I had the problem where it did not work at all. Then I had a SERIOUS computer problem and I had to install windows fresh (All settings clean). Now it works perfectly. So there was some setting somewhere that over the years I had switched I assume. It also fixed my problem with a lot of flash...

For me it is the writing. I've been making worlds and writing stories since before kindergarten. I briefly encountered roleplaying a pair of times during my youth, but never got into it or understood it then. College changed that. Despite the fact I was busy learning about alcohol and its...

Well, thanks to @el-remmen and his neat link on story hours, I have made my serial fiction available for download as well - both as single episodes and an aggregate. If you prefer to read as an e-book, you can grab the FREE digital compilations here...

I've been working on a new serial fiction (Started on the 4th of July) that updates on Wednesdays at: http://blog.thesilvertower.net/ Feel free to comment here. I'll also gladly answer question on the world and the RPG system for it. ---------------------- Smoss

I've tried a little of everything over the years. For my newest setting, I instead made an intro adventure. All I want from a character is a short "why they are at this place". The adventure does the rest - whether PCs know each other or not. A homage to "Jacob's Well" from Ye Olde Days, the...

This made me check the date to see if it was April 1... Smoss -------------- Check out my new fiction series, Enzi's Irregulars! Updates on Wednesdays: The Silver Tower Chronicles

Definitely some fluff changes for my world (Doulairen) Dwarves - Call themselves the Halz. More "german engineers" than "scottish drunkards" (Halz is actually based on the german words for dwarves in their folklore). They also have a more earthy appearance (Craggy looks, like hewn from stone...

A GM friend of mine did "Return to Jacob's Well" - Based on the same PC returning to a rebuilt up area years after the first adventure )Which was a great little solo adventure from the old magazines...) Smoss

Surprised I haven't seen mention of the old classic... The Dwarven Throwing Hammer! When swung by a dwarf, the hammer will throw the dwarf at the target... An oldie but still fun. Smoss

Lets see here... The Three Brothers - Three greatswords forged at the Forge of Souls, each with their own flavor of doom The Two Sisters - A pair of rings that are related to the swords above (Both sets created in the First Age) Amulet of Dreams - Allows a user to enter someones dreams Book...

Yeah, seems I missed this too. I have a similar yet different group in my world - the Cleansers. I took some ideas from the Witcher (books and video games). Though mine are more a certain subset of adventurers. I love my PCs reactions when they see one (Easily identified as they wear starkly...

To steal from Songs to Wear Pants to (And my friend Sarah's obsession): Pink Fluffy Unicorns! PINK FLUFFY UNICORNS DANCING ON RAINBOWS - YouTube Golgolak says "What, they scare US, figure they scare others too!" Smoss

When I designed my own RPG system, the talent tree model was something I heavily borrowed from. Since my system has no classes or levels it worked out even better (Highly customizable characters). I include racial trees (As well as racial feats too) that races can differentiate themselves more...

As a PC, I dealt with a couple of interesting NPCs. One was Neighbor Finnian. He was a demon in disguise and his plots caused us great consternation. Our taunts against him were epic (The "Don King" incident will be remembered forever). And the final journey into the Abyss itself to finish...

My own RPG rules have spells cause "drain". You accumulate points based on the power of the spell. The basic concept is that the more drain points you have, the worse things get for you. Smoss

Playing: 1) A BDF and a mind mage for playtesting new rule fixes for a friend's homebrew. 2) Various chars for 4e once every 2 months or so. GM Stuff: 1) Slowly adding more flavor text to the area descriptions of my world (6th Age of Doulairen) 2) Designing the second full sized adventure...

I use a modified form of "Rocket Tag" myself in my RPG system. Heroes can take a number of hits (wounds), often 1 or 2 hits before being downed (And up to around 4 hits). I love the feeling it gives the PCs of "We could very well die, this is QUITE dangerous". Most of what keeps things...

Minions were quite nice in their own way (Like the mooks from Savage Worlds or other 1 hit critters that came before 4e). I can see some conceptual issues (As brought up in earlier posts) - but mechanically they were beautiful (No book-keeping, one hit go boom, etc) It really helped me...
