Some people there have not been able to join us because of schedule conflicts or perhaps other reasons, but you might have a viable option for them.

    AD&D 1E - Arlington, VA

    I'm always on the lookout for new players for our old-school D&D group in Arlington, Virginia. We use AD&D First Edition with some minor house rules. Right now we are taking a break from my regular Greyhawk campaign while one of the players runs us through the 1E Pharaoh modules. My campaign...

    AD&D 1E in Northern Virginia

    I'm currently running a 1st Ed. AD&D campaign (with house rules, of course) in Arlington and could use another player or two. I'm looking for mature players who can make a commitment to attend most of the game sessions. We haven't nailed down a regular, consistent schedule yet due to varying...

    GM Dilemma

    This has been a general observation that I've observed with more than one group of players over time. Also, in more recent times I've made it clear what kind of game I'd be running and what I expected from players, but usually that has been ignored. But you have a good point -- maybe asking...

    GM Dilemma

    Greetings all: Here’s a question that I thought I’d throw out there to see what people’s thoughts and experiences are. Please bear with me if this seems a bit rantish—it is, but I’ll try to keep the rant factor down to a minimum.  It is also a bit long, but I really want to express my thoughts...

    Are you still looking for players? I just might be interested in this depending on the day and time.

    Product recommendations for getting into Eberron

    For DMs, Sharn: City of Towers is almost indispensable. In fact, my opinion is that it's the greatest Eberron supplement out there, barring, of course, the CS book. The beauty of this book is that it is almost like a campaign setting in itself. A DM could run an entire campaign just in Sharn...

    Any group in Fairfax area looking for a player?

    Sounds tempting, but I honestly couldn't make it on very many Saturdays. Gaming on a Saturday would be the exception rather than the norm, unless it happened early (like noon to 6 p.m. or something like that).

    Any group in Fairfax area looking for a player?

    Hi, I'm looking to join a group, or perhaps even start one if need be. I know D&D 3.5 is pretty much the system of choice on this board, but I am also open to other systems such as GURPS, Savage Worlds, or HARP. I'm even willing to run an Eberron campaign eventually, though not right away. I...

    Improved Grab question

    Okay, let me sum this up in my own words to see if I get it: A creature with Improved Grab can do one of two things: 1) Focus all of its attention on grappling an opponent. If it does this, its grapple check suffers no penalties, but it can't focus on fighting other opponents with its other...

    Improved Grab question

    Okay, understood. But then why does the text refer to "each successful grapple check it makes during successive rounds" if this huge creature is not grappled?

    Improved Grab question

    But "use the part of its body" for what? to let go of the opponent and do something else?

    Improved Grab question

    In the text for Improved Grab, it says this: The creature has the option to conduct the grapple normally, or simply use the part of its body it used in the improved grab to hold the opponent. If it chooses to do the latter, it takes a -20 penalty on grapple checks, but is not considered...
