I never used modules, having an active imagination, I always came up with my own adventures to run. I owned some modules (A, D & G seires, B4, N2 & 4, S1, T1 & Undermountain and recently have acquired B1, 2 & 3, T1-4) but never did anything but look through them or use the maps for my own...

If I only had to go with just one system I think I'd have to say BECMI/RC. Especially RC, it's everything needed under one cover. Mostly because it's a simpler and more of a rules light system compared to later D&D editions IMO. Furthermore, it also gives rules on kingdom building and gaining...

I designed my own system for personal use. It is a heavily revised version of an incomplete system I originally wrote back in 1998 when deciding to call it quits with running D&D. The system is a 73 page MS Word document (including cover page and tables of content). I have no plans to publish...

I live maybe three miles from The Bookery in Fairborn, Ohio. To the best of my knowledge it is the only gamestore to be found in Clark, Greene, Miami and Montgomery counties. There was aplace opened up called Wexham Hill a few years ago, but I no longer know if it is still in business. Both...

I have just reached my 27th gaming anniversary.

I have the other players handle running a missing player's character. I do this by random determination, all players present roll a d10, who ever has the highest result plays the character. If there's more than 1 player missing, who ever had the 2nd highest result also gets a character until...

I've already designed a system I use for myself. It's written in MS Word and has a 72 page count (which is longer than your suggested 30-40 pages). So my question is can we submit something we've already writtten, or does it need to be something newly designed for the contest.

When you carry a set of polyhedral dice upon your person at all times.

Flametongue Rod of Lordly Might Hewards Handy Haversack Wand of Wonder (I had a copy of Dragon that gave something like four alternate versions in addition to the DMG version, so I'd roll a D6 (reroll 6's) to determine which version table to roll on for the effect, everytime my players would use...

Time of Troubles? What's that? I ran my campaign as if ToT never happened. With the exception of adding in a few deities as they appeared in the the 2nd edition books and supplements (though my campaigns never focused too much on Realms Religeon, except maybe for recording a pc clerics patron...

I've designed two game systems. The first I designed back in 1997 and ran through late 2006. None of my players said anything negative about it, at least not to me. It didn't work for groups of 4+ players as the combat system was kinda klunky slowing down play a lot. The second system is a...

I bought CC2 a few years ago, with the big users manual, and recieved CC3 as a free upgrade. I've played around with using both versions but never bothered taken time to learn them and have continued to do all mapping by hand. Maybe these videos will inspire me to learn to use the CC3.

Character descriptions are nothing new to me, I've been using them in my games for a long time. There was one point in the article that I found useful. The bit about not getting into too much detail, in case the character leads an unplanned short career. This was something that had not...

Another delay here also. I'm going to be cancelling my pe-order as soon as I can get home and look up my account info. Then I'll send Amazon a far from polite e-mail to their customer service, letting them know they've lost a customer. I don't have any real need of the 4e books, I was getting...

I don't think I've ever run any kind of campaign with any over-reaching plots. IME, my players will constantly deviate from any sort of plot and head off in new directions. What I do is map out a fairly large geographical region. Come up with a few smaller sub-regional names and the names of...

I like to use mini's for tactical situations (which means they get used for most combats). I like them for the visual reference they provide so everyone has a feel for the situation. I used to never use them. I'd often have something like a dozen orcs in a 20'x20' room only to have a dozen...

I've never played in public. I feel uncomfortable to varying degree's when I think people I don't know are taking interest in my actions (pretty much regardless of what my actions might be at the moment). I've never been to con or game-day either. I can easily imagine, I'd feel uncomfortable...

No vote for me because there's no "Other, explain below" option. I'd run a hybrid 1e/2e game. It's what I did once 2e came out. Except for a few minor changes, I never saw much difference between the two editions (but then I never bought many 2e products except for the "core" rulebooks and FR...

I pre-ordered the gift set on February 28th from Amazon and just got notice today the order won't arrive anywhere from June 16th to July 1st. Personally, this is the last time I order anything from Amazon. For whatever reason, they can never get my orders out on time. I had ordered a cd from...

Business as usual for me. I'll continue to run my homebrew campaign. I use my own system, so D&D edition changes (or any other published systems) have no major impact on my game. I've got the core books on pre-order and will take my time to read through them and eventually give 4e a test run...
