I think 1000 miles as a radius. That's ample, especially if there is also a full underdark layer or layers. And I have always liked the idea of the feywild/shadowfell as the ONLY alternate planes - a chaotic, natural world filled with elemental and fey creatures, and a shadow world filled with...

Oooh! I like the lid idea. That could also explain stars - the stars are tiny flaws in the crystal dome over the world; maybe there could even be mythology about "things from outside" attacking the world's dome/lid. I imagine a fairly shallow curve, like a lens, sitting on the top edge of the...

Just as an exercise, because I've thought about it off and on for years, and have never quite wrapped my head around it, I would love some input on designing a "flat world" campaign setting. Here are my ideas so far: 1) the world has an ocean in the center, a ring of mountains on the...

My norm is one campaign, one DM, one set of players and PCs. However, at game shops where regular gaming went on, I have experienced something close to what the OP describes. In the mid/late-70's, when I was a young teen and 1e was just coming out, we played at various Hobby Shops in Copperas...

We still play 3.5e. I am currently running an E8 variant, and the PCs are approaching 8th level now. I really want to see how they like getting feats instead of more levels. We play almost without prestige classes, or even multiclassing, and just don’t bother with powergaming, tho my husband...

Sky pirates! Vikings sound fun, too. I’ve never been drawn to Eberron. I would play Greyhawk, but reluctantly.

She started playing with us in the late 70’s. My late father played a lot more, until his health declined too much. We played as a family for years. Current group is Mom, husband ( met him gaming) and 3 friends. My older brother and I play online.

Since I play with my 83 year old mother, who struggles to remember which dice to roll when, I give other players a LOT of leeway. We have a new player, who hasn't played since 1e; she's doing really well with picking up the big rules, and is even taking time to read details about skills, etc...

Well, we still play 3.5e (epic 8th, this campaign).

Turns out it was my ad-suppressor in my browser. Once I disabled that for the site, it worked fine!

Hmm... all I get is big blank box. Not sure why.

Elder crocodile god Nobles traveling on a barge, forcing everyone to yeild right-of-way Wedding procession, either on the river, or on the bank. Funeral/holy day, etc... can easily replace. Cataracts with fey/lesser deity guardians - the Nile had several sets of cataracts that divided Egypt...

Well, does the lich still have a phylactery? He may not need it to stay alive, but it might still contain enough of his essence that destroying it would substantially weaken him. Finding said phylactery could be a lifelong challenge. Where was it made? Who made it? What does it look like? Where...

So, here's my current campaign's metaplot, as I have so far worked it out: Ancient Powers at war In all of the World, well before the time of the 1st Miraborian Empire, there were 10-12 extremely powerful godling/wizard-emperor/magical beings, each with many more powerful underlings. They...

A story that informs the world situation, which the PCs may or may not actually interact with or try to “solve”.

Is there a particular place (here on EnWorld or elsewhere) that is particularly good for getting metaplot help/discussion? I have a thorny issue I'd love to discuss, but I rarely see such discussions here, and they rarely get more than a few responses...

I play with my now 82 yr old Mom, and my dad played up until the last year of his life. Dnd is a family game like no other!

In the current game, we have a player who brings bags of popcorn and cheetos every week. Since 3 of the 5 players live in my home, we also provide snacks/drinks. Usually this is in the form of other chips but sometimes includes desserts, fruit or nuts or other snacky stuff that we've got around.

In my current campaign, PCs came upon a ruined town (about 3-500 years old). In the course of riding through the ruins, they met a small party of goblins/ogres. In another spot in the ruins, not too far away, they heard something "digging". At the time, I had a randomish monster (antlions) in...
