    "Kobolds, we're being killed by kolbolds?" A small idea about using low CR creatures

    In my Greyhawk campaign, the land of Geoff is plagued with "Black Orcs." There are Black Orc foot soldiers, archers, sergeants, captains and generals. All the types have been given fighter levels; foot soldiers & archers 2nd level, sergeants 4th level, captains 6th level and generals 10th level...

    Why do you role-play?

    I voted for the first three. My job can be very stressfull and doing something gaming related takes my mind off of it. I also love to create and being a DM is the perfect outlet for my creative thoughts. Last and not least due to my job I do not get to hang with my friends very often, unless we...

    PbP games -- how to run them

    Oddly enough I checked my e-mail after my first post in this thread and one of my players is dropping from my PBP campaign. He has been a lurker of the game for a while but has only been a player for a little while. PBP was my only gaming for quite some time. My few gaming buddies were spread...

    PbP games -- how to run them

    I have been running a 1e D&D campaign for over four years via PBP. It is set in the World of Greyhawk and I am using the TTOEE as the campaign base. I let my players roll their own dice some use online dice rollers and others do not. I have never in the whole time I have DM'ed the campaign had a...

    Whats better... Forgotten Realms or Grey Hawk

    My first choice is always Greyhawk. I grew up playing in GH and love its wide open feel. As a DM I do not like the Forgotten Realms as there is too much written about it IMHO. I know as a DM I can ignore the stuff I don't want to use but I perfer GH openess. As a player I enjoy FR. My enjoyment...

    What is a good name for a barbarian?

    I am horrible with coming up with names, sorry. I do have to ask why you are starting with four different classes? Decado

    Biddeford, Maine RPGing?

    Man that was a fast reply! We are all over 30. I have a third player for my GH game that is in his late twenties to early thirties. Where we play depends on who is running the game. Usually it is at the DM's house so he doesn't have to lug all his stuff around. Despite that I still truck a...

    Biddeford, Maine RPGing?

    The closest thing we have to a schedule is that when we play we always play on Sunday mornings. It is usually who ever out of the three DMs has a game ready runs their game. We do not play every Sunday. The KoK campaign right now doesn't play on a regular basis due to the fact that the DM is...

    Rpg's and miniatures

    I really love using minis and my players seeme to as well. I do like to have the correct minis for the monsters or NPCs they are facing. The npcs are usually not too hard but the monsters can be tough to come by. What I try to do is have the exact (as possible) minis for the big important...

    Rpg's and miniatures

    We used minis very seldom when we played 1e. Most of the time we used a cork board and some tacks. Then about a year or so ago I got into painting minis and we started playing 3e. I feel using minis in 3e is essential, they make combat so much easier to keep track of. At least for me anyway. I...

    Thieves World

    Thanks for the reply Crothian. I am going to start looking for a used book store around here and hopefully I can find books 7-12. I have added that TW site you provided to my favorites. Have you read the latest Sanctuary book and if so what do you think? Is it as good as the originals? Thanks...

    Thieves World

    Crothian, I just spent some time reading your Thieves World d20 conversion thread, great job so far! I am really fighting the urge to drop the books I am reading now and pick up my TW books and start reading. I stated in a previous post that I have the books "Sanctuary" and "Cross-Currents"...

    Thieves World

    Thanks for the link Mr. Fidgit. Crothian, I agree TW should be played face to face. I have tried many different mediums and face to face is still my favorite. I will have to consult the website you posted earlier for a complete listing of the TW books and material. I would love to lay my...

    Thieves World

    I bought the books "Sanctuary" and "Cross-Currents" from the Science Fiction Book Club many, many years ago when I was still playing Basic D&D. I have never read them completely through, I guess I was too young to really understand and enjoy them. I always liked the setting and much to my regret...

    Castle Greyhawk - Hackmaster or d20

    If I had the extra money I would purchase all of the Hackmaster and Kalamar products as I think they are very well done. If Gygax writes Castle Greyhawk for HM I just may have to say screw the bills and start buying HM!
