Nope, I'm a 1st Generation gamer. Though it was my mother's uncle that probably sparked the interest. He was some sort of youth adviser and would take teens (16-17) on cross country trips in the summer, during these long van rides the kids were playing D&D and he thought it might be something...

After 2 long years of gaming exile, I have returned to civilization. Upon returning I have discovered that my former group is nearing a state of collapse and while I enjoy gaming with them I don't particularly like the idea of starting up just to have that group evaporate. So I am in search...

I agree with Ranger REG. While I'm a relatively tech savvy guy, I'm not all enamored with the push to make everything electronic. I love books (all books) and have a rather extensive library, both gaming and otherwise. I will continue to purchase books (and I don't count them if I print them...

I use the clear plastic fishing tackle boxes, you can somewhat customize the size of each partition. More importantly I can just look at the top of the box and see what mini is where.

I tried to like Downer. I choked my way through each month, hoping that I would some day find it entertaining. I have given up, the last couple of strips I have just skipped altogether and I likely won't be returning. Some may enjoy it, such is your choice and I won't condemn you for it. For...

I haven't used fantasy names for my kids, though I never thought to run any past my wife. However my son, Joshua Michael, bears the same name as my Cyberpunk character. My daughter Emerson, bears the name of my GURPS Steampunk character - Emerson Kensington III.

The campaign world I'm developing is somewhat related to what Hopeless is suggesting. I'm not using the Realms, I'm going with Greyhawk, but that's just a matter of taste. Instead of wiping out all magic (even for just a short period) I'm removing arcane magic, the reverse of Dragonlance. I'm...

Other - Fluffer elves...oh wait, that wasn't the question, now was it.

I second this recommendation. I absolutely love Torn Asunder, of course I was always a fan of detailed critical hits, and have made many of the rules contained in it standard house rules for all my campaigns.

As a GM I love Homebrews because it gives me absolute creative control, though in my case I share that creative control with TerraDave (his comments are already posted above). While the homebrew I use has many of the familiarity benefits traditional settings have, due to the fact that it has...

I know I've posted a similar request here before, unfortunately I can't find the thread to bump it. I'm an exiled gamer living in the Mini-Cassia area (Burley) and I am searching for other gamers. I'm willing to travel to Twin Falls and Jerome, if I can find a good bunch of players. While D&D...

My next campaign is going to use the 3 generic classes from UA, as I think they fit my desired concept for my homebrew campaign world. As the campaign world is roughly based on our own Earth (for details, click the link in my sig) I have wanted to run campaigns in various time periods (i.e...

They use mineral spirits ;)

I do indeed use an online homebrew. Of course it isn't someone elses, entirely, TerraDave and myself developed it. The link is in the .sig

First and foremost, I am not mistaking this for d20 Modern, I know what I'm looking for (I have all the d20 Modern stuff) and this isn't it. Now to explain. The homebrew I use, Terra Viejo, is a world very similar to our own. Human history evolved much like that of Earth's, i.e. the Roman...

I used to collect and paint mini's religiously, amassing a rather large collection. Of course that was back when I had a face-to-face group to play with. I'll admit my painting skills are mediocre at best, but it was fun to show off my latest painted mini to my group. There was also the fun...

I plan to change most of the names in it, simply to fit it into the campaign world. As the homebrew I use is based on Earth, I'm placing the Savage Tide campaign in the Age of Piracy. I plan to have the whole campaign take place in the Caribbean and instead of the Isle of Dread, it will be the...

Thanks, email sent. Hopefully something will come of it. Next time I'm in Boise I'll stop in.

It's funny, I start this thread in a desperate hope of finding gamers in my area (Burley/Twin Falls) and it gets hijacked by gamers in my old stomping grounds of Boise. Gamers that are only marginally seeking other gamers, but are instead using my thread to discuss how thriving the gaming...

Your subject line actually got me thinking about a twist on the traditional "you all meet in a bar." Over the years I've spent some time in bars, particularly during college, and I've met numerous people in these bars. During my many hours I have heard the words "Hey, we should go do . . ."...
