If you end up running this campaign for awhile it might be worth checking out George R.R. Martins A Song of Ice and Fire series. Books 2 and 3 had the best description of what life was like for regular people during a medieval war I have ever read. It gave me all kinds of ideas of how to run...

Hex hex fo sho yo

First off that was pretty grusome, might necessitate an alignment change. I found myself having an argument one gaming session about whether or not one could fight with all their toes broken. What a great hobby we have

That is so weird, everyone I have ever played with thought that fantasy races in shadowrun felt very artificial and the explanation behind them was absolute crap and therefore never included them into the game. I guess I just assumed most players felt that way (except the ones who only play...

We were having a discussion the other day about shadowrun and how most of us felt that they totally screwed up by shoehorning in all the fantasy races. However, a friend of mine made a point that customers play fantasy games expect those races in an RPG, and leaving them out would have...

Sam's club has a sturdy plastic foldout table that is 5' round for $100. it is the best thing we have ever used. It can hold a full sized map and still have room for books and such, and the best thing is everyone is the same distance from the map, no one at the end saying, "can you move my guy...

Really? those are the examples you come up with? I don't disagree with the concept, but if you gave me +3 armor of blood-bath and body works I would laugh, not be thank you.

I like that one a lot. Shields are very useful in the game I run, allowing you to potentially block attacks, so rendering them useless is a big deal. I've always loved maces, but they were never very cool in any of the RPG's that I played. When I read that they were used primarily to...

Last year at GenCon I visited a booth for an RPG that was just being released called Eoris Essence. The artwork and production values were amazing, but the system looked a little nutty. Anyone played this or have any word on what the system is like?

I just caught a few episodes of Deadliest Warrior this weekend, and while the show's format is a little repetitive and boring and repetitive I loved learning about the weapons. I never knew that the real weapons of history were so interesting. Maces that can crush through armor, clubs that...

I do love the idea of a halfling barbarian. I tried to play one in 3.5, he used claw gauntlets or some such, my though was he would jump on a guy and stab him real fast a bunch of times, like a little hobbit version of joe pesci. but alas, my DM would not allow it. Kudos for you for going...

There was a time when I would have loved this kind of thing myself, but unless you plan on writing the campaign from the ground up based on these backstories, you have almost no room to write anything of your own ideas without stepping on their toes. I mean who makes a fighter that won't kill...

First, let me say, this situation is almost as awesome as Charlie Sheen's life, bravo for being the creator of such circumstances. You say the town does have the personnel to detain the PC's, what would be awesome is to have the town pardon the PC's if they stay and help fight the horde. But...

I feel ya on that one. I don't know what it is, but most of the people I play with can easily recall or whip out some obscure rule or similar, proving they read the literature in depth, but when I give them a one page primer for a campaign which clearly spells out what kind characters not to...

Are you typing this thread at the game table during someone else's turn? if so I would wish I could bestow upon you negative xp. however if your doing this during down time then that is ok.

I agree with the DM. If you want to behave like that play any RPG video game ever made. If all the DM has to look forward to is the players being contrary, cocky and generally ruining his story it doesn't sound like fun to me. DMing takes a lot of time outside of the game, if players can't...

The Dark Loner, ah yes, I know him well. In highschool my group consisted mostly of players from the drama club. While all of them were a bit too dramatic, we had one player that was always the dark loner. So when I started a new campaign and I had everyone meet at a bar it went a little...

Realistic rules for using modern firearms and bullet proof vests. Using a semi automatic weapon you could fire a clip in a few seconds. A higher caliber weapon like a .45 would give you recoil which would modify your attacks, but a lower caliber pistol like a .22 wouldn't, however it wouldn't...

...... are you now, or have you ever been, Pat Glaub?

I guarantee you that if Paul WS Anderson is a member of ENworld you will see that monster in the next Resident Evil movie... and therefore it might not suck!
