Well, I don't know what the latest meaning to sandbox is around here now-a-days, but for me when I ran my 'sandbox' game I did the following: Grabbed two large pieces of paper. I'm not sure of the exact dimension unfortunately but I will estimate it was roughly 20"x16" (so about 4 pieces of...

Love the naming convention for the systems! I went to college at SUNY Binghamton so all the names invoke certain emotions that might get lost with someone else not familiar with the Southern Tier. Plus I'm real interested in this game so I am definitely keeping an eye on it!

how's your Latin? I'll suggest Gaudete. It's my favorite Christmas song. You can hear the song through the link if you scroll down near the bottom.

When I voted, the website redirected me to that mysterious monk post over on the 3.5e rules board. It happened to me before... odd. Anyway. I don't play mostly something else. I just outright play something else (D&D strictly speaking). An as you can see, also am not a community supporter.

How about Dogs in the Vineyard? Characters are assumed to wear longcoat type garb that denote they are Dogs and show their authority. The garment is used mechanically in game but if you styled it more like a cloak then that would work.

My hat 4 fort edision know no limit.

Ah right, Agricola. I'll definitely throw that on there. I'm a sucker for farm games.

How about a gun? Remodeling my sister's house awhile back. She had a china cabinet type piece built in as part of a wall in the dinning room. She wanted it out and just a normal wall there so while ripping it apart we found a .357 S&W revolver. She freaked out for a minute, thinking it was a...

Hmmm... The Once and Future King Rendezvous with Rama The Complete Grimm Fairytales Dogs in the Vineyard

I reflect on the events and actions that have happened in game and put the increase in a stat that seems natural for the character to have grown in.

How about one more step: No ability scores -- more fun?

Anyone have thoughts on the game Small World?

Here are some points that I learned when fooling around with terrain hazards (Zones, as they were called in Iron Heroes). First, make them worthwhile. At first there were so many I would add to a scene and be hesitant to give them too much weight as to give the characters easy 'win buttons'...

Ya know I've never really played 2-player board games (I mean other than chess maybe?) so I don't know per se if I do or don't like them, but boardgames usually get broken out as alternatives to RPGs or other group activities so I'd say that multiple player aspect is necessary. Thanks for the...

I know! I have it plus the expansion ;) I'm sorry if I was unclear as I was half paying attention while typing that and checking other websites for board game info. :blush: The games I listed are games I already own. I put them down so suggesters could avoid suggesting games already in my...

Padding my '09 Christmas List. I always throw some boardgames on there. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. I usually head over to BoardGameGeek but there's always just so many! I go for more casual/quick to play and set up games, not so much the war games or ones that take all...

I roll a d6, with each number corresponding to the letters a through f. Then use that letter and call them <one of the NATO alphabetical call words from a to f> Squad.

I believe an optimized character is one that has beliefs, traits or otherwise goals that are clear and concise as to easily express what the player feels is important to the game and themselves, and wants the GM/Referee/Judge/Story Teller/Whatever the kids call it these days to focus on. An...

maybe give World of Warcraft a whirl?

Thanks for all the tips thus far. I'm almost complete with my first round of trial dice. I have a bunch of really nice hardwood oak, maple an soon cherry wood stock from trees that I fell in my back yard over the years that I am using. I have gotten them down to cubes and decided I like the...
