    Gaming with friends, jerks, and reactions

    Don't let the thread get you down. It was a thread specifically made asking about bad experiences that gamers on ENWorld have had. From a pool off 100, 000 gamers, yeah, there's going to be a lot of bad experiences, but we've all collectively had many more good experiences gaming too(I guess if...

    The Role of the Wizard, or "How Come Billy Gets to Create a Demiplane?"

    Professor Cirno. I've read through this thread and a bit from the one that seemingly made you want to make it(the one about dnd flaming out around page ... 17ish I think). I think you're right. The RAW gives spellcasters all sorts of opportunities for narrative control, albeit limited by daily...

    What cool things are happening in your campaigns RIGHT NOW!

    We have a high level evil party(between 26 and 31) who are helping an evil emperor find a pile of evil books to take over the world and just recently started a good campaign in the same world of characters who may rise up to challenge the evil party. Elsewhere in the same world I've got a...

    Castle Ravenloft Boardgame

    My group played it this weekend after the FLGS finally got their poop in a group and honoured a passed-over pre-order(fume ... RAGE ... snort). Although we're staunch 3e players it looked promising and we gave it a shot. Good game. Some of the rules took a couple of re-reads, but it was just as...

    Everything I need to know, I learned from D&D

    No matter what resistances and/or immunities your opponent might have, no-one is immune to a good old-fashioned ass-kicking.

    Gliese 581g - A Tidally Locked DnD World

    Y'knw, I betcha that if one were a lich who wanted to be left alone do to one's studies, a great place to build a fortress would be the dark pole of the planet.

    The Dungeon Master: A short story in the New Yorker

    I agree. I've seen this writing style before; reminds me of Catcher in the Rye. I didn't like it then and I don't like it now. Still, thanks for the link ppaladin123.

    Crazy things in a campaign

    I may have posted this before, but in the campaign that I'm currently playing, I've had two separate characters of mine who have been killed, then brought back as undead, then destroyed, and then resurrected back to life. What's weird is that this has never happened to any of the other players.

    Has the Wandering Monster concept died?

    I always liked to use 'random' encounters to display to the group any effects their activities(or the bad guys') have had on the regular world. An example is the party trying to stop a BBEG from merging part of the far realm with the prime. Random monsters and people are appropriately 'mutated'...

    Sorry to see you go, Stormy. Hope it goes well for you. Drop back in and 'see' us again when time permits.

    Lines you've always wanted to use in game...but never have.

    The party was a on a search for a set of evil books (Book of Vile Darkness, Necronomicon, Thesis Maleficarum, etc.) and had located one on a small planet in another plane. They could see the book sitting on a pile of treasure in a strange pool of water and a couple were(rightfully) wary of the...

    What does your ENWorld name mean?

    When I got my very first email address with hotmail, I was able to get 'Goblyn'. I thought that was pretty impressive that i got a hotmail address that was just a word with no numbers attached or anything and I've still got that address. That and 'Goblin' was taken.

    D&D 3.x gamers who skipped 4e, why are you not "upgrading" to Pathfinder?

    My group wasn't wowed by 4e and I'm the only one who'd ever heard of Pathfinder. Even so, we'd likely stay with 3.5 because we all know it quite well and any neat ideas from other games are easy to implement. Some such: -skill challenges from 4e -action points from d20 modern -unlimited...

    non-4e D&D Players . . .

    Initially, I was hopeful ... But now, probably not; which makes me sad. 4e both before and after Essentials looks really fun, and the thing that bothered me about 4e; the way the classes were; was what was being changed. Yay! But in play, on both sides of the screen, it was just ... boring. And...

    Preview of the new D&D COmic!

    Thank you for chiming in, Mr Rogers. It's always nice when the creators of DnD related stuff have a presence in our little corner of the internet. So ... ignorant of any clues I may have missed, what setting is this story taking place in? A take on the points-of-light setting intended for 4e...
