23 as a DM. As a player, 12 iirc.

Thanks Ferghis that is a very helpful post.

I see it now, thanks for all your help. It's not exactly what I would like, but neither are any of the other options... What is a DM to do?

The world of Gemnos is shaped like a coin or a disc. Around the edge of the world are the mists, the Mists of Madness. Those who have entered the Mists, have never returned, at least not as far as we know. The same happens to those who delve too deep, who venture too far underground - they...

Actually, now I have tested Obsidian Portal. While you can have a wiki and hyperlinks, as far as I can see, the wiki is linked to the campaign, not the other way around. So if I have two campaigns, both set in the same world, I would have to re-enter all the lore, the world info, the NPC's etc...

Hmm, yes, it does seem I misunderstood you - I thought the campaign would always be the central part at Obsidian Portal, and then you could attach a world to it. But based on your links, it does seem that Obsidian Portal has got it all. Thanks!

I am starting to think neither will do, actually. What I want is a place where the campaign world info is the central part, and then I want to be able to add session recaps from the various campaigns I run in the world. Hyperlinks to use inside text for quick reference would be a huge bonus. If...

Hehe.. I guess I should have seen that one coming. TBH, I had completely forgotten about the campaign manager. With this new ENworld on crack, it might be worth checking out. When you say "not finished yet" do you mean "will probably be done within a month" or more like "will perhaps be done in...

For quite a few years, I have been posting recaps, houserules and campaign world lore for my D&D campaigns on a blog. I have been using Blogger for this purpose, and in general, I have been happy with the limited options of it. Now, as my next campaign is approaching, I am considering switching...

Who is talking about fiction? I am talking about a game. And while I could certainly conceive of powerful characters being challenged by evil NPCs who have specific abilities to challenge them, I most certainly do not want a game where it becomes the de facto way for me as a DM to challenge...

Sorry, I should have said a good fantasy RPG system instead. It was implied in my mind, as it is the only thing I play (and thus care about), but obviously, how could you know that ;)

May? hehehe Aye, I agree completely. In a good game system, the DM should never have to tailor make encounters with very specific monsters or NPCs with very specific abilities/gear in order to be able to challenge individual PC's just a little bit.

Dungeons & Dragons.

Afaik, a game like Next would need to be done already, if WotC were releasing it for GenCon 13. Anyway, obviously I do not know anything more than everyone else, but if you listen to the podcasts with Mearls, you really get the impression that this (the game) is nowhere near done and neither is...

Could you outline for me quickly why it is *they* seem to think so, contrary to all other evidence?

Have you guys seen this? Seems D&D will be coming in some form to IOS - starting in 2013. http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/26/dungeons-dragons-iphone-ipad-ipod-touch/

After playing 4e for 4 years, we recently switched back to 2e. In our 2e campaign, we use HD as per dndnext rules and have for almost 30 five-hour sessions. While 2e is not dndnext, they are close enough to say that with HD, you do not need the healing surge mechanic to relieve the cleric of...

Who on earth said anything about $120 for the core rulebooks?

Is that someone who worships Pun-Pun?

I voted core + slower. I like the one where you regain all your HD after a night's rest, but no HP. In fact, I adopted it for our 2e campaign. Works fairly well.
