Mutant City Blues looks interesting to say the least. And it's on sale. I was checking the price on RPGNow and, "This title is one of Twenty for Ten titles. It will be $10.00 from now until January 7."

I have not played Esoterrorists myself, but based on the partial review a friend of mine wrote, I've been wanting to give it a try. (Transitive Property of Gaming: Esoterrorists) From what I've seen of the game, it seems like you could get ideas for adventures from any "Enquirer" or "Star"...

If you want a campaign wiki, why not just run a full wiki on your computer? You don't need internet access to host a local web page. Really, all a wiki does is open a page in your browser and then let you click on links to other pages. It doesn't know or care whether the pages are on your...

As much as I'm a huge Doctor Who fan, I question whether you can really have a continuing campaign focused around the current Doctor himself. He's really not so much a man as a god. (Or as people described Gandalf, a plot device.) If he is involved, the entire play group would be relegated to...

There's a free version of Vue that you can try out. It doesn't have all the features of the full version (of course) but it might give you a taste of how such a program would work. e-on software - Vue 8 Pioneer

I have used a number of different 3D programs, including some which can do 3D terrain. There are a few issues with what you want to do that you may not realize are there. First, 3D programs tend to have a steep learning curve. They're not designed to let you throw together a random terrain in...

I used Elements of Magic (with personal rewrites) in several campaigns. I find it an excellent way of creating magic that is neutral to class. The priests and the wizards can still learn their magic in different ways and dra on different power sources, but the mechanics are identical. It also...

I think you've answered your own question, in a way. If you create a more reasonable economy, then the economy itself will suggest adventures and plots. For instance: If land really is the source of wealth, then the control of deeds and/or titles will become very important. This can lead to...

Okay, perhaps a poor choice of wording. It should have written "D&D does not have to be a video game where the vendors stand around with unlimited money to buy stuff." There is nothing wrong if your style of play is to hand-wave all economics and just say that the local village has whatever...

There's are several simple fact that will keep every paladin from taking a suit of platemail so they can run out and sell it: 1) Who is buying that armor? It's going to take the resources of a lord, one who happens to need plate armor in your size, to buy something like that. 2) Whoever...

You were looking for module suggestions. Although it's 3E, the module "The Transmuter’s Last Touch" from Goodman Games (Dungeon Crawl Classics) would probably be a good module, and it's only $2. It has a fairly linear path and there's a ton of fun to be had because you can gain temporary...

Try looking at one of the index sites. For example: Dragon Magazine Cover Listing - RPGnet RPG Game Index

When you ask about the contents of territories, do you mean the elements that would appear on a map or do you mean the resources that would be available? If you mean the map, I would do some online searching for old maps, particularly with words like "territory" in them, trying to find maps...

If you want simple, just sit all the goblins up facing the door the PCs will enter and put a smile on their faces. That should properly creep them out. I know my players wouldn't go into that room without fireballing it first.

This is based on an adventure I wrote a while back: They're travelling with entertainers; right? A local lord is having a celebration to honor his daughter and wants more entertainment. He orders the entertainers to his keep. The guards assume the PCs are part of the troupe and force them to...

For "3D" carpets, which OP mentioned, go to a fabric or craft store and buy some scraps of cloth. Cut them to various sizes. Drop them on the board for carpets/rungs.

The only edition I did this in was 3.5. I ended up replacing all classes with six generic ones which could be combined to create basically any role you wanted. (Caster, fighter, skill monkey, plus the three halfway between those.) The players adapted to it well and seemed to really like it...

This may be a stupid question, but I haven't really been paying attention to 4th Edition until recently. There was at one point a way to legally acquire the PDF versions of the various books; right? You used to be able to get them, but then they were pulled when WoTC pulled the PDFs for prior...

My group this week decided to get into 4e. If we purchase a copy of the hardbound book, can we still then purchase a PDF copy of the book at a reduced or free level? I know WoTC pulled their RPGNow PDFs, but have they removed all PDFs? Our local gaming shop didn't know the answer and I can't...

You may want to also look at the Properties/Settings under Options menu. The Full Screen / Slideshow settings will allow you to turn off the text that is displayed in base full screen mode that lists the filename. It will also let you decide whether to stretch all images to the full size of...
