    A steampunk thaumaturge's mansion!

    Okay, impressed by the success of my Blood Eating thread for my IRL Oriental Adventures game, now I'm posting with some idea requests for my PbP d20 steampunk game. :D The PCs are the motley crew of a stolen passenger zepplin called the Black Cirrus, and after reviewing various openings for...

    What are dwarves like in your campaign?

    Dwarves in my current Steampunk game both fit into the aristocratic, high-eschelon niches in society and the incredibly skilled artisian crafters near the middle. Elves, on the other hand, are second-class slave status citizens, serving anywhere from concubines, to domestics, to unskilled laborers.

    ORIENTAL ADVENTURES in SAN DIEGO! (d20/D&D3.5)

    Hola amigos! My girlfriend and I have recently moved back out here (I lived in La Mesa and she lived in La Jolla) and are ready to get our game on and start buildin' a nice pen-and-paper group. First up on my list of "Things To Run Before I Die Tragically" is a fun game of Oriental Adventures...

    Effects of an all blood diet.

    Yeah, there's magic (this almost out-of-the box OA except with only humans, and set in feudal Japan). But I'm mostly looking for the medical effects since I want this behavior to be entirely a delusion and thus merit no benefits. So, basically, he'll be pretty ill and sickly, and look bloated...

    Effects of an all blood diet.

    My next IRL campaign is going to be a wuxia-style Oriental Adventures/D&D 3.5 campaign (so LOOK ME UP San Diego gamers!) and I had a question about one of the first villians I plan on introducing in the game. While the details are still sketchy in the old brainpan, I've decided that he will...

    SAN DIEGO gamers!

    Brew, or any other San Diego gamers, willing to run anything? I wanna get this show on the road and haven't gotten to play in ages. :D Also -- any other San Diego gamers not piping up?

    Elven Flatulence

    I'm a vegetarian, but given that I live in Southern California most of my diet is beans, rice, torillas, lettuce, cheese, and tomatoes. I, indeed, fart quite a bit but they are so scentless that no one ever knows. That said, why haven't Elves created some sort of zepplin powered by their own...

    What house rules do YOU use?

    Inspired by the most insignificant house rule thread, I decided to make this -- I LOVE reading other people's house rules and have incorproated some amazing ones I read here over the years. So here are the ones I tend to use, though I've been known to mix it up for campaigns that need it: 1. No...

    SAN DIEGO gamers!

    All right, I've gotten quite a few replies in e-mail and AIM so if everyone could post here sort of sounding off their name (as much as they're comfortable giving out, forums name is fine), where they live (as far as San Diego, El Cajon, La Mesa, Clairemont, etc.), and what systems and positions...

    Reputation (B*stard DM) + 2?

    My reputation as a GM is that of a pretty fun, rad one -- but, like yourself, a hard-ass. When I first started running RPGs I had these incredibly lofty RP goals, but since I've degredaded to requiring at least a paragraph of backstory and having heavy RP be optional. HOWEVER, I do reward the...

    FLGS in San Diego, CA?

    Well damn, if there are so many of us in San Diego why don't we meet up and start getting into some games? I'd really love to play since I haven't gotten to in forever, always always running games. Belmont Park in Mission Beach is always good. :D I'd love to coordinate a meet up, just send me...

    FLGS in San Diego, CA?

    Hahaha. Hey buddy. :D Look me up on AIM sometime: ultradaveo, or e-mail @ dave.ohoh@gmail.com. BUT -- to keep this thread on its rails, since it seems to sort of be going in a San Diego in general direction, why don't all of our San Diego gamers chime in here? Maybe we can get some massively...

    FLGS in San Diego, CA?

    Awesome! Do any of these places offer a place to play pen-and-paper stuff? Which, of these, would you say is more pen-and-paper oriented? And are you guys lookin' for games? :cool:

    FLGS in San Diego, CA?

    Hey hey! I'm back (again) and hopefully this time for an extended amount of time. And so here I am, asking the vast intellect of ENWorld about the locations of FLGS and coolnes there of in San Diego, CA. I actually live in San Diego, between La Mesa and El Cajon, but really I'm interested in...

    What's your DM Shtick?

    I always have some sort of colonialism or the effects of colonialism in my games. In my current Black Company d20 game, it's the effects on the local tribal population and their subsequent attempts to reclaim the lands taken from them. Though, in my upcoming Deadlands game, the colonialism thing...

    SAN DIEGO gamers!

    Both a shameless bump, and a little clarification for San Diego gamers. I live in the La Mesa/El Cajon area near Grossmont college, I've played games (and ran a few on these forums) for ten years now, and love DMing. I love playing too, but I never, ever, get to do that. :D As for which games I...
