In my D&D games, players don't know their stats (abilities, saves, hit points, skill ranks etc) but they still roll their own dice. I add the relevant mods as needed. Helps immersion, keeps them guessing, yet still allows them to retain ownership and that vital sense of control and involvement...

I was going to vote for a series of adventures, as that is usually how I understand it. But then I thought about how I use it myself. I use it to mean the overall gameworld, as in "the Greyhawk campaign" and I tend to refer to series of adventures as "arcs" or "campaign arcs". It's not cut...

Torg. :(

Home field advantage for me, nothing more ;). Wouldn't fare nearly as well with, say, Birthright... No worries - Jhaelen got it covered, lol... Dark Sun!!! OK, OK. Something else, then. What about Planescape? That's huge and sprawling enough for you to be able to find some really obscure...

Yes. There might be treasure behind the secret door!

Dark Sun?? Woot!!! 1. Which Dark Sun adventure involved a githyanki invasion of Athas? Yup. Not really hard, as it's the last adventure I prepped for my DS game. 2. Which of the following creatures from the first Dark Sun Monstrous Compendium is a small dog-like creature that considers...

The young girl was taken in from the street while passing by, I thought, and not an image from anywhere else. The old man seemed to be the "original" neighbour. Anyway, just an idle thought. Just struck me as interesting that he had hair and clothes like Hartnell's, was of a similar age, and...

As for the speculation about the pseudo-TARDIS in "The Lodger", I thought that the hologram of the old man version of the neighbour that appeared looked an awful lot like the First Doctor. I wondered if that had something to do with the origins of the pseudo-TARDIS. In searching for a pilot...

It's awesome. Easily the best TV show I've ever seen. Yes, it takes about a half-dozen episodes just to get up to speed, but once it's off and rolling, it's the most original, surprising, inventive and downright believable show out there. Just simply the best. It's all in the game ;).

Awesome. He even has his own Rod of Lordly Might. And a giant club, too.

Greg, you're welcome! It's a great product!

Congrats, man! Welcome to the wonderful world of podcasting :)

Gwen still in it? I'm sold. :D

We played this last year - lots of great fun. If I recall correctly, our GM sent us up against a race that was basically Ewoks with kalashnikovs, so blowing them up in a variety of interesting races was hugely enjoyable. The very sparse rules encourage innovative roleplaying to flesh the game...

Awesome - reading it now. Also just posted a review of part I up in the reviews section :).

Slumbering Tsar: The Desolation, Part I - The Edge of Oblivion is the opening part of the Slumbering Tsar mega-adventure and the debut release from Frog God Games. It details a forlorn and forsaken outpost at the edge of a terrifying wilderness and acts as the jumping-off point for adventures...

Great ideas Lanefan. I used travel time back in the days of 1e more than now, but it's a factor in my current PF game. Training times, item creation times - these also pay into the slowing of advancement. There are ways to deal with the treasure issue as well. I think that 4e does something...

Well, to get it vaguely back onto house-rules, slowing the rate of xp acquisition is a house-rule that we toyed with from time to time, for exactly the reasons you're mentioning here. A campaign that takes characters from farmboys to godslayers in mere months of game-time has a certain appeal...
