    I spend way too much on RPG's.

    I recently decided that I don't really need most of the supplemental material for most games, at least not in dead-tree form. I'm a die hard collector though, so I fully intend to maintain the collection, just converting everything to digital format (and selling the dead trees) that's available...

    Big changes a'coming! Merging the D&D forums

    Apologies if this has already been mentioned. If I may make a suggestion regarding Echohawk's Collector's Guides. Currently the 4th Edition Guide is stickied. I would suggest a stickied Index thread with links to all the Guides instead (since the forum now encompasses all editions of D&D).

    Miscellaneous D&D Collector's Guide

    Echohawk, having followed the posting of these Guides from the beginning, I must say that they are just about the most awesome and useful thing ever posted on EN World. Thank you.

    What reasons do people in your groups give for not wanting to GM?

    Two big ones for my group... 1. Game books read like text books. They know the rules well enough to play and read up on their race and class and such but other than that, reading the game book is too much of a chore (and, truthfully, some RPG books are pretty darn intimidating just based on...

    Fluff Changes You've Made to PC Races

    These were all 3.5... Dwarves - sentient ant-folk. Penalty to charisma represented lack of invididuality. Bonus vs. giants explained as being adept at avoiding being stepped on. Elves - Humans afflicted with a magical plague and forced to become scavengers in the dregs of human civilization...

    RPG Bucket List

    The #1 item on my bucket list is done (work in the gaming industry), so, here's the rest. 2. Actually read all of the books on my gaming shelves. 3. Create a fully detailed campaign world and run more than one campaign there (so past events of PCs have an impact on the present). 4. Run a D&D...

    Gamer Confessional

    I gave in to player whining and begging and put a Deck of Many Things at the end of an adventure...which caused a TPR* mid-campaign. *Total Party Reboot as one character ended up soulless, another drained of multiple levels, another alignment changed and several levels above the party average...

    What influenced you to start gaming?

    Heinlein, Niven, and King (Stephen King) were my bedtime stories when I was 6 and I was allowed to watch The Exorcist and The Shining while the adults were playing poker and such. After that, I started reading a lot of Chronicles... Chronicles of Narnia, Chronicles of Prydain, Dragonlance...

    What are your gaming stuff mishaps?

    Oh how it pains me... When my wife got out of the Air Force in 1999, we packed everything up and moved to Washington. All of our stuff ended up in storage in Portland, Oregon, until we could get our feet back under us. Well, life pulled the rug out from under us instead and we ended up moving...

    1st Edition Collector's Guide

    Going through the release dates, I noticed that the A series appears to be out of order. Were A3 and A4 really released prior to A2 or is there a mix-up there?

    Ashamed of being a Gamer?

    I have to say I'm with Elfwitch on this one. These are not healthy relationships. My wife is a freelance layout artist and game designer so, again, I guess I have an unfair advantage, but, really, if there is no honesty in the relationship, there is no respect. Sorry to derail with...

    Ashamed of being a Gamer?

    I sort of have an unfair advantage, I suppose, since my job is completely about shouting out to the world about gaming. Then again, I got this job by being "loud and proud" so, I suppose it worked out for the best. ;) On a more serious note, I AM ashamed that some of you have to hide part of...

    Tell me about your 2E Ravenloft Campaigns

    I did the "weekend in Ravenloft" style of adventure, starting with Dark of the Moon, an adventure set in Vorostokov and then moving on to Vecna Reborn. The PCs were pulled in from the Dragonlance setting, which meant there was a kender PC. Kender in Ravenloft is...interesting to say the least...
