    Alternate (low) magic systems

    Next semester, I'm going to be running a new campaign with a completely new group of players. Some of them will have more or less experience with various editions, but this is the first long-term game that I will run in 3.5. The campaign is going to be set in a homebrew world that I've been...

    101 Ancient Cultures fit for a Campaign...

    How about the ancient Himalayan region: Tibet, Nepal, and their interactions with cultures in India and China.

    Book of Vile Darkness

    I'm buying it for sure. The campaign I'm currently running has several evil characters in it, and the subject matter is somewhat dark (a new island is discovered by Cali:):):):)e sailors, and the underground ruins hint at a lost civilization destroyed by an unspeakable evil). I also need the...

    E-Tools

    Wonder if it's available here in Cali yet. Can't wait to get that on my laptop. I'm calling my local game shop tomorrow morning to ask when they're getting it.

    Looking for Player's

    My schedule is open or at least informal most of the time too. The only nights I wouldn't want are Friday and Saturday (these being somewhat sacred to me). AIM is fine with me, since I use it all the time. As for my character, I'm thinking either a Sun Elf wizard or a Moon Elf druid. I enjoy...

    Looking for Player's

    I'd be interested in joining such a campaign. I have a few questions: What days and times will we play? Will we play on IRC or using some kind of software? What level will we start at, and what options are available (what books are allowed, etc). I usually DM, so I would love an opportunity...

    Epic Level Adventure Ideas (Share Yours)

    A large city in a wealthy kingdom is suddenly rocked by a massive crime wave. I turns out that the city has been infiltrated by not one, but two (warring) organized crime organizations. These happen to be the Epic Level Oriental Adventures equivalent of Chinese Triads. Imagine epic-level...

    Did you know about D&D's reputation before buying?

    I started playing at age 10, back in 1995. I was in 4th grade and hadn't heard of D&D before my friend Adrian got me into it. Adrian is from the East Coast, and I think he's pretty much the one responsible for introducing D&D to the current high-school generation in San Diego...

    Favorite Wielding Style

    Hmm... I guess I prefer dual-wielding, especially with exotic weapons. Asian weapons. Kamas, 'chucks, Chinese double swords, butterfly knives, tiger-head hooks... you name it, I'll dual-wield it. Fighter/Monks are the best for this. OTOH, I also love polearms. They can be really effective...

    WW's "Top Secret" project

    Because if WW did WoD game using the generic d20 open license, they wouldn't be able to include info for character generation or level advancement. Then anyone who wanted to play, say, Vampire d20, would have to look in the D&D PH whenever they wanted to level up their characters. Not...

    Vampire d20 And The Flying Pigs Outside My Window

    I'd love to see official d20 versions of Vampire and Mage. Werewolf would be cool too I guess, but I don't like Werewolf anyway. Actually, I thought a long time ago about converting Mage to d20, but the task proved too daunting. Not that I would have been able to publish it. I hope that WW...

    (OT) Mage (the game)

    In response to clvrmonkey In response to clvrmonkey's post, I agree that Mage is not a game for new roleplayers. Mage is more suited to experienced roleplayers, and I definitely mean *role*players and not *roll*players. Mage is not a game for hack-n-slashers. Also, I have read and played the...

    (OT) Mage (the game)

    it rocks! Yeah, M:tA rocks the house. It is my favorite RPG by far. Any setting is possible, although modern/near future is most common. It tends to have a dark, gritty flavor like most all World of Darkness games. The magic system is extremely open-ended and flexible, and IMHO is the best...

    What's Hot? What are you playing besides 3E

    I'm currently only running a 3E Forgotten Realms game. We (at least some of our group) are eagerly awaiting Call of Cthulhu d20. We've occasionally played Star Wars d20 games in the past, but I dislike SW and am the main DM/GM of the group. What I really want to run, though, is a game of...

    Help DnD 12 year old DM

    Where to start? Make sure you read the DMG thoroughly, especially the chapters on Running the Game, Adventures, Campaigns, World-Building, etc. If you've never DMed before, you're better off running a ready-made adventure like Sunless Citadel to begin with. If you do, make sure you read the...

    BADD - Web site up and running

    Cool! Once I get the full stats and background worked out for the Adult Green Dragon that's about to become a major villain in my campaign, I'll submit it to the site.

    [B.A.D.D.] - Web site

    Latin? Bah! Nah, the BADD motto isn't in Latin, it's in Draconic of course. As per that one issue of Dragon magazine. Yeah, well it's one in the morning here so I'm too tired to translate it, but rest assured it's in Draconic and I'm pretty darn sure 'darastrix' is the word for dragon.

    Oldies but goodies: 1e/2e books you still use?

    1. Complete Book of Elves from 2E. I was way disappointed when 3E made elves all... not cool anymore. It's Mialee's fault I figure. She looks more like an alien than a Hot Elf Chick. But then FRCS came out and fixed that. Still, the Complete Book of Elves is the greatest resource...

    Please help - with this Character concept

    Sounds like a pretty cool concept. I'd like to see a fully fleshed-out background for this character, especially explaining why he does what he does and has that particular set of values. IMC my players use a set of worksheets that I designed to help flesh out a character's background...
