Greetings... Well, despite the fact that one person I have gamed with is schizophrenic and the numerous stories I could tell about her... and the soap opera that is her life... Or the guy who fancied himself a 'witch', and said he was a Wiccan, but liked to call himself a 'warlock', who...

Greetings... First, I'll list the d20 ones, they aren't exactly far enough away from D&D because they use the d20 system...but these 'cousins' are interesting enough for me to want to try them. Farscape: Loved the show, so would love to see how this plays. Wheel of Time: Again, love the...

Greetings... I always used to play Neutral Good, or Chaotic Good, but when those Alignment Quizzes came out. I've always thought they were a great idea, and helpful when designing a new character. Running my typical character concept through it though, I find that most of my characters...

Greetings... Now, usually I can understand most Acronyms. The internet ones, some of the time, the D&D ones that relate to the core books most of the time. But I have to ask, is there an Acronym Thread somewhere that is organizing and collecting all of the acronyms we use?

Greetings... Thankyou guys... I appreciate your complements. I've always been a fan of Ars Magica, and it's 'stay at home' instead of 'wandering adventurers' mentality. Ever since my eyes were opened to that campaigning method, I've always tried to steer my own games, whether they be...

Greetings... Would you care to elaborate? It sounds very interesting, and would love to know everything about it. The prophecies, the various plots/stories, the reoccuring/important NPCs.

Greetings... Well, like everyone else here. If I do use a pre-generated world, I let the chips fall where they may. If the players change the world setting/politics, they change it. Like most, I say 'forget the canon'. But I also avoid canon for another completely different reason other...

Greetings... Well, there are always roads from one place to another. The question is, where do these roads go, and why are these places important? First, there are some questions to consider. Why does the king want to colonize the Stonelands? What's on the other side of the...

Greetings... I agree with everyone here. When I saw the title to this thread, I thought of the DM who took me under his wing, and taught me D&D and roleplaying. Roleplaying, and especially DMing can largely be a learned skill. I think most of us learn from the DMs that we encounter. I...

Greetings... Sounds like a plan Steve, considering how close you are. Still in the same place? Still doing your thing on Sunday? When I get things settled around here, namely, finding a steady job, I'll give you a hollar.

Greetings... What I would love to see is a generic magic system like the one used in Ars Magica.

Greetings... So, let me get this straight... If your foolish enough to unscrew the cap when the rocket is under pressure, it might have a tenancy to fly off and forcably project itself? Also, if you don't pay attention to the rocket when it is launched there is a chance that it might...

Greetings... What?! You actually use a table now!? Maybe I should have stuck around for that. *grins* Is Ian still in your group?

Greetings... Yes... there was always an 'urban legend' that there was an abandoned subway station here in Toronto, that they use for filming. Now, it might all sound cool to you, but for me...reading blogs like Infiltation gives me the willies, because I've done stuff like this. One of...

Greetings... I have known players like this in various incarnations for many years. The problem is, they will never become what you would like them to be, to be a little more cohesive to the group. I've known players who want to be the gimmick-guy. Thankfully, they grew out of it. One...

Balance? Balance?! We don't need no stinkin' balance! Greetings... Thusly, this goes to prove why 7th Sea is a great game, and Swashbuckling Adventures d20 sucks bilge water. But seriously... Well, the way I see it is there are two types of balance, and you touched on both. Mechanical...

Greetings... Also, another thing that I would throw in to such a game, is the occational comic relief. Monsterous NPCs that they have to interact with...go see the minotaur who lives just outside of town who just happens to have a flatulence problem. This kinda thing can also backfire...

Greetings... Well, a friend of mine and I both agree that travelling should be difficult, and tiring. After all, the word 'travail' and 'travailling' has evolved into the word 'travelling' to mean a slightly, and then eventually, totally different meaning. As such, we have houserules where...

Greetings... I did toy with the idea of upping the base skill points per level. x2 becomes x4, x4 -> x6, x6 -> x8, and x8 -> x10. Of course, this still makes the Rogues and Bards and now Rangers high on the skills and Fighters and Wizards still on the short end of the stick. Albeit, they...

Greetings... I have seen everything in terms of online gaming. Mushes, PBeM, WebRPG, ICQ and IRC. Ultimately, I think the best thing is IRC, with ICQ/MSN/Yahoo running a close second. But only for live situations. Personally, I would go with a Message Board/Email combination, with IRC...
