I don't often play medieval fantasy these days and to some degree that has it's benefits when it comes to scheduling and number of players. In some genres and situations, not all the players are needed ever adventure. If a group of PCs are travelling together and camp out, then next week two...

An advanced society crumbles after a tragedy giving rise to medieval, magical society. Source material is source material. Any GM worth his salt can modify a setting into another setting with little or not difficulty. The ideas are what counts in my mind.

lol, it was another story - old issue, maybe late 80's or early 90's. A Dragon is slain and the local noble won't remove the carcass from this guys land. He decides to start cutting the dragon up and makes a pretty penny selling the meat even though he personally thinks it tastes aweful.

Speaking of starting a party... In high school I had a reputation, both loved and loathed, for beginning campaigns 'En Media Res' (excuse my spelling at 2:30 AM). In the middle of the action. Once adventure of Star Wars began when I said to one player, "That was close". The player's response...

Odd the connection between halflings and spicy food. :\

While I like and have always been pretty good at larger groups, these days it's hard to get more then 3 or 4 people together at once. How do you cope? Less bad guys I would suppose. lol Ahh...I remember the good old days of our gaming groups...Our Star Wars and Star Trek games had 7-8 and my...

Which 80's game was it...Rolemaster's ShadowWorld maybe...that was a traditional D&D universe except the world was actually the crash site of a generation ship thousands of years earlier. The Elves, Dwarves, Humans, etc. were 'aliens' to the planet. I think Orcs were actually the native species...

The Great Triangle, Placeholder of the World Dungeons and Dragons Homebrew World There is a place in the center of the vast northeastern sea where the water falls in on three sides. This immense, triangular 'hole' is nearly the size of England and no one knows what's at the bottom or even if it...

The Sylvan Veil Ars Magica, Dungeons & Dragons Somewhere in the northwestern forests lies the realm of the Wood Elves. It is essentially inaccesible by anyone other then a native. The region is protected by a mysterious, invisible 'wall' that stretches for miles to an unspecified distance...

Okedoke everyone, from the mind that brought you 30 Years of Weird-Strangest Campaigns Ever http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=195775 , comes 'Local Color'! What is it you say? A thread describing items, food, holidays, customs or similar elements of your campaign that have no bearing on...

I love Kenzer as a company and I am quite interested based on the buzz and previews but...I just hate Westerns. Unless you can jazz it up with Native American spirits and Steampunk I'll probably never get any use out of it. :\

A very impressive feat indeed! I personally celebrate thirty years of gaming this year, though no game I've run has come close to more then a 3-5 year stint. Kudos and here's to the next 25 years.

Jungle pic? Not sure which film your refering to. While I'm sure there are far bigger anime fans out there then me, I did spend 5 years working for an anime/manga and Japanese toy distributor and have been a fan since the early 80s. Anyone who is a D&D fan and has not seen Record of the Lodoss...

Not sure which ones your refering to. I don't offhand remember Miyazaki utilizing 'medieval fantasy' elves in any of his works. I'm talking more about the longer eared Elves from Record of the Lodoss War, Slayers and numerous other Japanese movies and shows (and computer rpgs). Also check out...

I think a lot of gamers are also people who, unlike the common masses of tv absorbed couch potatos, are unafraid of books. We think and picture things in our minds more easily, so while films, tv, computer games and comics influence us, we are able to create our own original visuals. Keep in...

While I refuse to believe there are any games that shouldn't be run :p I'll chime in... GURPS Space Opera (Hours and Hours and Hours of fun, and that's just making up your character) Role Master D20 (For people who really like charts) The Ultimate Toon (Toon Supplement for the HERO system -...

LOL - That's awesome. Sounds like my ex. She would spend hours and hours on her character. I would come home to her working on it (she got home an hour or so before me each night). As we ate dinner she'd work on it. We'd finish dinner, watch TV, have desert and then get changed for bed and she's...

Awesome! I love the routine - a classic! Reminded a bit of the cop always chasing Lupin in the Japanese anime Lupin the 3rd. lol A mention of Star Frontiers on another thread (or two) reminded me of another very strange campaign from about 12-15 years ago... First a little set up - Bored and...

I too am a big Star Frontiers fan, though I'll also admit to listing it among my 'awesome bad games' collection. We ran it quite often back in the day and I still have found memories, even if the rules and approach are quite dated now. Looking at your website did get the adrenaline going and I...

You mean...you can date cute women who aren't into gaming? I've never heard of such a thing. ;) It took a while to get my ex-wife into gaming but only because of her own initial shyness. While she had difficulty imagining the idea of playing with a group, she was already a fan of fantasy...
