    Dwimmermount PDF 1st Draft -- Its Happening!

    Just a quick note to say that Dwimmermount -- the long awaited is drawing closer and closer to completion. Received an email yesterday with a link to the 1st draft of the completed PDF. Very nice! Its written for Labyrinth Lord but looks to be easily adaptable to any flavour of D&D. What a...

    So, Imagine your SO just told you they want to get pregnant

    Hi, I actually lived through this exact situation. When my wife and I first got together she asked me if I wanted kids and I said "no". She had two kids from a previous marriage and at the time, I believed and wanted to concentrate on making sure they had the best life that I could give them...

    I love Esteren -- but I just can't justify the cost *Gawds its expensive to be a gamer and live in Canada!*

    Hey All, I've been onboard for all the Esteren Kickstarters since day one and have not regretted supporting them one iota until now. Been doing my budgeting for Year 2014 game purchases and I just cannot justify $60.00 for a 50 page hard-back gaming supplement no matter how beautiful it is...

    D&D 5E (2014) New D&D Next Playtest package is up (19/9/2013) [merged threads]

    I am disappointed in the whole multiclass idea as written. The requirements are a start but don't go far enough. I always liked the simplest way of preventing cherry picking --the monk in 3E - once you choose to switch to another class -- you can never again advance in the class(s) that you...

    Adventure ideas

    Hi, I always try and tailor the first few adventures for the characters. I also like to change one or two "facts" about vanilla d&d, something simple, just to provide that sense of mystery and unbalance veteran players a little bit. Example: One group consisted of a thief, a ranger, and a...

    [June] What are you reading?

    Green Rider series by Kristen Britain, four books so far in the series. I am on book three, good series. Typical spunky female protagonist but the plots are original and the last book that I read "First Rider" has a back-story that is ready-made for a game world. Not what I would call adult...

    Describe your non-RPG book collection

    I have a ridiculous amount of non-gaming books about 4000 paperbacks SF & Mystery -- accumulated over the last 30+ years. I used to easily read a 300 pg novel each day. Had a job where I was babysitting at a flight-simulator -- too much free time (and I was single back then). Now I am married...

    T5 - The Verdict

    I just received my book today..and I must say that unfortunately from my brief scan I have a similar opinion. Beautiful book, it's cover blends nicely with my CT, MT, TNE, T4, T20, T2300AD, T2320 AD [Printed from a PDF - very nice] and of course Mongoose Trav, but it seems overly complex and is...

    Science Fiction Setting

    Hey All, I liked the Dawning Star Milieu. Found that it was a lot of fun and kind of reminded me of some of Allen Steele's Coyote series. M

    A Slightly different Myth - The Elven Point of View

    The Sundering Once we lived in joyful innocence beneath the leafy green boughs and in the depths of the jewel blue seas. Our only neighbors were the dragons in the sky. We were Fae and one with The World. The Dwarves came. They were dour folk from deep within the bones of the World. We drove...

    Creation Myth Human Perspective

    First there was only chaos then Hamaskis the great owl came and began to impose order on the cosmos. From the scattered energies of this conflict a reality came into being. This reality included Narth and the life growing there. For this world Hamaskis created caretakers. Silvanus...

    And So it Begins...

    Seems like a great opportunity to share some of the details my game. At its core my game, like many others, reflects the eternal conflict between good and evil, law and chaos, light and dark. The titanic battle between the Great Mythryl Drake Aeon and her foe the Adamantine Wyrrm Daas is...

    Teleport Idea

    Hey All, I was reading over some of my old journals from my old 3.5 campaign and I noticed how the spell teleport really didn't fit. The ability to instantly travel great distances at virtually no cost is a modern convenience that imo does not fit easily into the game. I also read over some...

    Windows 8?

    Windows 8 *Fail* IMO I work in IT and so far in my experience Windows 8 is Microsoft's biggest gaffe to date. As a tablet OS it may have what it needs, as a client OS no way. The interface is far from intuitive. The "Apps" installation mechanism is labyrinth in execution and MS seems to...

    When did Entitled become a bad word?

    I believe that "entitlement" has negative connotations because in general it refers to an individual or individuals gaining something at the expense of others. If it were zero-sum then it would not be negative, but if a person says that I am "entitled" to have "you" pay for this for me...

    *Possible Spoilers -- Pls don't read if you haven't seen the first 4 ep Hey all, I found the initial concept very cool -- neither the terrorists nor the cops are actually good guys or bad guys. The cops are corporate owned -- as is the rest of the world read: indentured slavery. The terrorists...
