No, it's not a joke setting. I've found, over the course of reading multiple threads on multiple boards, that those people who call it a joke setting have never played. Some, to their credit, have at least looked through the books, but so many have just heard about the things you've mentioned...

Although I'm hesitant to flat out agree (as I'm not sure if I agree with the concept of shared ownership), I will comment on the buzz, which is a very real feeling. The first time I had a play produced it was in front of thirty people and I was tingling all over (and not from the fever I had at...

PPP Yeah, there's Merric and Sayburr and I was there for a handful of months. ;)

Greyhawk license You're actually incorrect on this matter. When KenzerCo secured the license for the 1e/2e engine that is the rules basis for Hackmaster, it included older material such as the rogues galery of Mordenkeinen, Robilar, Tenser and the rest as well as modules (which they have...

Kenzer rights to products This is actually incorrect. When KenzerCo secured the rights for the 1e/2e engine, they got certain things to go along with it. Old modules and names of NPCs (Mordenkeinen, Robilar and the rest of the gallery). They expressly cannot use the name Greyhawk and this...

Metahumans in Kalamar Okay, you lost me on that one. What is a metahuman and where are they mentioned in the Kalamar setting?

Weapons everywhere! I'm a big fan of the Scythe. ...actually, most of the weapons I use are two handed, but the scythe is one of my favorites. I also like dual-wielding two daggers. I had a halfling paladin who used a club two handed, that was fun. I'd like to dual wield clubs just for the...

Spycraft I own both books, but I don't plan on using d20 Modern. If I'm going to play in a modern setting, I'm either going to play Vampire or I'm going to play a Spy game, so Spycraft is exactly what I want.

It boils down to a matter of worth. Although I'm sure I'm the minority, I didn't get the book for its mechanics, I got it for the first five chapters. (Although I did enjoy some of the new feats and I had developed my own system of summoning circles because I don't think the method for...

If you like Hackmaster you're absolutely correct.

SLvsKOK What I don't tell many people is that I actually ran my campaign in the Scarred Lands before I ran it in the Kingdoms of Kalamar. And, of course, a campaign is what the DM makes of it. But if you are not looking for a campaign to buy and then fiddle with, just to use as is, the two...

Setting with modules If you want modules, check out the Kingdoms of Kalamar. They have a large number of modules for their setting (as well as some modules that can be used in any d20 setting). Even some of their sourcebooks have adventures. Fury in the Wastelands: the Orcs of Tellene has...

Cities The two I use most frequently are (of course) both from the Kingdoms of Kalamar, but they fit what I want out of a city. Narr-Rytarr, the Lost City is in the wild north, along the shore of a mighty lake (read: sea) and tucked nicely into a monster filled forest. Great for adventuring...

Sanctuary Oooo, I own the board game! That thing rocks! ...I haven't played in awhile. Sounds like it's time to bust that thing back out.

Kalamar Atlas They actually have forty different maps of cities already done and those were supposed to be included in the Atlas. Unfortunately, the price was rising higher than they wanted so the cities were removed. Instead, they'll put out a city book. Suggestions have been made to...

XP I think that's the perfect answer. Don't think of it as being cheated out of XP. Think of it as having your advancement slowed so you can enjoy yourself that much more! In my games, I give out XP when the party has had a significant time to rest (typically a full night's uninterupted...

Regions Texas and Oklahoma are the Bandit Kingdoms, Louisiana I believe is part of Yeomanry and New Mexico is part of the County of Urnst.

How to get started Well, most if not all living campaigns use yahoo! groups to discuss and organize their specific campaigns. So if you're wanting to get started in any living campaign that would be the best place to start. Just ask. I'm sure there are plenty of people who will tell you if...

Although most of the D&D Living campaigns utilize yahoo! groups for their messaging, I was wondering how many people on these boards participate in living campaigns. Do most of you play only home campaigns? Or do you take the time to head out to conventions and play some modules with...

I've actually had this discussion with people on other boards. First impressions are crucial. And my first impressinos of ENworld were not positive in the slightest. I was under the impression that it was a gaming forum in general. What's my favorite? Kalamar but a long shot. It is my...
