    barsoomcore's Swashbuckling Cards?

    Hola. So I don't think that barsoomcore posts here anymore but his world, Barsoom, formerly located at http://barsoom.hyboria.net/ is pretty rad. One of the resources he had on his site was a .doc with a bunch of things he called Swashbuckling Cards. They're basically usable cards that can give...

    Itchin' to run somethin' -- you pick!

    Just a bump I will offically close the polls THIS FRIDAY, as in December 2nd, so if you're planning on voting for something or asking a question or whatever you've got this week. I would go ahead and start the recruitment thread for whatever's leading at the moment right now but this is a...

    The coolest looking genre?

    Definately steampunk. I'm glad it's gotten so popular, I remember when no one had any idea what I was talking about when I'd mention it. Required reading: The Difference Engine by William Gibson and all of China Mieville's work.

    If you could create a brand new d20 game...

    Seconding Fallout d20, which I managed to do with Gamma World d20 rules with minimal slapping around. :D

    Itchin' to run somethin' -- you pick!

    Right now, it looks like Does Anything Matter if You're Already Dead? is winnin'. :D But I'll let a bit more time pass before I decide to make a recruitment thread. BTW, Becca Bot is my girlfriend in real life, so she's guaranteed a spot in whatever I run. Keep voting! Also, yes, post...

    Itchin' to run somethin' -- you pick!

    C'mon now, not having copies of the books isn't a problem. I can help you out with any info you'd need. 'Sides, in a Call of Cthulhu d20 game it's more scary if you don't have the book.

    Itchin' to run somethin' -- you pick!

    Hola! :cool: Well, I'm back around ENWorld and even though it's finals time, it's crunch time for folks at work, and I'm running a Black Company d20 game IRL, there's nothin' like a PbP game to keep the ole' narrative skills sharp. So I'll run somethin'. But you pick! Choices are... Rivets...

    How do you move things along in a campaign?

    Yah, I agree, it's never fool-proof and you often get surprised which is where one's degree in :):):):):):):):)ting comes in handy. But I use a couple of tricks to make the appearance of free will, without all the troublesome choices. --I think it was somewhere on these forums, but someone said...

    How do you move things along in a campaign?

    I try and get my PCs to have goals their characters are perusing in mind -- sometimes it's tough to get them together from their plots and stuff. :D But I run open campaigns usually so it's not a big deal. Aside from intrinsic PC goals, have the town be alive around them. Festivals, muggings...

    What weapons, classes, races...

    I'm running a Black Company d20 game so it goes like this: Abel Nightroad, Academician 2/Weapon Master 1 -- Using a longspear, at the moment, usually capped to resemble a quarterstaff. Bianca Ruby, Wizard 3 -- She's usin' a metal gauntlet that also serves a cosmetic purpose in that it hides...

Unfortunately, I don't have the time right now since I am being naughty and staying up but let me just say: TALES OF WYRE by Sephulchrave and jonrog1's DARK*MATTER story hour are...

    Killing the Beast \ Getting a Paycheck

    Don't forget who's paying. The humble and proud folk of East Willington may not have a trove of gold to spend, but they do have the recipie for their famous ale. The group of royal spies impeded by the territory of that ex-dragon perhaps don't have much coin on them, but they do have a royal...

    Offering a spot to play or DM for San Diego gamers!

    Hola! I've been running a rad Black Company d20 game around here but I'd like give the shout out to any San Diego gamers who are lookin' to play/run in a game. We usually play Fridays and if someone wanted to DM I'd gladly alternate with them. :cool: I live in El Cajon, but really anywhere in...

    "Anachronisms" in your game

    Well, I'm only running one game right now while I'm trying to get my d20 wuxia game here in San Diego off the ground (THREAD LINK IN MY SIG GUYS HAY). But, in my online steampunk game among other things there are actually punks, that is counter-culture low income people with crazy hairstyles...

    How difficult is it to climb a rope?

    I'm pretty much in agreement with the current system. Free-climbing a rope is really tough, trust me. BUT! I also totally agree that you should give dudes some bonuses for climbing at less than half their speed (15'/round) because climbing fifteen feet in six seconds is really busting ass...

    Tryin' out the new stat block

    When I do statblocks I draw a draw a combat circle, a role play circle, a skill circle, a feat circle, and an equipment cricle. Then I write the stuff in those. I, however, am weird. :uhoh:

    Game session on film?

    I think this is a rad idea -- one of my many hobbies is film editing, so I might slap something together from one of my sessions. But it would likely be just one static camera shot (unless I had several running, then I could edit together and use separate audio, but I digress) since I DM...
