    Tv & rpgs

    My current campaign is, mainly due to a lack of prep time, borrowed almost completely from Babylon 5. My prep time consists of rewatching an episode, taking some notes about the major PC interaction points, and then statting up an NPC or two. Since my players are mostly unfamiliar with the...

    How much $ per month do you spend on Gaming?

    I just recently joined the $26-50 club after a very long time of an average of about $5 a month (nothing throughout most of the year and then a splurge at winter holiday and tax return). Now that I have a bit more income, I'm keeping up with Essentials and Pathfinder hardcovers and slowly...

    The real question of the day: Did he really solve that Rubik's Cube or did he just peel the stickers off and put them back on "solved?" ;)

    Campaign Settings you like

    This aspect is fun, but I find running "normal" campaigns in Council of Wyrms just as much fun. Running regular PCs under the shadow of the dragons has vast potential.

    If Dragons were real...

    Taking a look at dolphins and whales, it is entirely possible that they are as intelligent as we are but have no need for things like opposable thumbs or the need to build things because of their environment. So, "real" dragons, if they were intelligent, are effectively the ultimate predator...

    Campaign Settings you like

    My favorite settings are the ones I can borrow the most stuff from for my homebrews. :D With that in mind... Dragonstar (Fantasy Flight Games, D20 3.0) Spelljammer (TSR, 2E) Council of Wyrms (TSR, 2E) Those are my primary sources right now, though I've also borrowed bits and pieces from...

    How big is your RPG collection?

    Large at precisely 267 items (I keep an inventory database file). I have relunctantly sold off quite a number of things over the years during times of financial duress, lost my entire collection of AD&D 2nd Edition, Palladium, and (old) World of Darkness items during a move in 2000, and had...

    Why Play D&D?

    I don't play WoW (or any MMO) because I have an addictive personality and I'd get so sucked into it that I'd forget to feed my children. ;)

    Colorado Springs CO: Looking for D&D 4E DM

    You had me until the last part about location. ;) Our Sunday group is in a minor state of flux at the moment and we're about to start a new 4E campaign so its the perfect time for new players. But, we're limited to playing at our house at the moment (no vehicle). So, if anything changes, let...

    Best Published Setting for "Sandbox" Campaign?

    First, I'm not terribly concerned with what edition the setting was or is published for, game mechanics are something of a secondary concern (though it should preferably be something published for any edition of D&D or Pathfinder). What published setting is best for just dumping the PCs into...

    Transformers: 3010

    The Elita-1/Blackarachnia connection is exclusive to the TF: Animated continuity so I wouldn't feel obligated to use it. I can't see Blaster or Wheelie as Primes but that may just be bias from their potrayals in the original cartoon.
