    What were early gaming clubs like?

    I started playing (Basic) D&D around 1979 (jr high), as a neighborhood game played either at my house or my best friends. A few years later I started an after school D&D club that met on school grounds. I switched schools in 11th grade and could never get a club going, there, as most of the kids...

    Should a DM buy the player splats?

    unless you need a single-worded entry, in which case I submit my half-fiend vampiric ixitxachitl... the vampyrmyrmyxachitl ;)

    Should a DM buy the player splats?

    These problems never seem to pop up, for online games. My players never borrow my books and it is assumed that I do not allow the use of materials from books I do not personally own. That being said, of course DMs should buy player-oriented splatbooks. NPCs are the DM's characters, after all...

    Deciding your PC race.

    My next PC will be a Spellstitched Swarm-Shifter Dread Necromancer Emancipated Spawn Half-Scrag Sea Kin Lacedon with Aboleth Grafts... other than that I'm not overly picky. ;)

    [Spoilers] Has True Blood jumped the shark?

    It happened in the books, so I'm fine with it. However, at the end of the last season, when Russell was chained to a pole and Sookie was yelling at him, she screamed an expletive in a much lower register than her typical voice. When she introducing Talbot to the Disposal, her maniacal giggling...

    How do you make up Fantasy names?

    For my current undersea game, I head over to liveaquaria.com and purloin scientific names from fish, invertebrates, coral, and so on. For example, there is an NPC reef hag named Ciliaris and a blackwater hag named Diadema .

    Poll: What is the highest level you've ever gamed to?

    My highest-level PC was Serrus Rylon, a L19 human cleric. I played him for over 4 years in a face-to-face campaign. To my shame, his original name was Serpentus Reptileon... I was into herpetology back then. After last week's divvying of XP, the party in my online game reached L10 (45,010 xp)...

    Are "Pretty" Dungeons Better?

    When I was designing my interpretation of the Jungle of Lost Ships (World of Greyhawk), the current region where the party is adventuring, I began with the sparse information written in the ’83 Glossography. From that point forward, I looked to nature, to gauge the feasibility of such a site. I...

    Help on thinking up an ancient creature race.

    In a sylvan game I've had on the back burner for a decade, the susurrus is made from amber and is animated by a the hivemind of petrified insects encased within; trapped between life and death.

    Help on thinking up an ancient creature race.

    Desert, eh? How about a Susurrus? With a few changes... ever heard of Lightning Glass ? Envision a "race" created by lightning striking the desert sands. These creatures would have a chitinous exoskeleton, the sands turned to glass, and would consist of nothing else save magical sands...

    EN Worlders: Are You Normal Gamers

    Where was the option for "Abby-Normal"? Oh, and do imaginary psychiatrists count? No, I do not consider myself a "normal" gamer. The last time I ran a face-to face game was 1994. The last time I was a player in a D&D game was in the late 80s. Since 1995, it's been play-by-post and chat-based...
