Sending...the `twitter` of D&D.

Battlestar Galactica for a session, online with a buddy. We have to revisit that game I think...

I seek out boxed sets whenever I can, whether new or old. For example, I just picked up the second edition Star Trek RPG from Fasa at Noble Knight. I used to own it back in the eighties but lost it during one of my many moves. When I got it I had that same feeling of excitement I always feel...

I own Dungeon World and bought it on a whim as it was, as you say, dirt cheap at the time. The concept of Dungeon World is pretty cool with a really good lead-in idea on how PCs wind up in Dungeon World. It's a fully realized campaign universe that can be tied into any mythos. There are plenty...

I picked up the Gamemastery Treasure Chest from Paizo. It's one of the sturdiest built boxes I have ever seen. It's filled with card sets, a campaign workbook, an adventure and a flip map. Just so cool.

I take the approach that some detail is good if it doesn't directly impact what you want in the campaign. If you try to include the 'kitchen sink" you run into the danger of writing yourself into a corner. Focus is important in any campaign so that your players become more center stage. Throw...

Being such a detail freak (seriously, I have issues) I find myself thinking about names in my homebrew and of course of the names used in any adventure and campaign setting. Allow me to explain... When a published adventure or campaign setting has a name for a particular NPC they always have...

I'm running my decades long homebrew called Morvia. I read the campaign book for Golarion and feel that for the region known as Golarion is WAAAAYYYY too busy and crammed filled with every possible idea that they could come up with and stuffed into an area slightly larger than Europe.

I sit firmly in the none of the above camp. The list seems to be the usual fare that a new fantasy RPG "has" to roll out. Once the core rulebook is out, it seems that the usual line that follows is what's on the list. I'd like to see Paizo break that mold and bring in something that doesn't...

Some things never change. I brought this up as a topic of concern myself a few years ago. I had the same issues. Your post is nearly a carbon copy of my own, and the responses you're receiving now are somewhat the same that I got back then. I had a a couple of players who were hell bent on...

Thanks for your efforts. As I said, it really remains intuitive to use and I like that I can get in, add something to it, and get out on the fly without having a vast knowledge of wiki syntax. Are there other additions you'll be making to the site?

Man, if I was the head of WOTC I would be reading this thread because there are some pretty good ideas here.

Well, after trying out both Wikidot and OP, and even though I said that Wikidot would be the site I would be using for my campaign world, but after trying both out, I have to reconsider and say that Obisidian Portal is actually the one I'll be using. Although Wikidot has more space for the...

And it's wikidot for the win!! I stumbled upon them before you posted and have now started my Morvia page. I'll post a link once I feel that it has something to show. I'm still in the early data entry stage. Once I have something more appealing than just text, I'll post it here.

Obsidian Portal looks to offer what I need but I think the space they provide is very limited. I have allot of maps to up load that had been rendered through photoshop and though I have saved them in a format that takes little hard drive space there are a allot of them.

I am thinking of committing my campaign world of Morvia in a Wiki format. The thing is so big and unwieldy that no binder or filing system is going to fit everything. On a wiki site, I can easily control the information including all of the maps (I have 3 4" binders filled with maps of towns...

A player of mine had a character death. They were pretty bummed during the rest of the campaign. So I handed him a note saying that his character was a ghost. I told him to take the MM and apply the ghost template to his character and come back to the table. When he was done the combat was over...

That can be the difference with an established setting like Eberron as opposed to a homebrew (although it doesn't always have to be.) To get my players involved in the game world and to invest their interest I get them to create a part of their world. If they say they are from village X on...

We could print up pre-dorrito-stained shirts with the slogan "My Elf Sorcerer just reached level 20 and all I got was this lousy dorrito-stained shirt!" Huh? HUHH??

Trying to get my group together for a game I would imagine.
