I'd be interested in playing. I have some 3rd and 4th edition materials, but no 5th yet. I haven't played this much (only at cons), and haven't played a magi character yet. I would like to play a magi, maybe I can make one up with the 3rd or 4th edition and with your help "update" him? Or I'm...

I used to be a pretty avid role player, but these days I only role play at conventions. This site has gotten me excited about RPGs again. The message boards are interesting and people put thought into their posts, and the news and reviews talks about the great stuff that is coming out now...

I'm looking for mature gamers in either Seattle or the east side (Bellevue or Redmond) who either need a new player or perhaps a DM / GM. I haven't played for a while but am interested in D&D, Traveller, Call of Cthulhu or anything else. I don't really care what system, I'm more interested in...

I like both high and low level campaigns, but it does seem like higher level campaigns sometimes lose their role playing edge, as characters get more powerful they can use the items and spells they've acquired to get out of situations instead of role playing. Really, I'm in it primarily for the...

Just about anything new for Cthulhu, Traveller and a few GURPS books, like the new GURPS Space.

Very interesting discussion. What occurs to me is that evil is not the act itself, it's the reason and motivation for doing it. The act of killing something is not evil; if you kill something in self-defense, I don't think you'd be considered evil. If you kill orc children for fun and...

I also like the idea of a Slaadii module. They were always tough and sneaky. The arctic adventure idea sounds interesting too. Always liked the old Remorhaz.... Another type of creature that I've always had fun with are the woodland fairies like Leprechauns, Pixies, Brownies, etc...

A long time ago, I remember an introductory adventure where the party was exploring a fairly simple ruined tower inhabited by just a handful of Kobols. There were plenty of little traps and simple creepy haunted house things (moving eyes in paintings, etc) that freaked them out. By time they...

I think it depends on the intelligence of the characters. If a player has a very intelligent character, I will probably give him / her more hints than if their character is not so smart. But otherwise I let the players try to figure out their own way through things. If players are heading...

I love props, especially documents, maps and photographs. There are so many cool kinds of paper to print things out on laserjets now you can make almost any kind of document and make it look old with a little "roughing up" as has already been described. Check out this site for some tips on how...

How is the new Thieves World book, by the way? Always loved the books and was thinking of using it as an adventure setting at the next local con.

I used to love starting out adventures where the PCs didn't know who were PCs and who were NPCs. It was fun to see how player's reactions change when they realize they're dealing with a PC instead of a NPC. Kind of tricky to pull off, but it can be done. It worked best in a PBEM campaign...

As someone just getting back interested in the hobby after a long time off, I am amazed by the variety and quality of things that are out there. I haven't really seen anything that I thought was radically overpriced. I play board wargames that also require investments of $50+, but for the...
