Try this: Diagrams and Plans It has deck plans of the HMS Challenger, a 19th century scientific exploration sailing ship. It looks like a pretty generic ship, and the plans might be barely detailed enough to enlarge and use as a tabletop map.

The first functional playtest of the RPGtonight Online Living Game is about to start up. We are still accepting players and GMs. The more of each the merrier! Players are organizing themselves into parties and GMs will soon start recruiting parties to perform adventurous and nefarious deeds on...

You might try checking out our site, RPGtonight Free Online Virtual Tabletop for Role Playing Games - there are always a bunch of GMs looking for players and vice versa. Look in the forums and also in the "players wanted" and "games wanted" links on the left side of the main site page. We are...

Are there any Monty Python fans in your group? Here's some stuff that I remember from a module based on Monty Python and the Holy Grail published somewhere years ago. Some of these were meant to be written on paper and rolled up in "scrolls" that players could open and read: And now for...

Speaking of food. If you want to go all out, and have some cooking talent, google "medieval recipes" and go at it. For something less fancy but still medieval style, have separate plates in the middle of the table holding basic stuff like fesh cooked meat, a big round of cheese, a fresh baked...

As a strong supporter of free speech everywhere and an advocate of greatly restricted copy-rights I say: 1) Boycott the bastards pre-emptively. 2) If anyone is forced to eliminate the term "Army Builder" from their website, then they should also eliminate all mention of "White Wolf Games" and...

Our site (rpgtonight) is in need of 10 GMs and 50++ players to playtest on online tabletop style "living game" starting in March. I've just started posting notices on the major boards like this one, mostly in the games/gamers wanted sections, and we have a collection of people from our own...

So if I want to run a Star Wars game, what choices are there? Who else besides WOTC got a license and published something over the past three decades?.

I found some real paper that looks like parchment in a local art supply store once, but I've forgotten what it was called. I wound up crinkling it up repeatedly and tearing the edges to make it look more ancient. Try calling an art store up and see if they have anything. For online stuff that...

As a GM and player I get most of my inspiration from books, both fiction and non fiction. Right now its coming from G. R. R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series (The GRR stands for GRR! when's he going to finish the next #$&!%^ book!). I've based the society used in a campaign and in a living...

RPGtonight (an online virtual tabletop) is hosting beginner's games on most Saturday nights from 8PM EST to (?). These sessions use D&D 4e are designed mainly for people who are new to tabletop roleplaying, but we do let people in who are just new to 4e. Players must generate characters and get...

Does that mean that we have to pay Hussar every month now, instead of our service providers?:lol:

I think that by the time AD&D came out, exclusively dungeon adventures, mega or otherwise, were passe. This is just based on my experience - one person in one town - but by that time people were getting into larger campaigns involving cities, towns, caravans, etc. with the occasional dungeon...

I started back in 1979 or 80. I think the first hardbound books were just coming out then, but when we first started our GM was too cheap to buy them, so we used the old copy paper rules with hobbits in them. Ours were strictly homebrew dungeon adventures. I wouldn't call them mega...

I think my early experiences with dungeon crawl campaigns back in the early days inspired me to get into spelunking (cave exploring) - or maybe it was vice versa. I got into both at around the same time. I have heard that some people have been inspired to take up the hobby of exploring old...

Imagine that you are a first level character in a new campaign. Which of the following scenarios do you think would get you more hooked on that campaign, and why: 1) A "Lord of the Rings" scenario: you are suddenly thrust into a situation where your your actions can ultimately save the entire...

RPGtonight (a free online virtual tabletop) is once again sponsoring the May Mapmaking Challenge at Cartographersguild.com. This month's theme is "Cut to the Chase!" in which mapmakers vie to create a map, for use on virtual or real tabletops, that can be the scene of an exciting chase and...

My 2 cents worth: Tabletop RPGs are collectively a *type* of game, like board games, card games, etc. are. WOTC can't destroy the RPG industry any more than the largest board game manufacturer could destroy the board game industry by pulling out of it. They could seriously shrink it by...
