Hey, everyone, I was curious about something. At GenCon, I ran a couple sessions for the RPGA. During that time, a guy came around and offered a selection from a box full of the new D&D minitures. I grabbed a lizard man figure. On the bottom, it says "Gencon2, Any 5 / Lizardfolk" I recall...

Yeah, I played a CG goblin rogue/shadowdancer one time. It was pretty fun. It was cool zipping in and out of melee, offending the the guards then disappearing under their noses, and doing advanced scouting. It was really neat to have an unturnable shadow companion to find trouble with. Mine...

Yeah, DWARF, I have the same issue with you about what the rules say concerning a PC's background, and the given mechanics. In my campaign, I give +8 skill points at first level, +2 per level after that. I used to require that these bonus points be spent in roleplaying skills, like you...

In my Fantasy Earth campaign (OK, so I'm not one for cool names), the elves (and gnomes!) come from the Fairy Realms. I've seen this problem with Forgotten Realms players, too. :p ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ You can check out my game's web...

Just adding to the clamor.... ;)

Preach it, Brother! For me, this is the SINGLE most annoying thing about D&D. I'm just a little slow on the up-take... :D FM

An awesome GURPs fantasy campaign I played years ago was reasonably serious on most levels. There were, however, two particularly silly things about it that I remember: 1) While sailing the seas one time, we came upon a rope ladder hanging down from the sky. We anchored the ship and started...

Another welcome to Columbus! When I wanted to start a new group, I posted a note in a gaming store (it's now out of business). It took a while to get the number of players I like (6-8), but I did get there. Yeah, I had to handle a few "not quite a good fit" type of players, but it all...

Maerdwyn, That looks exactly like the figure I was talking about. Cool! FM

OK, I’m trying to come up with a name of a race of anthropomorphic animal, but trying to avoid that long term, and not use any previously used name. The people who would have named them are Roman-esque and speak Latin. Beyond looking up word derivations, I have not studied Latin (silly me for...

Yes! Although I don't think I'm much help beyond that. I don't remember the manufacturer. Several years ago, I found a hunchbacked figure for my 2e character, Grark, the mongrelman rogue. The only thing the figure carried was a set of keys. He had a very discernable hunchback, was bald...

1.) How many players in your group? I'm in two groups: Saturday: 7 people Sunday: 8 people 2.) Do you DM? Sat: rarely Sun: almost always 3.) Do other people in the group DM, and how many? Sat: Most of us take turns DMing. Sun: One other player has another group in which he is DM. 4.)...

This is a great idea! I would like to volunteer as a GM, or assist in any way I can. If I'm not needed for that, I definitely would like to play. Some thoughts: Old One's outline is awesome! Keeping players involved for as long as they wish, and not eliminating them, is a great idea. EN...

This was my first GenCon, and I had a blast. I'm hoping to return next year. I also volunteered to run two games for the RPGA. While I enjoyed running them, it was also enough of a hassle that I'm really on the fence as to whether I want to run next year. I'd like to hear about some...

delost23, That IS cool! I'd love to see pictures of it. FM

Norne, I'm also a middle school teacher (6-8 grade coomputers). I've been running a D&D group, started out of a gaming store, for the past three years. I've had six different kids in the middle school range as players. Furthermore, I'm also trying to get a gaming activity club started at my...

Hey, I'm curious. Did anyone else try the rotating restaurant on the top floor of the Hyatt? I think it was called "The Eagle's Nest." They had a dress code, but kindly let us grab a table while we were in our gamer garb. Certainly, one of the best meals I've ever had: Cajun swordfish with...

GenCon was a great time. I went with three other buddies from my long standing gaming group. The long lines were a shock. We had pre-registered for our badges, but didn't sign up for any games. Those lines convinced my one friend who suggested that we "wing it" to sign up early and often...

Morrus, I noticed that there was a seperate entry for the forums and for the EN World site overall. The page about the overall site has a piture of the home page, but links to a rather generic looking games search page. The Alexa page...

Let's see... I'm a 38 year old male, of Irish/German descent. I first heard about D&D in a review in Games Magazine around 1979/1980. I'm in two gaming groups. One group is made of old friends, and we play a variety of systems, occasionally highly house-ruled D&D3e (but currently Rifts)...
