Kenzer matching Holy cr*p!!!! Where was that deal when I bought all the Kalamar product! :D What if I buy it all again?!?! :D Scarred Lands is pretty popular here on ENworld which is why I don't come too often. I found Kalamar after trying out a few settings that just didn't fit my...

Cheaters I can't vote as the option that is closest to what I do isn't quite on. I've run into cheaters at convention play, which is where it really bothers me. It can be handled in one fashion or another in a home game by talking to the person or threatening to throw him out. But at a...

The BoVD When KenzerCo did their Orcs book, they put a number of things in there regarding the horrible practices they humanoids commited. What happens when a town is destroyed, torture, slavery, etc etc etc. They even expanded upon the notion of female subjugation that is listed in WotC's...

To be quite honest, I don't usually stop in here too often. But tonight I was just in the mood and I'm certainly glad I stopped by because now I get to talk about my favorite setting! There are two settings I'd recommend, although I've only just picked up the book for the first. Wheel of...

What's it called? Wow, this is all a bit rough. With the explosion of games in the past few years, they've all adopted and held fast to their preference of what the man in charge should be called. Hackmaster-GM Kalamar-DM Living campaign-Judge Vampire-Storyteller Basketball-Referee ;) DM...

Which do I do first? I have to agree on that one. If I'm playing Hackmaster, you gotta let the dice fall where they may. But if I'm playing Kalamar or hell, even Vampire or some non D&D game, I almost always think of a character concept first. I don't like to play the same character in a...

Forced role playing I was DMing a campaign some time back and I was getting tired of how the group played the game (we soon split ways). It seemed like social interaction was just a deterrent to slow our encounters down. We only spoke to people if we were negotiating a fee. Otherwise, let's...

What I want for Christmas Actually, I just don't buy d20 books like I used to. Thinking of what I have and what I want, there are a couple of settings that I still haven't gotten to try out (like Slaine), but the only thing that's on every one of my Christmas lists is the Kingdoms of Kalamar...

FURY IN THE WASTELANDS: THE ORCS OF TELLENE Written by Paul "Wiggy" Wade-Williams, published by Kenzer & Co., $23.99 A review in two segments by Jim Cannon SYNOPSIS Chapter One: The Legend of the Orcs: Concerning the mythological beginnings of the orcs. Chapter Two: The Five Orc Species...

Kingdoms of Kalamar I'm one of the "ballot stuffers" meaning I'm a KoK fan who doesn't post regularly on this list (don't feel like having to argue whether or not my preference of games is appropriate, it's my preference). So, I'm here to support the setting I know and love, but rather than...

Ethics of publication And there's where you're going to continue to disagree with rpace, Nightfall. You're not a freelancer. You're a consumer. You're going to get a quality piece of work from a company that you're a fan of. What's the problem? But for those of us who do the work behind...

RJK/NG I don't post here that often. And reading all the different posts and replies in this conversation have caused me to remember why. A lot of the "debate" on this issue is grounded on an opinion of quality rather than facts. How many people here know and are willing to comment why...

What they looked for They probably did the same thing I've been doing on this thread. They read the core ethos and if it grabs them, they continue. If it doesn't, they move on. With 11,000 entries, you need to have your act together to come out as 1-11. If you can't do it in the first...

Re: Favorite Settings So, let me get this straight. You've never read it, only thumbed through it, but you know that it's generic and you could replicate it if need be. The quality of the Kingdoms of Kalamar is based on two things, it's flexibility and it's intelligence. KoK isn't a world...

Favorite Campaign Setting I got so tired of playing in settings like Forgotten Realms that for years we just made up our own worlds. We Planescaped for awhile, but it wasn't as gratifying as watching the world grow about you, realizing that your character was part of history. It was also nice...
