    TOON the cartoon RPG, anybody play it?

    My nephew bought it once upon a time (he was 11 or 12, I was in my 20s). We spent the whole afternoon playing all the scenarios that came in the rule book, and laughed until tears several times that afternoon, but that's all my experience with the game. Must think to ask the nephew or his...

    A Stranger Comes To Town: Designing RPG Adventures For Static Locations

    My campaign is just reaching a stage where I can do that sort of thing easily. Only one of the PCs is actually from the area they're working in/out of and has family there, but the rest have been in the area for a couple of months game-time and have become good friends with several of the...

    Whatever Happened to Acererak?

    I still use 2nd Edition so the one from MM2 is still workable in my campaign when opportunity comes round. I may even have an Underdark variant come up at some point since we're playing Night Below.

    I may well steal that pulp novel idea, that sounds absolutely brilliant!

    Good, Short One-Shots For A Demo?

    Do you have any old copies of Dungeon magazine in your collection? Adventures like "Night of Fear", "A Local Legend" or "Nine Tenths of the Law" might fit the bill.

    Whatever Happened to Acererak?

    OT to the thread: Did the froghemoth survive beyond 1st edition? It's not in my Monstrous Compendium or Monstrous Manual for 2nd, nor in my MC appendices. I didn't buy the Greyhawk MC expansion, maybe it's in there? One of my favorite critters, and the main reason I went out of the way to...

    What SHOULD be the purpose of magic items in an RPG?

    My players just found a wand that is both a plot point and a pun. Unbeknownst to them, the abbey the cleric wants to reclaim that was over-run and abandoned during a major war a thousand years ago has an unwilling guardian. A Valkyrie was sent to help defend the abbey against the invaders...

    Hey, Thomas, A couple of random thoughts for things that might be fun in your setting(s): If you ever run a campaign in your Venus setting, I recommend you read David Drake's novel "The Jungle" or Henry Kuttner's works the Venus setting is drawn from. Some very interesting ideas for...

    How old were you when your first GMed an RPG?

    15 going on 16, Spring of 1982. Three friends and I had been playing the Dungeon! board game for a while, and I'd heard of D&D only because my grandmother was a staunch fan of the 700 Club. I was in her living room one day (late '81) and heard one of the old guys on the show saying how "we...

    Idea for Any Game with Beholders or Similar Creatures

    Howdy, all. Been lurking here for a while, finally signed up and this is my first post. I recently added creatures called Dimensional Urchins to my AD&D2E game. They create large, semi-magical pearls that are valued as spell components for Identify spells, and for their great rarity and...
