  1. Eosin the Red

    I used to LIKE third edition...

    I have a 6 point plan for you. Play Games that you like with people whom you like Ignore system attacks on the 'net but speak mightily against flanking attacks on persons be they 1E, 2E, 3E, 4E or Hero Heads like me. Turn all games into idea mines so that each has value and inherent worth. If...

    Farewell to thee D&D

    Actually, it does mean something to many of us. I never want to hear my surgeon say, "This'll be my second one!" I don't want my accountant saying, "Wow, I was a dentist for 20 years all this new math is exciting!" We live in a meritorious society but a great deal of merit comes from time...

    If Paizo had gone 4E ...

    I've never been a system snob. 3E, 4E, it doesn't matter to me as long as the writing and story is good.
  4. Eosin the Red

    Fantasy authors worth the reading.

    David Gemmell reads like John Wayne movies. The plot is basically the same as are the characters but man it is a rollicking time. Martin - nuff said. New Guys The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch Elenium by Brandon Sanderson (who is taking over for Jordan) The Gods of War (Caesar & Brutus)...

    Vigilante Style RPGs

    I was thinking about a vigilante style game, no doubt inspired by Batman. I typically use Hudson City: Urban Abyss for this style of game but found myself wondering what else was out there. I have some hodge-podge ideas swirling about in my head but I don't want to overly limit myself. So, if...

    Temporary front page

    The site seemed normal last night but is dragging today.

    Literary (and other) settings wishlist

    I'd like to see a good treatment of The Lies of Lock Lamora. Also, a good treatment of Elantris by Brandon Sanderson - the magic of that world rocks. Last but not least would be David Gimmell's Drenai world. I'm already getting George R.R. Martins Song of Ice and Fire by Green Ronin so I can...

    Leaving ENworld at last

    I'll second the "I'd like to see an example" comment to prove that this is not a crazy Paizo conspiracy theory.

    Designing the Perfect Gods for Your Campaign

    I don't really do the gods thing. There are various "beyond human understanding" entities (or maybe those are explanations of natural order) who have active religions. The main proponents of the greater gods and the spirits that most would consider to be gods are actually a disparate group of...

    Most iconic non-fantasy adventures?

    Hudson City Blues for Dark Champions is my nomination. A dark and violent world similar to Gotham is in the midst of a gang war -- only this war is different and your vigilante is sucked right into the middle of it. There are psychopathic good guys, honorable bad guys, and a race against the...

    Hulk vs Thor/Hulk vs Wolverine trailers

    Peter David could really spin some amazingly great Hulk stories. I don't see Hulk taking out Asgard but it could still be a good story.

    Adventure Paths: Which Ones Are You Enjoying?

    I'm running the Rise of the Rune Lords -- starting with the Skinsaw Murders in Hero System. Man, is it a riot. One player gets "picked on" a little in this module and man is she creeped out. Fear Factor rates right up there with my original run of Ravenloft.

    Historical Fiction (books)

    Conn Iggulden has some great Caesar vs Brutis stuff. I hear his Atilla series is shaping up nicely as well.

    Finally have a new campaign up and running!

    Welcome back. I really wish you luck with the website. As you mentioned there is not caboodles of Hudson City information out there and it is about as close to gaming in Gotham as one can come with an A++ city guide. PS - you may want to have this moved to plots and places. Nothing stays on the...

    Rise of the Runelord Resources?

    Anyone know where I can land some RotRL resources? I'm looking for some of the graphics (the Sihedron Rune), mini adventures, and storyhours. So, post 'em if you've got 'em. Thanks.

    Dark Knight

    A long, ugly, dark, and disturbing road... I loved it.

    Taking a Break

    GoodKing, Don't feel alone. I don't visit nearly as much as I normally do and I find myself more snappish with threadcrappers. I just tone down the visits for a month or two and then recheck the site. I've always considered this a place for roleplayers not for which edition or which brand of...

    Green Ronin not signing GSL (Forked Thread: Doing the GSL. Who?)

    Bully for GR and Paizo. I know that I continue to support both companies with my wallet. Both continue to garner fan respect if the ENNies are any indication. I haven't played D&D in a long time which makes me strangely suspicious of those who do not wish such fantastic companies well. What...

    Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time Series"

    I love knowing what the Dable Bros are doing and this is the place I discover that... Like Mark, I have interacted with him for years in the media forum and the art/mapping forum. Just saying.

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo cherry picks

    Forget cherry pick, I am running the Skinsaw Murders pretty much out of the box. I haven't run a strait adventure in years.
