It certainly has its challenges. We have one player who used to travel more than 50%. His travel has slowed, but a new member of the group has a hard time making it, so he's remote most of the time. As the GM, I know I have to listen for when he has something to say, and make sure I interrupt...

We use Google Hangouts, with Roll20 integrated. It's a split group, with most in house and one or two remote. Google hangouts handles pretty much anything we need it to do. We've just started using Roll20 and have been really impressed. We had been using maptools, and will likely keep using...

As a player in this mini campaign, I can say we've been having a ball and Skryme has been doing an exceptional job GMing it.

I'm going to agree. I slogged through the first three or four and gave up. There was a review on Amazon, I think for book 8, that said, "NOTHING happened in this book." That summed up my decision easily enough. Go read Game of Thrones.

Another vote for Savage Worlds. You can get the core book for $10. The Fantasy Companion(just updated) for $15. When you're ready for that Zombie game, try War of the Dead. My group got into Savage Worlds to play WotD and have loved every minute of it. Here is my shameless link to the write...

Have you considered just using your family room TV? We moved to the couch, family room TV and use Maptools with tokens. The players each has a cheap laser pointer. As a group, there is a wireless mouse so they can direct with the laser pointer, or move their token themselves . We've tried...

There is always Savage Worlds. There are several Sci-Fi Settings you can use as inspiration. Nemezis looks promising: http://www.rpgnow.com/product/107387/Nemezis

We use Google Hangouts just about every session. It works great and is free. You can get a cheap web cam for less than $10 on Amazon.

For your Thanksgiving pleasure, Session 5: Tonight's session was very interesting. As an important note, this battle ran over three hours, so I may have a few details out of order, left out entirely, or just wrong. The survivors had just taken out a few of Hell's boys and were heading back...

War of the Dead - Session 4 - 11/5/2012 War of the Dead - Session 4 - 11/5/2012 First off, a big thank you to Mike, our resident gun expert, who brought both a real glock and M-16 last night for all of us to check out. It was nice for the players to see what they're handling. Stepping out...

I've been running my group through WotD. Read the game report here: Savage Worlds War of the Dead - Session 1 Recap - EN World: RPG News & Reviews We usually play every other week for 4ish hours per session. They did skip quite a bit on the ship as they just wanted out.

Session 3 War of the Dead, Session 3, 10/23/12 After a three week hiatus, we got back to the game. We had done some email gaming while on the lifeboat. In the end, the 6 players, their 3 family member NPCs, and 8 other NPCs remained on their boat. We were missing Kris tonight, so his...

Thanks guys. Unfortunately, it will be a couple more weeks till we play. As for the system rules, the Shamblers are supposed to always wild attack, so that gives them a -2. So that -4 for the called headshot becomes a -2, for the most part. I'll admit, we're still new at this, so we haven't...

After 3+ years of 4E, my players wanted something new, so we went with Savage Worlds. It does rock. Check out the thread I started for War of the Dead: http://www.enworld.org/forum/tabletop-gaming/329873-savage-worlds-war-dead-session-1-recap.html The thing that amazes me most is how fast...

Session 2 - In the books WotD Session 2 game report When we last left our unfortunate vacationers, they were racing from the Bridge down to Security, as contact with that section had been lost. Rounding the corner and coming down the stairs, the section was overrun with creatures. On the way...

Thank you. For a group that usually stays right on the rails, it was a surprise when they deviated so far. Still, I enjoyed being on my toes and am just trying to figure out how to get some of the key points in, that I think they'll enjoy, but are in danger of skipping.

A couple nights ago we started our War of the Dead campaign. I've been wanting to run this for a while and there was definitely some excitement among the players. I have a fairly large group to deal with, some of whom play remotely over google hangouts, so it was definitely a challenging session...

Following up on this thread: http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/325703-kids-night.html I had the option to run another night of kid's D&D. Last time it was 5 players, the oldest being 11, and the average around 8. This time we threw another 8 year old into the mix, and a 4...

I made Buffalo Chicken Mac n Cheese a few months ago. They couldn't get enough of it. Here is the recipe I started with: Sean’s Buffalo Chicken Macaroni and Cheese. Our Reason to Live I took some liberties with it, but it was outstanding. I put a bowl of blue cheese dressing and some...

Seconded for Savage Worlds. After running 4e from 1st to 30th level, my group had enough 4e for a while. We played around with the playtest and some AD&D and have actually decided we want a break from fantasy! So the next few sessions we'll be test driving a few Savage World's one sheets and...
