    Hobby/Game Stores in Malls...

    I don't know if it's a 'Mall' per se but here in Aus we have Ace Comics and Games in the CBD of Brisbane. It's not in a shopping center, just one of the shops down the walking only areas.

    It is not long before you begin to hear some feet tromping towards the kitchen where you stand. What do you want to do?

    Brainstorming: A Tropical Island D&D Vacation

    Try for a bit of a holiday feel. Things might be hard, but a bit of humor would be nice. A villain they know is also on holiday and you agree to a truce to avoid killing each other.. and work together against something that everyone swears never to mention again. Like an invasion of Flumph...

    Designing a trap-filled tower

    Traps need to be done right. I'm not super sure of what your tower itself looks like, so I'll give some advice. 1. Ability to toss enemies down or off the tower. 2. Either traps that should be there or traps that are designed to drive away intruders from certain areas. Avoid Damodar's...

    Originally the barrier was a wall, that you 'opened' with magic. How it opened is somewhat up to you, though as it is Rego the results would stay as they are unless other magic changes them back.. or a team of men spent a day or two re-mortaring. Indeed, the aura is holy, though not massively...

    Ars Magica - Experiences

    http://www.enworld.org/forum/playing-game/266090-ars-magica-5e-rhine-tribunal-1220-a-19.html#post5173692 I hope that works. Please understand that everything that has happened in that post is about one session worth of real-time gaming. Hmm.. perhaps I should explain what I mean, and I can...

    As soon as Leo's fangs are bared, a scream of 'Lion!' shrieks from the novices, and they run screaming for help through one of the doorways.

    Ars Magica - Experiences

    I'm currently running a Play by Post on these messageboards at the moment, and I must admit that the game is far more difficult to run; while I am enjoying the pbp game, I would prefer to run it in person. As opposed to Tikk's post I find that adventuring is 80% and 20% is doing the paperwork...

    A couple of young women in white habits stare at you as the door to a food-preparation chamber opens with a trumpets blast. There is a moment of shocked silence. Then one of the young women makes a hand gesture to the others, and they start backing away, out one of the nearby doors.

    Shayuri: No drama whatsoever. I find I have to re-look at everyone's character sheet anytime anyone makes a roll anyway :D. There appears to be nothing illusionary about the door.. however, the slight magical feel of the covenant does seem to end at the wall, and a holy one, ordered and...

    Thanks for your suggestion, TikkchikFenTikktik! Indeed I enjoy Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying a lot; it is my favorite setting and system (2e at least) after Ars Magica, though the magic in that is far more dangerous to the user. Despite being a teacher, I'd like to think most of my players are...

    Walking down the small corridor and up quite a number of stairs, you find yourself looking at a stone wall, looking somewhat less aged than the stones around it and likely made of a different kind of stone.

    Players: Does anyone else not mind railroading?

    I try to mix the two, though my current game obsession is Ars Magica which doesn't lend itself to truly railroady play. I generally run games like this. Adventure 1, I hit them with something strait out of the box. After they deal with it, things get a little more relaxed. After adventure 1...

    Shayuri: I had a look at Illshana's character sheet. While you have the ability to take Faerie Lore, you don't actually seem to have it; in this case, no particular information is available to you. All of you leave the room where you spent the night. There is a feel of early-morning solitude...

    Perfect Combat System? Not too short, not too long, but just right?

    An oldie but a goodie is True 20. Still d20 but instead of hit points it measures steadily increasing status problems. Playing it with planescape, (Game is awesome to do pretty much anything), I found that with a single character it is quite possible to kill very large creatures without endless...

    I'm sorry your players aren't to your liking, Pogre (:D:D) I thought it was interesting when DrunkonDuty is not for 'casual' gamers. I'm pretty sure most of my players are fairly casual.. what do you guys think? System is just too much for gamers who don't want to invest past beer and chips?
