okay theres a cool idea. lets get some more up here.

i recently rented a decent video game called the elder scrolls:morrwowind and they have a city called vivec that was so well designed that i put it right into my setting. it fits all your criteria, and im sure you could find a map of it if you looked around online. its definitely right up your...

I like to use spells from video games and movies and books and assign damge and statistics for them. i have my own notebook ive filled with them. maybe you could try to do the same, it definitely helps you put your own spin on your campaign and make it seem less ho-hum. not that your campaign is...

neato! good ideas! ive been trying to use fantasy literature setting that we grew up with and love but have neglected at large. im currently working on a region that is a narnia/redwall hybrid. maybe i can give some inspiration or you can drop some ideas in The Idea Pool. your obviously a...

alot of good ideas were posted by other DM's for campaigns and adventures in my other thread titled "so here's my problem", but i didnt have a good title. so heres a thought: post great DM ideas youve had here, that way all DM's who visit ENworld will have an "inspiration reference". it could...

from The 13th Warrior....(used occasionally by my desert people, the kadamites).... "At least i know who my father is, you pig eating son of a whore..." you could always go with the beat to death monty python french tauntings..... a few of my own... "cowardly vagrant! excrement speaks with...

with a town of only 20,000 people youd think id have heard of some oh the ones you named. yes i have decided! the god-city idea has already started, with my players currently investigating the connection between an orc raid, the snake cult of yig in the southern jungles of rahaja, and an...

well... if he killed the hobbit (or halfling if you prefer) in cold blood he is a murderer. if he was protecting his wife he is not. being a murderer is unacceptable in a lawful good alignment. if he violated alignment he is a level one fighter now until he atones...(at least according to...

there is a crappy store called EC books, which i pretty much bought out as far as RPG material goes. okay the store is crappy only in the rpg aspect. i usually have to go to belden village, or yard sales. if you had gamer friends in this area, Jeff Finucane is my stepdad....maybe you know me...

REd Steel is a really kick ass setting for at-sea adventures, just like birthright is really good for nordic adventures. neither one was terribly popular, at least as i recall, but most of the rules are available in the 2e players handbook. im sorry if i havent been of much help. i really like...

is blackmoor worth playing in your opinion?

not a redwall fan i take it?

"winging it" campaigns are usually full of plotholes, too convenient twists, ridiculous npc's and generic goals. basically it turns into a sitcom, and if i wanted to watch "dharma and greg vs. monsters" id flip back and forth between nbc and the scifi channel. there are two types of winging it...

if you have ever had kids join your game, they are the best for stupid moves and laughs....too much of that Dragonballz crap.... my brother, a ten year old who wanted to play because his brother was, asked to join. "well sure" says i, and teach him how to roll up a dwarven fighter. he goes on...

Hero Quest! oh wait that doesnt count...... probably gurps. or the chaosium system, except combat takes forever...

not a problem. if the thread has become offensive its fine by me if you remove it. ill keep what you said in mind.

i play a combination of all three, mostly 1e. with only minor tweaking all pre-3e systems are interchangeable. also the hackmaster system is pretty much the same thing with alot of comedy thrown in, so if you want to use those as supplements they work just fine. i wont convert to 3e because i...

BroccoliRage: changin' mah thread heah boss... Morrus: change the thread there, broccoli.... Luke: takin it off heah boss... Morrus: take it off there, Luke... all in good fun, morrus. no offense intended.

think of everything cool in every movie, book, video game and cartoon that is fantasy related that you have ever seen, choose a really good one, tone it down so your player can handle it without making it too easy, describe it in vivid detail without taking too long to do so, act really enthused...

oh man...i can relate with that....
