Looks like there are at least a few ENworlders who will be at Gamehole Con this year. I hope things work out for you to go. With the housing portal opening this weekend, I thought it was a good time to start a thread on Gamehole Con: https://www.enworld.org/threads/gamehole-con-2025-thread.712345

Yes, I love it when my failing memory can just be explained away by "well nobody knows for certain", "there are conflicting rumors", and the fact that it is more accurate that PCs would have a very limited, and often incorrect, understanding of history, wider politics, and distant cultures and...

Sorry, but who is Alex? I generally don't attend 5e games, but I've not played with the new rules, so I might sign up for at least one. My main problem with adventurer's league has been that I'm always playing a 1st-level character because I don't regularly play in AL games. I love the AL...

Anyone else hate the name "Gamehole" for a convention? :)

I should know better than to use the word "finally" in a post. Another thing I am wondering about are the recorded live plays. I attended a couple sessions last year. Some of them were very entertaining, but almost nobody attended them. I realize that most of their audience will be those...

For a serious post. Regarding housing, the hotels are all an easy walk to the con, some however require crossing very busy streets (very very busy during rush hours). If you have mobility issues, you can still drive and park and they are opening up a whole new parking lot this years, so...

Thought I I would start a thread here in the hopes other ENworlders attend Gamehole Con to discuss the con. Since the housing portal opens soon, I thought I would start this thread by recommending that everyone take it easy, sleep in late on Sunday, and be ready to book your rooms Sunday...

Just ordered a pineapple pizza to be delivered to my family, while I'm in a different state. The above sentence is likely to be interpreted very differently by different participants in this thread. 1. So sad. You didn't get any of that pineapple pizza. 2. How nice of you to arrange a tasty...

@Ruin Explorer and @el-remmen already covered in detail many of my feelings. I'll add that for me, personally, I can enjoy being a player in canon-heavy IP TTRPG. From my perspective as a player, it is no different than a GM who has a detailed world her or she created from scratch. Just let me...

Yep! Quite a few of us in rubber‑binder land. Although I now live a state over in the land of water bubblers, beer-cheese soup, and da turdy point buck.

Ah, you haven't experienced the joy of not having to pick up your stuff. Separate bathrooms are nice, but even having two sinks with ample counter space can make a huge difference. One thing I miss from living in Taiwan is because most people live in apartments and just don't have a lot of...

Sounds like a fun read. In reality, it don't know that raptors would do all that much better against fire arms. I would probably want to do an alt‑history where there was a larger and more sustained attempt by early vikings to take territory in North America. Your "underhill" campaign sounds...

I taped that episode on VHS when it came out. It really did make a difference to have an avuncular spokesperson speaking common sense in response to the insanity of that time. In the When We Were Wizards podcast it was interesting how upset he was with how he felt set up and ambushed by 60...

My response as GM reading both spells from the two different systems is..."challenge accepted!" :devilish:

What about alt-history? An old west where racism doesn't exist? The problem with old west is going to be who will be the antagonist which is generally going to mean taking on one human group based on history against another. Unless you do a cowboys vs. aliens style game.

I set up a Windows 11 ARM VM in Parallels on a MacBook Pro 14", Nov 2023, 18 GB memory, Sequoia 15.3.1. No matter how much memory I allocated to the VM it crashes. Maybe someone could get emulators to run run on an older Mac with an Intel chip. For me, I was able to install it, set up my...
