    Romanesque world setting?

    What I was thinking of doing was turning all of the Roman fears/superstitions into real things. For instance, if you look at the fall of Pompeii, from my campaign's point of view. The story starts out the disappearance of the Aquarius shortly followed by the failure of the aquaduct. The PC's...

    How Would You Run A Western? (Magnificent Seven? Firefly?)

    It all depends on what you want. For me, Westerns are living and dieing by the gun, and everything else is fluff. That is why I still think Boot Hill is a great game. Unless you are coming up with a campaign requiring lots of skills, character actions can be resolved by RPing, like in the...

    Romanesque world setting?

    Thanks everybody for the information. For now I bought three piecesm Morningstar, Roma Imperious, and the AD&D supplement. I would love to get the original FVLMINATA, but can't find it anywhere. And, I will get the Green Ronin one and the FVLMINATA D20 if that ever comes out. Thanks again...

    How do I deal with a player that kills his character on purpose?

    I would find out why he wants a new character so bad. If it is because he feels underpowered and you start him at a lower level, then you will still have an unhappy player. IMO, a PC should never start 2 levels below the rest of the party, there is way too much discrepancy in power and the...

    Romanesque world setting?

    Looks like this will be harder than I imagined as it is out of print and not available anywhere. Well, looks like I will stick with what I bought and waitin to see if FVLMINATA D20 ever somes out.

    Romanesque world setting?

    I don't think it is out yet, I went on their forums and it looks like it is on a prolonged hiatus. :( I think I will get the non D20 one as adapting the rules is usually not hard. It is good fluff I am interested in. Reading the review of the original I did like how they tied the gods to...

    Monthly Games

    I found for me my weekends were harder to set aside. There are always chores, family functions, social events, etc that always fall on weekends. I switched to a Wednesday night game that meets for 3-4 hours and it has worked out great. Weeknights are generally easier for people to free up...

    Romanesque world setting?

    I am wondering if there is a campaign setting established that sets up a romanesque world? By this I mean advanced architecture, literature, philosophy, a strong ruling empire. Rome is one of the staple foundations used for D&D and I can't think of a setting focusing on it. Please, tell me I...

    Quick ASOIAF A Clash of Kings question (SPOILER)

    Wasn't Tysha's demise the work of his his father? I thought it was his father that had every guardsman sleep with Tysha and then had Tyrion sleep with her one more time. I honesty can't remember what happened to her after that. Did Tyrion kill her? I would also agree that this happens years...

    Quick ASOIAF A Clash of Kings question (SPOILER)

    I don't disagree that he has some redeeming to do, it is just significanly less than many other characters. I was trying, albiet poorly, to state that he has a long history of good intentions. From visiting The Wall and helping them, to designing a special saddle for Bran, to finding ways to...

    Quick ASOIAF A Clash of Kings question (SPOILER)

    Spoilers to follow IMO it is Tyrions reasons/motivations for actions that make him different than his father. His father is all about personal power and glory and will do whatever it takes to gain his goals. Tyrion takes much more than personal glory or his family's power (although this does...

    Too Much Roleplaying - Not Enough Hacking - keeping the action flowing

    I really like RP heavy games, but also try and have a combat or other dangerous situation 1x a game. But my players refuse to get involved in details of plot. They do not like to talk in character, engage in depth with NPCs, intergrate with society by buying land, etc... They want to fight...

    Quick ASOIAF A Clash of Kings question (SPOILER)

    Outside of Jon, Tyrion may be the one least needed for redemption. GRRM gives a great line in the first book, that forshadows much about Tyrion's personal character. "When he opened the door, the light from within threw his shadow clear across the yard, and just for a moment Tyrion Lannister...

    Quick ASOIAF A Clash of Kings question (SPOILER)

    I for one hope he is done, but GRRM invested a lot of character time with him, especially showing the strain between his upbringing w/ the Starks and the life style and expections of his birth home. GRRM sort of sets up a hole for redemption for the character (which I do not see) or he has set...
